Il suo Dono è un segreto che per tutta la vita ha cercato di tenere nascosto al mondo, e in particolare a suo zio, re Rand. Ma ora le cose stanno per Katje dovrà scegliere se inchinarsi davanti al sovrano più vendicativo dei Sette Regni, o fuggire insieme a un Graceling dallo sguardo intenso, che sembra conoscerla fin troppo bene�� FireAl di là dei Sette Regni vivono creature dalla bellezza mozzafiato, capaci di ammaliare gli uomini e di prendere possesso delle loro menti.

Cruella De Vil is the perfect villain: stylish, witty, relentless...and possibly cursed.

From her lonely childhood, to her iconic fashion choices, to that fateful car crash (you know the one), Cruella tells all in this marvelous memoir of a woman doomed. Even the cruelest villains have best friends, true loves, and daring dreams. Now it's Cruella's turn to share hers.

This latest novel by the author of the wildly popular and darkly fascinating Villains series brings readers a tale told by the Evil Thing herself-a tale of the complicated bonds of female friendship, of mothers and daughters, and of burning, destructive desire.

]]> 60149524 Witness what the gods do after dark in the third volume of a stylish and contemporary reimagining of one of the best-known stories in Greek mythology, featuring a brand-new, exclusive short story from creator Rachel Smythe.

"It is natural for a King to be curious about his future Queen. . . ."

All of Olympus--and the Underworld--are talking about the God of the Dead and the sprightly daughter of Demeter. But despite the rumors of their romance, Hades and Persephone have plenty to navigate on their own.

Since coming to Olympus, Persephone has struggled to be the perfect maiden goddess. Her attraction to Hades has only complicated the intense burden of the gods' expectations. And after Apollo's assault, Persephone fears she can no longer bury the intense feelings of hurt and love that she's worked so hard to hide.

As Persephone contemplates her future, Hades struggles with his past, falling back into toxic habits in Minthe's easy embrace. With all the mounting pressure and expectations--of their family, friends, and enemies--both Hades and Persephone tell themselves to deny their deepest desires, but the pull between them is too tempting, too magnetic. It's fate.

This full-color edition of Smythe's original Eisner-nominated webcomic Lore Olympus brings Greek mythology into the modern age in a sharply perceptive and romantic graphic novel.

This volume collects episodes 50-75 of the #1 WEBTOON comic Lore Olympus.]]> 384 Rachel Smythe 0593160312 Ciancii ✨️ 4 4.47 2022

]]> 60420293 Regency housemaid Euphemia Reeves has acquired a faerie godfather. Unfortunately, he has no idea what he's doing.

Effie has most inconveniently fallen in love with the dashing Mr Benedict Ashbrooke. There's only one problem; Effie is a housemaid, and a housemaid cannot marry a gentleman. It seems that Effie is out of luck until she stumbles into the faerie realm of Lord Blackthorn, who is only too eager to help Effie win Mr Ashbrooke's heart. All he asks in return is that Effie sew ten thousand stitches onto his favourite jacket.

Effie has heard rumours about what happens to those who accept help from faeries, but life as a maid at Hartfield is so awful that she is willing to risk even her immortal soul for a chance at something better. Now, she has one hundred days - and ten thousand stitches - to make Mr Ashbrooke fall in love and propose. . . if Lord Blackthorn doesn't wreck things by accident, that is. For Effie's greatest obstacle might well prove to be Lord Blackthorn's overwhelmingly good intentions.

From the author of HALF A SOUL comes a whimsical fantasy romance with a Cinderella twist. Pick up TEN THOUSAND STITCHES, and dive into another enchanting faerie tale set in Olivia Atwater's charming, magical version of Regency England!]]> 288 Olivia Atwater 031646290X Ciancii ✨️ 0 to-be-read 3.90 2020

]]> 60717747 It's difficult to find a husband in Regency England when you're a young lady with only half a soul.

