Einen wunderschönen guten Morgen! Was könnte es besseres am Tag der Einheit geben, als ein paar neue Bücher, die aus Amerika zu uns rübergeschwappt kommen?
GENAU! NICHTS!
Dementsprechend gibt es jetzt hier englische Neuerscheinungen, die ich ausgegraben habe und schon ewig auf der Liste stehen habe! Denn sie klingen alle so wunderwundertoll und sehen auch noch so wunderschön aus!
Allerdings nehmen wir Fortsetzungen hier raus, denn sonst wären es wirklich viel zu viele Bücher geworden!
Also fangen wir doch gleich mit den ganzen Neuerscheinungen im englischen Raum an, völlig durcheinandergewürfelt, um der Zeit ein Schnippchen zu schlagen und wahlweise auch schon erschienen, damit man sie sofort kaufen kann!
Auf geht der Zug ins Neuerscheinungsland!
Blood Rose Rebellion von Rosalyn Eves – 28.03.2017
Sixteen-year-old Anna Arden is barred from society by a defect of blood. Though her family is part of the Luminate, powerful users of magic, she is Barren, unable to perform the simplest spells. Anna would do anything to belong. But her fate takes another course when, after inadvertently breaking her sister’s debutante spell—an important chance for a highborn young woman to show her prowess with magic—Anna finds herself exiled to her family’s once powerful but now crumbling native Hungary.
Her life might well be over.
In Hungary, Anna discovers that nothing is quite as it seems. Not the people around her, from her aloof cousin Noémi to the fierce and handsome Romani Gábor. Not the society she’s known all her life, for discontent with the Luminate is sweeping the land. And not her lack of magic. Isolated from the only world she cares about, Anna still can’t seem to stop herself from breaking spells.
As rebellion spreads across the region, Anna’s unique ability becomes the catalyst everyone is seeking. In the company of nobles, revolutionaries, and Romani, Anna must choose: deny her unique power and cling to the life she’s always wanted, or embrace her ability and change that world forever.
*räusper* HOW FREAKING COOL IS THAT?! Oh mein Gott, dieses Buch klingt wie der Himmel! Magie, eine neue Kultur (Ungarn! UNGARN! UNGARN!), die Protagonistin heißt Anna (Ich wollte schon immer mal ein Buch haben, in dem die Protagonistin wie ich heißt! DAS IST SOO COOL!), Rebellion, ein bisschen Liebe und natürlich die “Umkehrer-Magie”, die sie keine Magie wirken lässt, sondern die Magie anderer stoppen und brechen kann.
HOW FREAKING COOL IS THAT?! (Ich weiß, das sich mich wiederhole, aber es musste einfach mal gesagt sein!)
Und habt ihr dieses Cover gesehen? OH MEIN GOTT, diese roten Rosen, die langsam zu Asche werden…es ist sooo schön und hat jetzt schon eine Bedeutung und hach!
NEED IT! NOW!
Iron Cast von Destiny Soria – 11.10.2016
It’s Boston, 1919, and the Cast Iron club is packed. On stage, hemopaths—whose “afflicted” blood gives them the ability to create illusions through art—Corinne and Ada have been best friends ever since infamous gangster Johnny Dervish recruited them into his circle. By night they perform for Johnny’s crowds, and by day they con Boston’s elite. When a job goes wrong and Ada is imprisoned, she realizes how precarious their position is. After she escapes, two of the Cast Iron’s hires are shot, and Johnny disappears. With the law closing in, Corinne and Ada are forced to hunt for answers, even as betrayal faces them at every turn.
Das klingt alles so verdächtig nach coolem 20er Jahre Shit und Steampunk, dass es mir sofort und unwiderruflich ins Auge gesprungen ist! Und ich liebe es! (Also auch das Cover, das ist sooo wundervoll!)
Und es sind Gangster-Geschichten und Verhaftungen involviert, inklusive einer Art von Magie, wenn ich das richtig verstanden habe. Und zwei Freundinnen!
I am so excited!
Certain Dark Things von Silvia Moreno-Garcia – 25.10.2016
Welcome to Mexico City… An Oasis In A Sea Of Vampires…
Domingo, a lonely garbage-collecting street kid, is busy eeking out a living when a jaded vampire on the run swoops into his life.
Atl, the descendant of Aztec blood drinkers, must feast on the young to survive and Domingo looks especially tasty. Smart, beautiful, and dangerous, Atl needs to escape to South America, far from the rival narco-vampire clan pursuing her. Domingo is smitten.
Her plan doesn’t include developing any real attachment to Domingo. Hell, the only living creature she loves is her trusty Doberman. Little by little, Atl finds herself warming up to the scrappy young man and his effervescent charm.
