A brilliant, obsessive mind is the heart of Sebastian Seaver’s genius. It might also be the thing that costs him everything he’s created and everyone he’s ever loved. Consumed with the need to destroy Alexei Stornovich, the Russian mob boss who murdered his fiancée and parents, nothing can turn Bas from his plans of revenge until he’s eradicated every last one of them. By any means necessary, and at any cost.
Drew McMann learned early that the key to success is control. Control carried him through law school and helped him keep Seaver Tech together through tragedy. It helped him survive the brutal murder of his sister Amy, his parents’ divorce, and the revelation that the seeds of their destruction had been planted by someone he had considered family. It’s how he’s hidden his love from his best friend Bas for more than half their lives. And now it’s how he’s going save Bas from himself and finally get his family of friends free from Alexei’s clutches. Drew has a plan for everything… Until the kiss.
When Drew loses control one reckless, drunken evening and his true feelings for Bas are revealed, he tries desperately to contain the damage and keep their friendship on track, even as decades of lies and half-truths seek to tear them apart. With Alexei targeting them and their friends, Drew and Bas are forced to rely on each other more than ever. But as danger closes in on them, can they sacrifice their needs for logic and control, and recognize that the only right way to move forward is the one in which they’re together?
Jeg ved ikke helt, hvad det var med denne serie, men den fangede mig ikke for alvor. Den var god nok til, at jeg læste hele serien, men det var ikke en serie jeg bare slugte
Siden d. 4. august 1996 har jeg skrevet ned hver gang jeg har læst en bog, og er startet forfra med nr 1 hver den 4. august. Da det efterhånden er ved at være en del notesbøger, har jeg besluttet, at fra d. 4. august 2008 går over til blog i stedet for notesbog

Camden Seaver had it easy - a loving family, plenty of money, and the freedom to follow his dreams while his older brother, Sebastian, took charge of the family business. But when a tragic plane crash killed his parents, all the responsibilities he never wanted landed firmly on his shoulders. Now saddled with his crazy, grief-stricken brother and his dad’s multimillion dollar company, Cam doesn’t trust in dreams anymore. He’s forgotten what “easy” feels like.
FBI Agent Kendrick “Cort” Cortland learned the hard way that he couldn’t depend on anyone but himself. Before joining the FBI, the one constant in his life was his foster brother, Damon - and then Damon disappeared. Now, Cort is determined to find his brother and to bring down the man responsible for ruining Damon’s life, Sebastian Seaver. He’s got nothing left to lose.
When Cort’s investigation leads him to Seaver Tech...and Camden Seaver...what started as a quest for revenge and a one-night deception quickly turns into far more than either man bargained for. But how can either man trust in something that seems so easy? As long-held secrets are revealed, the attraction between Cam and Cort becomes combustible - an undeniable love that will either make or destroy them. Will Cam and Cort let their conflicting loyalties drive them apart? Or will they decide that sometimes love is the easy way?

Tobias og vennen Victor går en tur i skoven for
at komme på afstand af Simon og hans evindelige mobberi. I skoven morer de sig
med at tage skøre fotos, hvor det ser ud som om de løfter tunge træer. Da de
senere kigger på billederne af Tobias, opdager de en underlig, tåget skikkelse
med utydeligt ansigt i baggrunden. Han optræder på alle billeder. Senere tager
Tobias alene ud i skoven, hvor han møder den underlige skikkelse, Slenderman.
Tobias indgår en pagt med Slenderman - Slendermann lover at hjælpe Tobias med
Simon, men han skal gøre noget farligt til gengæld.
Superuhyggelig
historie på den uforklarlige måde, hvor det mest af alt er den underliggende,
truende stemning, som er skræmmende. Den åbne slutning er åben for fortolkning
- og god at diskutere med hinanden.
Jeg er meget dårlig til gys, så jeg syntes virkelig den var uhyggelig, men det tror jeg nu også, at gyserelskere vel syntes.
Meget let at læse, men det går ikke ud over gyset

Som mange af forfatterens andre bøger er den velskreven. Jeg blev hurtigt fanget ind af handlingen. Jeg havde ikke regnet afslutningen, så det var dejligt overraskende.
Jeg læste den som forberedelse til bokstalks for ældstetrinet.
Emilie tager med klassen på studietur til Grønland. Med i bagagen har hun sin bedste vens selvmord. Men hvorfor begynder hun at se hans genfærd, og hvorfor fortsætter folk med at dø omkring hende?