Ever since she was cursed by a faerie, Theodora Ettings has had no sense of fear or embarrassment - a condition which makes her prone to accidental scandal. Dora hopes to be a quiet, sensible wallflower during the London Season - but when the strange, handsome and utterly uncouth Lord Sorcier discovers her condition, she is instead drawn into dangerous and peculiar faerie affairs.

If Dora's reputation can survive both her curse and her sudden connection with the least-liked man in all of high society, then she may yet reclaim her normal place in the world. . . but the longer Dora spends with Elias Wilder, the more she begins to suspect that one may indeed fall in love, even with only half a soul.

Bridgerton meets Howl's Moving Castle in this enchanting historical fantasy, where the only thing more meddlesome than faeries is a marriage-minded mother.

Misery Lark, the only daughter of the most powerful Vampyre councilman of the Southwest, is an outcast—again. Her days of living in anonymity among the Humans are over: she has been called upon to uphold a historic peacekeeping alliance between the Vampyres and their mortal enemies, the Weres, and she sees little choice but to surrender herself in the exchange—again...

Weres are ruthless and unpredictable, and their Alpha, Lowe Moreland, is no exception. He rules his pack with absolute authority, but not without justice. And, unlike the Vampyre Council, not without feeling. It’s clear from the way he tracks Misery’s every movement that he doesn’t trust her. If only he knew how right he was��.

Because Misery has her own reasons to agree to this marriage of convenience, reasons that have nothing to do with politics or alliances, and everything to do with the only thing she's ever cared about. And she is willing to do whatever it takes to get back what’s hers, even if it means a life alone in Were territory…alone with the wolf.]]> 410 Ali Hazelwood Ciancii ✨️ 5

“You have no authority here.��

Revelations rock Olympus as Persephone’s trial ends, threatening to throw the gods into a new war.

Though Persephone and Hades become closer than ever after she opens up to him about all she has endured, their peace is shattered when another truth is revealed: Apollo is Zeus’s son. The announcement shocks the pantheon, and the king of the gods realizes that the would-be usurper wants Persephone’s power to take the throne.

Zeus banishes Persephone to the Mortal Realm and, out of fear, cuts it off entirely from the rest of the gods. This decree succeeds in undercutting Apollo’s plan, but also inadvertently begins a decade-long divine cold war when Hades strikes back by shuttering the Underworld. With the gods scattered and weakened, Kronos uses the ensuing bedlam to finally escape his imprisonment and begin staging his own coup.

Persephone has only one choice when she discovers all the realms on the verge of collapse: Descend into the Underworld to try to defeat the power-hungry Titan, claim her rightful place as queen, and reunite with her one true love.

“We have to make an example of her.��

Chaos reigns in Olympus as Zeus publicly declares Persephone a traitor and issues a warrant for her arrest. But Hades defies his brother’s decree, sheltering Persephone in the Underworld—and as the pair spend more time together, they are able to speak openly about their pasts. The goddess of spring admits the truth behind the bloody secret that led to Zeus’s ire, and the king of the Underworld shares the trauma he suffered at the hands of his power-hungry father, Kronos.

But as Hades and Persephone’s relationship grows stronger, others begin to fall apart. The bond between Hades and Zeus is stretched to its limit, threatening to fracture the peace between their realms. Persephone and Artemis’s friendship hangs by a thread as the goddess of the hunt slowly uncovers the vile truth about her twin, Apollo. A line is being drawn in the heavens, putting everyone’s loyalties into question as all the gods are forced to choose sides.

And as the cracks in the foundation of the pantheon spread, something darker and more earth-shattering might soon be released. . . .

"I don't always get to do as I please."

The rumor mill of Olympus is constantly churning, but Persephone and Hades are all anyone can talk about. With the constant gossip creating intense pressure on the pair, they decide to slow down their budding romance and focus on sorting out their own issues first.

But that's easier said than done.

Hades struggles to find support in his personal life, with Zeus trivializing his feelings and Minthe resorting to abusive patterns in their relationship. And while Hades tries to create healthier boundaries where he can--like finally putting a stop to his sporadic, revenge-fueled hookups with Hera--he still feels lonely and adrift.