And then there’s Ana, a cop who suddenly finds herself following a trail of corpses and winds up smack in the middle of vampire gang rivalries.
Vampires, humans, cops, and gangsters collide in the dark streets of Mexico City. Do Atl and Domingo even stand a chance of making it out alive?
Der letzte Satz hat mich sowas von gekillt! Vampire, Menschen, Cops und Gangster!
Und eine verdammte Badass-Vampirin, die ihren riesigen Dobermann liebt und natürlich nur aus rein kulinarischen Zwecken den Straßenjungen verspeist? Und sie ist quasi der Adel der Vampire?! I LOVE IT!
Ich habe ja seit Twilight eine konsequente Abneigung gegen Vampire, aber DAS hier könnte DER HEIßE SCHEISS WERDEN! Ich sags euch!
Dead Girls Society von Michelle Kry – 08.11.2016
You are cordially invited to participate in a game of thrills and dares. Tell no one, and come alone. If you dare.
Hope is sick of everyone treating her like she’s breakable. Sure, she has cystic fibrosis (basically really bad lungs), but she’s tired of being babied by her mom and her overprotective best friend, Ethan, not to mention worrying about paying for her expensive medication and how she’s going to afford college.And she’s bored with life in her run-down New Orleans suburb.
When an invitation arrives from a mysterious group that calls itself the Society, Hope jumps at the chance for some excitement. This could be her ticket out. All she has to do is complete a few dares and she just might win some real money.
But the Society isn’t all that it seems . . . and soon Hope finds that playing the game isn’t a choice—it’s a requirement.
Ich habe das Cover gesehen und meine Reaktion war ungelogen genau diese:
Und die weitere genau diese:
Und dann habe ich gesehen, worum es geht und es klingt sooo cool! Ein Geheimclub? Toter Mädchen? WHAT?!
Und dann passieren auch noch total unvorhersehbare und schockende Dinge?
Ich bin sowas von dabei!
Ivory and Bone von Julie Eshbaugh – 07.06.2016
Hunting, gathering, and keeping his family safe—that’s the life seventeen-year-old Kol knows. Then bold, enigmatic Mya arrives from the south with her family, and Kol is captivated. He wants her to like and trust him, but any hopes of impressing her are ruined when he makes a careless—and nearly grave—mistake. However, there’s something more to Mya’s cool disdain…a history wrought with loss that comes to light when another clan arrives. With them is Lo, an enemy from Mya’s past who Mya swears has ulterior motives.
As Kol gets to know Lo, tensions between Mya and Lo escalate until violence erupts. Faced with shattering losses, Kol is forced to question every person he’s trusted. One thing is for sure: this was a war that Mya or Lo—Kol doesn’t know which—had been planning all along.
Hierbei ist es mir einfach sowas von egal, um was es in diesem Buch geht, DENN (!)
- Ist das Cover eine Wucht und eine Schönheit, der man nicht widerstehen kann
- SPIELT ES IN DER STEINZEIT! Ja, ihr habt richtig gehört! Die motherfucking Steinzeit! Wie wundertastisch ist das denn? Ich sterbe, wenn ich das nicht sofort haben kann!
Braucht es noch mehr Gründe? Ich glaube nicht 😀
The Diabolic von S.J. Kincaid – 01.11.2016
A Diabolic is ruthless. A Diabolic is powerful. A Diabolic has a single task: Kill in order to protect the person you’ve been created for.
Nemesis is a Diabolic, a humanoid teenager created to protect a galactic senator’s daughter, Sidonia. The two have grown up side by side, but are in no way sisters. Nemesis is expected to give her life for Sidonia, and she would do so gladly. She would also take as many lives as necessary to keep Sidonia safe.
When the power-mad Emperor learns Sidonia’s father is participating in a rebellion, he summons Sidonia to the Galactic court. She is to serve as a hostage. Now, there is only one way for Nemesis to protect Sidonia. She must become her. Nemesis travels to the court disguised as Sidonia—a killing machine masquerading in a world of corrupt politicians and two-faced senators’ children. It’s a nest of vipers with threats on every side, but Nemesis must keep her true abilities a secret or risk everything.
As the Empire begins to fracture and rebellion looms closer, Nemesis learns there is something more to her than just deadly force. She finds a humanity truer than what she encounters from most humans. Amidst all the danger, action, and intrigue, her humanity just might be the thing that saves her life—and the empire.
Nachdem ich ja von Insignia – Die Weltenspieler von genau dieser Autorin mehr als nur begeistert war (Aaaaaah! WOW!) – ignoriert die Schreie aus dem Hintergrund, mein Fangirl ist ausgebüxt – und ich immer noch sauer auf den Goldmann-Verlag bin, weil sie es verdammt noch mal nicht weiterübersetzen, bin ich SOWAS VON GESPANNT auf ihren neuen Streich, den ich absolut vergöttern werde! Weiß ich schon jetzt!
