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
HEXED
The Sisters Of Witchdown #1
by Michael Alan Nelson
My 56
“Possessed? Okaay….” Olivia let the word hang in the air, not even attempting to mask her contempt.
I couldn’t choose between the two, so I’m sharing this one too.
“I just want to show you something. But to do it, I need a hair from your head.”

Synopsis
THE FIRST NOVEL BASED ON THE HEXED COMIC!
Luci Jenifer Inacio das Neves, Lucifer for short, isn’t your typical teenaged girl. She’s a thief who survives by stealing bad things from bad people in the magical and mystical underworld hidden beneath our own. So when a policeman’s daughter, Gina, is kidnapped by a force he can’t explain, Lucifer is the only one who has a chance at getting his daughter back.
With the unsolicited help of Gina’s friends, including Gina’s boyfriend David, Lucifer’s investigation leads to the unfortunate truth of the kidnapping. Gina was taken to an otherworldly dimension by a creature of unspeakable evil: one of the Seven Sisters of Witchdown. Against all odds, Lucifer must use every magical tool hidden in her trick bag to steal her way into the Shade and bring Gina back before the Sister sacrifices her for her own dark ends. But the closer Lucifer gets to Gina, the closer she gets to David. And David to her. Lucifer must risk her life by confronting demons, witches, and the cruel demigoddess controlling her destiny – all to save the one girl who stands in the way of Lucifer finally finding love

I won this from a giveaway on Tome Tender.
Thanks so much Beth!
I’d never heard of the comic book series and was so excited.
Recently I started reading comic books again and now I must check these out.

Hexed sounds really good. I hope the writing lives up to the blurb. You can find me at #23 and #24 on Freda’s linky. Happy reading!

It’s good so far and I don’t see that changing:)
I haven’t heard of it but it sounds like a good one! I’m adding it to my tbr. 🙂
Check out my 56 (With Book Beginnings).
I spotted it in a giveaway and it looked fun so I entered. And I won! LOL Liking it so far:)
I’m not sure I would’ve been able to choose either! Very curious about why the speaker needs the hair in the 2nd one. Enjoy! I’m not sure I’ve ever read a book based on a comic.
I wanted so bad to use the first sentence for that second one but it would have revealed who the speaker was and would have given it all away. LOL
Sounds like something good going on for page 56!
Check out my Friday 56
They gonna do voodoo or something?!
Happy weekend!
Something weirder!
Sounds good from this snippet.
I’m liking it and I don’t see that changing:)
Not my usual kind of read, but something about the premise is intriguing. Thanks for sharing…and for visiting my blog.
Me too!
This sounds like a really interesting book, and one that I might really enjoy.
I’m having fun with it:)

Thanks Amanda. I’m liking it:)
This is comics? Would never have thought based on the cover!
I know. It reads like a novel too. Lots to entertain and well done:)
I haven’t read comics in a long time. This sounds like such fun.
This is a book written from the comic book series. I want to read them now. LOL
Not normally a genre I read – but this sounds fun
It is fun. Liking it a lot:)
Different than my usual reads, but I enjoyed the snippets.
There were plenty to choose from. I’m having fun:)
Is it strange to admit that both these snippets had me laughing out loud? I would freak if anyone asked for a strand of my hair! Still though, I saw Hexed featured over at another blog a couple of weeks ago and it received a positive review! I do hope you enjoy it Laura 🙂
Oh, I’m enjoying it, Claudia. If you read the full context for those snippets you’d laugh even more.!
Awesome 56 I haven’t heard about this book but it looks and sounds freakin fantastic and right yo my alley. Thanks for stopping by my blog! 🙂
I’m almost finished and would definitely recommend it!
I like the sound of that!
It’s a goodie!
Wickedly good cover!!!
