Autore: Kristina Mahr
Trama:
Every night, seventeen-year-old Reeve Lennox finds herself under a noose.

By day she is a lady of Acarsaid's royal house, daydreaming of adventure and love. But every night in sleep she wanders through a nightmarish city, an invisible witness to the screeches of monsters and the screams of their victims. Her only consolation is Bran, a battle-torn young man with a selfless heart and eyes that reflect the stars. 
Yet while Reeve falls deeper into her dreams, in truth she is engaged to Arden, a mercurial nobleman who has long been cured of his belief in love and breathes fire and flattery like other people breathe air.
Torn between two lives, Reeve struggles to remember what's real, until night and day collide, with a revelation that threatens all of Acarsaid.
Titolo: Broken Fate
Autore: Jennifer Derrick
Trama:
Zeus gave her one simple job: Kill every human. Atropos-daughter of Zeus and the third goddess of Fate from Greek mythology -spends her eternal life snipping human lifelines when their mortal lives are over. As if being a killer doesn't make life miserable enough, she and her Fate-wielding sisters must live amongst the humans on Earth thanks to a long-running feud between their mother and Zeus. Living on Earth means they must mingle with the mortals, attend the local high school, and attempt to fit in-or at least not stand out too much. 


Killing and mingling don't mix, which is why Atropos' number-one rule is to avoid all relationships with the humans. Caring for the people she has to kill is a fast track to insanity. However, when Alex Morgan walks into her first-period English class, she knows she's in for trouble. He's the worst kind of human for her to like-one with a rapidly approaching expiration date. And he makes Atropos want to break all the rules.

But something goes wrong and she survives the fall, landing in a place called Kaolin. She has heard tales about the humans there, and soon learns that the dangers her mothers warned her of are real. If Sera has any hope to return to her City, she’ll have to find the magic within herself to survive.

THINGS FINLEY HART DOESN’T WANT TO TALK ABOUT
• Her parents, who are having problems. (But they pretend like they’re not.)
• Being sent to her grandparents’ house for the summer.
• Never having met said grandparents.
• Her blue days—when life feels overwhelming, and it’s hard to keep her head up. (This happens a lot.)

Finley’s only retreat is the Everwood, a forest kingdom that exists in the pages of her notebook. Until she discovers the endless woods behind her grandparents’ house and realizes the Everwood is real--and holds more mysteries than she'd ever imagined, including a family of pirates that she isn’t allowed to talk to, trees covered in ash, and a strange old wizard living in a house made of bones.

With the help of her cousins, Finley sets out on a mission to save the dying Everwood and uncover its secrets. But as the mysteries pile up and the frightening sadness inside her grows, Finley realizes that if she wants to save the Everwood, she’ll first have to save herself.
Reality and fantasy collide in this powerful, heartfelt novel about family, depression, and the power of imagination.

Then Deirdre disappears.


And when something awful comes scratching at Skye's window in the middle of the night, claiming she's the only one who can save Deirdre, Skye knows she will stop at nothing to bring her sister home.

Londra, 1887. Dopo aver sepolto la zia zitella, Veronica Speedwell si ritrova orfana e libera di riprendere i suoi viaggi intorno al mondo per soddisfare le sue curiosità scientifiche--e gli occasionali sfizi romantici.

Ma il fato dimostra altri piani per lei quando Veronica sfugge a un tentato rapimento grazie all'aiuto di un enigmatico barone tedesco, che le offre rifugio presso il suo vecchio amico Stoker, uno solitario storico dal pessimo carattere. Ma prima che il barone possa rivelare quello che sa del complotto ordito ai suoi danni, viene ritrovato morto. Veronica e Stoker sono costretti a fuggire da un ignoto assalitore, diventando improbabili alleati alla ricerca della verità.
Titolo: Shadow Weaver

Il potere di controllare le ombre ha isolato Emmeline dal resto del mondo, ma è cresciuta imparando ad accettarlo, nascosta nella sua magione con Dar, la sua ombra nonché unica compagnia.
Il disastro si abbatte su di lei quando una famiglia nobile visita casa sua e si offre di portare via Emmeline per curarla dalla magia. Disperata al pensiero di perdere le sue ombre, si rivolge a Dar che le propone un patto: Dar cambierà idea agli aristocratici, se Emmeline la aiuterà a diventare di carne e ossa. Emmeline accetta ma la mattina dopo il capo della famiglia nobile viene trovato in coma, con i testimoni che affermano di aver visto vicino a lui una lunga ombra senza nessuno che la proiettasse. Spaventata dalla possibile punizione, Emmeline e Dar scappano.
Con le guardie alle calcagna, l'unica speranza di Emmeline per riabilitare il suo nome è quello di sfuggire alla cattura e compiere il rituale per liberare Dar. Ma Emmeline non è sicura di potersi ancora fidare di Dar, ed è difficile nascondere segreti da qualcuno che non può mai lasciare il tuo fianco.