Persephone feels equally ostracized as her classmates shun her for her connection to Hades, and she can find no refuge at home, with Apollo constantly dropping by unannounced and pushing his unwelcome advances. And on top of it all, the wrathful god of war, Ares, has returned to Olympus to dredge up his sordid history with the goddess of spring, threatening to surface Persephone's dark and mysterious past and ruin her tenuous position in the land of the gods.

Despite agreeing to take it slow, Persephone and Hades find themselves inextricably drawn toward each other once more amid the chaos. The pull of fate cannot be denied.

Un mistero da risolvere, un’isola divisa a metà a causa di segreti ormai dimenticati, due protagonisti rivali sin da bambini, sullo sfondo di un paesaggio che ricorda le splendide brughiere e le scogliere a picco della Scozia. Dall’autrice di Divini rivali e Spietate promesse, una nuova avventura ricca di incantesimi, folklore e romance.

«Sono soltanto una strofa ispirata dal tuo ritornello, e ti seguirò fino alla fine, quando l’isola prenderà le mie ossa e il mio nome non sarà altro che un ricordo su una lapide accanto alla tua».]]> 491 Rebecca Ross Ciancii ✨️ 0 to-be-read 3.84 2022

Una notte, si intrufola in una grande dimora vittoriana per rubare un prezioso anello di diamanti. All’improvviso, qualcosa va storto e lei si trova intrappolata in una biblioteca con un mostro. Non può scappare. Non può nascondersi. E Graves, questo il nome del proprietario della dimora, ha tutto il diritto di ucciderla. Violando la proprietà, Kierse ha infatti infranto il fragile trattato di pace tra mostri e umani, che impedisce la reciproca distruzione. Ma invece di toglierle la vita, Graves fa l’inaspettato: le offre un lavoro. Una possibilità per scoprire chi è veramente. Kierse ha sempre saputo di essere diversa e, sebbene con qualche riserva, accetta la proposta. Inizia così un addestramento con Graves, che ben presto si accende di passione. Ma se le leggende sono vere, nel mondo ci sono cose più oscure dei mostri. E Kierse e Graves stanno per incontrarle��

And Cardan is even more beautiful than the rest. I hate him more than all the others. I hate him so much that sometimes when I look at him, I can hardly breathe.

Jude was seven when her parents were murdered and she and her two sisters were stolen away to live in the treacherous High Court of Faerie. Ten years later, Jude wants nothing more than to belong there, despite her mortality. But many of the fey despise humans. Especially Prince Cardan, the youngest and wickedest son of the High King.

To win a place at the Court, she must defy him–and face the consequences.

As Jude becomes more deeply embroiled in palace intrigues and deceptions, she discovers her own capacity for trickery and bloodshed. But as betrayal threatens to drown the Courts of Faerie in violence, Jude will need to risk her life in a dangerous alliance to save her sisters, and Faerie itself.]]> 370 Holly Black 0316310271 Ciancii ✨️ 0 to-be-read 4.01 2018

They certainly did not expect them to fall.

As a valued Elding Blade of the rebellion group Fíur du Ath, Raeve’s job is to kill. To complete orders and never get caught. When a renowned bounty hunter is employed by The Crown to capture a member of the Ath, Raeve’s world is turned upside down. Blood spills, hearts break, and Raeve finds herself at the mercy of the Guild of Nobles—a group of dual-beaded elementals who intend to turn her into a political statement. Only death will set her free.

Crushed beneath a mourning weight, Kaan Vaegor took the head of a king and donned his melted crown. Now on a tireless quest to assuage the never-ebbing ache in his chest, his hunt for a moonshard lures him into the belly of Gore’s notorious prison where he stumbles upon something that rips apart his perception of reality. A shackled miracle with eyes full of rage and blood on her hands.

The echo of the past sings louder than the Creators themselves, and even Raeve can’t ignore the truths blaring at her from a warmer, happier time.
However.
There’s more to this song than meets the eye, and some truths ��
They’re too poisonous to swallow.

