Produktbeschreibung


Return to bestselling author Alexandra Ivy's new Magic for Hire series, where the witches of a small New Jersey bookstore discover a secret dormant for centuries--and one woman unlocks the passion of a solitary heart . . .
The Vampire Cabal meets only under the direst circumstances. But since Skye Claremont's coven proved wild magic has returned, the cabal has gathered in New York City to decide the fate of the powerful mages.
Skye doubts her oracular powers can help. After ten years indentured to a demon gang, paying off her father's gambling debts with visions, her freedom has come despite her weak abilities, not because of them. But when her father sends a text to demand a meeting, she doesn't need to read the future to know trouble will follow.
The demons want her to kidnap Micha, the reclusive, fearsome leader of the New Orleans vampire cabal. As if a low-voltage witch like her could succeed. But when Skye looks into Micha's eyes, she sees certain doom if she doesn't take him to their stronghold after all. Spellbound more by beauty and intrigue than magic, the vampire follows her into the dark of a demon cell. When the door slams behind them, they'll have to unravel the tangled threads of prophecy and politics that make the way forward immeasurably dangerous. But it's desire that could undo them both . . .

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.
