Rising into the sky beyond, like plague boils on the body of an incurably sick man, were the hills of Rome.

Vo Viedni vyčíňa brutálny vrah. Jediný človek ho môže zastaviť… „Ide o samovraždu istého Bernharda Straussa,“ vysvetlil Stehling. „Ten dobrák sa doma obesil a pred niekoľkými dňami ho pochovali na hlavnom viedenskom cintoríne.“ „A čo?“ Stehling si vzdychol. „Po pohrebe sa odohrala nepríjemná udalosť. Niekto chcel mŕtvolu znovu vykopať a v poslednej chvíli ho prichytili.“ „Takže vykrádač…

Do you like any book series?

Oooh I already answered this one but here, copy pasted from the ask that's like yours ^^:

For books I’ll always recommend the Leviathan series by Scott Westerfeld, if you’re into historical war retellings with steampunk aspects.

The Monstrumologist series by Rick Yancy if ya fancy some monster horror

The Iron Fey series by Julie Kagawa if you’re into faeries and smoochin faeries I guess lol

Steelheart series by Brandon Sanderson and Villains series by V.E. Schwab if you like post-apocalyptic/dark superheroes stories.

aaaand Ascendance series by Jennifer Nielsen which is a series I read when I was younger which is about war, royal conspiracy, and all that funky stuff lol

Of course I also love some of the classics like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes plus lots of the Shakespearean plays bc I’m a stupid theater kid wjsjfjsnd

For the ask game: 1, 5, 11, 13 and 30

do u prefer a standalone or a series? I love series because I can't always get attached to characters in just one book - or I do get attached and miss that we don't have more time together.

5. enemies to lovers or friends to lovers? I will be honest and I haven't actually read many enemies to lovers books, but I do enjoy friends to lovers. Peeta really raised the bar there.

11. the best book u have ever read? This is so hard!! Wolf brother captivated me like no other book when i was 14 and I still go back to the series and adore it. Goblet of Fire was my favourite book for like 10 years and I've read it over 50 times. I used to just read it, finish, start again (and we did a quiz about that book against kids at waterstones, not knowing we'd be the only people without kids, and i absolutely destroyed the competition lmao).

13. ur fav author( if u have any)? Terry Pratchett <3 I was fortunate enough to get a ticket to his memorial and I sobbed like a baby

30. give any 3 book recs to ur followers!

Year of the Reaper by Makiia Lucia - post-historical plague, Cass can see the dead and is trying to return home after 3 years spent in a rotting prison, but assassins are targeting the queen. The Hangman's Daughter by Oliver Pötzsch - Set in 17th Century Bavaria, Magdalena is the daughter of the hangman and her father is tasked with getting a confession about a woman they accuse of witchcraft.

Dreams Lie Beneath by Rebecca Roth - Clementine is ready to take over from her father as the ward who prevents magic from flowing to the village every full moon. Two magicians show up and challenge them to the rights to the village and there is a curse afoot.

The Hangman’s Daughter by Oliver Pötzsch

I don't have much to say on this one: it was fine, if you're a fan of witch trials and adventures (which I am). I didn't really dislike it or like it all that much, so don't have too much else to add. The animated illustrations that accompanied it on my e-reader were fun, though.
