Prisoner of Night and Fog (Prisoner of Night and Fog #1) - Anne Blankman In 1930s Munich, danger lurks behind dark corners, and secrets are buried deep within the city. But Gretchen Müller, who grew up in the National Socialist Party under the wing of her "uncle" Dolf, has been shielded from that side of society ever since her father traded his life for Dolf's, and Gretchen is his favorite, his pet.
Uncle Dolf is none other than Adolf Hitler.
And Gretchen follows his every command.
Until she meets a fearless and handsome young Jewish reporter named Daniel Cohen. Gretchen should despise Daniel, yet she can't stop herself from listening to his story: that her father, the adored Nazi martyr, was actually murdered by an unknown comrade. She also can't help the fierce attraction brewing between them, despite everything she's been taught to believe about Jews.
As Gretchen investigates the very people she's always considered friends, she must decide where her loyalties lie. Will she choose the safety of her former life as a Nazi darling, or will she dare to dig up the truth—even if it could get her and Daniel killed?
From debut author Anne Blankman comes this harrowing and evocative story about an ordinary girl faced with the extraordinary decision to give up everything she's ever believed . . . and to trust her own heart instead.
Sixteen-year-old Charlotte and her fellow refugees have scraped out an existence on the edge of Britain’s industrial empire. Though they live by the skin of their teeth they have their health (at least when they can find enough food and avoid the Imperial Labor Gatherers) and each other. When a new exile with no memory of his escape from the coastal cities or even his own name seeks shelter in their camp he brings new dangers with him and secrets about the terrible future that awaits all those who have struggled has to live free of the bonds of the empire’s Machineworks.
The Inventor’s Secret is the first book of a YA steampunk series set in an alternate nineteenth-century North America where the Revolutionary War never took place and the British Empire has expanded into a global juggernaut propelled by marvelous and horrible machinery.

Vill läsa
Frida: Den här veckan är jag mest nyfiken på The Prisonor of Night and Fog och The Inventor's Secret. Speciellt den förstnämnda eftersom jag nyss läste ut The Book Thief och gärna vill läsa något mer som utspelar sig under andra världskriget. Gärna ur en lite annorlunda synvinkel vilket den här verkar vara.
Agnes: Ganska många nya böcker den här veckan men det är bara en bok som jag känner mig intresserad av: The Inventor's Secret. Ju fler recensioner jag läser om den, desto mer vill jag läsa den.
Finast omslag
Frida: Faktiskt inget omslag som jag känner speciellt för den här veckan. Många medelmåttiga/helt okej omslag, men inget som sticker ut eller som är superfint.
Agnes: Jag håller med Frida om att det inte är något omslag som sticker ut den här veckan.
Vill inte läsa
Frida: Till exempel The Last Best Kiss, She is not Invisible och Summer State of Mind.
Agnes: My Not So Super Sweet Life och The Last Best Kiss bland annat.
Fulast omslag
Frida: Meridian. Tyckte omslaget till första boken var förskräckligt och det här var då inte mycket bättre. Nästan precis samma ju!
Agnes: The Art of Secrets. Så tråååkigt...
