T.M. Frazier

Dies ist nun der 8. Teil der King - Reihe

Im Klappentext steht, man könne das Buch lesen ohne die anderen Teile zu kennen. JA kann man - Aber man verpasst trotzdem etwas. Nämlich das Vergnügen eine ganz tolle Reihe zu lesen!

Da mir die Reihe UND die Autorin ausserordentlich gut gefallen, habe ich mir noch zwei Teile auf deutsch besorgt. Einfach um zu sehen wie es übersetzt klingt.

Fazit : nicht schlecht

Aber ich empfehle die Bücher auf englisch zu lesen. Es macht einfach mehr Spass!

SMOKE's Charakter gefällt mir sehr gut. Obwohl er sehr düster ist, kann man sich sehr gut mit ihm identifizieren. Die ganze Story ist auch düsterer als die anderen Teile. Wer aber die Autorin kennt, sollte nicht überrascht sein. FRANKIE fand ich etwas lasch, aber sonst in Ordnung. Es kommen einige Personen vor, die man von anderen Bänden kennt. Wie gesagt kann man das Buch aber auch so lesen, ohne Vorkenntnisse. Trotz fünf Sternen fand ich diesen Teil etwas langatmiger als die anderen...

Wer hier eine romantische Blümchenstory sucht, ist definiv nicht die gesuchte Zielgruppe.Wobei das Cover schon vermuten lässt,dass es etwas härter zu und her geht.Liebe ist zwar im weitesten Sinne Teil der Story.Aber eben nur im weitesten Sinne... Die Sprache ist sehr obszön,aber niemals billig!Und jaaaa...ich finde da gibt es doch einen Unterschied😏.Die Story ist unglaublich gut und es gibt nicht einen Augenblick lang,langweilige Hänger.Die Ereignisse überschlagen sich und es geht weiter und weiter...Die Protagonisten sind willenstark und versinken nicht in Mitleid weil ihnen Schreckliches widerfahren ist.Das hat mir wirklich sehr gut gefallen!Ich mag auch romantische Liebesgeschichten.Aber zur Abwechslung ist dieses Buch wirklich der Hammer😁.Mir jedenfalls hat es so gut gefallen,dass ich auch noch weitere Bücher der Autorin gekauft und gelesen habe! Für den Inhalt kann man hier noch weiterlesen...KLAPPENTEXT : 📖 The story of Jake and Abby Homeless,sleeping in a junkyard,and on the run from a system that has failed her over and over again,Abby meets Jake,a tattooed blue-eyed biker with secrets that rival her own.Two broken souls that can‘t be ehaled,they can‘t be saved. Abby and Jake have to decide if they can accept the darkness not only within one another,but within themselves. If they can accept each other for who they really are they might learn that love isn‘t always found in the light... WARNING : This is NOT your typical romance.

The End :(

I don´t know how to start. I just know that I want more :P

Those characters became so close to me. Like I was part of their family as well. I´m glad TM Frazier says "Never say never" to writing more books regarding this series, but still- it was a bittersweet ending and although I have still "All the Rage" and "The Dark Light" books left, I know I´ll miss those characters.

I´m not sure why exactly it was, maybe because I had a 2- day pause between reading Preppy 2 and 3, but somehow part 3 wasn´t as good as part 2. There was so much happening but at the same time nothing really happened. Like- something happened and then right on the next page it was done. And then: Next. But in general- all the questions I had after reading Preppy 2 were answered which was kinda funny to me. Felt like TM Frazier read my review to Preppy 2 and was working the answers into the story ;).

This book had me on edge for a while. While reading, it often seemed like Dre was talking in the past. Like she´s talking about them, their story. It also seemed like she´s saying goodbye. So I was constantly like : "No. Can´t be. Preppy can´t die again. Dre can´t die. nobody can die. She (TM Frazier) can´t kill anyone here. No way. Why the hell is this written like a goodbye? I don´t want anyone gone" :D Well. I won´t spoiler here, but let´s just say I´m happy with the ending, even though I shed a few tears ;)

Kevin was a good character. Loved how TM Frazier has written him. It was difficult to figure him and his intentions out as Preppy was pro Kevin while Dre was more contra Kevin. I couldn´t decide whether I wanted him to be the nice guy or the one who was the threat to the family.

I was confused a little bit when it came to who threatened them for several reasons.  SPOILER START Preppy said somewhen at the beginning that it couldn´t be Eric as he´s dead. To me it seemed like Preppy was 100% sure that he was dead. Like he´s seen the dead body. So this was first what confused me. And then later when it came to revealing who was kidnapping Dre, it was kinda weird. The Jesus thing is funny. I don´t believe in God so yeah.. I don´t mind sth like that. But he had a new name. He was talking with Dre. He was close to her. And he just told her that the only thing he´s done is to become clean. But in this case she must have recognized him anyway. At least if he hadn´t had a beauty-op. I´ve seen lot´s of pictures of pre-use, use and after use druggies in the internet. They looked different, sure, but never like another human being. Therefore this was totally confusing me. Also how was he able to enter King´s s/Preppy´s house? I doubt he was invited to the wedding and there surely was security.hmm  SPOILER END

I almost loved everything related to Preppy.
