Illumicrate Unboxing | "From Beyond Death" YA October Box

 Ciao a tutti booklovers, oggi andiamo a spacchettare l'Illumicrate di ottobre, arrivatami qualche settimana fa. Siete pronti?

 BOOK OF THE MONTH: "THE WHISPERING DARK" BY KELLY ANDREWS

TRAMA:

Delaney Meyers-Petrov is tired of being seen as fragile just because she's Deaf. So when she's accepted into a prestigious program at Godbole University that trains students to slip between parallel worlds, she's excited for the chance to prove herself. But her semester gets off to a rocky start as she faces professors who won't accommodate her disability, and a pretentious upperclassman fascinated by Delaney's unusual talents.

Colton Price died when he was nine years old. Quite impossibly, he woke several weeks later at the feet of a green-eyed little girl. Now, twelve years later, Delaney Meyers-Petrov has stumbled back into his orbit, but Colton's been ordered to keep far away from the new girl... and the voices she hears calling to her from the shadows.

Delaney wants to keep her distance from Colton -- she seems to be the only person on campus who finds him more arrogant than charming -- yet after a Godbole student turns up dead, she and Colton are forced to form a tenuous alliance, plummeting down a rabbit-hole of deeply buried university secrets. But Delaney and Colton discover the cost of opening the doors between worlds when they find themselves up against something old and nameless, an enemy they need to destroy before it tears them -- and their forbidden partnership -- apart.

Recensione | A Mad Zombie Party di Gena Showalter

 Ciao a tutti booklovers, oggi concludiamo le recensioni della serie White Rabbit Chronicles con A Mad Zombie Party, quarto libro e spin-off.

SCHEMA:

1. Alice in Zombieland

2. Through the Zombie Glass

3. The Queen of Zombie Hearts

4. A Mad Zombie Party

SCHEDA TECNICA:

Nome: A Mad Zombie Party

Autore: Gena Showalter

Genere: Fantasy; Romance; Horror

Editore: Harlequin

TRAMA:

The battle rages on.


Ali Bell and Cole Holland's crew of zombie slayers thought they'd won the war against Anima Industries, the evil company responsible for capturing and experimenting on zombies in an effort to discover the secret to immortality. In the last epic clash, the slayers lost many of their crew and closest friends. But Frosty, the ice man himself, has not recovered from one casualty in particular—the love of his life, Kat Parker.

On the path to self-annihilation, Frosty receives a message from beyond—Kat's spirit returns, insisting he partner with rogue slayer Camilla Marks. Frosty will do anything for Kat. Except that. Camilla is the one who betrayed them all, leading to Kat's death.

But when Anima rises from the grave to become a force the slayers may not have the strength to overcome, Frosty, Camilla and all the slayers will have to work together to survive. And one broken slayer will learn that sometimes, the line between hate and attraction is blurred...and the road to redemption isn't through revenge, but in letting go of the past and grabbing hold of the future...

RECENSIONE:

Se mi conoscete bene, sapete quanto abbia pianto alla morte di Kat Parker, la nostra Miss Sunshine e migliore amica di Ali.

Ma non quanto Frosty. Il ragazzo è sulla via dell'autodistruzione quando lo spirito di Kat viene da oltre a chiedergli di essere partner, e di aiutare Camilla Marks, la slayer che pochi mesi prima li aveva traditi, portando alla morte di molti, tra cui proprio Kat.

Camilla è spezzata anch'essa, poiché lo aveva fatto per proteggere suo fratello dall'Anima Corps. I due iniziano su una strada brutta, ma piano piano impareranno a fidarsi l'uno dell'altra, portando Frosty a cominciare a pensare se Kat non fosse il passato, un bel passato, ma che il suo destino sia un altro. Con Milla. Tuttavia, l'Anima Corps ritorna (aridaje) e in grande stile.

Il mondo è in grave pericolo, e forse non basteranno gli slayer questa volta.

