Jag bara gissar nu, men jag tror inte jag är ensam om att ha en del böcker i hyllan som stått där i evinnerliga tider. Är det inte dags att de där, halvt, bortglömda böckerna får ta lite plats och synas? Jo, det tycker jag. Verkligen. Därför kommer de, en efter en, att dyka upp här varje torsdag under rubriken Hett i hyllan. Lite lagom tvetydigt, eller hur? Vad har du för dolda skatter i hyllan?
Denna bok köpte jag i mars 2021 efter att ha hört mycket gott om den från booktubers med lästips av/om amerikanska urinvånare. Sen undrar jag verkligen varför jag inte har läst den ännu...
Imagine an America very similar to our own. It's got homework, best friends, and pistachio ice cream.
There are some differences. This America has been shaped dramatically by the magic, monsters, knowledge, and legends of its peoples, those Indigenous and those not. Some of these forces are charmingly everyday, like the ability to make an orb of light appear or travel across the world through rings of fungi. But other forces are less charming and should never see the light of day.
Elatsoe lives in this slightly stranger America. She can raise the ghosts of dead animals, a skill passed down through generations of her Lipan Apache family. Her beloved cousin has just been murdered in a town that wants no prying eyes. But she is going to do more than pry. The picture-perfect facade of Willowbee masks gruesome secrets, and she will rely on her wits, skills, and friends to tear off the mask and protect her family.

Undrar just hurdan den här boken kan vara. En slags spänningsroman eller mer fantasiliv?
SvaraRaderaEn fantasydeckare? Jag har oftast väldigt svårt för inblandning av övernaturligt i något som liknar en mordgåta.
SvaraRaderaDen är jättebra! :)
