BLURB:

Enemies to best friends and now lovers.

Maddox Coulter.

Was my enemy. Now my best friend.

You know him... Popular jock, rich enough to buy a town and a modern day casanova with a dirty smirk.

He's every girl's wet dream. But he wants me.

Maddox needs me.

One night of untamed passion has us dangling over the edge of something dangerous and it could forever break us.

Our hearts are on the line.

Maddox is keeping secrets.

I vowed to never give up on him but I'm not sure he's the same man I fell in love with anymore.

I'm scared he'd leave my heart bleeding at his feet.

But worst, what if we go back to...

... hating each other?

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Lylah James lives somewhere in Canada. She is usually pretty busy but she uses all her spare time to write. If she is not studying, sleeping, writing or working – she can be found with her nose buried in a good romance book, preferably with a hot alpha male.

Writing is her passion. The voices in her head won’t stop and she believes they deserve to be heard and read. Lylah James writes about drool worthy and total alpha males, with strong and sweet heroines. She makes her readers cry – sob their eyes out, swoon, curse, rage and fall in love. Mostly known as the Queen of cliffhanger and the #evilauthorwithablacksoul, she likes to break her readers’ hearts and then mend them again.

''Đavo spava u detaljima. Svaki detalj je bitan.''

Strela Blaj je nestala.
Možda je ubijena.
Možda je oteta.
Možda je pobegla.
Cirkus je stigao u grad.

''Počeo je rat... A u ratu, nema živih. Preživelih možda, živih ne.''

Kako sve izgleda kada Đavo sedi na mestu zakona?
Šta se dešava kada Đavo svojim lažima zavodi publiku?
Cirkus je otvoren, kupite svoju kartu i zakoračite u veliki šator pun izvrnutih istina, razočarenja, tuge, lažnih dijagnoza, prevara, bolnih ljubavi, masnica i krvavih ožiljaka.
Udobno se smestite i pripremite dlanove za aplauze, Đavo ih obožava.
Hipnotisaće vas da ne vidite istinu, već njegovu predstavu.
Jer Đavolu je istina najveći neprijatelj, zbog toga i koristi makse.

''Duboko udahni i spremi se. U tvoj život dolazi cirkus. Taj cirkus je senzacionalan, atraktivan, privlačan, ali taj cirkus je farsa. Postoji samo dok ti aplaudiraš akrobatama. Bez tebe nema cirkusa. Znam da mu nećeš odoleti. Ne ljutim se, niti te krivim. Ljudi vole spektakl. Spektakl ti pruža beg od učmalog, dosadnog života. Ljudi vole magiju. Trenutke u kojima im zastaje dah. Cirkus će ti to pružiti. Nateraće te da poveruješ da su čuda moguća. Ne krivim te što sediš u publici. Hteo ili ne. Od cirkusa ne možeš pobeći. Smeh, muzika s razglasa... Sve i da ne zauzmeš svoje mesto, žamor koji dopire iz šatora naći će način da dođe do tebe. Ne bih da ti kvarim zabavu, ali budi oprezan. Taj grandiozni šator se klati čim zafijuče vetar.''

Glavne akrobate su na svojim mestima, dozvolite da vam ih predstavim.
Marine se sećate, dok je pravila planove o zasluženom odmoru sa Filipom... pozvali su je da se priključi timu jer je profajler potreban da se kockice slože. Putovanje se odlaže jer Cirkus ne može da čeka. Kao ni njena tačka, mlada nada zauzima svoju poziciju plesačice na trapezu. Naivno tražeći istinu upašće u vrtlog, srećom posoji jedna ruka koja će je uhvatiti i spasiti je od pada.

Sledeći je mađioničar, koji je, složićete se, važan deo svakog cirkusa. Zovu ga Kartaš jer najviše voli trikove sa kartama i uvek oduševi publiku, ali ni ostale akrobate ne ostavlja ravnodušnima. Taman kad pomisle da su već videli sve njegove trikove, on izvuče novog keca iz rukava.

Inspektor Jakovljević je pajac kog gotovo da i ne primećujete, međutim ponekad i pajac dobije glasan aplauz.
Sve zavisi od publike i njihove skeptičnosti.

