gehostet von The Story Siren

Letzte Woche war toll - büchertechnisch zumindest. Gleich zwei lang ersehnte Vorbestellungen sind bei mir eingetrudelt, dazu noch ein Rezensionsexemplar vom PAN-Verlag.


Ally Condie - Matched

Cassia has always trusted the Society to make the right choices for her: what to read, what to watch, what to believe. So when Xander's face appears on-screen at her Matching ceremony, Cassia knows with complete certainty that he is her ideal mate . . . until she sees Ky Markham's face flash for an instant before the screen fades to black.

The Society tells her it's a glitch, a rare malfunction, and that she should focus on the happy life she's destined to lead with Xander. But Cassia can't stop thinking about Ky, and as they slowly fall in love, Cassia begins to doubt the Society's infallibility and is faced with an impossible choice: between Xander and Ky, between the only life she's known and a path that no one else has dared to follow.


Jenny Downham - You Against Me
If someone hurts your sister and you're any kind of man, you seek revenge, right? If your brother's been accused of a terrible crime and you're the main witness, then you banish all doubt and defend him. Isn't that what families do? When Mikey's sister claims a boy assaulted her at a party, his world of work and girls begins to fall apart. When Ellie's brother is charged with the crime, but says he didn't do it, her world of revision, exams and fitting in at a new school begins to unravel. When Mikey and Ellie meet, two worlds collide. Brave and unflinching, this is a novel of extraordinary skillfulness and almost unbearable tension. It's a book about loyalty and the choices that come with it. But above all it's a book about love - for one's family and for another.


Melissa Fairchild - Weltenwanderer
„Ich muss ins Feenreich. Nur so kann ich der Sache ein Ende bereiten.“ Auf den ersten Blick könnte man Avi für einen ganz normalen Jungen halten. Was kaum jemand ahnt: Er ist der Thronfolger des Feenreiches, der in der Welt der Sterblichen untergetaucht ist, um mit seiner großen Liebe Hannah ein normales Leben führen zu können. Doch nun hat sein Erzfeind Kellen begonnen, die Mauer zwischen den Welten niederzureißen, um Menschen und Feen gleichermaßen zu unterwerfen. Die Prophezeiungen des Brückenorakels besagen, dass nur Avi ihn aufhalten kann – aber der Preis, den der Junge dafür zahlen muss, ist hoch …

Avis Geschichte geht weiter! Teil 1 hat mich nicht völlig überzeugt, umso mehr bin ich gespannt, wie Melissa Fairchild die Geschichte weiterentwickelt.
 

Herzlichen Dank an PAN!
