Susan Elizabeth Phillips: Heroes Are My Weakness

The dead of winter.

An isolated island off the coast of Maine.

A man.

A woman.

A sinister house looming over the sea …

He's a reclusive writer whose macabre imagination creates chilling horror novels. She's a down-on-her-luck actress reduced to staging kids' puppet shows. He knows a dozen ways to kill with his bare hands. She knows a dozen ways to kill with laughs.

But she's not laughing now. When she was a teenager, he terrified her. Now they're trapped together on a snowy island off the coast of Maine. Is he the villain she remembers or has he changed? Her head says no. Her heart says yes.

It's going to be a long, hot winter.

Susan Elizabeth Phillips: Heroes Are My Weakness

Nem tudom, ti hogy vagytok vele, de ha beteg vagyok, nincs semmihez türelmem, csak romantikus, gyorsa olvasható lányregényekhez. Bár a fiúk szerintem akkor is inkább férfias kalandokon gyógyulnak, de nekem nem megy ilyenkor semmi komolyabb olvasmány.

És ezesetben ismét nem bántam meg, hogy Phllipshez fordultam, nem nagyon szoktam csalódni benne, a könnyed történetben, a humorban, a kicsit érzelgős, mégis realista előadásmódban. Bár a rejtély megoldására már a 20. oldal után rájöttem, de ettől függetlenül végigizgultam a hősnővel együtt a történetet.

De be kell valljam, azért hiányoztak a sportolók, már úgy megszoktam, hogy mindig előbukkannak a könyveiben. Itt most helyettük egy talányos lelkű, meglepetésekben gazdag horrorírót kaptam.

Why hadn’t she done so many things? Find a stable occupation. Be more circumspect with her money. Date decent men.

“I’ll bring some furniture down from Harp House. There’s a bunch of stuff in the attic that nobody’s using.”

Annie had hated every one of those novels. Others might fall in love with Melville, Proust, Joyce, and Tolstoy, but Annie wanted books that depicted courageous heroines who stood their ground instead of throwing themselves under a train.

The bumpy road made drinking a hot beverage, even with a lid, difficult, and Annie sipped carefully at the bitter coffee. “What Peregrine needs is a good Starbucks.”
“And a deli.” He slipped on a pair of aviators. “I’d sell my soul for a decent bagel.”
“You mean you still have one?”

“Stop it,” she said.
He lifted a curl that lay by her ear and ran it through his fingers. “Stop what?”
She shoved his hand away. “Stop going all bloody Heathcliff on me.”
“If I had any idea what you were talking about . . .”
“The saunter. The hooded eyes, the whole broody-arrogant thing.”

She began to feel stupid instead of threatened. Like one of those dimwitted heroines in old black-and-white movies who were always being dragged around by John Wayne or Gary Cooper.
