Kurz und schmerzlos diese Woche, mir fehlt ein bisschen die Zeit :-/

1. Sophie Jordan - Firelight
Hab ich gewonnen!! Ich bin immer noch ganz hin und weg. Ich gewinnen ja nicht oft was und wenn ist es normalerweise nicht grad ein Buch (!! das allein ist schon großartig, aber jetzt kommts ...), das ich auch noch lesen will (!!)!

A hidden truth.
Mortal enemies.
Doomed love. 

Marked as special at an early age, Jacinda knows her every move is watched. But she longs for freedom to make her own choices. When she breaks the most sacred tenet among her kind, she nearly pays with her life. Until a beautiful stranger saves her. A stranger who was sent to hunt those like her. For Jacinda is a draki—a descendant of dragons whose greatest defense is her secret ability to shift into human form.
Forced to flee into the mortal world with her family, Jacinda struggles to adapt to her new surroundings. The only bright light is Will. Gorgeous, elusive Will who stirs her inner draki to life. Although she is irresistibly drawn to him, Jacinda knows Will's dark secret: He and his family are hunters. She should avoid him at all costs. But her inner draki is slowly slipping away—if it dies she will be left as a human forever. She'll do anything to prevent that. Even if it means getting closer to her most dangerous enemy.
Mythical powers and breathtaking romance ignite in this story of a girl who defies all expectations and whose love crosses an ancient divide. 


2. Zach & Bauer - Morbus Dei: Die Ankunft

Ein einsames Bergdorf vor 300 Jahren: Von einem Schneesturm überrascht, verschlägt es den Deserteur Johann List in diese abgeschiedene, von Furcht und Aberglaube beherrschte Gegend. Schnell ist ihm klar, dass mit dem Dorf etwas nicht stimmt, dass ein düsterer Schatten über den Bewohnern liegt Tiere werden getötet, Menschen verschwinden, vermummte Gestalten lauern in den finsteren Wäldern.
Als Johann sich in die Tochter eines Bauern verliebt, beschließt er, mit ihr das Dorf zu verlassen. Doch noch bevor sie verschwinden können, eskaliert die Situation und ein Kampf auf Leben und Tod beginnt ...

Die Leseprobe ist schon gelesen und ich kann nur sagen: Was bin ich gespannt auf dieses Buch!

Herzlichen Dank an den Haymon Verlag! (hier in Innsbruck, könnt ich ja glatt mal rüberwinken ^^)

3. Cohn & Levithan - Nick & Norahs Infinite Playlist
Ich hab zwar Dash & Lily noch nicht gelesen, aber irgendwann mussten Nick & Norah ja sowieso kommen, warum dann nicht im Bücherkaufrausch, den ich letzte Woche hatte.

Nick’s just seen the girl who dumped him walk in with a new guy. What else can he do but ask the strange girl next to him to be his new girlfriend for the next five minutes.

Norah would do anything to avoid conversation with the not not-friend girl who dumped Nick…and to get over the Evil Ex whom Norah never really totally dumped. What else can she do but answer Nick’s question by making out with him?

With one electric, unexpected kiss, the five-minute couple of Nick and Norah set off on an uncharted adventure called the “first date” that will turn into an infinite night of falling in and out (and in and out, and maybe in and maybe out) of love. Theirs is a first date of music, laughter, heartache, confusion, passion, taxi driver wisdom, and a jacket named Salvatore. And of course a killer soundtrack.

As Nick and Norah wander through the middle-of-the-night mystic maze of Manhattan, they share the kind of night you want to never end, where every minute counts and every moment flickers between love and disaster.


4. Sarah MacLean - Ten Ways to be Adored When Landing a Lord
Das erste Buch, Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake, hat mir - dafür dass es ein Historical Romance ist - richtig gut gefallen. Da musste Band 2 natürlich her.

Since being named “London’s Lord to Land” by a popular ladies’ magazine, Nicholas St. John has been relentlessly pursued by every matrimony-minded female in the ton. So when an opportunity to escape fashionable society presents itself, he eagerly jumps—only to land in the path of the most determined, damnably delicious woman he’s ever met!
The daughter of a titled wastrel, Lady Isabel Townsend has too many secrets and too little money. Though she is used to taking care of herself quite handily, her father’s recent passing has left Isabel at sea and in need of outside help to protect her young brother’s birthright. The sinfully handsome, eminently eligible Lord Nicholas could be the very salvation she seeks.
But the lady must be wary and not do anything reckless and foolish…like falling madly, passionately in love.