Quindi, riassumendo, tanto romance, tante lacrime, ma soprattutto tanta azione, per un finale esplosivo della serie.

Super-raccomandato!

Consigliato dai: 17 anni 

Rating: tre stelline e mezzo

Fairyloot Unboxing | "Sell My Soul" October YA Box

 Ciao a tutti booklovers, oggi andiamo a spacchettare la Fairyloot di ottobre, arrivatami giusto ieri. Siete pronti?

 BOOK OF THE MONTH: "ONE DARK WINDOW" BY RACHEL GILLIG

TRAMA:

Elspeth Spindle needs more than luck to stay safe in the eerie, mist-locked kingdom of Blunder—she needs a monster. She calls him the Nightmare, an ancient, mercurial spirit trapped in her head. He protects her. He keeps her secrets.

But nothing comes for free, especially magic.

When Elspeth meets a mysterious highwayman on the forest road, her life takes a drastic turn. Thrust into a world of shadow and deception, she joins a dangerous quest to cure Blunder from the dark magic infecting it. And the highwayman? He just so happens to be the King’s nephew, Captain of the most dangerous men in Blunder…and guilty of high treason.

Together they must gather twelve Providence Cards—the keys to the cure. But as the stakes heighten and their undeniable attraction intensifies, Elspeth is forced to face her darkest secret yet: the Nightmare is slowly taking over her mind. And she might not be able to stop him.

PRINCESS OF SOULS DI ALEXANDRA CHRISTO

TRAMA:

For sixteen years, Selestra Somniatis has been trapped in a castle on the Floating Mountain, preparing to take her mother’s place as King Seryth’s right hand. Tied by blood to steal souls for the immortal King of the Six Isles, the Somniatis Witch foretells the deaths of participants in the Festival of Predictions. To outrun your fate is to save your soul and steal the King’s immortality. But if you die, your soul is forfeit. And though thousands have tried, nobody has ever beaten death.

As a soldier in King Seryth’s army, Nox Laederic is an unlikely candidate for the Festival, but he has no plans to die at the hands of the King or his witches. His plan is more akin to violent revenge: steal the King’s immortality and kill the entirety of his court, starting with Selestra herself.

But when Selestra touches Nox in her very first prediction, she sees her own death alongside his--their fates are unmistakably intertwined, and Selestra is no longer safe in the only home she’s ever known. Nox and Selestra will have to enter a turbulent alliance in order to survive long enough to free the Six Isles from King Seryth’s clutches and escape the new fate that hunts them.

But with the country on the brink of a new world war--this time between the BioMaas swarm at CityHive and Daedalus's army at Megopolis, loyalties will be pushed to the brink, unlikely alliances will form and with them, betrayals. But the threat doesn't stop there, because the lifelikes are determined to access the program that will set every robot free, a task requiring both Eve and Ana, the girl she was created to replace. In the end, violent clashes and heartbreaking choices reveal the true heroes . . . and they may not be who you think they are.

3. Truel1f3

Editore: Oscar Mondadori

TRAMA:

In the wake of a climactic battle in the ruined city of Babel, two former best friends suddenly find themselves on opposite sides of the same quest. Eve is torn between the memories of the girl she was, and the synthetic she's discovered herself to be. Together with her lifelike siblings Mercy and Gabriel, Eve sets out to find the real Ana Monrova, whose DNA is the key to unlocking the supercomputer that will enable them to build an army of lifelikes. Meanwhile, Eve's best friend, Lemon, is coming to terms with a power that she has long denied--and that others want only to harness as a weapon. When she meets an intriguing boy named Grimm, he offers to lead her out of the horror-ridden landscape and to an enclave of other abnorms like herself. There, Lemon quickly finds a sense of belonging--and perhaps even love--among the other genetic deviates. But all is not what it seems, and with enemies and friends, heroes and villains wearing interchangeable faces, Lemon, too, will join the race to locate Ana Monrova before her former best friend can get to her.