Das klingt so wie Red Queen, aber ich VERDAMMT GUT UND IN DER ZUKUNFT UND MIT EINER PROTAGONISTIN, DIE AUSNAHMSWEISE MAL WAS DRAUFHAT!
Ich bin so pumped auf diese Geschichte! Postmann, ich beschwöre dich! Bringe es mir doch jetzt schon!
Three Dark Crowns von Kendare Blake – 20.09.2016
In every generation on the island of Fennbirn, a set of triplets is born: three queens, all equal heirs to the crown and each possessor of a coveted magic. Mirabella is a fierce elemental, able to spark hungry flames or vicious storms at the snap of her fingers. Katharine is a poisoner, one who can ingest the deadliest poisons without so much as a stomachache. Arsinoe, a naturalist, is said to have the ability to bloom the reddest rose and control the fiercest of lions.
But becoming the Queen Crowned isn’t solely a matter of royal birth. Each sister has to fight for it. And it’s not just a game of win or lose…it’s life or death. The night the sisters turn sixteen, the battle begins.
The last queen standing gets the crown.
*nochmal räusper, weil ich mir hier die Kehle rausschreie* I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!
Das klingt so unfassbar toll! Drei Königinnen mit total unterschiedlichen Fähigkeiten und sie müssen sich gegenseitig jagen und umbringen, weil nur die beste und letzte endgültig Königin wird! Wie cool ist das denn?!
Und die Fähigkeiten sind auch der Hammer! Elementarmagierin, die alle Elemente beherrschen kann, eine Gift-Expertin, die JEDES Gift wegstecken kann und eine Natur-Versessene Tierflüsterin, die Tiere und Pflanzen kontrollieren kann!
LET THE FIGHT BEGIN!
Ever the Hunted von Erin Summerill – 27.12.2016
Seventeen year-old Britta Flannery is at ease only in the woods with her dagger and bow. She spends her days tracking criminals alongside her father, a legendary bounty hunter—that is, until her father is murdered. The alleged killer is none other than Cohen Mackay, her father’s former apprentice. The only friend she’s ever known. The boy she once loved who broke her heart.
Carve the Mark von Veronica Roth – 17.01.2017
On a planet where violence and vengeance rule, in a galaxy where some are favored by fate, everyone develops a currentgift, a unique power meant to shape the future. While most benefit from their currentgifts, Akos and Cyra do not—their gifts make them vulnerable to others’ control. Can they reclaim their gifts, their fates, and their lives, and reset the balance of power in this world?
Cyra is the sister of the brutal tyrant who rules the Shotet people. Cyra’s currentgift gives her pain and power—something her brother exploits, using her to torture his enemies. But Cyra is much more than just a blade in her brother’s hand: she is resilient, quick on her feet, and smarter than he knows.
Akos is from the peace-loving nation of Thuvhe, and his loyalty to his family is limitless. Though protected by his unusual currentgift, once Akos and his brother are captured by enemy Shotet soldiers, Akos is desperate to get his brother out alive—no matter what the cost. When Akos is thrust into Cyra’s world, the enmity between their countries and families seems insurmountable. They must decide to help each other to survive—or to destroy one another.
Ich war ja von Veronica Roths Bestimmung so gar nicht angetan…aber jeder Autor verdient eine zweite Chance! So auch Frau Roth und bei diesem Cover kann man doch gar nicht anders, als ich auf dieses Buch zu freuen wie ein Honigkuchenpferd!
Natürlich klingt die Geschichte auch sooo wundervoll und durchdacht und zwei Außenseiter, die alles auf den Kopf stellen…hach!
NEED IT!
Strange the Dreamer von Laini Taylor – 28.03.2017
OH GOTT, ICH BRAUCHE ES JETZT!
Long May She Reign von Rhiannon Thomas – 21.02.2017
Freya was never meant to be queen. Twenty-third in line to the throne, she never dreamed of a life in the palace, and would much rather research in her laboratory than participate in the intrigues of the court. However, when an extravagant banquet turns deadly and the king and those closest to him are poisoned, Freya suddenly finds herself on the throne.
She may have escaped the massacre, but she is far from safe. The nobles don’t respect her, her councillors want to control her, and with the mystery of who killed the king still unsolved, she knows that a single mistake could cost her the kingdom—and her life.
Freya is determined to survive, and that means uncovering the murderers herself. Until then, she can’t trust anyone. Not her advisers. Not the king’s dashing and enigmatic illegitimate son. Not even her own father, who always wanted the best for her but also wanted more power for himself.
As Freya’s enemies close in and her loyalties are tested, she must decide if she is ready to rule and, if so, how far she is willing to go to keep the crown.
