Maya Banks: The Darkest Hour

Az alaptörténet nagyon jó, a nyomozási rész is tetszett. De ami a legjobb volt benne, az az ahogy bemutatta az érzelmeket és azt, hogy mennyire ijesztő tud az lenni, ha valaki elvesztette az emlékeit. Romantikus, érdekes, izgalmas, talán Maya Banks eddigi legjobb könyve.

Maya Banks: The Darkest Hour

Angolul is ugyanolyan jó a történet, mint magyarul. Csak azért olvastam el az eredeti nyelven is, hogy rá tudjak hangolódni a történet többi részére,

“Sam should be making his appearance soon,” Garrett said. “He got snagged on his way out. We all left Ethan on his own fielding questions. Poor bastard.”
“Oh,” Rachel said. “Maybe I should go back in. I didn’t intend for him to get stuck answering questions about me all night.”
Garrett shook his head. “Not to worry. He deserves it for the time he sicced Aunt Edna on me at Thanksgiving. The woman talked my ear off for damn near an hour while Ethan made his escape. The rest of the bastards stood outside the window and laughed their asses off at me.”

“Do you think your mom would mind if we left?”
Her voice sounded husky, and she swallowed the butterflies that danced in her stomach and surged upward as if chasing an escape route.
“If you leave now, she won’t know until it’s too late,” Garrett smirked.
“Good point,” Sean said.
Ethan shook his head and reached for Rachel’s hand. “They’re right. We can sneak around front, and if no one’s blocked us in, we can be gone before anyone sounds the alarm. And they will. Sound the alarm that is. I’m sure Garrett hasn’t forgotten the Aunt Edna incident.”
“If it weren’t for the fact that Rachel wants to go, I’d have already blown the whistle on your ass,” Garrett said in disgust.
Ethan pulled her up to stand beside him and chucked her chin. “I suggest we go now before he changes his mind.”

“It was a stupid stunt. She should have known better,” Garrett growled.
“She’s a kid,” Nathan said in her defense. “A scared, strung-out kid who’s never had anyone give a damn about her. Cut her some slack. We all did some pretty stupid shit when we were her age.”
“Speak for yourself,” Joe said mockingly. “I was an angel.”

Ethan’s lips twitched and he glanced sideways at Donovan. “You mean I get to touch Hoss?”
He relaxed the slightest bit. He had every faith in Sam and KGI. They employed some of the brightest military minds in the world. They could do this. Soon. Rachel would be home. Soon. Donovan grunted. “No. I’ll do the touching. You just sit and watch. I don’t want you fucking with my computer.”
“That’s as close as he gets to a love affair,” Sam muttered. “I think he came in his pants when we got the thing.”
“Ha ha. You’re such a comedian,” Donovan said as he flipped Sam off.

Sam shook his head. “Why is it Nathan and Joe showed the only good sense among my brothers and followed my example of joining the army?”
“They’re the dumb ones,” Ethan said.
“Yeah well, what’s your excuse?” Garrett demanded. “Donovan and I set such a good example for you with the marines. But no, you had to go be a navy boy. Although you look damn pretty in the little sailor suit.”

He ducked underneath again, and the next thing she knew, she was being lifted in the air.
She laughed as he held her high out of the water while treading water.
„How on earth are you able to do that?”
He dropped her with a splash, and when she came up, he gathered her close.
„I'm a SEAL, remember? We do the impossible, and we do it in the water.”

„You two having fun?”
Rachel looked toward the dock to see Sam standing there at the end, watching them with amused eyes. Today she couldn't remember why she was so guarded around him, and she let her good mood take over.
„Come in,” she said with a wave. „The water's not too cold.”
„I know exactly how damn cold--”
He was cut off midsentence when he pitched forward into the water. Rachel stared in shock as Garrett doubled over laughing from the end of the dock where he'd shoved Sam over.
Sam came up sputtering, and he turned with a shout in Garrett's direction. „You son of a bitch! I'll get you for this. Kelly motto number two. Don't get mad, get even,” Garrett just howled louder. Donovan ambled behind him and gave both brothers a curious look.
„Dude, it's better to wear swimming trunks. Getting wet jeans off is a bitch.”
„Oh fuck you, Van,” Sam grumbled.
