Trama: Jenna, Kara e Locke, tre amici inseparabili, tornando da una festa rimangono uccisi in un terribile incidente. I loro corpi non possono essere salvati ma le loro menti vengono tenute in vita e intrappolate in un computer. Jenna è la prima a risvegliarsi con un corpo artificiale grazie a un esperimento di biotecnologia avanzata. Kara e Locke invece vengono dimenticati e rimangono in un lunghissimo limbo dove esistono solo i loro pensieri e i loro sentimenti. Passano gli anni e poi i secoli e finalmente Locke e Kara si trovano di nuovo nelle loro sembianze, riprodotte in laboratorio. Ma il mondo in cui si risvegliano è un luogo estraneo dove tutto e tutti quelli che conoscevano sono ormai scomparsi. Tutti tranne Jenna Fox.

Prezzo: 0,89€
Trama: A love that refuses to die...
"As I watched him vanish into a soft mist that faded away, I knew that he was no ordinary spirit...I knew that he was a dangerous entity that could be in some corner of another realm planning his revenge, but I also knew that I was hopelessly in love with him." When Becca moves into her ancestral home in Corydon, Indiana, her life takes a puzzling and thrilling turn when she meets the ghost haunting the halls. As the seductive spirit lures her closer and closer, she learns about her own past and starts to understand that some mistakes are meant to last. Becca McAllister has always been different from other girls her age. Never part of the "in crowd", Becca never really fit in anywhere. When her mother dies and her father moves them to the small town of Corydon, Indiana, Becca didn't expect things to change. But things do change when Becca accidentally makes contact with a one hundred and sixty year old ghost, Alastor Sinclair, that haunts the halls of her new home. To Becca, Alastor is a seductive spirit that seems to see straight into her soul. To Alastor, Becca is what he was waited a century for--A second chance. But the closer they get, the more Becca realizes that this isn't the first time she and Alastor have known each other. Worse still, is she the one responsible for his death so long ago? And if so, did he come back for love or revenge?

Titolo: The Savior of Turk
Autore: Ron D. Smith
Pagine: 228
Prezzo: 3,59€
Trama: Bhanu Ganesh can’t catch a break. He comes from India with his parents to start a new life in rural Missouri where, as his American-born cousin says, a person “stands out like a vegan at a rib joint if he’s anything other than white boy or a black cow.” Bhanu arrives with everything short of a “kick me” sign on his back. His prep school getup, highbrow British accent, and pathological fear of feminine touch make him an immediate social outcast. Then there’s his little arson habit, the primary reason his family comes to America for a fresh start. What’s more, the new family business in the tiny town of Turk is selling adult movies and other products at a store along the interstate. That doesn’t sit well with some of the locals, particularly those at the Turk Everlasting Church of God.
Infine ringrazio l'autore Griffin Hayes per avermi mandato:
Titolo: Malice
Autore: Griffin Hayes
Editore: Trebor Books
Pagine: 161
Prezzo: 2,68€
Trama: When a series of shocking suicides rock the small town of Millingham, Massachusetts, the authorities are left with more questions than answers. What did the victims see before they died? And why did it make them gouge their eyes out?
Only seventeen-year-old Lysander Shore knows these aren't suicides at all. There's a serial killer stalking the people of Millingham. One that murders at will and never leaves a trace.
But Lysander knows the police won't believe him, especially when they learn the paranormal way in which he witnessed the killer's handiwork. The only one who will listen is Samantha Crow, a strangely familiar young girl on a mission to prove her mother's death was no suicide.
Soon, the long trail of bodies leads Lysander and Samantha to a dark secret. One that traces back to a witch's trial and execution 350 years ago. The deeper they dig, the more they realize the victims aren't nearly as random as they seem. In fact, the killer has a list and one of them is next.
Per questa settimana per me è tutto, voi cosa avete comprato/ricevuto/vinto? ^^

Titolo: Il sigillo del cavaliere
Autore: Guo Jingming
Editore: Fanucci
Collana: Collezione fantasy
Pagine: 306
Prezzo: 9,90€
Trama: L’Impero Occidentale di Aslan fa parte del leggendario continente di Aoting, un mondo intriso di psicoarti dove energia e forza sono nelle mani di sette Cavalieri Reali, maestri di altissimo livello i cui poteri appartengono alle più alte sfere dei quattro elementi. Il giovane Qiling non conosce nulla di questo mondo, ma si ritrova di punto in bianco a essere nominato discepolo del Cavaliere Reale di Settimo Grado, e comincia così a seguire Polvere d’Argento in tutte le sue avventure. Inizialmente spaventato dalla sua psicofiera, Dente della Pallida Neve, un leone alato color argento, Qiling imparerà poi ad amarlo e a vivere in simbiosi con lui, come ogni Cavaliere fa con la propria psicofiera, perché sarà proprio lui a salvarlo dalle situazioni più pericolose. A poco a poco, Qiling imparerà a conoscere i segreti di quel mondo a cui tanto anelava ma che gli era estraneo, affrontando mille traversie e combattimenti agghiaccianti. Riuscirà con la sua indole pura a far fronte da solo a un mondo efferato, e a trovare dentro di sé la forza necessaria per poter prendere le redini di Cavaliere di Settimo Grado?
