Das schöne Wetter und die viele Arbeit haben mich auch im August auf Trab gehalten. Trotzdem habe ich es irgendwie geschafft 13 Bücher zu lesen und anstatt Rezensionen zu schreiben, lieber im Freien zu sein. Bedeutet, es gab neben einem Blick auf meine letzten Neuzugänge bloß eine Teilnahme an der Gemeinsam Lesen-Aktion und die Aussicht auf den September.
Review | Loreth Anne White - In The Barren Ground
Mittwoch, 24. August 2016
In
the Barrens, a vast wilderness in northern Canada bordering the Arctic Circle,
night consumes every hour of the winter. Humans are scarce; ferocious predators
roam freely. Locals say spirits do, too.
Rookie cop Tana Larsson doesn’t mind the dark and quiet. Five months pregnant and hoping to escape the mistakes of her past, she takes a post in Twin Rivers, population 320. Maybe here she can find peace and community for her child.
But with her superior out of commission, Tana becomes the sole police officer in 17,500 square miles. One bitter night, she gets a call about the fatal wolf mauling of two students, and the only way to reach the remote scene is to enlist the help of the arrogant, irritatingly handsome Cameron “Crash” O’Halloran, a local bush pilot with a shady reputation for smuggling and a past cloaked in shadow.
When the macabre scene they uncover suggests violence much more sinister than animal, Tana must trust Crash if she wants to protect the town - and herself from the evil that lurks in the frozen dark.

Review | Lauren Layne - Irresistibly Yours
Mittwoch, 10. August 2016
Hotshot sports editor Cole Sharpe has been
freelancing for Oxford
for years, so when he hears about a staff position opening up, he figures he’s
got the inside track. Then his boss drops a bombshell: Cole has competition. Female
competition, in the form of a fresh-faced tomboy who can hang with the dudes -
and write circles around them, too. Cole usually likes his women flirty and
curvy, but he takes a special interest in his skinny, sassy rival, if only to
keep an eye on her. And soon, he can’t take his eyes off
her.
Penelope Pope knows all too well that she comes off as just one of the guys. Since she’s learned that wanting more usually leads to disappointment, Penelope’s resigned to sitting on the sidelines when it comes to love. So why does Cole make her want to get back in the game? The man is as arrogant as he is handsome. He probably sees her as nothing more than a barrier to his dream job. But when an unexpected kiss turns into a night of irresistible passion, Penelope has to figure out whether they’re just fooling around - or starting something real.
