It should have just been a short trip into the wilderness of the Glacier National Park, a small adventure, nothing more. They had looked forward to a few days of hiking and de-stressing before the hectics of college and life in general could catch up to them again. But from the very start, they couldn't shake off the feeling of being constantly watched from within the dense wilderness, of being followed by creatures on silent paws.

*I made a new cover and slightly changed the title* After a prolonged drought and in the clutches of a harsh winter, a small village in ancient Japan is faced with a hard decision: in order not to perish, they need to appease the local guardian spirit, the dragon watching over their land. They need to sacrifice a young maiden to become his bride. She will die, but they will live. For the commonwealth is mightier than a single life after all. The young Hagi is the unlucky one chosen for that task. After having received the honour of having been tossed over a cliff to her certain death in order to save her family, Hagi finds herself not dead, but in a world beyond her understanding. Surrounded by beings, who regard her merely as an odd curiosity, something lesser than them. The novel follows the human girl Hagi, the stubborn and grumpy dragon prince Kôryûmaru and the mischievous prince of the firebirds Ennetsujiko as they travel across the country, get caught up in the political squabbles of the courtiers and nobles and stumble upon an old secret, which had been guarded closely by the dragon empress Toyotama for centuries.

The simplicity of a normal routine can often be used as a security blanket. Occasionally life strips our security blankets from us entirely. 
Life isn't meant to be taken in silence, yet Leia Walker goes through every day as if trying to hide herself from the world. Every task completed, is simply that. Another box ticked off her checklist. However Leia's bubble is popped when she learns about the reality of what she thought to be the phenomena of teen fiction, as an old friend is reintroduced to her life. A gruesome event proves what Leia is scared to learn - her friend Sophie Vidali is indeed a vampire. 
 Forced to go on the run with Sophie, Leia's life is turned in a completely new direction when they're hunted by vampires and hunters alike. The only thing preventing them from losing themselves along the way is their friendship; their bond. -------------------------------------------------------- credit to blurb: @WishesOnStars

{Completed} Highest Ranking: # 1 in Fantasy (01/28/17) Book. 1 My blood boiled at the thought of one of them in our streets, hidden in plain sight, perhaps even by one of the kids from the orphanages. Would it murder innocent human children? You bet. Would it even think twice about gutting a starving child? Never. What could do this, you're probably asking. But it boils down to one single word. One word that made anger I hadn't known I possessed, roar to life like a pissed off lion. One word that sent a cold chill spider-walking down my spine. Faeries. ------------ Eve Scotts's world is divided by magic - The Order of the Seven who rules over her kingdom with a steel fist and the murderous faeries's she'll be forced to fight when she turns eighteen. Eve is a dueler, a human that dabbles in the elements to fight in underground scuffles for some extra coin to feed her fellow orphans back home. But she has a secret weapon: She can wield ice magic - a magic that is only reserved for the High Witches at court. But she makes a mistake. She exposes herself. Rumors are spreading of a small orphan girl who can wield the power of ice, and it isn't long until the Order sends one of their own to snatch up the bounty. In exchange for the secrecy of her special gift, Eve agrees to participate in the Witches Academy, where humans are taught to wield the power of the elements and become powerful witch soldiers for the Order's disposal. As Eve is drawn further into the Witch world, she risks everything to learn more about her power and her lineage. With her frozen heart melting for the Count of Night, Sebastian O'Neill, Eve is thrown into a cyclone of love, betrayal, and family drama she hadn't even known an orphan could inherit. Soon, Eve must decide: Is love, or survival more important? Word Count: 102,000.

Sky und Jannek ♡ WINNER | 3. PLATZ | BLOB-AWARD | BEENDET am 19.02.2017 "Nur weil bereits Monate vergangen sind, heißt es nicht, dass ich dich vergessen habe. Im Gegenteil." Für Lindsey.

Eigentlich wollte Tobi nur seinen Marktwert austesten. Ein wenig unverbindlichen Spaß haben, nichts weiter. Am Besten wäre es, wenn er dabei auch gleich seinen Ex vergessen könnte. Wie so oft im Leben, kommt es aber anders als gedacht.
