Marisa Mejer - Bila jednom jedna…Crvena


Izdavač - Laguna
Recenzija za prvi deo BILA JEDNOM JEDNA...PEPELJASTA

"Skarlet je i ranije čula divlje vukove dok krstare ruralnim oblastima u potrazi za lakim plenom na farmama. Ali nikada se od vučjeg zavijanja nije toliko naježila."

Marisa Mejer nas u "Bila jednom jedna... Crvena" vodi dalje kroz svoj neverovatni futuristički svet u kom se zahuktava sukob između Zemljana i Lunara i u kom se već poznatim likovima pridružuju i neki novi.
U drugom delu Lunarskih hronika upoznajemo se sa odvažnom Skarlet Benoa koja se suočava sa otmicom svoje bake i opakom lunarskom "vojskom"... pa, vukova. Naravno, nije sve kako se čini te će Skarlet morati da razruši neke predrasude i napravi teške odluke. Tu je i Kapetan Karsvel Torn koji pravi društvo odbegloj Lin Pep i zasmejava čitaoce svojim stavom koji je sušta suprotnost Pepinoj sarkastičnoj prirodi.
 
"Kapetan uvek zna gde mu je brod. To je kao nekakva psihička veza." 
"Samo kad bismo još imali kapetana."

Kaj se politički sukobljava sa Levanom i pokušava da spreči nevolje koje se dešavaju širom Zemlje, a svoju ulogu reprizira i, uvek raspoložena Ajko koja ovog puta ima malo drugačije telo.

Čitava paleta različitih karaktera i događaja prožima ovaj roman, a ono što je svima zajedničko i za kim svim tragaju jeste Princeza Selena. Jedina koja je dovoljno jaka da se suprotstavi Levani. Ili je to bar njihova najveća nada...

Fransesk Miraljes - Ljubav malim slovima


Izdavač - Laguna
★ ★ ★ ★ ★

''Staru godinu delio je od nove samo tren. Eh, šta su sve izumeli ljudi da bi prodavali kalendare! Na kraju krajeva, sami smo proizvoljno odlučili kada počinju godine, meseci, čak i sati. Uredili smo svet po sopstvenoj meri, i sad smo mirni.
Možda se iza prividnog haosa kosmosa i krije neki red. Ali taj red svakako nije naš.''

Kada se Samuel probudi 1. januara, ne očekuje ništa posebno od Nove godine. Nada se istoj usamljenosti, svom istom sigurnom svetu punom knjiga i klasične muzike bez previše avantura.
Ali će mu u stan ušetati mačak Mišima koji neće želeti da ode i upravo će mu se zbog toga život pretvoriti u sve ono što nije mogao ni da sanja.

''Pretpostavljam da sam prestao da se družim s ljudima iz straha da ne zaradim još koje razočarenje.''

Od odvođenja Mišime kod veterinara, novog prijateljstva sa veterinarkom, a potom i sa neobičnim Valdemarom i komšijom Titusom, Samuel će sasvim slučajno prelazeći ulicu ugledati i ljubav iz svog detinjstva - Gabrijelu.
Potraga za njom, knjiga koja čeka da bude završena, briga o Mišemi, izlaženje novim prijateljima u susret... sve to menja Samuela i njegov pogled na svet.

''Svejedno je živimo li 650.000 ili šest i po sati. Sati ne služe ničemu ako ne znaš šta ćeš sa njima.''

Kafka, Goethe, Hese, Gable... Svi su oni deo ovog romana, kao uteha u samoći... Kao lampica u potpunom mraku.

''A ja sam bio jedan smešan satelit koji kruži oko nemogućeg sna.''

Odlična knjiga, posebno za ove hladne, zimske i depresivne dane, kad smo svi pomalo poput Samuela.
Malo misterije, malo ljubavi, malo prijateljstva, malo muzike i malo knjiga. Eto, tako se može preživeti.

''Mislim da sam u to vreme počeo da gradim ljušturu koja me otuđila od sveta. Od razočarenja se oko mog srca nataložio krečnjak, i postao sam neosetljiv koliko i on. Pretpostavljam da sam se povukao u sebe da bih se zaštitio od sveta koji mi se činio surovim. Ljubav se uči, a ja sam načisto nevičan u toj veštini.'' 


''S prezirom je lako, od prezira se kao od napada nagonski branimo. A šta da radimo kad nam neko otvoreno pokaže naklonost?''