Gli abitanti di Utzar hanno guardato a lungo verso il cielo con speranza e meraviglia. Niente nel loro mondo è più riverito degli uccelli predatori o più rispettato dei falconieri che li richiamano al loro polso.
Brysen sogna di diventare un grande falconiere, mentre sua sorella gemella Kylee rifiuta il suo antico dono e vorrebbe essere libera dalla falconeria. E ce l'avrebbe quasi fatta, se non fosse per la guerra che si fa sempre più vicina alla loro casa nei Sei Villaggi. Nessun uccello o falconiere sarà al sicuro.

Una popolana nata tra i servi, Agnes viene separata dalla sua famiglia e forzata a servire come apprendista per una lavandaia quando ha solo dieci anni.

Lasciata di nuovo senza un soldo, la sua unica scelta è quella di tornare a fare la serva nella magione che credeva di essersi lasciata alle spalle. Il suo nuovo compito è quello di fare da balia a Ella, la bambina più speciale. Agnes fatica ad amara la bimba che nel tempo diventa la sua figliastra e, successivamente, la celebrata principessa che incarna le irraggiungibili fantasie di tutti. La storia della loro relazione rivela che niente è come sembra, che la bellezza non è sempre un dono gradito e che l'amore può avere molte forme.

Kayla riesce malapena a immaginare di dover lasciare i confini della sua piccola cittadina.
Ma in Spagna, le due scoprono un segreto che le loro famiglie tengono loro nascosto dalla nascita. Forse le ragazze possono mettere da parte le loro differenze e lavorare insieme. O forse le bugie e i tradimenti finiranno con spingere loro e le loro famiglie sempre più lontano.

Nuovo appuntamento con la rubrica "English Books on my wishlist", che manca da un po' sul blog.
Titolo: The Surface Breaks
Autore: Louise O'Neill
Trama:
Deep beneath the sea, off the cold Irish coast, Gaia is a young mermaid who dreams of freedom from her controlling father. On her first swim to the surface, she is drawn towards a human boy. She longs to join his carefree world, but how much will she have to sacrifice? What will it take for the little mermaid to find her voice? Hans Christian Andersen's original fairy tale is reimagined through a searing feminist lens, with the stunning, scalpel-sharp writing and world building that has won Louise her legions of devoted fans. A book with the darkest of undercurrents, full of rage and rallying cries: storytelling at its most spellbinding.
Titolo: To Kill a Kingdom
Autore: Alexandra Christo 
Trama:
Princess Lira is siren royalty and the most lethal of them all. With the hearts of seventeen princes in her collection, she is revered across the sea. Until a twist of fate forces her to kill one of her own. To punish her daughter, the Sea Queen transforms Lira into the one thing they loathe most—a human. Robbed of her song, Lira has until the winter solstice to deliver Prince Elian’s heart to the Sea Queen or remain a human forever.

