The night that Heaven lost her heart was cold and moonless. But the blade that sliced it out was warm with her dark blood...
David Pettyfer is taking a shortcut over the dark rooftops of London's brooding houses, when he literally stumbles across Heaven: a strange, beautiful, distraught girl who says that bad men have stolen her heart. Yet she's still alive...
And so begins David and Heaven's wild, exciting and mysterious adventure - to find Heaven's heart, and to discover the incredible truth about her origins.
Part thriller, part love story and part fairy tale, this brilliantly original novel from a bestselling German author will take your breath away...

34 kids missing. Vanished without a trace.
Believing she is possessed, Genie Magee's mother has imprisoned her all summer encouraged by the sinister Reverend Schneider. Beautiful Rian, love of her life, sets her free, and their escape washes them up at Marshall's remote farmhouse downriver. But why are there newspaper clippings of the missing kids pinned to Marshall's bathroom wall? And should they believe his stories about the experiments at the Fortress, an underground research station nearby?
Genie meets Denis. Missing two years now, but hasn't grown an inch. Rian is haunted by Renée, who insists she's not actually dead. Soon they discover the terrible truth about Reverend Schneider and worse, Genie is next ... and Rian can't do a thing to prevent it.
The Repossession is just the beginning.
Heaven: Wow, this sounds incredibly... intriguing, different, fascinating! How does she survive if her heart has been stolen? Who are these bad men? What exactly is this girl and her origins? I cannot wait for this! Love the thriller/love story/fairy tale combination.
The Repossession: Oooh creepy! Where do the kids disappear to? Does the sinister Reverend have anything to do with it? Or Marshall? What exactly is the 'repossession'? So many questions that I'm excited to find the answers to!
What are you waiting on this Wednesday?
I love the sound of The Repossession! Thanks for bringing these two to my attention :)
ReplyDeleteOnce again, two awesome looking books that I've never heard of. *shakes head* I don't know how you do it every week, Brodie.
