A 19-year-old girl, a gay best friend, a famous pop star, a heart wrenching love story between the girl and the star, a bitter break-up, and I think, more I needn´t tell. Sounds like a typical love story, but the writing makes it unique. Melody´s Key is about Tegan Lockwood, whose family owns a holiday place at which the famous pop star Mason Keane takes a timeout. At first, Tegan isn´t very excited of their guest, but soon she learns that Mason isn’t what he´s rumored to be and they get to know each other better and better. Yet it´s difficult for Tegan to let someone come close to her, because of a bad experience in the past. Tegan and Mason have one important thing in common – music. Mason is the first person ever to her Tegan´s self-written, they even end up writing songs together – songs about their love. The songs are very romantic, just like Tegan herself is. She sees the world in vivid romantic detail, which is reflected by the writing style (which I absolutely love!). At f

He's half White Witch, half Black Witch. His mother was a healer, his father is a killer. He's been kept in a cage since he was fourteen. But if White Witches are good and Black Witches are evil, what happens if you are both?   With exactly this problem Nathan Bryn , the protagonist of the Half Bad Trilogy , has to deal with. His mother, a White Witch, once fell in love with the most feared Black Witch of all - Marcus. But as Blacks are reckoned as evil, the Council of the White Witches, of course, prohibited this love and Nathan´s mom got married with someone else and had three children with him. Since Nathan´s Mom still was in love with Marcus, they came together once again and had a child - Nathan , half Black, half White. As Nathan is a Half Code, the other children bully him for his mixture of blood - especially the O´Brien bothers, after they discovered that their sister, Annalise, meets up with him. On top, he regularly has to go to the Council to tes

A Court of Thorns and Roses is basically a Beauty and the Beast retelling. In the first few pages, you already learn a lot about Feyre - the main character - and her family: Because they lost their fortune, Feyre has to hunt in the forest. One day she killed a (faerie-)wolf and so she ends up at Spring Court in Prythian, the Faerie Realm. She finds herself in the midst of a land she has no place being in, and yet, she finds love with the beast of the story, Tamlin, the High Lord of the Spring Court. In Prythian, there are three ´main sorts´of faeries: the lesser faeries, the High Fae and the seven High Lords - like Tamlin is one. For me, the whole ´Fae-thing´ is kinda puzzling, because it´s hard to recall what exactly which sort of faerie can do. There are some situations, too, that are a bit difficult to imagine. At some Point, Tamlin sents Feyre back home, though he loves her. But barely Feyre is at home, she tries to go to Prythian again, because she knows of a potential