The ocean is the only place Prince Elian calls home, even though he is heir to the most powerful kingdom in the world. Hunting sirens is more than an unsavory hobby—it’s his calling. When he rescues a drowning woman in the ocean, she’s more than what she appears. She promises to help him find the key to destroying all of sirenkind for good—But can he trust her? And just how many deals will Elian have to barter to eliminate mankind’s greatest enemy? 
Titolo: Sea Witch
Autore: Sarah Henning
Trama:
Everyone knows what happens in the end.
A mermaid, a prince, a true love’s kiss.
But before that young siren’s tale, there were three friends.
One feared, one royal, and one already dead.
~~~~~~~~~~
Ever since her best friend, Anna, drowned, Evie has been an outcast in her small fishing town. A freak. A curse. A witch. 

A girl with an uncanny resemblance to Anna appears offshore and, though the girl denies it, Evie is convinced that her best friend actually survived. That her own magic wasn’t so powerless after all. And, as the two girls catch the eyes—and hearts—of two charming princes, Evie believes that she might finally have a chance at her own happily ever after.

But her new friend has secrets of her own. She can’t stay in Havnestad, or on two legs, unless Evie finds a way to help her. Now Evie will do anything to save her friend’s humanity, along with her prince’s heart—harnessing the power of her magic, her ocean, and her love until she discovers, too late, the truth of her bargain. 

The rise of Hans Christian Andersen’s iconic villainess is a heart-wrenching story of friendship, betrayal, and a girl pushed beyond her limits—to become a monster.

Buon sabato miei cari lettori!
So che ultimamente sto pubblicando meno post del solito, ma il mio maledetto blocco del lettore non accenna a passare, e il tempo per preparare post ultimamente è poco...pensate che sono addirittura più indietro del solito con le serie tv, tanto per farvi capire in che condizioni sono!
Comunque, oggi, nuovo appuntamento con la rubrica dedicata ai libri in lingua, con tre romanzi che sembrano davvero interessanti. Fatemi sapere se li avete già letti, o se fanno già parte della vostra wishlist :)

Titolo: All th Crooked Saints
Autore: Maggie Stiefvater

Trama:
Here is a thing everyone wants: a miracle.
Here is a thing everyone fears: what it takes to get one.

Any visitor to Bicho Raro, Colorado is likely to find a landscape of dark saints, forbidden love, scientific dreams, miracle-mad owls, estranged affections, one or two orphans, and a sky full of watchful desert stars.

At the heart of this place you will find the Soria family, who all have the ability to perform unusual miracles. And at the heart of this family are three cousins longing to change its future: Beatriz, the girl without feelings, who wants only to be free to examine her thoughts; Daniel, the Saint of Bicho Raro, who performs miracles for everyone but himself; and Joaquin, who spends his nights running a renegade radio station under the name Diablo Diablo.

They are all looking for a miracle. But the miracles of Bicho Raro are never quite what you expect.


Titolo: Shannon  Hale
Autore: Book of a thousand days

Trama:
When Dashti, a maid, and Lady Saren, her mistress, are shut in a tower for seven years because of Saren's refusal to marry a man she despises, the two prepare for a very long and dark imprisonment.

As food runs low and the days go from broiling hot to freezing cold, it is all Dashti can do to keep them fed and comfortable. With the arrival outside the tower of Saren's two suitors--one welcome, the other decidedly less so--the girls are confronted with both hope and great danger, and Dashti must make the desperate choices of a girl whose life is worth more than she knows.

With Shannon Hale's lyrical language, this little-known classic fairy tale from the Brothers Grimm is reimagined and reset on the central Asian steppes; it is a completely unique retelling filled with adventure and romance, drama and disguise.

Titolo: An enchantment of  ravens
Autore: Margaret Rogerson

Trama:
A skilled painter must stand up to the ancient power of the faerie courts—even as she falls in love with a faerie prince—in this gorgeous debut novel.

Isobel is a prodigy portrait artist with a dangerous set of clients: the sinister fair folk, immortal creatures who cannot bake bread, weave cloth, or put a pen to paper without crumbling to dust. They crave human Craft with a terrible thirst, and Isobel’s paintings are highly prized. But when she receives her first royal patron—Rook, the autumn prince—she makes a terrible mistake. She paints mortal sorrow in his eyes—a weakness that could cost him his life.

Furious and devastated, Rook spirits her away to the autumnlands to stand trial for her crime. Waylaid by the Wild Hunt’s ghostly hounds, the tainted influence of the Alder King, and hideous monsters risen from barrow mounds, Isobel and Rook depend on one another for survival. Their alliance blossoms into trust, then love—and that love violates the fair folks’ ruthless laws. Now both of their lives are forfeit, unless Isobel can use her skill as an artist to fight the fairy courts. Because secretly, her Craft represents a threat the fair folk have never faced in all the millennia of their unchanging lives: for the first time, her portraits have the power to make them feel.

Titolo: Autoboyography
Autore: Christina Lauren

 Trama:
Three years ago, Tanner Scott’s family relocated from California to Utah, a move that nudged the bisexual teen temporarily back into the closet. Now, with one semester of high school to go, and no obstacles between him and out-of-state college freedom, Tanner plans to coast through his remaining classes and clear out of Utah.

But when his best friend Autumn dares him to take Provo High’s prestigious Seminar—where honor roll students diligently toil to draft a book in a semester—Tanner can’t resist going against his better judgment and having a go, if only to prove to Autumn how silly the whole thing is. Writing a book in four months sounds simple. Four months is an eternity.

It turns out, Tanner is only partly right: four months is a long time. After all, it takes only one second for him to notice Sebastian Brother, the Mormon prodigy who sold his own Seminar novel the year before and who now mentors the class. And it takes less than a month for Tanner to fall completely in love with him.
Titolo: The Upside of Unrequited
Autore:  Becky Albertalli

Trama:
Seventeen-year-old Molly Peskin-Suso knows all about unrequited love—she’s lived through it twenty-six times. She crushes hard and crushes often, but always in secret. Because no matter how many times her twin sister, Cassie, tells her to woman up, Molly can’t stomach the idea of rejection. So she’s careful. Fat girls always have to be careful.

Then a cute new girl enters Cassie’s orbit, and for the first time ever, Molly’s cynical twin is a lovesick mess. Meanwhile, Molly’s totally not dying of loneliness—except for the part where she is. Luckily, Cassie’s new girlfriend comes with a cute hipster-boy sidekick. Will is funny and flirtatious and just might be perfect crush material. Maybe more than crush material. And if Molly can win him over, she’ll get her first kiss and she’ll get her twin back.

There’s only one problem: Molly’s coworker Reid. He’s an awkward Tolkien superfan with a season pass to the Ren Faire, and there’s absolutely no way Molly could fall for him. Right?

Titolo: One of us is lying
Autore: Karen M. McManus

But on Tuesday, he’d planned to post juicy reveals about all four of his high-profile classmates, which makes all four of them suspects in his murder. Or are they the perfect patsies for a killer who’s still on the loose?

Everyone has secrets, right? What really matters is how far you would go to protect them.
