Na jaren roepen om deze samen met Evelyn te gaan lezen, eindelijk gedaan. Enorm van genoten!

Sommige dingen zijn wel veranderd van wat ik me nog herinnerde van 5 jaar geleden, maar de grote lijnen en wat dit boek gaaf maakt staan nog. 

Erg stoer en gaaf verhaal. Naar de normen van nu misschien niet zo divers als je nu zou willen, maar daar doet het verhaal niet voor onder. Wel even rekening mee houden dus als je het nu leest en het boek afzet tegen de standaarden van nu ;)

Maar vooral een echte aanrader als je houdt van een boek met monsters en girlpower waar liefde geen hoofdzaak in is. En als je houdt van prachtig mooie voorkanten, check die cover joh.

Anyway, deel 2 lezen we vast sneller he? ;)

<b>2016</b>
So, back in March, the Dutch publisher Blossom Books asked their ambassadors (including me) to read some manuscripts for them. This is one of the books I've read in this period, as well as The Witch's Kiss and one other, which I'm allowed to mention when that one is published :)

This is an awesome book about girlpower. The world is under attack by monsters, and only 4 girl, Effifies, on the globe have to power to really fight them. What you get is 4 chicks constantly saving the world, how cool is that. 

This story is set in the future, and what I really like is that the story includes the influence of the internet en social media. Those 4 girls are famous AF and people are big fans of them. Including the main character, she has a blog about one of the Effigies. When the Effigy is spotted somewhere, she finds out what closes she wears, and she keeps up to date with the latest gossip. 

So, when one of the Effigies dies (this happens), the powers are given to another girl. This girl will be found by the company/institution that is behind getting the girls where they need to fight, so guess what happens to our main character.. (this is not a spoiler, this is on the back flap of my book). 

Of course, this is a YA book, so all the guys are super handsome and there is some love in this book while it is not completely necessary. But later on, there was more attention for the connection between the girls, their friendship (which is partly forced because they have their powers) and the fact that they share the power to fight the monsters.

When I finished this book, I wanted to read the sequel right away, but first I had to wait MONTHS to be able to talk about this book because it was not released yet, and now I have to wait another ages for the seuqel.. so I'm going to reread this in 2017 :P I will add to my review :)

As you may have noticed, I'm a big fan of this book. But the published asked the opinion of more people of course, and not all agreed with me and they decided to not translate this book :( So, you just have to read it in English Dutchies :)

Also, I'm not a big fan of hardbacks with a dustcover, even when the dustcover looks as pretty as this one, because they are so easily damaged when transported to The Netherlands. My edition is not perfect either, which I think is a bit of a shame, but because I could not order a paperback and i wanted to own this book so badly I was like well whatever :)
