What I Liked:
The story rich in The Bloodred Red Trilogy was steady plain compelling.

Lieze NevenRuby Red - Bloody Good !
I used to be an avid reader. The books on my nightstand changed every week and the city library did not hold any new secrets to me. But somewhere in puberty it went all wrong. I valued boys over books ( and I see my mistake now since books make MUCH better friends) and I had the tendency to buy semi-intellectual books that did not interest me much anyway… So it was a big surprise to me when I got hooked on Ruby Red by Kerstin Gier. And by hooked on I mean the “Oh em gee! It’s already 4 am and I have to get up at 9… one more page…” kind of hooked.
“Kerstin Who?” I can hear you ask bored and lazy in your Ikea office chairs upon which i go into full fangirl mode and scream “Kerstin fucking GIER!” from the top of my fangirling lungs. Ruby Red and the Gem Trilogy did not really make it out of their German boxbed so no hard feelings there… Admittedly : Germany went completely wild for Gier’s books but the rest of Europe kept oddly quiet.

They did have them in Dutch but t

So here it is – the overview of what I read in March. I have to say, I’m pretty pleased with myself for posting this so punctually – don’t count on it happening regularly! Anyway, here’s a short overview of the 13 books I read this month:
Wolkenschloss by Kerstin Gier (4.5/5 Stars)
(This book has not been translated into English yet, but the title refers to the name of the hotel which the story takes place at)
I didn’t know I’d ever be fantasizing about living in a hotel, but after reading this book, I have to say that it sounds like a pretty cool option.
Wolkenschloss follows the story of Fanny Funke, a seventeen-year-old who decided to quit school in order to work as an intern at a hotel in the Swiss Alps. I found Fanny to be an extremely likeable and relatable main character and all the other characters were interesting and fleshed out as well. Even Don, the spoiled and bratty millionaire’s child who terrorizes Fanny with all his pranks really grew on me by the end.
The writing is typical for what I’ve come to expect from Kerstin Gier: fun, a bit quirky, but also rich in details that give this book an amazing atmospheric quality – seriously, I want to stay at this hotel! I was immersed in the pl
