Waiting and Translating # 4

"Waiting and Translating" beschäftigt sich mit Büchern, die bald in englischer Sprache erscheinen und die für mich übersetzungswürdige Kandidaten sind!

Diesmal bin ich auf "Hunting Lila" von Sarah Alderson gestoßen. Die Story erinnert mich ein bisschen an "Die dunklen Mächte"-Reihe von Kelley Armstrong, liest sich aber mindestens genauso interessant und es scheint ein Stand-Alone-Roman zu sein :)

Kurzbeschreibung:
17-year-old Lila has two secrets she's prepared to take to the grave. The first is that she can move things just by looking at them. The second is that she's been in love with her brother's best friend, Alex, since forever. After a mugging exposes her unique ability, Lila decides to run to the only people she can trust - her brother and Alex. They live in Southern California where they work for a secret organisation called The Unit, and Lila discovers that the two of them are hunting down the men who murdered her mother five years before. And that they've found them. In a world where nothing and no one is quite as they seem, Lila quickly realises that she is not alone - there are others out there just like her - people with special powers -and her mother's killer is one of them...
