​Melanie Gurenko is a german author. As a child of the 90s, she always wanted to attend Hogwarts and celebrated victory in Middle-earth with salted beef. In her books there are no classic villains, but characters with an exciting past. 70% workaholic, 20% sarcasm and 10% life support systems is the description that probably fits her best. When she's not throwing nerdy quotes around or taking readers into complex worlds where nothing is as it seems, she lives with her husband and their three cats in North Rhine-Westphalia.
