Welcome to The Friday 56 hosted by Freda’s Voice.
This is a really fun meme!
The only rules are to grab a book (any book), turn to page 56 or 56% in your eReader and find a sentence or a few (no spoilers) that grabs you and post it.
Then go over to Freda’s Voice and leave your link so we can visit your 56!
My 56 for this week is from:
Hidden
Alexs Verus #5
by Benedict Jacka
Genre: Urban Fantasy
From page 56 in the paperback.
“Just out of curiosity, how much of that strength of yours is muscle and how much is magic?”
“Drop by the gym some day and find out.”
I grinned at her. “Is that a challenge?”

Synopsis
With his talent for divining the future, Alex Verus should have foreseen his friends’ reactions to the revelations about his previous life. Anne Walker no longer trusts him—and has also cut all ties with the mage community after getting kicked out of the apprentice program. As a favor to Luna, Alex’s own apprentice and Anne’s best friend, he checks in on her only to be told to leave her alone.
Then Anne gets kidnapped. The Council Keepers of the Order of the Star believe Dark mages from her past may be involved. Working with the Keepers, Alex and Luna discover that Anne has been taken into the shadow realm of Sagash, her former Dark mage mentor, and they must find a way to rescue her.
But another shadow from the past has resurfaced—Alex’s former master may be back in London, and Alex has no idea what his agenda is…

Thanks so much for visiting fuonlyknew!
You can find a list of my reviews HERE.
I’ve always wanted to start this series! I love the red cover and the last one😁
I have all the paperbacks and the red one is the theme I own. I’m drawn to that last one too.
Great excerpt! I love the cover at the top. Here’s mine: “RACHEL TO THE RESCUE”
Sounds really good I’ll have to add it to my list.
I think it’s really neat how you added in the different covers for “Hidden”. I really like the light green cover on the left. But I also like the rock band vibes the German (?) version gives off.
LOL Challenge accepted! 😀 Happy weekend!
I’m going to have to look for this one! Sounds good!
