"An meinem sechzehnten Geburtstag zog ich dann ins Internat", heißt es am Schluss von Helga M. Novaks Buch "Die Eisheiligen" (1979). Zurück bleiben die Adoptiveltern Kaltesophie und Karl. Das junge Mädchen sucht und findet im zweiten Band ihrer autobiographischen Prosa "Vogel federlos" (1982) in der neuen sozialistischen Gesellschaft der DDR ihre Ersatzfamilie. Doch auch diese Familie hält nicht, was sie verspricht. Enthusiastisch beginnt Helga M. Novak 1954 ein Journalismus-Studium, fühlt sich jedoch schon bald wie ein Tier im Schwanenhals, der tödlichen Jagdfalle, aus der man sichnicht befreien kann. Als die Stasi sie verpflichtet, ihre Kommilitonen zu bespitzeln, tritt sie aus der Partei aus und wird exmatrikuliert. Ende 1957 flieht sie mit ihrem isländischen Freund nach Island, schreibt, arbeitet in Fischfabriken und kehrt erst 1965 nach Leipzig zurück. Am Johannes R. Becher-Institut versucht sie einen Neuanfang,doch eine wie sie ist unerwünscht. Lange vor Wolf Biermann wird Helga M. Novak aus der DDR ausgewiesen. Staatenlos führt sie ein unstetes Leben, das sie quer durch Europa führt. Ihre Bücher wurden in der DDR nicht veröffentlicht; ihreGedichte findet man dort nur als Abschrift in den Akten der Staatssicherheit."

very cute!
Format: Kindle
This is my first read from this author. The story was very cute with some angsty moments. I loved the way the different MMCs helped the FMC as she recovered from the trauma she endured. It was a great way to highlight their personalities!

Touching OV
Format: Kindle
Really wonderful book. It starts heavy, and slowly lightens up. Some reviews have talked about the FMC not reacting to trauma in a believable way, but her boundless optimism was what she turns to. There is no one, correct way of dealing with trauma, so it didn't come off as flippant. It's a slow burn, with spice coming in the 2nd half of the book. A good read.

cute, wish there was more character growth but definitely sweet
Format: Kindle
Serenity was abused by her parents when she presented as an omega and sold off to someone who starved, assaulted and made her do questionable things while he waited for her heat to come. In a desperate attempt at getting free she was able to run away and was hit with a pack who ended up being a scent match. While this story was sweet I wanted to see some development of Serenity and Remy’s characters. Serenity was abused and forced to do things from an alpha’s bark, I wanted to see her growth from that but it was basically night and day. Same with Remy, he just miraculously had an aha moment and that was it. Overall a sweet story.

so engaging
Format: Kindle
Start to finish, I was hooked. The imagery, the emotion, the drama, and the real world application all linked perfectly together with the healing power of love, and compassion. If you never give up hope, all things will work out in your favor. Thanks Serenity for being so strong and resilient. Thanks AJ Shirley for your amazing work. On to book two!

Fun, Easy Read
Format: Kindle
A really fun, easy read! The main character was really likeable, and the male main characters were engaging and fun. Is this book going to change your life or reinvent literature? No. Is it an enjoyable read free from distracting errors that I plowed through in an afternoon? Yes. On to book two!
