Friday Memes: Tell the Wind and Fire by Sarah Rees Brennan

Happy Friday everybody!!
Book Beginnings on Friday is now hosted by Rose City Reader. The Friday 56 is hosted at Freda's Voice. Check out the links above for the rules and for the posts of the participants each week. Don’t dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST.

Beginning:
It was the best of times until it was the worst of times.
Friday 56 (from location 560 on my Kindle):
I wanted to cry, suddenly, as I had not been able to cry for days. But I didn't want to cry in front of Aunt Leila, who was the strongest person I knew. It was impossible to imagine Aunt Leila ever crying.
This week I am spotlighting Tell the Wind and Fire by Sarah Rees Brennan. I got this eARC from NetGalley. Here is the description from Amazon:
In a city divided between opulent luxury in the Light and fierce privations in the Dark, a determined young woman survives by guarding her secrets.

Lucie Manette was born in the Dark half of the city, but careful manipulations won her a home in the Light, celebrity status, and a rich, loving boyfriend. Now she just wants to keep her head down, but her boyfriend has a dark secret of his own—one involving an apparent stranger who is destitute and despised. Lucie alone knows the young men’s deadly connection, and even as the knowledge leads her to make a grave mistake, she can trust no one with the truth.

Blood and secrets alike spill out when revolution erupts. With both halves of the city burning, and mercy nowhere to be found, can Lucie save either boy—or herself?

Celebrated author Sarah Rees Brennan weaves a magical tale of romance and revolution, love and loss.

  1. Great hook for the beginning. This one sounds compelling. I can only imagine how bad it can get if the secret gets out. Which, I'm sure it does!
