From the world of Beautiful Creatures--a dangerous new tale of love and magic continues in the sequel to Dangerous Creatures. After a disastrous car crash outside New York City, Ridley Duchannes-Dark Caster, Siren, and bona fide bad girl-has gone missing. Her wannabe rocker and quarter Incubus boyfriend, Wesley "Link" Lincoln, was driving, and when he comes to, Ridley is nowhere to be found. The only clue is the giant raven emblazoned on the hood of the truck that hit them, which can mean only one thing: Silas Ravenwood is back. And he has Ridley. Determined to find her, Link reunites with old friends John Breed and Liv Durand, his New York bandmates, and the mysterious Lennox Gates-who has his own reasons for tracking down Ridley. Together they travel through the Caster Tunnels and the Deep South to New Orleans, where they uncover the truth about the infamous Ravenwood labs and exactly what Silas has been doing within those walls. By the time Link and his friends reach Ridley, she is no longer the Siren they know and love. She''s something new. This time, love might not be enough to save them. In this sequel to Dangerous Creatures, the bestselling spin-off of the #1 New York Times bestselling Beautiful Creatures novels, coauthors Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl deliver an intoxicating blend of magic, suspense, and danger.

Ethan wist zeker dat er in Gatlin nooit iets gebeurde. Tot hij Lena ontmoette, die hem een wereld toonde die al die tijd verborgen was gebleven. Een Gatlin dat eeuwenoude geheimen herbergde, onder de met mos bedekte bomen en afgebrokkelde trottoirs. Samen kunnen ze alles aan, maar na een tragisch sterfgeval begint Lena afstand te nemen van Ethan. Ze houdt geheimen achter die hun relatie ernstig op de proef stellen. En nu Ethan openstaat voor de duistere kant van het stadje en opgejaagd wordt door visioenen die alleen hij kan zien, is er geen weg meer terug.

Kennedy moet haar moeders plaats innemen in het Legioen van de Zwarte Duif, een geheime club voor geestenjagers. Samen met de andere vier leden moet ze de wereld beschermen tegen een wraakzuchtig demon... Kami Garcia schreef samen met Margaret Stohl de internationale bestseller Beautiful Creatures.

Ethan tæller ned til den dag, hvor han afslutter Jackson High og kan flytte langt væk fra Gatlin, for én ting er sikkert: Der sker aldrig noget nyt i den lille, fordomsfulde sydstatsflække. Hans mor er for nyligt død i en ulykke, og hans far har buret sig inde på sit kontor i sorg, så hvad skulle holde ham tilbage? På det seneste er Ethan begyndt at have mærkelige drømme om en pige, han aldrig har mødt. Det er blevet en besættelse for ham, og han føler sig både forelsket og lettere sindssyg på en gang. Da skoleåret starter, og den smukke Lena Duchannes dukker op, bliver pigen fra hans drømme pludselig lyslevende. Lena er befriende anderledes end alle piger på Jackson High, men også skræmmende. Hun bor hos sin onkel, den besynderlige eneboer Macon Ravenwood, i byens ældste ejendom – spøgelseshuset – og hun er fra første dag dømt ude af det lille samfund. Ethan mærker øjeblikkeligt en stærk forbindelse imellem dem, som han ikke kan forklare eller modstå. De kan læse hinandens tanker og får stærke fortidssyner om en tragisk kærlighed under den amerikanske borgerkrig. Sammen afdækker de en verden i Gatlin, som er langt dybere og farligere, end Ethan i sin vildeste fantasi kunne have forestillet sig. Lena og Ethan er som skabt til hinanden, men der hviler en forbandelse over Lenas skæbne, som vil blive afgjort på hendes sekstenårs fødselsdag – og den nærmer sig. "Giv den her til fans af Stephenie Meyers Twilight [...] eller HBO''s True Blood-serie, og de vil sluge samtlige 600 sider af denne paranormale romance med gotiske træk." – SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL

Der er undergangsstemning i ellers så idylliske Gatlin. Magtbalancen mellem mørke og lys blev ødelagt, efter at Lena nægtede at vælge side, og nu begynder konsekvenserne: Sindssyge hedebølger, ødelæggende storme og græshoppesværme hærger byen, og folk fabler om jordens undergang. Selv de stærkeste castere i Lenas familie oplever, at deres evner bliver påvirket, og det går op for Ethan og Lena, at deres kærlighed har sat gang i et kaos, der er hævet over liv og død. Som tiden går træder ét spørgsmål tydeligere og tydeligere frem: Hvad – eller hvem – må ofres for at redde Gatlin? Samtidig sker der mærkelige ting med Ethan. Pludselig skriver han med venstre hånd og afskyr mad, han ellers elskede. Endnu værre er, at han begynder at glemme ting – navne, telefonnumre og endda begivenheder i fortiden. Det er, som om hans sind er ved at forandre sig. Han ved ikke hvorfor og er også virkelig bange for at finde ud af det. Han hører hele tiden en indre stemme blive ved med at sige: "Jeg venter." Hvem er det, der venter på Ethan, og hvorfor? Nogle gange er der ikke kun ét svar og ét valg. Og nogle gange – denne gang – er der ikke nogen lykkelig slutning.

Ethan y Lena pensaban que ya se habían acostumbrado a los acontecimientos extraños e imposibles que ocurrían en su Gatlin natal. Sin embargo, cuando regresan a casa, las palabras «extraño» e «imposible» adquieren un nuevo significado.