Potom Sanja, žongler. Ona se igra sa onim što joj stave u ruke i ne razmišlja mnogo. Zapravo, ne razmišlja uopšte. Što i nije tako loše kada dođe vreme za istinu.

I upravnik Cirkusa... Zoran. Glavni klovn koji dolazi iz pakla.

Pet akrobata izvodi tačku sa jednim ciljem - da pronađu Strelu.
Neki žele da je pronađu zbog toga što su ljudi koji osećaju, dok drugi žele da je pronađu da speru ljagu sa cirkuskog imena zato što su čudoviša.

''Alisa u zemlji čuda... Kartaš je šeširdžija, Jakovljević je ona debela mačka, Sanja je čajnik, a direktor zla kraljica. Uprava je rupa... Rupa bez dna, u koju sam ja - Alisa, upala kad sam postala deo tima.''

Na kraju ona, zbog koje su se okupili na toj sceni... Strela.
Nekada Slavica. Napušteno dete pronađeno pored kontejnera. Odbačena.
Rasla je u domu za napuštenu decu, uvek čudakinja, uvek ona koja imitira druge, ona koja se ne uklapa. Nikada nije osetila toplinu, polako gubi poverenje u ljude, ali nikada nije izgubila nadu da će možda jednog dana biti srećna, da će ostvariti svoje snove. Uprkos svemu, svetlo u njoj nisu uspeli da ugase.
Jedna koverta joj daje izbor, izabrala je da pronađe svoje roditelje i to je odvodi u pakao. Od kriminala, do jednog plana u koji je naivno poverovala, preko pisanja knjiga... do agonije u Cirkusu... 

''Ja sam besna zver. Umesto da plešem i preskačem plamene obruče zarad zadovoljenja tuđih i bolesnih potreba, ja sam zver koja je omču oko vrata pregrizla i strgla. Pobegla sam iz cirkusa. Za mnom se traga. Za mnom će se tek tragati.
Reći će ti da sam opasna. To je laž. Opasna sam samo za one koji su me ranili.
Tvrdiće da ujedam. Istina. Samo one koji su me u cirkus doveli.
Kazaće da sam krvoločna. Nisam takva bila. Takvom su me napravili.
Na krv su me navikli.
Baš oni, koji su me stvorili.''

I besne zveri se smire kada osete ljubav.
Ognjen je probudio u njoj sve ono za šta je mislila da treba da ugasi, isključi, ubije, uništi.
Ljubav, osećanja i poverenje.
Neke ljubavi se dogode i traju.
Neke prođu kroz pakao, štite se, drže zajedno... ali plamen ume da bude toliko jak i da izazove opekotine trećeg stepena... tad ruke moraju da se puste. I dok se to dešava, dok se spojene, izgorele kože odlepljuju jedna od druge - đavolski boli.
Ali to Đavo i želi. Bol. To mu je hrana.

''Ne možeš na silu. Ni voleti ni preboleti.''

Dok gleda kako sve gori, Đavo je srećan. Uživa u aplauzu. Toliko je obuzet divljenjem da ne shvata da plamen može da zahvati i onog ko ga je izazvao.

''Đavola lako prepoznaš... Đavo uvek kaže da je Bog.''

Dalje od ovoga neću da vam otkrivam, kupite ulaznicu i saznajte sami šta se sve u ovom cirkusu dogodilo.
Sve nejasnoće objasniće vam Strela i Marina.
Mađioničar će da pomogne.
U ovom cirkusu, njegovi trikovi su me najviše osvojili.
Ja sam se na svoje mesto vraćala tri noći zaredom, iako sam povremeno puštala i suze zbog prašine sa scene koja mi je upadala u oči.
Vraćala sam se dok sve trikove nisam odgledala do kraja, jer svaki detalj je bitan.

''Dok posmatraš cirkus ne gledaš predstavu.
Gledaš sebe.
Ti si klovn koji te zasmejava.
Ti si plesačica na trapezu koja te oduševljava.''

