Un libro (e spero presto una duologia completa) di Katharine Mc Gee che lascia in sospeso, letteralmente, fino all'ultima pagina. Ora sono stracuriosa di leggere il seguito. Insomma uno dei migliori libri letti fino ad ora.
1. The Tower- Il millesimo piano (Titolo originale:The thousandth )
2. (Titolo originale: The Dazzing heights)
Casa editrice: edizpiemme
Trame:
1. The Tower- Il millesimo piano
Manhattan, 2118. New York è diventata una torre di mille piani, ma le persone non sono cambiate: tutti vogliono qualcosa, e tutti hanno qualcosa da perdere. La spregiudicata Leda, che brama una droga che non avrebbe mai dovuto provare e un ragazzo che non avrebbe mai dovuto toccare. La viziata Eris, che dopo aver perso tutto in un istante vuole risalire, ma presto comincerà a chiedersi quale sia veramente il suo posto. L'intraprendente Rylin, che un lavoro ai piani alti trascinerà in un mondo - e in una relazione - mai immaginati: la nuova vita le costerà quella vecchia? Il geniale Watt, che può arrivare ai segreti di ciascuno e, quando viene assunto per spiare una ragazza, si troverà imprigionato in una rete di bugie. E sopra tutti, al millesimo piano del Tower, vive Avery, disegnata geneticamente per essere perfetta. La ragazza che sembra avere ogni cosa, tormentata dall'unica che non dovrebbe nemmeno desiderare...
2. The Dazzing heights
New York City, 2118. A glittering vision of the future, where anything is possible – if you want it enough.
Manhattan is home to a thousand-story supertower, a beacon of futuristic glamour and high-tech luxury… and to millions of people living scandalous, secretive lives. Leda is haunted by nightmares of what happened on the worst night of her life. She’s afraid the truth will get out – which is why she hires Watt, her very own hacker, to keep an eye on all of the witnesses for her. But what happens when their business relationship turns personal? When Rylin receives a scholarship to an elite upper-floor school, her life transforms overnight. But being here also means seeing the boy she loves: the one whose heart she broke, and who broke hers in return. Avery is grappling with the reality of her forbidden romance – is there anywhere in the world that’s safe for them to be together? And then there’s Calliope, the mysterious, bohemian beauty who’s arrived in New York with a devious goal in mind – and too many secrets to count. Here in the Tower, no one is safe – because someone is watching their every move, someone with revenge in mind. After all, in a world of such dazzling heights, you’re always only one step away from a devastating fall…