AUF DER SUCHE NACH DEM EIGENEN ICH: Bei einem tragischen Autounfall verliert die 17-jährige Raven ihre Pflegemutter — und ihr Gedächtnis. Nach dem Umzug nach New Orleans zu einer neuen Pflegefamilie muss sie sich nun mehr als nur den Herausforderungen der Highschool stellen. Der Neuanfang ist nicht leicht. Raven erinnert sich zwar an alltägliche Dinge wie Rechenaufgaben oder wie man Nudeln kocht, aber nicht mehr an ihr Lieblingslied oder daran, wer sie vor dem Unfall war. Als mit ihr auf einmal unheimliche Dinge geschehen, kommen ihr Zweifel, ob sie wirklich alles über ihre Vergangenheit wissen möchte. Aber Raven bekommt Unterstützung von ihren neuen Freunden: von ihrer Pflegeschwester Max und von Tommy, einem Jungen, der sie so akzeptiert, wie sie ist. Doch sie muss sich entscheiden, ob sie bereit ist, diese Freundschaften aufs Spiel zu setzen und sich ihrer Vergangenheit zu stellen ... und der Dunkelheit, in ihr wächst. Eine bewegende Geschichte von New-York-Times-Bestsellerautorin Kami Garcia und dem Künstler Gabriel Picolo über Freundschaft, Selbstvertrauen und die Suche nach der eigenen Persönlichkeit

Em seu primeiro romance, Dezesseis luas, Kami Garcia e Margaret Stohl conseguiram um feito invejável: conquistaram o exigente público jovem adulto. Competindo com nomes como Stephanie Meyer e L.J. Smith, respectivamente autoras das sagas Crepúsculo e Diários do vampiro, o livro se tornou febre mundial. Ganhou as telas em superprodução da Disney, foi eleito um dos melhores de 2009 pela Amazon, além de ter ficado semanas na lista do New York Times. Depois do sucesso de Dezessete luas e Dezoito luas, a consagrada série chega ao final com o volume Dezenove luas. A vida toda Ethan quis sair de Gatlin, escapar da mentalidade provinciana de cidade pequena, as encenações de batalha de Guerra Civil... Isso tudo antes de encontrar a garota perfeita, a mulher dos seus sonhos. Sua amada, Lena Duchaness, revelou para ele todo um lado novo da cidade, poderoso, amaldiçoado e escondido. Ela se tornou para Ethan uma âncora, uma casa, um lar. E justamente quando o rapaz não gostaria de ir a lugar algum, ele precisou abandonar tudo. Deixar todos para trás. Foi o preço pago para restabelecer a Ordem das coisas. Inquieto com a possibilidade de ver seus amigos e sua cidade desaparecerem do mapa, Ethan fez o que precisava ser feito para salvá-los. Depois do que aconteceu na torre de água, durante a Décima Oitava Lua, ele acordou do outro lado com apenas um pensamento: retornar. Para Lena. Para seus amigos. Para Amma e seu pai. Tia Marion e as Irmãs. Faria qualquer coisa: confiar em velhos inimigos, arriscar a vida de terceiros, o que restou da minha alma. A vontade de voltar e de reecontrar sua amada era maior que tudo. Para ele, não era possível existir sem Lena. E sabia que ela sentia o mesmo. Enquanto esse turbilhão de emoções o afligia, ela, em Gatlin, tentava ajudá-lo. Juntos, podiam tudo. Será?

Lena Duchannes est poursuivie par une malédiction familiale qui fait d’elle un être surnaturel doté de pouvoirs puissants. Mais, même si elle a réussi à éviter le choix entre Bien et Mal durant la terrible nuit de ses seize ans, Lena est de nouveau confrontée aux forces magiques à l’approche de ses dix-sept ans. Effrayée, elle s’éloigne malgré elle d’Ethan Wate, son petit-ami. Pour la protéger, Ethan va devoir explorer le monde de secrets anciens que cache Gatlin.

In a small southern town with a secret world hidden in plain sight, sixteen-year-old Lena, who possesses supernatural powers and faces a life-altering decision, draws away from her true love, Ethan, a mortal with frightening visions.

While looking through her grandmother Emmaline''s keepsakes, Lena Duchannes comes across a little blue book with a big history--a book that changed Macon Ravenwood''s life and saved Lena''s. When Lena was a baby, Seer and gifted card reader Amma Treaudeau saw a terrifying future in the cards that sent her to Emmaline''s door. When a powerful Dark Caster sets fire to Lena''s house with baby Lena and her father trapped inside, Amma, Emmaline, and Macon vow to protect the child. Lena''s grandmother and her Uncle Macon whisk Lena away, protecting her and moving her to a new place at the first sign of trouble. But a Caster can only hide for so long, and Macon must rely on the teachings in an ancient book to control his Dark nature. Ultimately, it will be his job to protect Lena--and keep her from surrendering to a Dark fate.

Je pensais que rien ne me surprendrait plus. Jamais. Que Lena et moi avions connu le pire, survécu à l''impossible. Mais ces derniers temps, notre bonne vieille bourgade de Gadin est en proie à une série de fléaux dignes de l''Apocalypse. R y a aussi ces cauchemars et ces visions étranges qui ne cessent de me hanter. Et toutes ces choses que j''oublie, ces moments où je ne me reconnais plus moi-même. La malédiction de la lune, les Enchanteurs des Ténèbres, la Garde Suprême : quelle est ma place, à moi, dans tout cela ?

Bienvenidos a Gatlin. Un pueblo en mitad de ninguna parte donde nunca ocurre nada. Al menos eso pensaba yo. No poda estar ms equivocado.