Tja, da hat die liebe Freya wohl wortwörtlich die Arschkarte gezogen. Da muss sie auf dem Thron sitzen, obwohl sie es niemals wollte und den Intrigen und Lügen des Courts widerstehen und sie durchschauen! Und gebrochene Versprechen, viele viele Feinde und eine Königin, die sich selbst beweisen muss!
I. LOVE. IT! (Und das Cover ist natürlich auch nicht zu verachten!)
Of Fire and Stars von Audrey Coulthurst – 22.11.2016
Betrothed since childhood to the prince of Mynaria, Princess Dennaleia has always known what her future holds. Her marriage will seal the alliance between Mynaria and her homeland, protecting her people from other hostile kingdoms. But Denna has a secret. She possesses an Affinity for fire—a dangerous gift for the future queen of a land where magic is forbidden.
Now Denna has to learn the ways of her new kingdom while trying to hide her growing magic. To make matters worse, she must learn to ride Mynaria’s formidable warhorses before her coronation—and her teacher is the person who intimidates her most, the prickly and unconventional Princess Amaranthine, sister of her betrothed.
When a shocking assassination leaves the kingdom reeling, Mare and Denna reluctantly join forces to search for the culprit. As the two work together, they discover there is more to one another than they thought—and soon their friendship is threatening to blossom into something more.
But with dangerous conflict brewing that makes the alliance more important than ever, acting on their feelings could be deadly. Forced to choose between their duty and their hearts, Mare and Denna must find a way to save their kingdoms—and each other.
Das hier! DAS HIER! Ist nicht nur das schönste Cover in der Geschichte von Märchengeschichten, sondern es dreht sich verdammt noch mal NICHT UM LIEBE! WIE SELTEN IST DAS BITTE!
Es dreht sich um die Freundschaft zwischen zwei Prinzessinnen! Und dass sie gegenseitig eine Freundschaft entwickeln, obwohl das so unwahrscheinlich wie sonst was ist!
Wie zwei Frauen zwei Königreiche retten! So eine Geschichte wollte ich schon immer mal lesen!
Heartless von Marissa Meyer – 08.11.2016
Long before she was the terror of Wonderland―the infamous Queen of Hearts―she was just a girl who wanted to fall in love.
Long before she was the terror of Wonderland, she was just a girl who wanted to fall in love. Catherine may be one of the most desired girls in Wonderland, and a favorite of the unmarried King of Hearts, but her interests lie elsewhere. A talented baker, all she wants is to open a shop with her best friend. But according to her mother, such a goal is unthinkable for the young woman who could be the next queen.
Then Cath meets Jest, the handsome and mysterious court joker. For the first time, she feels the pull of true attraction. At the risk of offending the king and infuriating her parents, she and Jest enter into an intense, secret courtship. Cath is determined to define her own destiny and fall in love on her terms. But in a land thriving with magic, madness, and monsters, fate has other plans.
So. Ich bin tot. Nach dieser Beschreibung möchte ich einfach nur schreien und mich im Kreis drehen und dann vor Emotionen zusammenbrechen!
Marissa Meyer schreibt einen neuen Roman! Und erzählt die Geschichte, wie die böse Herzkönigin eigentlich böse geworden ist! HOW FREAKING COOL!
Als absoluter Fan der Luna-Chroniken, MUSS ich dieses Buch haben, gerade weil es so wunderbar zu unseren deutschen Büchern passt! AUFGEPASST, WUNDERLAND! ICH KOMME!
The Reader von Traci Chee – 13.09.2016
Sefia knows what it means to survive. After her father is brutally murdered, she flees into the wilderness with her aunt Nin, who teaches her to hunt, track, and steal. But when Nin is kidnapped, leaving Sefia completely alone, none of her survival skills can help her discover where Nin’s been taken, or if she’s even alive. The only clue to both her aunt’s disappearance and her father’s murder is the odd rectangular object her father left behind, an object she comes to realize is a book—a marvelous item unheard of in her otherwise illiterate society. With the help of this book, and the aid of a mysterious stranger with dark secrets of his own, Sefia sets out to rescue her aunt and find out what really happened the day her father was killed—and punish the people responsible.
Und als Letztes möchte ich dieses Buch einfach noch erwähnen, weil es bei uns unter dem Titel “Ein Meer aus Tinte und Gold” auch schon bald erscheinen wird! AAAH!
Und wenn es ums Lesen geht und darum, dass man die Magie des Lesens…dann bin ich sofort dabei und frage sogar jetzt schon nach der Fortsetzung!
Und sie ist eine verdammte Survival Expertin! Was will man denn noch mehr?!
NEED IT! NOW! ODER AUCH SCHON VORGESTERN!
