The polished metal stakes strapped to my thighs have pierced the hearts of so many vampires I’ve lost count. And after five years, I still haven’t found him - the vamp with one blue eye and one brown. The one who slaughtered my mother and left me, a child, to sit screaming in a pool of her still-warm blood. With any luck, he’ll come to me. You see, I’ve made something of a name for myself with my trade. It seems more and more of the bloodsucking bastards seek to find me every day. Each of them wanting to be the one to say they plucked the Black Rose.

Most people have endless negative chatter in their minds. And this is what blocks them from manifesting their true desires. What good is it if you spend an hour a day, say scripting, affirming, visualizing (or any LOA method), if the vast majority of the time you’re awake every day you’ve got negative self-talk going on inside you? You don’t manifest what you want. You manifest who you are and what you hold within you.

I’ve been captured. Don’t even get me started on how pissed off I am. My rage is raging. Azrael is the most powerful vampire I’ve ever encountered, and I hate knowing I can’t beat him. He’s brought me to this creepy cave because he thinks he can synthesize a cure for vampirism from my pure Vocari blood. I think he’s insane.

After the shitstorm in the streets of Baton Rouge, one thing has become startlingly clear: I’m not safe, and as long as I’m still breathing, I may never be.

Our lives are fused together now, for better or worse. Even unto death.

But that’s not all—apparently, I’m also mated. It’s like a part of my soul has been sucked out, cleaved in two, and deposited into Jared and Clay. The strange otherworldly force tying us together is all but impossible to ignore. I try my best, though. At least until other packs catch wind of the new wolf in Forest Grove. The one who has not yet chosen her pack.

In vier schillernden »personal essays« schreibt Elena Ferrante darüber, wie sie Leserin geworden ist und wie Autorin, welche Kämpfe sie austragen musste und austrägt und welchen ihrer Instinkte sie beim Schreiben folgt. Es geht um Einflüsse und Vorbilder, um Jane Austen, Emily Dickinson, Elsa Morante, Gertrude Stein, Ingeborg Bachmann und um die Frage, wie es gelingt, über die Menschen zu schreiben und über die Welt, sozusagen wirklichkeitsgetreu – und was das eigentlich heißen kann: weibliches Schreiben.

I thought I had it bad—living in my dead Dad’s old hunting blind in the woods, staying alive on apples and ramen…that was before the storm hit and destroyed the only form of shelter I had left. Enter, Jared. The hottest—and most unavailable—guy at school. Except he wasn’t Jared when he pulled me out of the mud. He wasn’t even human. As if that wasn’t unsettling enough, when he brought me back to his cabin, I found he wasn’t alone. Another guy, one I’d only ever heard about in whispers, was there too. Clayton Armstrong: bad boy extraordinaire. And it turned out, he wasn’t human either.
