-- English & German versions -- A young scientist for arctic studies follows the ominous last notes of her institute's founder into something that by modern science has no right to exist: a dead place beyond ... The story here picks up ideas from my on-going worldbuilding project. It's a bit darker and maybe even more classic horror than I usually write, including also some more "baroque" language (I don't know how that happens sometimes ... ;-) ). There is an absolutely beautiful review by @TaintedBloodBooks, check it out here: https://taintedbloodbookscom.wordpress.com/2024/06/08/book-review-the-blanked-cold/ And another review by reads.emma at Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/DB_CGlLOeH6/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== So proud of these :-) Btw, page 1 is the English version ("The Blanked Cold"), page 2 the German ("Die Leere Kälte"). Happy reading! --- Eine junge Wissenschaftlerin für Arktisforschung folgt den ominösen letzten Aufzeichnungen ihres Institutsgründers hin zu etwas, das gemäß moderner Wissenschaft gar nicht existieren sollte: ein Ort jenseits unserer Welt ... Die Story hier greift Ideen aus meinem aktuellen Worldbuilding-Projekt auf. Alles etwas düsterer und vielleicht sogar etwas mehr klassischer Horror, als das, was ich normalerweise schreibe, inclusive einee etwas "barockeren" Sprache (ich habe keine Ahnung, warum das manchmal so passiert ... ;-) ). Es gibt eine fantastische Rezension von @TaintedBloodBooks (auf Englisch), die findet Ihr hier: https://taintedbloodbookscom.wordpress.com/2024/06/08/book-review-the-blanked-cold/ Und noch ein Review von reads.emma auf Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/DB_CGlLOeH6/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Frei mich total über beide :-) Btw, auf Seite 1 findet Ihr die englische Version ("The Blanked Cold"), auf Seite 2 die deutsche Version ("Die Leere Kälte") Happy reading!

What if you suddenly discovered that supernatural beings existed and lived among us? What if you found that you were one of those creatures and your entire life was a lie? And, what if that truth would require you to do the unthinkable? Would you sacrifice everything to save the people you love, even if it meant deceiving them and hurting them? Luna, a Twenty-year-old ballet student at Julliard, thinks she's just an ordinary girl with big dreams.

"You just have no idea." His voice was thick with restraint. "W-what," I breathed. His gaze flicked to my lips as his thumb stroked again. The calloused pad against my soft flesh sent goosebumps down my arms. His once warm eyes were dark as they lifted and bared into my soul. "What you do to... men." His husky whisper weakened my knees. I almost fell but his other hand settled on my hip, pulling me closer to him. "What you do to me," he added on a breath. The hand on my jaw shifted. His fingers left trails of tingles as he slipped them back slowly, under my earlobe and into my curls. *************************************************** As a young girl, Charlotte Avery's favourite pass time was daydreaming about her Prince Charming: Archer Johnson.
