In den letzten zwei Monaten haben einige neue Bücher ihren Weg zu mir gefunden,
die ich euch heute vorstellen möchte:
Eigentlich will Diana, Tochter der Amazonenkönigin, nur eines: das Rennen gewinnen, in dem sie gegen die schnellsten Läuferinnen der Insel antreten muss. Doch dann erblickt sie am Horizont ein untergehendes Schiff und bewahrt Alia, ein gleichaltriges Mädchen, vor dem Tod. Doch wie Diana vom Orakel erfährt, ist es Alias Bestimmung, die Welt ins Unglück zu stürzen und Krieg über die Menschheit zu bringen. Um dies zu verhindern, reist Diana mit Alia ins ferne New York – und wird unversehens mit einer Welt und Gefahren konfrontiert, die sie bislang nicht kannte ...
"Wonder Woman" habe ich Dank Vorablesen bekommen und auch schon gelesen & rezensiert.
Die Rezension dazu findet ihr *hier*
Geld, Glamour, Luxus, Macht — all das könnte Ruby Bell nicht weniger interessieren. Seit sie ein Stipendium für das renommierte Maxton Hall College erhalten hat, versucht sie in erster Linie eins: ihren Mitschülern so wenig wie möglich aufzufallen. Vor allem von James Beaufort, dem heimlichen Anführer des Colleges, hält sie sich fern. Er ist zu arrogant, zu reich, zu attraktiv. Während Rubys größter Traum ein Studium in Oxford ist, scheint er nur für die nächste Party zu leben. Doch dann findet Ruby etwas heraus, was sonst niemand weiß — etwas, was den Ruf von James‘ Familie zerstören würde, sollte es an die Öffentlichkeit geraten. Plötzlich weiß James genau, wer sie ist. Und obwohl sie niemals Teil seiner Welt sein wollte, lassen ihr James — und ihr Herz — schon bald keine andere Wahl …
"Save Me" von Mona Kasten wurde mir netterweise vom Bastei Lübbe / LYX Verlag zugeschickt.
Das Buch hört sich wirklich super an und erinnert mich - warum auch immer - an Paper Princess von Erin Watt xD
Dieses Buch stand schon länger auf meiner Wunschliste und wurde mir netterweise vom HarperCollins Verlag zur Verfügung gestellt. Hört sich richtig spannend an, findest du nicht auch?
Kurzbeschreibung:
Auf den letzten Teil der "Angelfall"-Trilogie bin ich sehr gespannt, aber auch etwas traurig, dass die Trilogie nun zu Ende ist...
Danke an die Verlagsgruppe Random House für die Bereitstellung dieses Rezensionsexemplares!
And Cardan is even more beautiful than the rest. I hate him more than all the others. I hate him so much that sometimes when I look at him, I can hardly breathe.
Jude was seven years old when her parents were murdered and she and her two sisters were stolen away to live in the treacherous High Court of Faerie. Ten years later, Jude wants nothing more than to belong there, despite her mortality. But many of the fey despise humans. Especially Prince Cardan, the youngest and wickedest son of the High King.
To win a place at the Court, she must defy him–and face the consequences.
In doing so, she becomes embroiled in palace intrigues and deceptions, discovering her own capacity for bloodshed. But as civil war threatens to drown the Courts of Faerie in violence, Jude will need to risk her life in a dangerous alliance to save her sisters, and Faerie itself.
"The Cruel Prince" von Holly Black stand von Anfang an auf meiner Wunschliste. Toller und interessanter Inhalt und wunderschönes Cover! Bin jetzt am Ende des Buches angelangt und WOW! Das Buch ist der Hammer und ich kanns nur empfehlen.

Die ersten beiden Teile der "Frostblood Saga" durften ebenfalls bei mir einziehen.
Wollte die Trilogie erst auf Deutsch anfangen, habe mich dann jedoch umentschieden, da mir die Cover der englischen Ausgaben etwas besser gefallen xD
Elle knows she lives a life of privilege. As the governor's daughter, she can open doors with her name alone. But the expectations and pressure to be someone she isn't may be too much to handle. She wants to follow her own path, whatever that means.
When Drix and Elle meet, their connection is immediate, but so are their problems. Drix is not the type of boy Elle's parents have in mind for her, and Elle is not the kind of girl who can understand Drix's messy life.
But sometimes love can breach all barriers.
Fighting against a society that can't imagine them together, Drix and Elle must push themselves--Drix to confront the truth of the robbery, and Elle to assert her independence--and each other to finally get what they deserve.
Kurzbeschreibung:
Seventeen-year-old Abby Turner’s summer isn’t going the way she’d planned. She has a not-so-secret but definitely unrequited crush on her best friend, Cooper. She hasn’t been able to manage her mother’s growing issues with anxiety. And now she’s been rejected from an art show because her work “has no heart.” So when she gets another opportunity to show her paintings Abby isn’t going to take any chances.Which is where the list comes in.
Abby gives herself one month to do ten things, ranging from face a fear (#3) to learn a stranger’s story (#5) to fall in love (#8). She knows that if she can complete the list she’ll become the kind of artist she’s always dreamed of being. But as the deadline approaches, Abby realizes that getting through the list isn’t as straightforward as it seems… and that maybe—just maybe—she can’t change her art if she isn’t first willing to change herself.
Sowohl Katie McGarry als auch Kasie West gehören zu meinen absoluten Lieblingsautorinnen.
Jedes Buch wird definitiv gekauft und gelesen! Ich freue mich schon sehr auf "Say you'll remember me" & "Love, Life and the List"...
Kurzbeschreibung:
In the kingdom of Sempera, time is currency—extracted from blood, bound to iron, and consumed to add time to one’s own lifespan. The rich aristocracy, like the Gerlings, tax the poor to the hilt, extending their own lives by centuries.No one resents the Gerlings more than Jules Ember. A decade ago, she and her father were servants at Everless, the Gerlings’ palatial estate, until a fateful accident forced them to flee in the dead of night. When Jules discovers that her father is dying, she knows that she must return to Everless to earn more time for him before she loses him forever.
But going back to Everless brings more danger—and temptation—than Jules could have ever imagined. Soon she’s caught in a tangle of violent secrets and finds her heart torn between two people she thought she’d never see again. Her decisions have the power to change her fate—and the fate of time itself.
Auch bei "Everless" habe ich mich dazu entschieden, die englische Ausgabe zu lesen.
Das Cover ist einfach zu schön!
