Alex Flinn Knihy

Nick je jedním z vyvolených. Studuje vysokou školu, je inteligentní, oblíbený, bohatý. Lidé si myslí, jak snadný má život. Až na jednu věc. Nick nikdy nikomu neřekl o otcově násilnické povaze. Když se Nick setká s Caitlin, myslí si, že se všechny jeho problémy vyřeší. Caitlin má všechno, co Nick kdy chtěl - je krásná, talentovaná a miluje ho. Najednou se všechno změní. Nick se musí smířit s tím, že mu jeho otec dal víc než jen zelené oči a peníze. V trýznivé cestě sebeobjevování se Nick dozví pravdu o sobě samém – věta „jaký otec, takový syn“ v sobě může skrývat i cosi děsivého.

Jsem netvor. Zvíře. Ne vlk nebo medvěd, gorila nebo pes, ale odporná stvůra, která chodí vzpřímeně. Jsem zrůda. Myslíte si, že vám vyprávím pohádky? Mýlíte se. Vše je skutečné. Místo - New York City. Čas - současnost. Nejsem znetvořený, není to nemoc. Budu takový navždy, jestli neprolomím kletbu. Ano, kletbu, kterou na mě uvrhla ve škole čarodějka. Proč mě proměnila v netvora, který se ve dne skrývá a v noci se vydává na lov? Řeknu vám to. Řeknu vám, jak jsem byl Kylem Kingsburym, klukem, jakým byste si přáli být, s penězi, perfektním vzhledem a perfektním životem. A potom vám řeknu, jak jsem se stal perfektním… netvorem. 1. vydání. -- zdroj: legie.info --

A vzhledem ke svým schopnostem chci ostatním pomáhat. Ne vždycky to ale vyjde. Jenže právě teď potřebuje moji pomoc dívka jménem Emma…

Někdy se blog stane tím jediným místem, kde se můžete bez obav svěřit se vším, co vás trápí. Tak to aspoň dělám já. Podle ostatních jsem prý skvělá, talentovaná, prostě okouzlující, ale já si tak rozhodně nepřipadám, spíš naopak. Jsem průměrná roztleskávačka, která má za sebou totálně nepovedený vztah s klukem, co lítal z problému do problému. Navíc ty moje věčné diety končící pokaždé stejně – jojo efektem. A pak se to stalo – dostala jsem se na vysněnou uměleckou střední v Miami! Všechno se může změnit k lepšímu, ale jak mám přesvědčit svou matku, že zpívání je to jediné, co mě v životě opravdu baví?