Justin made the ultimate sacrifice for his country, battling domestic terrorism, never the man he really was, using hate to avenge the death of his best friend. The friend he'd killed.
What he doesn’t count on is getting shot, and if he's going to die he wants it to be on Crooked Tree soil. Home.
Sam is as much a part of Crooked Tree as any of the families, and the offer to buy into the ranch is a dream come true. But falling for a hidden, secretive, injured man isn’t the way to keep his head in the game

Elliot is tracking an elusive killer, codenamed Ghost, with ties to organized crime. Every time the Sanctuary team gets close, Ghost slips their grasp.
Cole has nowhere left to turn. With his father dying and his sister in danger, he turns for help to the very people trying to track him down. Sanctuary’s assistance is what he needs to punch another hole in Varga’s organization.
When Elliot and Cole meet, it isn’t just passion that consumes them. When lust becomes something more, Elliot realizes that sometimes you can’t hold on to a ghost, and that sacrifice is often the only way to make things right.
Serien fortsætter stadig godt. Jeg fandt hævn/sonemotivet ret interessant

One dead girl, one scared witness, and two men trained as Navy SEALs. Whether searching for justice or revenge, the final showdown between them is the same.... explosive!
Dale MacIntyre, former Navy SEAL, works for Sanctuary. He's the acting handler for a member of the Bullen familys inner circle. He is close to obtaining the evidence he needs to prove Elisabeth Costains death was ordered by them... until someone gets in his way.
Joseph Kinnon, active Navy SEAL, is back on US soil for the first time in months, and he is told the tragic news that his stepsister is dead, gunned down in an alley by an unknown assailant. He is determined to find out who murdered her... until someone gets in his way.
They both want the same thing but have different methods of accomplishing their goals. They both want the Bullen family brought to account, but one wants justice and the other wants revenge.
What happens between them, however, has nothing to do with either.
Som resten af serien. Bøgerne i denne serie og i Heroes er egentlig ikke særlig lange, men forfatteren formår alligevel at give nogle ordentligt formede karakterer samtidig med, at der er crime/action. Den overordnede sag mod Bullen familien kører over de første 7 bøger i serien. Hver bog tilføjer nogle nye aktører til historien eller aktører kun tidligere nævnt i tidligere bøger får deres egen bog og egen historie. Det fungerer ret godt, da der for hver bog bliver tilføjet nyt til personerne. Man lærer dem bedre og bedre at kende og forstår mere og mere, hvordan tingene hænger sammen

blev læst til læseklub i juli måned, men jeg glemte bare at få den herind.
Mathilda Wiik er sekretær hos advokaten Claus Thune. En dag hører hun en stemme på advokatkontoret, som vækker ubehagelige minder hos hende. Hvordan kan hun tage hævn?
En rigtig interessant bog. Jeg kendte ikke noget som helst til den finske borgerkrig før denne bog.
Rigtig gode personbeskrivelse, hvor der bliver brugt en del antydninger, så alt ikke bliver forklaret fra starten af. Personerne kravler lige så langsomt ind på en.

Mikkel går i 7. klasse og er med til at mobbe den grønlandske dreng Inuk, men en tupilak i skikkelse af en glubsk slædehund spreder død og rædsel, indtil han indser at mobning er forkert.
Fra min anden blog Atuaruk / Læs:
En kort virkningsfuld gyserhistorie. Jeg er normalt ikke til gysere, men dem beregnet til børn kan jeg lige klare. Det at jeg ikke selv er så begejstret for hunde gjorde nok Tupilak lidt ekstra uhyggelig for mig.
Inuk er ikke så meget med i historien. Kun lige i starten, men han er alligevel en vigtig del af historien, da han er katalysatoren for det hele. Det er gennem ham, at tupilakken bliver startskuddet for gyset.
Det grønlandske i historien giver lidt ekstra til en ellers almindelig og lige ud af landevejen gyserhistorie. Tupilakken bliver brugt på en rigtig og effektiv måde.
