📚 Bei der geplanten Hochzeit mal eben für die Schw 📚 Bei der geplanten Hochzeit mal eben für die Schwester einspringen? Kann man machen, muss man aber nicht 😊🌙 Recension: Where Colors Die (Kingdoms of Pentharos #1) by Saskia Louis📚 Genre: Romantasy📅 Release Date: September 15, 2026📱 Read as: Kindle📗 verfügbar in verschiedenen Formaten – included in Kindle Unlimited💸 I received an advance review copy, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.🗣️ Language: Deutsch📆 Pages: 567⭐️ 5/5Review:Zu Beginn des Buches wird deutlich, dass Yara kein leichtes Schicksal hat. Sie ist liebenswert, hat gelernt, sich zurückzunehmen, und akzeptiert, dass sie im Königreich nie dieselbe Aufmerksamkeit wie ihre Schwester erhalten wird. Ihr Vater duldet sie zwar, kann den Fehltritt ihrer Mutter jedoch nicht vergessen.Als ihre Schwester kurz vor der Hochzeit mit dem König eines anderen Reiches verschwindet, muss Yara als Ersatz einspringen. Begeistert ist sie davon nicht, doch nach zwei gescheiterten Ehen (sie wird schon einen zeitnahen *Ausweg* finden) fügt sie sich ihrem Schicksal. Schnell merkt sie jedoch, dass Jareth ganz anders ist als erwartet und ihre neue Heimat ihr Chancen bietet, von denen sie nie zu träumen wagte. Bis sich plötzlich alles zum Schlechten wendet.Yara ist halb Mensch, halb Regenbogenfae und gehört nirgends richtig dazu. Erst durch Jareth erkennt sie, wie viel in ihr steckt. Ich mochte sie von Anfang an, und die Chemie zwischen den beiden hat mich sofort überzeugt. Ständig wartete ich darauf, dass sie sich ihre Gefühle endlich eingestehen.Dieses Buch war eine echte Überraschung. Schon nach wenigen Seiten war ich gefesselt und konnte es kaum aus der Hand legen. Die Handlung bleibt durchgehend spannend, Yara ist eine besondere Protagonistin, und ich bekam alles, was ich mir erhofft hatte. Eine klare Empfehlung.
📚 Returning to your homeland sounds great on paper 📚 Returning to your homeland sounds great on paper, until it doesn't.🌙 Recension: Cursebound (Faebound #2) by Saara El-Arifi📚 Genre: Fantasy, Romance, Romantasy📅 Release Date: February 18, 2025📖 Publisher: Del Rey📱 Read as: Kindle📗 available in various formats💸 Bought🗣️ Language: English📆 Pages: 350⭐️ 3/5Review:After the first book in the series, I was looking forward to reading this one. As this was a re-read for me, I remembered not enjoying it as much as the first instalment, and unfortunately, that didn’t change the second time around. It felt more like a setup for the finale, introducing a new character (who will become very important) and clearly highlighting that even the best intentions can lead to bad outcomes.Yeeran’s return to the place where she grew up, sharing the story of the forgotten race and hoping to be welcomed back after her unfortunate departure, felt a little naive. Seeing how she was treated was sad, but I suspected early on that this was exactly how things would unfold. I was never a fan of her former leader and lover. However, Yeeran’s ability to reflect on the differences in leadership, and recognise how some of her own actions contributed to her situation, allowed for some meaningful personal growth.Lettle was, and still is, the character I enjoy the most. She sometimes overlooks those around her in pursuit of her goals, but overall she isn’t afraid to push back and go after what she wants. When she became the target of an unfortunate situation, I was genuinely concerned for her safety.At the end of the day, the story shows what people are willing to do to remain in power, and what can happen when the needs of a large portion of the population are systematically ignored. I enjoyed it, but I didn’t love it. I am, however, very curious to see how everything comes together in the finale.

📚 What if running away is the only option to keep 📚 What if running away is the only option to keep them safe?🌙 Recension: The Stepmother by Sheila Bugler📚 Genre: Mystery, Thriller📅 Release Date: September 24, 2026📖 Publisher: Hodder & Stoughton📱 Read as: Kindle📗 available in various formats💸 I received an advance review copy, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.🗣️ Language: English📆 Pages: 325⭐️ 4/5Review:This one started out strongly by immediately setting the tone. We get a glimpse into the past of a woman being abused and trying to escape. The urgency of the situation came across very well, and I was rooting for her to get away from him.In the present, we meet Sarah, who is in a happy relationship with Mike and his two children. When she arrives at their school to pick them up, she learns that her husband has already collected them. When she cannot reach him, it quickly becomes clear that something must have happened for him to run away with them.Sarah also has a past of her own, having left her old life behind to start over somewhere new. The early chapters leave it unclear whether she is the same woman we met at the beginning. As Sarah begins to uncover things about her husband, I really felt for her. Not being the children's biological mother put her in a situation where she legally could not do anything, and her helplessness resonated with me. When the pieces finally came together and we learned what had really happened, I was eager to see how everything would unfold. Once I understood what was going on, I had a suspicion that it could only end one way.Were some things a bit unrealistic for me? Yes, but that did not take away from the fact that this was a very entertaining read.
