Ich habe mich ja wirklich zusammen gerissen keine weiteren neuen Bücher zu bekommen, aber was soll ich machen? … 3 sind es dann doch wieder geworden. *seufz*
Die ersten beiden habe ich schon gelesen, wobei sie mir beide gut gefallen haben. Nicht überragend, aber doch nett und schönes Lesevergnügen. Und dieses Mal habe ich auch mein erstes Rezensionsexemplar bekommen und zwar vom Arena Verlag – vielen Dank dafür!
I really have pulled myself together to get no new books, but what should I do? … however, I got again 3 new books. *sigh*
I’ve already read the first two books and I’ve liked them both. Not outstanding, but nice and a fine reading pleasure. And this time I‘ve also got my first reviewer’s copy namely from the Arena Verlag – many thanks for it!

Kristina McBride – One Moment
(eBook in English from netgalley)
.
.Synopsis:
This was supposed to be the best summer of Maggie’s life. Now it’s the one she’d do anything to forget…. Maggie Reynolds remembers hanging out at the gorge with her closest friends after a blowout party the night before. She remembers climbing the trail hand in hand with her perfect boyfriend, Joey. She remembers that last kiss, soft, lingering, and meant to reassure her. So why can’t she remember what happened in the moment before they were supposed to dive? Why was she left cowering at the top of the cliff, while Joey floated in the water below—dead? As Maggie’s memories return in snatches, nothing seems to make sense. Why was Joey acting so strangely at the party? Where did he go after taking her home? And if Joey was keeping these secrets, what else was he hiding? (Source: Goodreads.com)

(Hardcover in German from Arena Verlag)
.
.Synopsis:
‚Miss Amelia Hayes, welcome to The Land of Dreams. I am the staff trainer. I will call you grasshopper and you will call me sensei and I will give you the good oil. Right? And just so you know, I’m open to all kinds of bribery.‘
From the moment 15-year-old Amelia begins work on the checkout at Woolworths she is sunk, gone, lost…head-over-heels in love with Chris. Chris is the funny, charming, man-about-Woolies, but he’s 21, and the 6-year difference in their ages may as well be 100. Chris and Amelia talk about everything from Second Wave Feminism to Great Expectations and Alien but will he ever look at her in the way she wants him to? And if he does, will it be everything she hopes?

Inhaltsangabe:
Amelia hat immer das Gefühl, nirgendwo richtig dazuzugehören. In größeren Gruppen scheint sie mit der Wand zu verschmelzen. Chris dagegen gehört überall dazu. Charmant, gut aussehend, chaotisch und selbstbewusst steht er – egal wo – im Mittelpunkt. Als Amelia und Chris einander begegnen, scheint die Welt einen Moment lang stillzustehen … Und als sie sich wieder dreht, ist nichts mehr wie es war…

Myra McEntire – Hourglass # 1
(eBook in English)
.
.Synopsis:
For seventeen-year-old Emerson Cole, life is about seeing what isn’t there: swooning Southern Belles; soldiers long forgotten; a haunting jazz trio that vanishes in an instant. Plagued by phantoms since her parents‘ death, she just wants the apparitions to stop so she can be normal. She’s tried everything, but the visions keep coming back. So when her well-meaning brother brings in a consultant from a secretive organization called the Hourglass, Emerson’s willing to try one last cure. But meeting Michael Weaver may not only change her future, it may change her past.
Who is this dark, mysterious, sympathetic guy, barely older than Emerson herself, who seems to believe every crazy word she says? Why does an electric charge seem to run through the room whenever he’s around? And why is he so insistent that he needs her help to prevent a death that never should have happened?

.Inhaltsangabe:
Die 17-jährige Emerson Cole sieht Dinge, die niemand sonst sehen kann: Es sind Geister, Menschen aus einer anderen Zeit. Keiner konnte ihr bisher erklären warum. Erst als sie Michael Weaver kennenlernt, den attraktiven Experten einer mysteriösen Organisation namens „Hourglass“, scheint ihre Welt wieder Sinn zu ergeben. Nicht nur fühlt sie sich zu ihm hingezogen, sondern er eröffnet ihr, dass sie eine besondere Gabe besitzt – sie kann durch die Zeit reisen. Nur deshalb hat Michael sie aufgesucht, und nur deshalb schwebt sie bereits in größter Gefahr.
