edit data

Stella grew up in a picturesque little village in lower Franconia (Germany). Later, she spent an entire year and countless holidays in England, which added to her deep love for and undying fascination with Great Britain, the Celtic culture and the English language. Meanwhile, Stella has been living in Switzerland with her cats for over ten years.

To make ends meet (and to be able to afford the daily bread and cat food), Stella currently works as a teacher. She loves music, sweets, tea and coffee in any shape or form. She also has a very soft spot for cats and other animals as well as an deep appreciation for good stories – no matter if they happen in books, songs, movies, computer games, or in real life.

Was ich an diesem Buch sehr mag, ist, dass es die moderne Version eines klassischen Spukhauses ("haunted house") beschreibt, in dem smarte Gadgets die "Geister" sind, die die Protagonistin erschrecken und bedrohen. Trotzdem gab es leider einiges, wom ...more

Whenever I finish a book and feel really angry, it's usually because of the plot, the characters or the final twist that I found underwhelming or disappointing. This book left me angy not because anything was badly crafted, but for the opposite reaso ...more

Really enjoyed this and thought it had a very fitting ending. However ... I could have been more/deeper at points.

I have to admit: I was torn how to rate this. My decision is purely based on my personal taste, others might disagree and I can understand why. The story in this book circles about the quite common question of "What is real?" (or "Who is right?") and ...more