When the Moon Hatched is a fast-paced fantasy romance for fans of witty banter and strong, sassy protagonists. Beneath the cover is an immersive, vibrant world with mysterious creatures, a unique magic system, and a love that blazes through the ages. ]]> 718 Sarah A. Parker Ciancii ✨️ 0 to-read 3.98 2024

Georgiana Bridgerton isn't against the idea of marriage. She'd just thought she'd have some say in the matter. But with her reputation hanging by a thread after she's abducted for her dowry, Georgie is given two options: live out her life as a spinster or marry the rogue who has ruined her life.

Enter Option #3

As the fourth son of an earl, Nicholas Rokesby is prepared to chart his own course. He has a life in Edinburgh, where he's close to completing his medical studies, and he has no time -- or interest -- to find a wife. But when he discovers that Georgie Bridgerton -- his literal girl-next-door -- is facing ruin, he knows what he must do.

A Marriage of Convenience

It might not have been the most romantic of proposals, but Nicholas never thought she'd say no. Georgie doesn't want to be anyone's sacrifice, and besides, they could never think of each other as anything more than childhood friends... or could they?

But as they embark upon their unorthodox courtship they discover a new twist to the age-old rhyme. First comes scandal, then comes marriage. But after that comes love...]]> 288 Julia Quinn 0062975064 Ciancii ✨️ 0 to-read 3.73 2020

Fiercely independent and adventurous, Poppy Bridgerton will only wed a suitor whose keen intellect and interests match her own. Sadly, none of the fools from her London season qualify. While visiting a friend on the Dorset coast, Poppy is pleasantly surprised to discover a smugglers�� hideaway tucked inside a cave. But her delight turns to dismay when two pirates kidnap her and take her aboard a ship, leaving her bound and gagged on the captain’s bed��

He found her at the wrong time��

Known to society as a rascal and reckless privateer, Captain Andrew James Rokesby actually transports essential goods and documents for the British government. Setting sail on a time-sensitive voyage to Portugal, he’s stunned to find a woman waiting for him in his cabin. Surely, his imagination is getting the better of him. But no, she is very real—and his duty to the Crown means he’s stuck with her.

Can two wrongs make the most perfect right?

When Andrew learns that she is a Bridgerton, he knows he will likely have to wed her to avert a scandal—though Poppy has no idea that he is the son of an earl and neighbor to her aristocratic cousins in Kent. On the high seas, their war of words soon gives way to an intoxicating passion. But when Andrew’s secret is revealed, will his declaration of love be enough to capture her heart��?]]> 391 Julia Quinn 0062388207 Ciancii ✨️ 0 to-read 3.99 2018

While you were sleeping...

With her brother Thomas injured on the battlefront in the Colonies, orphaned Cecilia Harcourt has two unbearable choices: move in with a maiden aunt or marry a scheming cousin. Instead, she chooses option three and travels across the Atlantic, determined to nurse her brother back to health. But after a week of searching, she finds not her brother but his best friend, the handsome officer Edward Rokesby. He's unconscious and in desperate need of her care, and Cecilia vows that she will save this soldier's life, even if staying by his side means telling one little lie...

I told everyone I was your wife

When Edward comes to, he's more than a little confused. The blow to his head knocked out six months of his memory, but surely he would recall getting married. He knows who Cecilia Harcourt is—even if he does not recall her face—and with everyone calling her his wife, he decides it must be true, even though he'd always assumed he'd marry his neighbor back in England.

If only it were true...

Cecilia risks her entire future by giving herself—completely—to the man she loves. But when the truth comes out, Edward may have a few surprises of his own for the new Mrs. Rokesby.]]> 393 Julia Quinn Ciancii ✨️ 0 to-read 3.84 2017

This is not one of those times.

Everyone expects Billie Bridgerton to marry one of the Rokesby brothers. The two families have been neighbors for centuries, and as a child the tomboyish Billie ran wild with Edward and Andrew. Either one would make a perfect husband... someday.

