oder auch: Amazon und die unwiderstehlichen 0,89 Cent Bücher
Ich habe es schon einmal gesagt, bei den Preisen verdient da auch niemand mehr etwas dran – und je mehr dieser günstigen Bücher ich kaufe, desto mehr fällt mir auf, wie viele Bücher es nur noch als E-Books gibt. Ich versuche ja, mir nur die Bücher, die es nicht als Print-Ausgabe gibt, als Kindle Version zu kaufen (oder mir zumindest hinterher noch die Print-Ausgabe zu kaufen, wenn ich ein Buch einfach sofort haben wollte). Aber diese „nur als Kindle-Edition verfügbar“-Bücher, machen mir das ganz schön schwer… naja, gerade bin ich auch wieder dem Ganzen erlegen und habe mir ein paar neue Bücher gekauft:
Anglefall – Susan Ee
It’s been six weeks since angels of the apocalypse descended to demolish the modern world. Street gangs rule the day while fear and superstition rule the night. When warrior angels fly away with a helpless little girl, her seventeen-year-old sister Penryn will do anything to get her back.
Anything, including making a deal with an enemy angel.
Raffe is a warrior who lies broken and wingless on the street. After eons of fighting his own battles, he finds himself being rescued from a desperate situation by a half-starved teenage girl.
Traveling through a dark and twisted Northern California, they have only each other to rely on for survival. Together, they journey toward the angels’ stronghold in San Francisco where she’ll risk everything to rescue her sister and he’ll put himself at the mercy of his greatest enemies for the chance to be made whole again.
Brightest Kind of Darkness – P.T. Mitchelle
Nara Collins is an average sixteen-year-old, with one exception: every night she dreams the events of the following day. Due to an incident in her past, Nara avoids using her special gift to change fate…until she dreams a future she can’t ignore.
After Nara prevents a bombing at Blue Ridge High, her ability to see the future starts to fade, while people at school are suddenly being injured at an unusually high rate.
Grappling with her diminishing powers and the need to prevent another disaster, Nara meets Ethan Harris, a mysterious loner who seems to understand her better than anyone. Ethan and Nara forge an irresistible connection, but as their relationship heats up, so do her questions about his dark past.
Exiled – RaShelle Workman
Stubborn, sixteen-year-old Princess Venus of Kelari wants one thing, to become immortal, that is, until someone exiles her to Earth, kills her irrihunter and takes her family. Now she wants revenge.
First she’s got to get home. But before she can return to Kelari, the Gods have commanded her to help an arrogant boy named Michael find his soul mate. Only she doesn’t know the first thing about love.
Rather quickly, her inexperience with human emotion is obscured by other matters–alien-controlled psychotic teens that are out to kill her, and a government group that is set on capturing and dissecting her.
Worst of all, Venus will suffer a painful death-by-poisoning, thanks to Earth’s atmosphere, if she remains on the planet longer than one week. Still, Venus is a Princess and she’s got a plan. Surely, with her help, Michael will fall in love with a human.
But time is running out and Michael is falling for the wrong girl–her.
Ethereal – Addison Moore
Sixteen year-old, Skyla Messenger is a dead girl walking.
When her newly remarried mother moves the family to Paragon Island, to a house that is rumored to be haunted, Skyla finds refuge in Logan Oliver, a boy who shares her unique ability to read minds.
Skyla discovers Logan holds the answers to the questions she’s been looking for, but Logan’s reluctance to give her the knowledge she desires leaves her believing Logan has a few secrets of his own.
Skyla’s bloodlines may just be connected to the most powerful angelic beings that roam the earth, and the more she knows, the more danger she seems to be in.
Suddenly an entire faction of earthbound angels wants her dead, at least she still has Logan, or does she?
Blood Will Tell – Samantha Young
Eden is a Soul Eater. While that hasn’t meant much to her in the past, she’s pretty sure any minute now she’s going to go all „Carrie“ on her eleventh grade class.
Noah is an Ankh. As an immortal Warrior, his purpose in life is to hunt down and kill Soul Eaters.
Eden is Noah’s next assignment. Problem is… this is an assignment with a difference. Eden’s not your average, run of the mill, Soul Eater. Noah’s job? To test Eden for possible redemption.
It’s a risky business. Especially if Noah awakens Eden’s inner monster.
It would be kind of hard for Eden to listen to the angel on her shoulder when the devil on the other is telling her, her new best friend is a lying, scheming, immortal enemy…
….betrayal is such a bitch. So is Eden when you get on her bad side.

Wie hübsch sind bitte diese Cover (insbesondere die ersten drei)? Wenn die Bücher mir jetzt auch noch gefallen, muss ich noch mal eine intensive Suche starten – vielleicht gibt es die ja anderswo als Print-Ausgabe (nur weil die deutsche Amazon Seite sie nicht anbietet, heißt das ja nicht, dass es sie überhaupt nicht als richtige Bücher gibt).
Ich freue mich auf jeden Fall schon sehr auf’s Lesen – auch wenn ich da erst nächste Woche zu kommen werde. Ich kann’s kaum erwarten!
