by Christina BauerEighteen year old Myla Lewis is a girl who loves two things: kicking ass and kicking ass. She's not your every day quasi-demon, half-demon and half-human, girl. For the past five years, Myla has lived for the days she gets to fight in Purgatory's arena. When souls want a trial by combat for their right to enter heaven or hell, they go up against her, and she hasn't lost a battle yet. But as she starts her senior year at Purgatory High, the arena fights aren't enough to keep her spirits up anymore. When the demons start to act weird, even for demons, and the King of the Demons, Armageddon, shows up at Myla's school, she knows that things are changing and it's not looking good for the quasi-demons. Myla starts to question everything, and doesn't like the answers she finds. What happened seventeen years ago that turned the quasi-demons into slave labor? Why was her mom always so sad? And why won't anyone tell her who her father is? Things heat up when Myla meets Lincoln, the High Prince of the Thrax, a super sexy half-human and half-angel demon hunter. But what's a quasi-demon girl to do when she falls for a demon hunter? It's a good thing that Myla's not afraid of breaking a few rules. With a love worth fighting for, Myla's going to shake up Purgatory. THE ANGELBOUND ORGINS SERIES1. ANGELBOUND2. SCALA3. ARMAGEDDONTHE ANGELBOUND: OFFSPRING SERIES1. MAXON2. PORTIA

Los ángeles de hielo
by Toni HillUna ambiciosa intriga psicológica de tintes góticos ambientada en la pujante Barcelona de principios del siglo XX. «En esta historia penetraremos en los más oscuros recovecos del alma humana, en las atrocidades que pueden cometer los seres atormentados por la venganza y el odio.»Tanto los vivos como los muertos.» Barcelona, 1916. A sus veintisiete años, Frederic Mayol ha dejado atrás una vida cómoda en la esplendorosa Viena y la traumática participación en una guerra que sigue asolando Europa. Psiquiatra y seguidor de las teorías psicoanalíticas, se enfrenta a su futuro puesto en un sanatorio ubicado en un tranquilo pueblo pesquero cercano a Barcelona, un enclave perfecto para superar los horrores vividos en el frente. Pero la clínica y sus alrededores no resultan ser tan idílicos como pensaba. Las sombras de un siniestro pasado se ciernen sobre los ángeles que decoran la fachada del edificio, como si quisieran revivir los acontecimientos que sucedieron en la casa siete años atrás, cuando el lugar era un prestigioso internado para jovencitas de buena familia que cerró sus puertas después de un trágico incendio. Atrapado entre el anhelo de desvelar el misterio que se esconde entre los muros del caserón y el amor que siente por Blanca, una de las antiguas alumnas del colegio, Frederic deberá enfrentarse a una perversa historia de obsesiones y venganzas hasta llegar a una revelación tan sorprendente como desoladora. Porque la verdad, aunque necesaria, no siempre supone una liberación; a veces incluso puede convertirse en una nueva condena. Toni Hill vuelve a demostrar su gran pulso narrativo y su habilidad para la creación de atmósferas en este fascinante best seller literario, poblado de personajes inolvidables y envuelto en un aliento inquietante. Reseñas:«La dosis exacta de misterio bien administrado, capaz de convertir incluso al lector más exigente en un auténtico adicto.»Qué Leer «Atmosférico... Los personajes son intrigantes y complejos, y el autor va deshaciendo hábilmente la madeja guardándonos una sorpresa final.»Library Journal