Sometimes you fall in love with exactly the person you think you should...

Or not.

There is only one Rokesby Billie absolutely cannot tolerate, and that is George. He may be the eldest and heir to the earldom, but he's arrogant, annoying, and she's absolutely certain he detests her. Which is perfectly convenient, as she can't stand the sight of him, either.

But sometimes fate has a wicked sense of humor...

Because when Billie and George are quite literally thrown together, a whole new sort of sparks begins to fly. And when these lifelong adversaries finally kiss, they just might discover that the one person they can't abide is the one person they can't live without...]]> 375 Julia Quinn 0062388142 Ciancii ✨️ 0 to-read 3.90 2016

]]> 127305900 In this romantic fantasy of manners from New York Times bestselling author Allison Saft, a magical dressmaker commissioned for a royal wedding finds herself embroiled in scandal when a gossip columnist draws attention to her undeniable chemistry with the groom.

Niamh Ó Conchobhair has never let herself long for more. The magic in her blood that lets her stitch emotions and memories into fabric is the same magic that will eventually kill her. Determined to spend the little time she has left guaranteeing a better life for her family, Niamh jumps at the chance to design the wardrobe for a royal wedding in the neighboring kingdom of Avaland.

But Avaland is far from the fairytale that she imagined. While young nobles attend candlelit balls and elegant garden parties, unrest brews amid the working class. The groom himself, Kit Carmine, is prickly, abrasive, and begrudgingly being dragged to the altar as a political pawn. But when Niamh and Kit grow closer, an unlikely friendship blossoms into something more—until an anonymous columnist starts buzzing about their chemistry, promising to leave them alone only if Niamh helps to uncover the royal family’s secrets. The rot at the heart of Avaland runs deep, but exposing it could risk a future she never let herself dream of, and a love she never thought possible.

Transporting readers to a Regency England-inspired fantasy world, A Fragile Enchantment is a sweeping romance threaded with intrigue, unforgettable characters, and a love story for the ages.]]> 373 Allison Saft 125089283X Ciancii ✨️ 0 to-be-read 3.48 2024

He is the very thing she’s spent her whole life pretending to be.

Only the extraordinary belong in the kingdom of Ilya—the exceptional, the empowered, the Elites.

The powers these Elites have possessed for decades were graciously gifted to them by the Plague, though not all were fortunate enough to both survive the sickness and reap the reward. Those born Ordinary are just that—ordinary. And when the king decreed that all Ordinaries be banished in order to preserve his Elite society, lacking an ability suddenly became a crime—making Paedyn Gray a felon by fate and a thief by necessity.

Surviving in the slums as an Ordinary is no simple task, and Paedyn knows this better than most. Having been trained by her father to be overly observant since she was a child, Paedyn poses as a Psychic in the crowded city, blending in with the Elites as best she can in order to stay alive and out of trouble. Easier said than done.

When Paeydn unsuspectingly saves one of Ilyas princes, she finds herself thrown into the Purging Trials. The brutal competition exists to showcase the Elites�� powers—the very thing Paedyn lacks. If the Trials and the opponents within them don’t kill her, the prince she’s fighting feelings for certainly will if he discovers what she is—completely Ordinary.]]> 523 Lauren Roberts Ciancii ✨️ 0 to-be-read 4.17 2023

Autore bestseller ribelle e caotico, Blake Avery fa impazzire chiunque graviti nella sua orbita: dall’agente all’editor, dagli addetti stampa ai grafici. Così, l’editore, che non ne può più di sentire lamentele sul suo conto, obbliga Blake a seguire una serie di sedute di psicoterapia per gestire i problemi di disciplina. Una cosa è certa: Blake non pensa di avere alcun tipo di problema e non ha nessuna voglia di farsi esaminare da uno “strizzacervelli��. Ma il dottor Zuckerman la sa lunga e, seduta dopo seduta, senza rendersene conto, Blake si mette a nudo e racconta di sé e delle sue relazioni passate: dal primo bacio alla prima cotta estiva, dalle (dis)avventure con le donne all’incontro con Summer che, lui ancora non lo sa, gli cambierà la vita.

