Opening lines are hard - maybe writing a couple practice ones will help loosen things up!
I'll start:
"No matter how cold the water was, Jane knew the treasure would be worth it."

The hum of the lights buzzed behind his eyes, too sharp, too close, like bees trapped beneath his skin.
Someone’s voice, loud and laughing, hit him sideways, and the air turned heavy. #openingline #teaser #booksky

Its skin was sallow and its body stretched-looking, long and thin. But the worst was its eyes— pupil-less, milky white pearls. Eyes that somehow still stared Ariana down through the aquarium’s six-inch thick glass.
