Reed is the most powerful girl at Easton. She revels in her newfound status, but knows better than anyone that the Bilings leaders have a tainted legacy: Ariana was institutionalized, Noelle was expelled, and Cheyenne just died.

by Raquel PagnoLos ojos de Miguel eran como dos esmeraldas. Increiblemente verdes, reflejaban algo profundamente dulce, una ternura casi increíble, una especie de encantamiento capaz de hechizarla por completo. Carmen apenas podía creer que estuviera vivo, escondido entre las ruinas de la mansión que había sido su familia, en un pasado remoto y misterioso, del que su madre, Teresa, había insistido en protegerla. Fue Miguel quien salvó a su abuela, Francesca, cuando había huido de las sangrientas masacres de la guerra en Italia; fue él quien la salvó a ella ya sus dos hijos de la miseria total. Y él también fue quien los maldijo. Miguel fue el último de los vampiros y solo la última de las brujas pudo cumplir su más profundo deseo: generar un heredero, capaz de perpetuar la especie y continuar su historia.

Legal Briefs: Stories By Today's Best Legal Thriller Writers
by William BernhardtFrom an all-star team of legal thriller writers, eleven stories of top-flight suspense. William Bernhardt, author of seven bestselling novels featuring attorney Ben Kincaid, asked ten of his fellow lawyer/authors to contribute their most fiendishly clever short pieces for this anthology, and told them their imaginations were their only guides. The result is Legal Briefs, a smorgasbord of stories boasting a wonderful variety of themes and styles. From John Grisham's exploration of a doctor's guilt in "The Birthday" to Richard North Patterson's story of a lawyer's loyalty to his mentor in "The Client," to Grif Stockley's tale of a divorce lawyer who learns the hard way that things are not always what they seem, these pieces showcase the extraordinary depth and breadth of talent among the new breed of legal thriller writers. Some of these stories feature twisting and inventive plots; some illuminate the moral dilemmas and psychological complexities faced by the modern-day lawyer; some are good, old-fashioned yarns. But for all their diversity of approaches and characters, these writers understand that the courtrooms and law firms from which they came offer the raw material for the most dramatic, suspenseful stories you can read. Legal Briefs will be a delight for fans of all these bestselling authors, and a splendid introduction to their talents for all readers new to the genre.

The man proves to be a monster unleashed on an unsuspecting community. The results are tragic. To make amends Venturi leaves the Marshals Service and assembles a team of close confidants to secretly create new identities for innocent men and women whose lives have been ruined through no fault of their own -- people who really deserve fresh starts in new lives.

In these "deaths," some of them spectacular, phony forensics must be created to fit the "facts" and fool the experts. His fascinating experiment works -- for a time. But as Venturi continues to relocate the deserving, evil begins to stalk Venturi and his legally dead clients. Soon one is dead. Really dead. Are the relentless killers from his own past, or was one of his clients not so innocent after all? His own loved ones are now targets because of his attempts to atone for a tragedy that haunts him. In a desperate race to protect those he has relocated, Venturi must call upon his former training in both the U.S. Marines Force Recon and the Marshals Service, as he is hunted by police, prosecutors, ruthless killers, and his own former federal colleagues.