COVER REVEAL:Thanos by Ella Frank


Series: Masters Among Monsters #3
Publication Date: January 26th, 2017
Genre: Paranormal Romance

CHARMED FOR LIFE?
Thanos Agapiou has always been a charmer. For over two millennia, the vampire had no problem acquiring whom and what he wanted with a flash of his handsome smile. He took for granted the boyish good looks he presumed he’d possess for the rest of eternity.
How very wrong he was.
A nearly fatal attack distorted his entire existence. With his appearance now matching the title many have bestowed their kind—monster—he hides away from the world and all of those who know him, including his Ancient, Eton.
Until one night when a stranger draws him out from the shadows.
OR CURSED FOR ETERNITY?
Ever since Paris Antoniou was thrust into a world of vampires, his reality has become stranger than the history and the myths he’s studied for the past decade.
When he learns the truth about his origins and the power he wields, his confusion and fear have him running for his life. What he doesn’t expect is to run into the arms of Thanos—a vampire who doesn’t intimidate him as much as he intrigues him.
WHAT HAS THE POWER TO MAKE YOU WANT TO SURVIVE?
As their worlds collide under extraordinary circumstances, an attraction neither can deny takes hold. But will that be enough to save Thanos from his demons, or will he condemn Paris to his fate?
Destinies have been changed. Lines have been crossed. And, with tales of the vampire race coming to an end, who will make the ultimate sacrifice?
After all, in a world run by vampires and gods, only one can be the true Master among the Monsters.

COVER REVEAL:Mack Daddy by Penelope Ward


MACK DADDY
(A standalone)
Release date:2/13/2017
A Contemporary Romance Novel
New York Times, USA Today and #1 Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author Penelope Ward

Synopsis
From New York Times bestselling author, Penelope Ward, comes a sexy, STANDALONE second-chance romance.
They called him Mack Daddy. No, seriously, his name was Mack. Short for Mackenzie. Thus, the nickname. Perfect, right?
So was he: perfect. The perfect physical male specimen.
At the private school where I taught, Mack Morrison was the only man around in a sea of women.
Everyone wanted a piece of the hot single father of the sweet little boy.
I was riddled with jealousy, because they didn’t know that—to me—he was much more.
They didn’t know about our past.
He’d chosen my school for his son on purpose, because Mack and I, we had unfinished business.
As my friend Lorelai so eloquently put it: “Unfinished business between two people who are clearly attracted to each other is like an eternal case of blue balls.” And I was suffering in pain from my case.
I was still intensely attracted to Mack. I tried to resist him, immersing myself further into a relationship with another man just to protect my heart.
Not to mention, getting involved with a parent was strictly against school rules. But seeing Mack day in and day out was breaking me down.
And soon I might be breaking all the rules.

Author's note – Told in alternating points of view, Mack Daddy is a full-length standalone novel.

COVER REVEAL:Tormentor mine by Anna Zaires


Coming March 28th, Tormentor Mine, a new dark romance from New York Times bestseller Anna Zaires!

He came to me in the night, a cruel, darkly handsome stranger from the most dangerous corners of Russia. He tormented me and destroyed me, ripping apart my world in his quest for vengeance.
Now he's back, but he’s no longer after my secrets.
The man who stars in my nightmares wants me.

 Read an Excerpt from Peter’s POV
“Are you going to kill me?”
She’s trying—and failing—to keep her voice steady. Still, I admire her attempt at composure. I approached her in public to make her feel safer, but she’s too smart to fall for that. If they’ve told her anything about my background, she must realize I can snap her neck faster than she can scream for help.
“No,” I answer, leaning closer as a louder song comes on. “I’m not going to kill you.”
“Then what do you want from me?”
She’s shaking in my hold, and something about that both intrigues and disturbs me. I don’t want her to be afraid of me, but at the same time, I like having her at my mercy. Her fear calls to the predator within me, turning my desire for her into something darker.
She’s captured prey, soft and sweet and mine to devour.
Bending my head, I bury my nose in her fragrant hair and murmur into her ear, “Meet me at the Starbucks near your house at noon tomorrow, and we’ll talk there. I’ll tell you whatever you want to know.”
I pull back, and she stares at me, her eyes huge in her pale face. I know what she’s thinking, so I lean in again, dipping my head so my mouth is next to her ear.
“If you contact the FBI, they’ll try to hide you from me. Just like they tried to hide your husband and the others on my list. They’ll uproot you, take you away from your parents and your career, and it will all be for nothing. I’ll find you, no matter where you go, Sara… no matter what they do to keep you from me.” My lips brush against the rim of her ear, and I feel her breath hitch. “Alternatively, they might want to use you as bait. If that’s the case—if they set a trap for me—I’ll know, and our next meeting won’t be over coffee.”
She shudders, and I drag in a deep breath, inhaling her delicate scent one last time before releasing her.
Stepping back, I melt into the crowd and message Anton to get the crew into positions.
I have to make sure she gets home safe and sound, unmolested by anyone but me.
