Reviewed by MariaNever Keep hat mich am Anfang etwas zappeln lassen, weil der Plotaufbau sehr langsam und fast schon langatmig war. Aber genau dieser langsame Einstieg hat am Ende irgendwie doch seinen Zweck erfüllt, da das letzte Drittel des Buches so emotional war, dass ich das Buch nicht mehr weglegen konnte. Ich habe mitgefiebert, mitgefühlt und war im Geschehen mittendrin. Typisch für die Autorinnen! Jetzt bin ich super gespannt, wie es in Band 2 weitergeht. Also: Wer eine Geschichte sucht, die sich langsam entfaltet, um dann richtig loszulegen, ist hier genau richtig.
