Rezension von LisaDas Buch hatte mich von Anfang an. Die Charaktere sind mir sehr schnell ans Herz gewachsen und die Handlung hat mich nicht mehr los gelassen. Sehr düster, teilweise sehr eklig aber wirklich toll
Rezension von Dani LeeAnathema by Keri Lake completely consumed me. I loved every single part of this book—the world-building, the atmosphere, and especially the characters. The story pulled me in from the start and never let go. Each chapter made me want more, to the point where I physically could not put it down. This is one of those books that makes you lose track of time… and sleep. I stayed up way too late telling myself “just one more chapter” until suddenly I was at the end and desperate for more. Dark, immersive, emotional, and addictive! An absolute must-read.
Rezension von AnnaDer Vibe, der Plot, die Charaktere, die Romance - alles 10/10!
Rezension von Настя4,5*
Rezension von vita wirtThis took me by surprise as I enjoyed it throughout the whole book, even though it had a pretty slow start. Definitely a dark gothic fantasy with elements of horror and a complex magic system + world building.
