Jag gick igenom deras bokrea och spontanköpte lite smått och gott, mest för kul.
The Left Hand of God - Paul Hoffman
Beskrivning från Adlibris:
"Listen. The Sanctuary of the Redeemers is named after a damned lie for there is no redemption that goes on there and less sanctuary.The Sanctuary of the Redeemers: vast, desolate, hopeless. Where children endure brutal cruelty and violence in the name of the One True Faith.
Lost in the Sanctuarys huge maze of corridors is a boy: his age uncertain, his real name unknown. They call him Cale. He is strange and secretive, witty and charming and violent. But when he opens the wrong door at the wrong time he witnesses an act so horrible he must flee, or die.
The Redeemers will go to any lengths to get Cale back.
Not because of the secret he has discovered. But because of a more terrifying secret that lies undiscovered in himself."
Känns lite som en mörk Harry Potter möter sekt eller hur? Hoppas verkligen att den är spännande.
En Jedis Väg - Daniel Wallace
Beskrivning från Adlibris:
"Crafted as if lifted directly from the world of Star Wars, THE JEDI PATH reveals new dimensions of history and lore about the Jedi Order. Divided into four parts, marking the major ranks Jedi hold during their service, this manual explains the history and hierarchy of the Order; what the force is and how to wield it; and what Jedi must know-from the nuances of light saber combat, to the specifics of field equipment in order to take their place in galactic culture."
Jag erkänner, jag är lite av en Star Wars-nörd. Men bara lite, inte sådär överdrivet mycket att nära och kära börjar oroa sig. Inte än i alla fall. Hoppas jag.
White Forest - Adam McOmber
Beskrivning från Adlibris:
"Jane Silverlake lives with her father in a crumbling family estate on the edge of Hampstead Heath. Jane has a secret--an unexplainable and frightening gift that allows her to see the souls of man-made objects--and this talent isolates her from the outside world. She finds solace in her only companions, Madeline and Nathan, but as the friends come of age, their idyll is shattered by jealousies and by Nathan's interest in a cult led by Ariston Day, a charismatic mystic popular with London's elite.
A year later, Nathan has vanished, and the famed Inspector Vidocq arrives in London to untangle the events that led up to Nathan's disappearance. As a sinister truth emerges, Jane realizes she must discover the origins of her talent, and use it to find Nathan herself, before it's too late."
Alltså, tjejer med speciella förmågor. Jag är helt såld på sånt.
Gemsigns - Stephanie Saulter
Beskrivning från Adlibris:
"For years the human race suffered from a deadly Syndrome, but when a cure was found - in the form of genetically engineered human beings, gems - the line between survival and ethics was radically altered. Now the gems are fighting for their freedom, from the oppression of the companies that created them, and against the norms who see them as slaves. And a conference at which Dr Eli Walker has been commissioned to present his findings on the gems is the key to that freedom. But with the gemtech companies fighting to keep the gems enslaved, and the horrifying godgangs determined to rid the earth of these 'unholy' creations, the gems are up against forces that may just be too powerful to oppose."
Något annat jag är såld på är dödliga virus och apokalypser, det är inte något som jag läst så mycket om än men det är en boklig idé som jag verkligen gillar.
Brotherhood of Shades - Dawn Finch
Beskrivning från Adlibris:
"From the chaos of Dissolution rises a secret order, a Brotherhood formed to protect the world of the living from the world of the dead."
Det var ju inte så våldsamt informativt, men tänk er munkar med en mörk baksida. Känner att det börjar finnas ett tema på böckerna jag handlat...
Red Hill - Jamie McGuire
Beskrivning från Adlibris:
"When the world ends, can love survive? For Scarlet, raising her two daughters alone means fighting for tomorrow is an everyday battle. Nathan has a wife, but can't remember what it's like to be in love; only his young daughter Zoe makes coming home worthwhile. Miranda's biggest concern is whether her new VW Bug is big enough to carry her sister and their boyfriends on a weekend escape from college finals.
When reports of a widespread, deadly "outbreak" begin to surface, these ordinary people face extraordinary circumstances and suddenly their fates are intertwined. Recognizing they can't outrun the danger, Scarlet, Nathan, and Miranda desperately seek shelter at the same secluded ranch, Red Hill. Emotions run high while old and new relationships are tested in the face of a terrifying enemy--an enemy who no longer remembers what it's like to be human.
Set against the backdrop of a brilliantly realized apocalyptic world, love somehow finds a way to survive. But what happens when the one you'd die for becomes the one who could destroy you? "
Sa jag att det fanns ett tema på det jag köpt?