]]> 61394790 Nel disperato tentativo di impedire le nozze, Evangeline stringe un patto con il Fatidico Principe di Cuori, affascinante quanto malvagio. In cambio del suo aiuto, il Fato chiede a Evangeline tre baci, che dovrà dare quando e a chi deciderà lui.
Ma già al primo dei tre baci promessi, Evangeline impara a sue spese che mettersi in affari con un immortale può rivelarsi un gioco molto pericoloso, e che ciò che il Principe di Cuori vuole da lei è più di quanto si è fatto promettere. I piani che ha fatto per Evangeline potrebbero portare al più straordinario dei lieto fine o alla più spettacolare delle tragedie...]]> 356 Stephanie Garber 8831808796 Ciancii ✨️ 0 to-be-read 3.94 2021

Belly measures her life in summers. Everything good, everything magical happens between the months of June and August. Winters are simply a time to count the weeks until the next summer, a place away from the beach house, away from Susannah, and most importantly, away from Jeremiah and Conrad. They are the boys that Belly has known since her very first summer -- they have been her brother figures, her crushes, and everything in between. But one summer, one wonderful and terrible summer, the more everything changes, the more it all ends up just the way it should have been all along.]]> 232 Jenny Han 8831808532 Ciancii ✨️ 0 to-be-read 3.48 2009

When a suitor tells Arabella he’s willing to overlook her appalling bluestocking tendencies on account of her looks and fortune, she decides to take a break from the Marriage Mart. During an extended stay in the country, she never expects to meet Lord John Blackwood, a wounded war hero who intrigues her like no other man.

]]> 90202302 “The first year is when some of us lose our lives. The second year is when the rest of us lose our humanity.�� —Xaden Riorson

Everyone expected Violet Sorrengail to die during her first year at Basgiath War College—Violet included. But Threshing was only the first impossible test meant to weed out the weak-willed, the unworthy, and the unlucky.

Now the real training begins, and Violet’s already wondering how she’ll get through. It’s not just that it’s grueling and maliciously brutal, or even that it’s designed to stretch the riders�� capacity for pain beyond endurance. It’s the new vice commandant, who’s made it his personal mission to teach Violet exactly how powerless she is–unless she betrays the man she loves.

Although Violet’s body might be weaker and frailer than everyone else’s, she still has her wits—and a will of iron. And leadership is forgetting the most important lesson Basgiath has taught her: Dragon riders make their own rules.

But a determination to survive won’t be enough this year.

Because Violet knows the real secret hidden for centuries at Basgiath War College—and nothing, not even dragon fire, may be enough to save them in the end.]]> 623 Rebecca Yarros 1649374178 Ciancii ✨️ 0 to-be-read 4.33 2023

Dei sei romanzi di Jane Austen, scrittrice che Virginia Woolf ha definito "l'artista più perfetta tra le donne", Orgoglio e pregiudizio è il primo in ordine di tempo e insieme il capolavoro. Quando lo scrisse, la Austen aveva ventun anni e un'amica di famiglia l'aveva definita "la più graziosa, sciocca, leziosa farfalla in cerca di marito che sia dato incontrare". Frivola e ironica, non si distingueva dal mondo campagnolo e borghese cui apparteneva, fatto di tè, balli flirt e della buona società, minuti e ridicoli incidenti della vita quotidiana. Ma su questi tenui motivi sapeva giocare con una grazia e una profondità uniche. Ed è così che, narrando in Orgoglio e pregiudizio la storia delle cinque sorelle Bennet e dei loro corteggiatori, riesce a evocare, con tocchi sobri e precisi, l'intero, incantevole, penetrante quadro della provincia inglese alla fine del Settecento.]]> 432 Jane Austen Ciancii ✨️ 3 Era uno dei classici da recuperare... d'obbligo dopo aver letto tutti gli altri libri a tema regency!

