Happy Friday!
This week, I'm getting an exciting start to the weekend with the start of Lynette Eason's newest series, Oath of Honor (series: Blue Justice). Enjoy!
First Line: Officer Izzy St. John plopped down at the table of one of Columbia, South Carolina's, finest Chinese restaurants and opened the fast-food carton of General Tso's chicken and white rice.
From Page 56: It occurred to her why he was here. He wanted to make sure that he hadn't left any evidence behind from earlier.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Police officer Isabelle St. John loves her crazy, loud, law-enforcement family. With three brothers and two sisters, she's never without someone to hang out with—or fight with. And she knows they'll be there for her when things get tough. Like when her partner is murdered and she barely escapes with her own life.
Determined to discover exactly what happened, Izzy's investigation sends her headfirst into a criminal organization, possibly with cops on the payroll—including someone from her own family. With her dead partner's handsome homicide detective brother Ryan shadowing her every move, Izzy's head is spinning. How can she secure justice for her partner when doing so could mean sending someone she loves to prison? And how will she guard her heart when the man she's had a secret crush on for years won't leave her side?
Now, feel free to leave a line from a book near you in the comments below.

*This week, Hoarding Books is hosting a diversity/Civil Rights-themed FLF to honor Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.
I've been to Columbia, South Carolina so now I'm curios about this read.

My friend Yaira said to be brave - but why? Brave or scared, we kept marching. She told me to be a big girl, not to cry, but I'm only five and I've seen big men crying.
Happy Weekend!
I am really looking forward to this book!!! I’m diving into Missing Isaac by Valerie Fraser Luesse today!

Night crept over the hills, smothering the landscape in a cocoon of darkness that would hide him in a few minutes. - Haven of Swans by Colleen Coble
