Description

For two and a half years, Subject 684 --- “Jane Doe” --- has been locked underground in a secret government facility, enduring tests and torture. In that time, she hasn't uttered a single word. Not even her real name. Jane chooses to remain silent rather than risk losing control over the power within her. She alone knows what havoc her words can cause. Then the authorities put her in the care of the mysterious Landon Ward, and Jane is surprised when he treats her like a person rather than a prisoner. Ward's protective nature causes her resolve to crack in spite of her best efforts to resist. Just as Jane begins to trust him, though, a freak accident reveals the dangerous power she has concealed for years. It also reveals that the government has been keeping secrets of its own. Now Jane's ability is at the heart of a sinister plot for vengeance, and she has to decide whom she will trust ... and whom she will help. Well-known throughout her native Australia, Lynette Noni creates compelling stories that appeal to devoted fantasy fans and general-interest readers alike. This novel's extended metaphor about finding --- and controlling --- one's voice and power will resonate with teens attempting to do just that. The slow-simmering romance, richly imagined world and unexpected plot twists will hook readers from the very first page.

Inhalt: Wir werden Mitten in die Geschichte von Jane Doe geworfen. Doch als Leser weiss man von Anfang an eigentlich nichts, außer das sie seit geraumer Zeit in einer Art Anstalt ihr Dasein fristet. Alle weiteren Informationen bekommt man Seite für Seite langsam zugespielt, oder doch nicht? ;) und langsam setzt sich Sherlock Holmes mäßig das Puzzle zusammen, bis man merkt, dass man doch nur doctor watson war und alles noch viel viel verrückter und grösser ist, als man es sich vorstellen konnte! Auch wenn es mir anfangs nicht leicht gefallen ist, mich in ihre Situation hineinzuversetzen (wie auch?) wächst einem die Geschichte von Seite zu Seite immer mehr ans Herz, bis zum fulminant spannenden Schluss! Absolute Leseempfehlung! Einziges manko: mir persönlich ist das Cover doch ein bisschen zu sehr pink geworden ;)

This book was good to read. I didn't really knew what was coming, when I started the book but at the end I was amazed. At first I thought Jane was strange and stubborn because she wouldn't talk or she had a good reason. When the first hints came with her parents I knew she had killed them or thought she did so. So it was no big suprise when it was revealed later on. It was nie when she started to slowly open up to everybody, it must have been so hard to not interact with normal people for 2 1/2 year. Big respect she didn't get mad over the time. I loved the idea of the author about the speaking abilities and I want to read the next book as soon as possible. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.