]]> 187589278 Brillante studentessa di Egittologia e appassionata lettrice di romance Regency, Rebecca ama partecipare alle rievocazioni storiche in costume e, proprio durante una di queste, accade qualcosa di inspiegabile: si ritrova sbalzata nella Londra del 1816. Superato lo shock iniziale, Rebecca realizza di avere un'occasione unica: essere la debuttante più contesa dagli scapoli dell’alta società, tra un tè e una passeggiata a Hyde Park. Mentre è alla ricerca del suo Mr Darcy, Rebecca attira però l’attenzione dell’uomo meno raccomandabile di Londra: Reedlan Knox, un corsaro dal fascino oscuro e la reputazione a dir poco scandalosa. Insomma, il genere d’uomo che una signorina per bene non dovrebbe proprio frequentare. Ma quando Rebecca scopre segreti inconfessabili e trame losche dell’aristocrazia, il suo senso di giustizia le impone d’indagare. Nessuno però pare intenzionato a mettere a rischio il proprio onore per aiutarla. Non le resta che rivolgersi all’unico che un onore da difendere non ce l’ha: Reedlan Knox. E se, dopotutto, il corsaro si rivelasse più interessante del gentiluomo che Rebecca ha sempre sognato? Decidere se tornare nel presente o restare nel 1816 potrebbe diventare una scelta difficile...]]> 575 Felicia Kingsley Ciancii ✨️ 5 Ho amato la storia e ho amato i personaggi, come del resto è successo per ogni suo libro fino ad ora (tranne uno forse)!

After Jacks, the Prince of Hearts, betrays her, Evangeline Fox swears she'll never trust him again. Now that she’s discovered her own magic, Evangeline believes she can use it to restore the chance at happily ever after that Jacks stole away.

But when a new terrifying curse is revealed, Evangeline finds herself entering into a tenuous partnership with the Prince of Hearts again. Only this time, the rules have changed. Jacks isn’t the only force Evangeline needs to be wary of. In fact, he might be the only one she can trust, despite her desire to despise him.

Instead of a love spell wreaking havoc on Evangeline’s life, a murderous spell has been cast. To break it, Evangeline and Jacks will have to do battle with old friends, new foes, and a magic that plays with heads and hearts.

]]> 61431922 Enter the brutal and elite world of a war college for dragon riders...

Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders.

But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile�� humans. They incinerate them.

With fewer dragons willing to bond than cadets, most would kill Violet to better their own chances of success. The rest would kill her just for being her mother’s daughter—like Xaden Riorson, the most powerful and ruthless wingleader in the Riders Quadrant.

She’ll need every edge her wits can give her just to see the next sunrise.

Yet, with every day that passes, the war outside grows more deadly, the kingdom's protective wards are failing, and the death toll continues to rise. Even worse, Violet begins to suspect leadership is hiding a terrible secret.

Friends, enemies, lovers. Everyone at Basgiath War College has an agenda—because once you enter, there are only two ways out: graduate or die]]> 517 Rebecca Yarros 1649374046 Ciancii ✨️ 0 to-be-read 4.56 2023

That is until a redheaded American throws herself in front of a carriage to save his young nephew's life. She's everything Alex never thought a woman could be—smart and funny, principled and brave. But she's a servant, completely unsuitable for a highborn duke—unless, perhaps, she's not quite what she seems...

American heiress Emma Dunster might be surrounded by Englishmen, but that doesn't mean she intends to marry one—even if she has agreed to participate in one London Season. When she slipped out of her cousins' home, dressed as a kitchen maid, all she wanted was one last taste of anonymity before her debut. She never dreamed she'd find herself in the arms of a dangerously handsome duke... or that he'd be quite so upset when he discovered her true identity.

Dopo 18 anni è il momento della figlia di America e Maxon partecipare, anzi, tenere la selezione. Bel tentativo di ribaltare i ruoli rispetto alla trilogia... ma il carattere della protagonista è di una pesantezza
]]> 60784546 After centuries of sleep, the gods are warring again��

È stato interessante leggere pezzi di storia dal punto di vista degli altro personaggi. Personalmente avrei voluto leggere di più sul principe (che anche se centrale nella trilogia ha avuto poco spazio di parola), ma sapere anche la storia della regina è stato super!
Direi che il lieto fine è arrivato per (quasi) tutti.

