Book Beginnings, First Line Friday, & Friday 56: Flight (The Collective Underground #3) by Kristen Young

Book Beginnings is a weekly meme hosted by Rose City Reader that asks you to share the first sentence (or so) of the book you're reading. Friday 56 is hosted by Freda's Voice and asks you to grab a book (any book), turn to page 56 or 56% in your ereader and share a non-spoilery sentence or two. I'm also linking up with Carrie at Reading is My Superpower for First Line Friday.

This week I'm featuring Flight (The Collective Underground #3) by Kristen Young.

About the Book
The fight for what is right is also a fight to survive

On the cusp of graduation, Cadence is finally feeling in control. She’s about to become one of the prestigious Elites working in the Hall of Love. Plus, she can take her place as a full member of the underground Sirens who meet secretly in Love City. She’ll finally be able to use her memory skills for good, instead of reporting people as a Watcher.

But a dangerous trap is set, throwing Cadence into unwelcome and unfamiliar territory. Someone in the Collective remembers things that could very well get her killed. The Muse is by her side, after all, but will she be protected when someone powerful wants her dead?

Cadence just wants to be normal, free from politics or squad intimidation. Will she be able to achieve her Elite dreams, or will sinister forces leave her running for her life?

Book Beginnings / First Line Friday
Once the Sirens underground meeting is finished, we work the usual anti-surveillance measures to get back to Elite Academy.

Friday 56
"Hi, everyone, sorry I'm late. I had a bit to do back at the soup kitchen." He smiles broadly at Aria in a way that makes me want to kick him.

  4. I'm currently reading Murmur in the Mud Caves by Kathleen Denly. It's a pretty good read!
    "Sweat soaked Biddie's bodice and dripped down her face as she worked with Lucy and Virginia to fill their wheelbarrow with clay from the banks of the narrow creek bed."
    I hope you have an excellent weekend! 😀❤️📚
