Produktbeschreibung

This young adult novel is the first in a fantasy trilogy from prolific author Eileen Merriman. Eerily, in these Covid times its plot centres around a contagious disease, M-fever, which mostly affects teens and young adults, and is most often fatal. Seventeen-year-old Violet awakes after surviving M-fever but to find an unexpected consequence-she can hear other people's thoughts. And she isn't alone. It's a great read full of action, espionage as the government effectively kidnaps the affected teens to create a unique squad of spies, and some romance. This novel kept me enthralled till the end and definitely left me wanting more.

Autorenporträt

Eileen Merriman's first young adult novel, Pieces of You, was published in 2017, and was a finalist in the NZ Book Awards for Children and Young Adults and a Storylines Notable Book. Since then, a stream of novels for adults and young adults have followed. She has received huge critical praise, with one reviewer saying: 'Merriman is an instinctive storyteller with an innate sense of timing.' In addition to being a regular finalist in the NZ Book Awards for Children and Young Adults, Merriman was a finalist in the 2021 Ngaio Marsh Award for Best Crime Novel and Moonlight Sonata was longlisted for the Jann Medlicott Acorn Prize for Fiction 2020. Editions of some of her young adult novels have been released in Germany, Turkey and the UK and three have been optioned for film or TV, including the Black Spiral Trilogy. In 2024, Merriman's compelling Catch a Falling Star, which depicts a 15-year-old spiralling into a mental health crisis, won both the New Zealand Book Awards Young Adult Fiction Award and NZ Booklovers' Best Young Adult Book. Her other awards include runner-up in the 2018 Sunday Star-Times Short Story Award and third in the same award for three consecutive years previously. She works as a consultant haematologist at North Shore Hospital.
