Description

From New York Times bestselling author Kelly Andrew comes the first in a darkly romantic duology that explores disability, obsession, and the twisted limits of loyalty.Shea Parker has lived her entire life in the shadow of the Gravewood, an impassable forest that's cut off her town from the rest of the world. With resources limited and supplies scarce, Shea is forced to carefully ration her hearing aid batteries. When her stash runs out, she'll be left in the silence.Desperate, Shea turns to the only person who can help -- Oliver Lysander, the volatile leader of a vampiric gang that rules the Gravewood.The arrangement between Shea and Lysander starts off simply enough. She gives him her blood. He tracks down batteries. They don't cross any lines. They don't make it personal. But when Shea's best friend is lured into the Gravewood, her disappearance brings her older brother home from the frontlines. Asher Thorley is willing to do whatever it takes to find his sister, even if it means holding Shea's ugliest secrets over her head.Ever an opportunist, Lysander renegotiates the terms of their deal. If Asher takes out Lysander's vampire rival, Lysander will help him find his sister. And if Shea agrees to Turn, Lysander will give her a cure for her ailing mother. For the first time ever, Shea finds herself leaving home. Swallowed up in the dreamlike dark of the Gravewood and traveling in the company of killers, it isn't long before she risks becoming one herself.

Das kam überraschend

Das Buch fing sehr spannend an. In der Mitte zog sich, sodass ich dachte, okay, les ich fertig und dann zieht es aus. Doch die letzten 100Seiten haben die kurze Langweile rausgerissen und wow, vieles hab ich echt nicht kommen sehen. Ich bin so gespannt auf die Fortsetzung.

Ich weiß nicht. Anfangs hat mir das Buch sehr gut gefallen weil es sehr Fastpaced ist. Das fehlt mir im Fantasy Bereich in letzter Zeit. Aber durch die Erzählerperspektive, welche zwischen den beiden Hauptcharakteren wechselt, ist der Funke glaub ich nicht so ganz übergesprungen. Auch der Plottwist war irgendwie nicht unbedingt einer. Ich glaube als Einzelband hätte das Buch gut funktioniert, ich weiß nicht was im nächsten Band noch großartiges passieren sollte außer einer Wiederholung von allem was bisher passiert ist.