Red ne è quasi felice: tormentata da un misterioso potere che non è in grado di controllare, almeno nel Wilderwood non potrà fare del male a coloro che ama. Non più.

Ma le leggende non dicono la verità. Il lupo non è un mostro, è un essere umano. I poteri di Red non sono una maledizione, sono una vocazione. Ma se non imparerà a controllarli gli dèi, divenuti mostri, inghiottiranno il Wilderwood, e il mondo intero.]]> 501 Hannah F. Whitten 8835721903 Ciancii ✨️ 3 Libro mooolto lento, con tantissime descrizioni e pochi dialoghi. Nella seconda metà del libro (ultime 150 pagine) è iniziato a succedere finalmente qualcosa di interessante e movimentato. Non so se leggerò il seguito, anche perché la storyline di Neve era davvero noiosa...

Anche Marley sta cercando di guarire una ferita profonda, di cui peraltro ritiene di essere l'unica responsabile. Quando le loro strade si incrociano, Kyle riconosce nella ragazza tutti i sentimenti che agitano il suo animo e che non è mai riuscito a rivelare a chi gli sta accanto.

A mano a mano che i due si frequentano, scoprono di essere in grado di aiutarsi reciprocamente a superare il momento più doloroso della loro vita, e a rimetterne insieme i pezzi. Il loro legame si fa via via più forte e speciale, ma il destino forse ha in serbo per loro altre sorprese...]]> 287 Mikki Daughtry 8835722950 Ciancii ✨️ 0 to-be-read 3.81 2020

When she was chosen to compete in the Selection, America never dreamed she would find herself anywhere close to the crown—or to Prince Maxon's heart. But as the end of the competition approaches, and the threats outside the palace walls grow more vicious, America realizes just how much she stands to lose—and how hard she'll have to fight for the future she wants.]]> 323 Kiera Cass 0062059998 Ciancii ✨️ 5 Colpi di scena ovunque, alcuni inaspettati e altri un po' meno (ma ci può stare).

Come sospettavo, quasi sempre il secondo volume è quello più lento e più noioso... e poi si riprende con il terzo!

]]> 30509683 Come a Jemma, truccatrice teatrale con un debole per i ballerini latino-americani che vive a Londra, in un seminterrato, proprio sotto ai genitori hippy. La nonna le ha lasciato un’enorme eredità, che potrà ottenere solo sposando un uomo di nobile titolo.
I soldi non fanno la felicità ma possono cambiarti la vita ��
Come ad Ashford, dodicesimo Duca di Burlingham, cresciuto negli agi e nel lusso, rispettabile esponente dell’aristocrazia inglese, ambito da tutte le debuttanti, che scopre di essere sull’orlo della bancarotta e con il rischio di perdere il titolo.
Così, due persone che mai sarebbero state destinate ad incrociarsi, si trovano a stringere un accordo: un matrimonio d’interesse, per cambiare la propria vita o per salvare quello che si è sempre avuto.
Ma Jemma è un’estranea nel mondo di Ashford, fatto di formalità, ricevimenti, altezzosi aristocratici e l’odiosa e imprevista suocera, Delphina.
Ashford, che pensava a tutto meno che a sposarsi, si trova come moglie una persona irritante, poco collaborativa, sempre pronta al conflitto e che non perde occasione per metterlo in imbarazzo.
La convivenza si fa sempre più complicata quando Jemma incontra Carter, che sembra essere il principe azzurro che ha sempre sognato.
Se siete abituati alla favola come l’avete sempre conosciuta, questa storia metterà sottosopra tutte le vostre certezze, tra manieri, battute di caccia, amici sociopatici e politicamente scorretti, dischi in vinile e allucinogeni anni ��70.
�� E poi, chi è Portia?
