Hello guys!

Ich weiß, dass ich eigentlich keine neuen Bücher kaufen wollte, bevor mein SUB wieder verringert wurde, aber ich habe einige Vorbestellungen bekommen, die ich schon vor Monaten gemacht habe und außerdem ein paar gratis ebooks bekommen und da kann ich natürlich auch nicht ‚Nein‘ sagen. Einige von den Büchern habe ich aber dafür schon wieder gelesen, wie zb. ‚The Immortal Rules‘ und ‚Das Geheimnis der Flamingofrau‘, sowie lese ich zurzeit ‚City of Lost Souls‘..

I know that I actually wanted to buy no new books before I’ve reduced again my number of unread books, but I’ve got some advance orders which I’ve already made months ago and moreover I also got some free ebooks and there I couldn’t say ‘NO’ of course. But I’ve already read some of the books for example ‚The Immortal Rules‘ and ‚Das Geheimnis der Flamingofrau‘, furthermore at the moment I’m reading ‚City of Lost Souls‘.

Mirabelle’s past is shrouded in secrecy, from her parents‘ tragic deaths to her guardians‘ half-truths about why she can’t return to her birthplace, Beau Rivage. Desperate to see the town, Mira runs away a week before her sixteenth birthday—and discovers a world she never could have imagined.
In Beau Rivage, nothing is what it seems—the strangely pale girl with a morbid interest in apples, the obnoxious playboy who’s a beast to everyone he meets, and the chivalrous guy who has a thing for damsels in distress. Here, fairy tales come to life, curses are awakened, and ancient stories are played out again and again.
But fairy tales aren’t pretty things, and they don’t always end in happily ever after. Mira has a role to play, a fairy tale destiny to embrace or resist. As she struggles to take control of her fate, Mira is drawn into the lives of two brothers with fairy tale curses of their own… brothers who share a dark secret. And she’ll find that love, just like fairy tales, can have sharp edges and hidden thorns. (Source: Goodreads.com)
