Patrick está cansado das celebrações do bicentenário americano, da irritação das famílias dos doentes, das erupções cutâneas dos campistas que descem da montanha pedrados com speed e das chamadas à meia-noite para substituir o veterinário da cidade. Quando a esposa, Susanne, se balda à viagem, no preciso instante em que estão a sair pela porta - deixando-o ir sozinho com Trish, a filha adolescente e apaixonada, e Perry, o filho entusiástico mas adolescente -, Patrick fica magoado mas continua determinado a ir, apesar da notícia de um homicida em fuga da prisão, do outro lado da montanha. Passados dois dias à chuva, a cavalo, para caçar e pescar, Patrick não tem mais do que encontros estranhos, meias molhadas e uma filha rabugenta. No terceiro dia, Patrick fica secretamente aliviado quando Trish implora para ficar no acampamento a ler. Entretanto, de volta à cidade, também Susanne passou um mau bocado. Um assalto, um acidente e uma premonição de que se passa alguma coisa terrivelmente grave com a família dela. Incapaz de ignorar os seus medos cada vez maiores, Susanne recruta a ajuda da vizinha com a dureza do Wyoming, e as duas mulheres fazem-se à montanha. Quando Patrick e Perry regressam ao acampamento, Trish desapareceu, juntamente com os cavalos, o camião e o atrelado. As pistas são contraditórias. Terá Trish fugido com o rapaz cujo bilhete Patrick encontrara no acampamento? Ou terá sido raptada - como sugerem as marcas dos cascos sobre a tenda destruída? O que quer que tenha acontecido, as marcas vão em direção à montanha, não para fora dela. Sem tempo para esperar que chegue ajuda antes de o rasto de Trish desaparecer, Patrick e Perry embarcam numa aventura desesperada no meio da natureza, para a encontrar, seguidos de perto por Susanne. «Contracurva» é o primeiro livro da nova série de entusiasmantes mistérios de Patrick Flint, um spin-off da saga What Doesn't Kill You. Disponível em formato digital, livro de capa mole, de capa dura, com letra aumentada e audiolivro. Compre «Contracurva» para viver hoje este eletrizante mistério!

My characters are based loosely in mythology with some kick-butt mythical creatures such as demons, witches, and fey-like beings. Since they’re all from different planets, I suppose they’d be considered aliens.Each book focuses on the relationship of the hero and heroine and the trust they must build with one another. The connection they form is a slow-burn at first, and then turns combustible. I play with the fated mates theme, but the conflict and mistrust keeps things interesting. Ultimately love wins out in the end, if they can survive the journey.Q - What order should I read the books in?Each book can be read in any order and the reader can still follow along, but for the full experience, I suggest the following sequence:The Demon's PossessionThe Demon SlaveThe De ungekürzt.

    Now I Rise , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 805min
    The highly anticipated, mind-blowing sequel to Kiersten White's New York Times best-seller, And I Darken - the series that reads like HBO's Game of Thrones...if it were set in the Ottoman Empire. Fans of Victoria Aveyard's Red Queen and Sabaa Tahir's A Torch Against the Night won't want to miss this riveting and gorgeously written novel - the second in the trilogy. Lada Dracul has no allies. No throne. All she has is what she's always had: herself. After failing to secure the Wallachian throne, Lada is out to punish anyone who dares to cross her blood-strewn path. Filled with a white-hot rage, she storms the countryside with her men, accompanied by her childhood friend Bogdan, terrorizing the land. But brute force isn't getting Lada what she wants. And thinking of Mehmed brings little comfort to her thorny heart. There's no time to wonder whether he still thinks about her, even loves her. She left him before he could leave her. What Lada needs is her younger brother Radu's subtlety and skill. But Mehmed has sent him to Constantinople - and it's no diplomatic mission. Mehmed wants control of the city, and Radu has earned an unwanted place as a double-crossing spy behind enemy lines. Radu longs for his sister's fierce confidence - but for the first time in his life, he rejects her unexpected plea for help. Torn between loyalties to faith, to the Ottomans, and to Mehmed, he knows he owes Lada nothing. If she dies, he could never forgive himself - but if he fails in Constantinople, will Mehmed ever forgive him? As nations fall around them, the Dracul siblings must decide: What will they sacrifice to fulfill their destinies? Empires will topple, thrones will be won...and souls will be lost. ungekürzt.

    And I Darken , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 807min
    This vividly rendered novel is like HBO's Game of Thrones if it were set in the Ottoman Empire. Ambitious in scope and intimate in execution, the story's atmospheric setting is rife with political intrigue, with a deftly plotted narrative driven by fiercely passionate characters. Fans of Victoria Aveyard's The Red Queen, Kristin Cashore's Graceling, and Sabaa Tahir's An Ember in the Ashes won't want to miss this visceral, immersive, and mesmerizing novel, the first in a trilogy. No one expects a princess to be brutal. And Lada Dragwlya likes it that way. Ever since she and her gentle younger brother, Radu, were wrenched from their homeland of Wallachia and abandoned by their father to be raised in the Ottoman courts, Lada has known that being ruthless is the key to survival. She and Radu are doomed to act as pawns in a vicious game, an unseen sword hovering over their every move. For the lineage that makes them special also makes them targets. Lada despises the Ottomans and bides her time, planning her vengeance for the day when she can return to Wallachia and claim her birthright. Radu longs only for a place where he feels safe. And when they meet Mehmed, the defiant and lonely son of the sultan, who's expected to rule a nation, Radu feels that he's made a true friend - and Lada wonders if she's finally found someone worthy of her passion. But Mehmed is heir to the very empire that Lada has sworn to fight against - and that Radu now considers home. Together, Lada, Radu, and Mehmed form a toxic triangle that strains the bonds of love and loyalty to the breaking point. From New York Times best-selling author Kiersten White comes the first book in a dark, sweeping new series in which heads will roll, bodies will be impaled, and hearts will be broken. ungekürzt.
