Ásta Sigurðardóttir (1930-1971) war eine Ausnahmeerscheinung. Schon ihre erste Erzählung 1951, 'Sonntagabend bis Montagmorgen', sorgte für Aufsehen, da sie nicht in die beschauliche isländische Gesellschaft passte. In ihrem Leben, das geprägt war von Liebschaften, Schwangerschaften und Kindern, von Unmengen an Alkohol und unbändigem Schaffensdrang, fand Ásta weder Ruhe noch Frieden. Umso erstaunlicher sind Präzision und Radikalität ihrer Geschichten sowie der sprachliche Glanz ihres Schreibens. Jede der 13 Geschichten, die sie bis zu ihrem frühen Tod verfasst hat, steht wie ein Solitär für sich, strahlt fast unheimliche Souveränität aus. Ihre Figuren zählen nicht zum klassischen Literaturrepertoire, es sind Tagediebinnen, junge Frauen, die sich nicht für ihr sexuelles Begehren schämen, verschüchterte Kinder, einsame gealterte Damen: beschädigte und überforderte Existenzen, getrieben von unstillbarer Sehnsucht. Ásta Sigurðardóttirs Erzählungen ermöglichen einen Blick in alltägliche Abgründe, in Verhärtungen und Vergeblichkeiten sowie in die Brutalität der Verhältnisse. Ihre lauernde Bedrohlichkeit beziehen sie daraus, dass sie Allgegenwärtiges beschreiben, das üblicherweise verdrängt und in seiner Zerstörungskraft unterschätzt wird. Tina Fleckens Übersetzung gelingt es auf eindrucksvolle Weise, die Unmittelbarkeit zu bewahren. Die Erzählungen überwinden sprachliche und zeitliche Distanzen spielend, haben keinerlei Kraft verloren und bohren sich so direkt in uns, wie sie es im Island der 1950er und 1960er Jahre getan haben. 'Streichhölzer' ermöglicht endlich die verspätete Entdeckung einer großen isländischen Autorin.

Wow!
Format: Kindle
This book was awesome! Seraphina and her family have moved to a new town. Her family is a bit... odd. She grew up learning how to protect herself from people who might hurt her. Bloodshed is a daily occurrence with her brothers and parents during their practice sessions, and it’s all fun and games unless you need to hide a body. Sera’s family is very close, and she’s been homeschooled most of her life. But in this new town she is going to start regular school as a senior at the local high school. Unfortunately, things at her school aren’t all they seem to be. Or perhaps more than they seem to be. Sera has her own demons to deal with, and she’s terrified her new friends will learn about her weird family and other issues and drop her like a rock. It turns out they have their own secrets as well. This story ends on a bit of a cliffhanger and I can’t wait to read the next one! This book is well written and well edited. The heroine is spunky and has a great heart and wicked sense of humor.

Great start
Format: Kindle
I loved this book! It's funny but still deals with tough themes, like chronic illness, a serial killer on the loose, and a dash of self-harm. The guys are interesting and distinct, we don't know too much about them yet. It does end on a really terrible cliffhanger but on the bright side the next book is out and I believe the series is complete. I have enjoyed both of these authors separately and this is a great team up!

Fudge!
Format: Kindle
Titles aren’t my strong suit. Sorry not sorry. That ending has me completely frustrated book two isn’t out yet. Just throwing that out there. First thing first, this is a high school book where the lead is under 18. Yea yea she’s about month from being an adult, but I can’t say I would’ve even opened the file if I’d realized. It’s not a smut fest or anything, but there is sexual tension as each party figures out their emotions. That being said, it’s a good book. There are some troubling parts, like how the supes come into their powers at 13, but most of those are dealt with in a way that makes sense. Kian is the exception. His whole arc pisses me off, especially since no one stepped in. Reflecting back on real world situations, ten or so years ago, I can see it happening, but it still makes me sick. Which, I’m sure was the whole damn point. For the most part, Courting Darkness is a fun read. I found myself laughing along with most of the set up. By the time it started getting serious, I’d grown to like the characters enough it held an impact. I’ll be adding book two to my list for when it comes out.

Intriguing
Format: Kindle
An intriguing story that played out slowly while introducing some unique characters. The story became quite fascinating to read as these same characters provided startling revelations to their lives. As their relationships evolve, more drama and mystery is revealed adding to my fascination. I can’t wait to read more.

Outstanding Story!!!!!!!
Format: Kindle
Oh I loved this story. Sera is such an amazing, fun character. She has so much fire inside of herself. She has humor that makes you laugh with her sassy comments. The guys are fantastic. I don’t feel as if we really have gotten to know who and what they are but they are such a mix of fae. The story is extremely well written and developed. It had me pulled in and didn’t let go. There was so much action, drama, and suspense. Then we get to the ending and goodness there is so much going on. This ending was a major cliffhanger and I absolutely can’t wait to see what happens next.
