First Line Friday – 70 North

Welcome to First Line Friday, hosted by Reading is my SuperPower! It’s time to grab the book you’re reading, and share the first line!

Today I’m sharing the first line of the finale in the Alaskan Cyber Hunters series from the amazing Kimberley Woodhouse. Guys this series has been fantastic. I’ll be sharing my review of 70 North in the coming weeks, but I can tell you this – you’re going to want to read it. 🙂 And if this opening line (from Chapter 1, not the prologue – only because I think it’s attention grabbing) doesn’t make you run to buy it right now, then I’m hoping it’s because you already own a copy. Ha!

"A powerful exploration of resilience and redemption."
--Lynette Eason, best-selling and award-winning author of the Lake City Heroes series
The Cyber Solutions team has managed to stay one step ahead of the madman who has killed so many. From the original 26 Below cyberattack in Fairbanks to the 8 DOWN serial murders in Anchorage and beyond, they matched wits with the killer and stopped him from reaching his ultimate goals.
But final judgment is coming. And this time, there may be no defeating him.
David "Mac" McPherson has a personal stake in making sure this predator stays down for good. His family died in the cyberattack. Mac knows that God says "vengeance is mine"--but surely an exception can be made.
Surgeon Tracie Hunter is determined to stay sober and keep saving lives in Fairbanks, Alaska--even if it means being a little obsessive. After all, that same kind of determination is how she kept Mac alive after the murderer targeted him. And she won't let Mac run himself into the grave looking for payback; he's come to mean too much to her.
Then someone hacks into the system at Tracie's previous job as a medical examiner and frames her in a murder cover-up. There's no one else skilled enough to create a digital trail this incriminating--the killer is back in action, exploiting cybersecurity weaknesses to destroy lives. Can Mac stay focused and stop the next attack when his own vulnerability is exposed? Or will his need to make someone pay for his pain allow the maniac to pull ahead and win at last?
"70 North had me on the edge of my seat for the whole nail-biting ride."
--Patricia Bradley, winner of the Inspirational Readers' Choice Book Award
"Kimberley Woodhouse once again gives us a fast-paced, intriguing thriller that kept me turning the pages, unable to put the book down until the story concluded."
--Tracie Peterson, EPCA and USA Today best-selling author of the Pictures of the Heart series
