Produktbeschreibung

View our feature on Eileen Rendahl's Don't Kill the Messenger. The first in a fantastic new paranormal series about a messenger from the supernatural underworld.

Melina Markowitz is a Messenger, a go-between for paranormal forces and supernatural creatures. Problem is, when a girl's a go-between, it's hard not to get caught in the middle...

When ninjas steal an envelope from Melina, her search leads her to a Taoist temple in Old Sacramento, where the priests seem to practice Zen and the art of mayhem. Melina learns from the handsome ER doctor (and vampire) who gave her the envelope that it contained talismans created by the priests to control Chinese vampires, who are attacking gang members to spark a street war.

Although he may look more like a surfer than a cop, Ted Goodnight is dead serious about investigating the surge in gang violence. At every turn he runs into Melina, a very attractive-and very mysterious-young woman. Can Melina enlist his help to battle something he doesn't even believe in without blowing her cover?

Wieso?

Was mir zunächst bei diesem Buch sehr gut gefallen hat ist eindeutig das Cover. Schön verspielt räkeln sich die Blätter um das Profil eines Kopfes, und sogar noch in einer dritten Ebene innerhalb der Kopfform wird ein Schauplatz des Buchs dargestellt. Leider muss ich aber auch sagen, dass das tatsächlich mein Highlight des gesamten Buchs war: in die Story bin ich irgendwie nicht so ganz reingekommen. Klar - die entstehende Freundschaft zwischen den beiden Hauptprotagonisten ist eine besondere Beziehung, die auch schön dargestellt ist, der Rest der Geschichte ist allerdings in meinen Augen etwas... speziell. Ich kann nach dem Lesen und eigehendem Grübeln leider immernoch nicht so ganz sagen, was denn nun die Message des Buches ist, bzw. warum das Ganze? Irgendwie war alles so unklar miteinander verwoben, dass man am Ende nicht weiß, wo man steht.
Jane Austen is a writer ruined by TV adaptation (before you all start writing letters, I know there are good ones). Despite two centuries of inclusion in the canon, there are still many (and I am afraid they are mostly men) who dismiss her as 'frivolous', 'saccharine' or 'unserious'. This means it is only worth continuing to discuss Austen with people if they either don't use any of the aforementioned adjectives or if, by the latter, they mean, she is one of the funniest writers in English (full stop). If you don't know this already, the first page of 'Persuasion' will convince you, and then her biting, satirical commentary on Georgian society will show you that far from reverently writing about it out of admiration, she irreverently lambasts it and its eccentric snobbish hierarchy (people who write her off will probably say John Oliver likes Trump because both wear suits). If you don't believe me (and even if you do), read her (and start with 'Persuasion') before you watch her.
