Un infierno
by Lydia CarrerasLos jóvenes cada vez están más expuestos al contacto con extraños tras la pantalla de las redes sociales. El grooming es un tema preocupante y, muchas veces, la perversidad se disfraza de palabras halagadoras y de pedidos cada vez más osados que pueden encubrir una trama peligrosa. -Estás ahí? -tecleó Estefi casi sin aliento.-Claro, sigo acá -respondió él.-Pensé que te habías cansado. Es que no se iban más...-Tranqui. Prendé la cámara que me gusta verte.-Ok. Pero estoy horrible hoy. Bueh… Ya está.-Divina estás.-Y me encanta tu camisa blanca. Menos mal que no te enojaste.-Por la demora? Cómo no te voy a esperar a vos?!-Yo me enojo por cualquier cosa...-A mí me gusta que seas así.-Cómo?-Espontánea, tímida a veces, desconfiada, qué sé yo... Apasionada.-Cómo sabés que soy apasionada?-Por tu voz, mirá cómo estás susurrando ahora. Se me pone piel de gallina, y cómo te reís... Cuándo me vas a dar una foto? Así empezó todo. Primero los halagos, después las insinuaciones y en seguida el pedido de fotos..., las malditas fotos que pronto transformaron la vida de Estefi en un verdadero infierno. ¿Cómo quedó atrapada ahí? ¿Dónde estaba la salida?

Indigo Alloy: Mixologists And Pirates Part Six (Mixologists and Pirates #6)
by Frost KayFact 417 – Kidnapping was not sexy. The old Earth romances had it wrong. Being captured by an attractive elfin alien was anything but glamourous. It was slave labor with a pinch of harassment. But Allie Sai wouldn’t take anyone’s gruff, even if it meant challenging the scariest man she’d ever met, erm.. alien.Fact 359 – Southern belles never played by the rules. Poker was always her game of choice, so it was fitting that to take down Sloven and win her freedom, Allie had to take a chance and do the impossible – destroy the King’s criminal empire and get out without dying. Simple, right? If only. Fact 205 – Luck had a funny way of changing when you least expected it. It was just one compromise…Once you take one sip of this series, you'll probably want to keep coming back for more! ~ Goodreads ReviewerMixologists and Pirates Series1 - Amber Vial2 - Emerald Bane3 - Scarlet Venom4 - Cyan Toxin5 - Onyx Elixir6 - Indigo Alloy