Uživajte u magiji i saznajte gde vodi put kriminala, koliko krvi može da se prospe, koliko nevinih da nastrada za jedan aplauz.
Saznajte koliko prava ljubav može da istrpi i šta se dogodi kada opekotine na rukama zarastu. Mogu li opet da se spoje ili su ožiljci preduboki i više se ne uklapaju kao ranije?

''Život. Jebiga.''

5 zvezdica i prvi favorit u ovoj godini.

''Mislila sam - jedini način da krenem ka budućnosti jeste da se prošlosti osvetim. Nisam znala kolika je cena osvete Nisam slutila da je osveta skupa, da cenu ne plaća samo onaj kome se svetiš. Cenu osvete plaća i osvetnik. Oni kojima se svetiš, plaćaju odmah. Osvetnik... plaća je na rate. Doživotno. U početku, taj trošak ne osetiš.
Osetiš tek kad sve izgubiš.''

''Svaki čovek ima tu ulicu u koju više ne zalazi. Taj zabranjeni, veći od srca, komad planete, koji više ne posećuje. Tačku gde tuđa sreća i lična nesreća dišu kao jedno, gordo prkoseći zaboravu. U koji nesvesne prolaznosti, sve dublje i dublje tonu.''

Bet O’Liri - Zajedno u stanu

Izdavač - LAGUNA

Bet O’Liri - ZAJEDNO U STANU

“Mozak ume da čini čuda kako bi se zaštitio od bola. Ali teško će dugo čuvati tajne od ostatka tebe. Da li ti se to već dešavalo? Taj osećaj da se sećaš drugačije verzije događaja ili da ti ono što je bilo izgleda drugačije?”

Tifi je u potrazi za stanom nakon što je bivši dečko prevario. Ali radi u izdavačkoj kući i ne zarađuje mnogo tako da joj je izbor znatno sužen.
Leonu je s druge strane potreban novac da pomogne bratu koji je u zatvoru. On je bolničar i radi noćne smene od devet do šest.
Tako donosi odluku da deli stan i krevet sa nekim ko radi normalne dnevne smene.
Gotovo da se neće ni viđati, a vikende svakako provodi kod svoje devojke.
Tako njih dvoje završavaju zajedno u stanu i dopisivanje preko ceduljica počinje - od podsetnika da se spušta daska na wc šolji do mnogih drugih tema.

“Kada ste oboje fini ne postoji otirač.”
“Otirač?”
“Niko ne gazi ni po kome.”

Igrom sudbine Tifi ima drugaricu koja je advokat i koja bi možda mogla da pomogne Leonovom bratu.
Leon ima pacijenta koji plete predivne šalove i koji može da pomogne Tifi oko knjige koja se priprema u izdavačkoj kući.
Takođe, tu je i devojčica Holi koja se bori sa leukemijom i koja primećuje da se Leon promenio od kada ima cimerku koju još nije ni upoznao.
A nakon par meseci bez ijednog susreta... Leon i Tifi se konačno sreću... u kupatilu.

“S nekim ljudima mi je prosto ugodno. Takvih nema mnogo.”

I da, tako shvataju da se nešto među njima dešava.
Samo što Džastin pokušava da pronađe način da se polako vraća u Tifin život, dok je Leon u vezi koja je već na staklenom nogama.

“Verovatno ne znate šta osećate prema nekome dok taj ne pristane da se uda za drugog.”

Meni je ovo bio skroz simpatičan čik-lit za ove zimske dane.
Veliki plus što se i ovde provlači priča o emotivnoj manipulaciji i psihičkom zlostavljanju, a opet to nije glavna tema.
Posebno mi se dopalo što možemo da pročitamo oba POV-a i da pratimo radnju sa obe strane.
Sporedni likovi su fenomenalni, toliko da ne mogu samo jednog da izvojim.
Od devojčice Holi, potom Gerti - direktne advokatice bez dlake na jeziku, pa Ričija - Leonovog brata koji pokušava da dokaže da je nevin, sve do gospodina Prajora koji plete predivne šalove.

“Ponekad nekoga ne možeš da spaseš kad ne želi da se spase.”

4,5 zvezdice.
