Bøger af Amanda Hocking

Alice har taget hul på et helt nyt kapitel af sit liv. Langsomt er hun ved at lære sin nye krop med alle dens fantastiske evner at kende, men det er også en konstant kamp at holde dens lyster og behov under kontrol. Sammen med Milo og resten af vampyrklanen forsøger hun at etablere en hverdag, men der er opbrud og kaos på mange fronter. Peter er stadig væk, og i Minneapolis hører de mærkelige og skræmmende rygter om ham. Mae har sit at slås med, og der er ikke megen hjælp at hente fra hverken Ezra eller resten af klanen, og endelig er Alices veninde, Jane, ude på et seriøst skråplan, der trækker Alice og Milo tilbage til det liv, som de troede, de have ladt bag sig. Det hele bliver kun mere kompliceret af, at nogen uden hæmninger og med alt for mange lig på samvittigheden har et regnskab, der skal gøres op.

Netop som Alice tror, at hun har fået styr på sit liv og fundet en god balance mellem den nye og fascinerende vampyrverden og den mere normale virkelighed sammen med sin lillebror, Milo, indtræffer et tragisk uheld, som forandrer alt. Jacks familie må indstille sig på en helt ny situation, som ingen havde regnet med, og for Alice – ja, for Alice er det intet mindre end en katastrofe. Hendes liv falder fuldstændig fra hinanden, og Jack, som ellers sådan næsten officielt var blevet hendes kæreste, trækker sig tilbage fra hende og har dårligt tid til at svare på sms’er. Og hvad Peter, Jacks bror, angår, så ved Alice ikke engang, hvor han er. Eller hvornår han vender tilbage, hvilket meget vel kan vise sig at blive fatalt, for hvordan vil Peter reagere, når han finder ud af, at Jack og Alice ikke har respekteret hans ufravigelige krav på Alices blod? Men som Alice meget snart vil finde ud af, er der også andre vampyrer, som hun bør være bekymret for ..."Blodets bånd" er en fantasyserie, der kredser om kærlighed og venskab blandt vampyrer og helt almindelige mennesker.Amanda Hocking (f. 1984) er en amerikansk forfatter, der skriver romantiske fantasyromaner for unge. Hun begyndte allerede i en tidlig alder at skrive i sin fritid, og fra 2010 udgav hun selv en del af sine bøger som e-bøger.

Som så mange andre teenagere dribler 17-årige Alice omkring og prøver at klare sig nogenlunde gennem highschool, mens hun halvhjertet fordriver tid med sin veninde, Jane, og med noget mere overbevisning tager sig af sin lillebror, Milo. Alices liv skifter fuldstændig kurs, da hun en aften møder den sjove og charmerende Jack. Alice forstår ikke helt, hvad det er ved Jack, som gør ham så tiltrækkende, og heller ikke hans besynderlige livsstil, men de bliver hurtigt venner. Og måske også lidt mere end det … I hvert fald indtil hun møder Jacks bror, Peter. Et enkelt blik fra Peter er nok til at indfange Alice fuldstændig, og hun kan slet ikke tænke klart, når han er i nærheden. Og det til trods for, at han tydeligvis ikke kan fordrage hende eller ønsker hende i nærheden.Alice er klar over, at Jack og Peter og deres familie ikke er som alle andre. Men præcis hvad der er med dem, er hun ikke klar over. Heller ikke hvor stor en rolle hun kommer til at spille for familiens fremtid – fanget som hun er mellem to brødre, der hver især gør krav på hende …
