Primal Animals: A Novel
by Julia Lynn Rubin“Like a queer version of The Wicker Man, Julia Lynn Rubin's Primal Animals is a wonderfully-creepy mystery set under sunshine and fresh air, where nothing is what it seems and no one is what you expect. Keep your eyes open, watch your back, and beware of the flies.” —Emma Berquist, author of Missing, Presumed DeadThe Female of the Species meets Midsommar for fans of YellowjacketsAt an elite summer program, a teen girl gets sucked into a secret society, with deadly consequences.Protect the girls.Arlee Gold has always lived in the shadow of her successful mom; even after everything Arlee’s been through, her mother still expects nothing but the best. In an effort to get her daughter back on track after a less-than-stellar few school years, she’s enrolled Arlee as a legacy at Camp Rockaway, an elite college prep summer camp deep in the North Carolina wilderness. On her own for the first time and buzzing with anxiety, Arlee is intimidated by the camp’s shiny exterior, suffocated by the relentless, thick summer heat…and tormented by the ceaseless stream of crawling, slimy, flapping bugs that seem to come straight from her nightmares.In the midst of her brewing dread, Arlee is relieved to find a queer sanctuary in her bunkmates, and is especially drawn to Winnie, the enigmatic girl who sleeps in the bunk above her. Except Arlee starts to notice whispers in her wake, and how so many others recoil from her as if she were as creepy as the insects that terrify her. Struggling in her prep classes and feeling increasingly paranoid, Arlee can no longer suppress her panicked “glitches.” Winnie, too, seems to become wary, and Arlee’s worst fear is confirmed: even here, in the place her mother promised was “going to change everything,” she’s been found out as a freak.Just as she’s facing a summer completely alone, another rising junior slips her a mysterious invitation, and Arlee finds herself caught up in a secret society that expects its sisterhood to protect each other from any and all who would harm them—by any means necessary. Here, finally, Arlee feels like a part of something bigger, something that matters. Guided by their cunning leader, Lisha, a rising senior with a smile sharp enough to cut bone, the sisterhood will stand against any threat, unquestioningly. But when Winnie is put in grave danger, Arlee is forced to confront just how far her sisters will go, and whether they truly protect the girls.

Princesa de cenizas
by Laura SebastianPrincesa. Prisionera. Huérfana. Rebelde. Cuando todo lo que queda de tu pasado son cenizas, debes buscar muy dentro de ti para encontrar la llama que puede devolverte la fuerza. Theodosia tenía tan solo seis años cuando los Kalovaxians invadieron su país y asesinaron a su madre, la Reina de la Llama y la Furia, delante de sus propios ojos. En aquel momento, la joven princesa lo perdió todo. Incluso su nombre. Con el nuevo nombre de Thora y el ridículo apodo de «princesa de Cenizas», Theodosia ha vivido diez años prisionera en su propio palacio sufriendo los maltratos y las humillaciones del káiser. Pero cuando el dictador la obliga a ejecutar a la única persona que podría haberla salvado de su pesadilla, Theodosia decide resurgir de las cenizas. Su astucia es más poderosa que cualquier espada. Y un reino no se gana siempre en el campo de batalla. Durante diez años la Princesa de Cenizas ha visto su tierra saqueada y a su pueblo esclavizado. Ha llegado el momento de ponerle fin a esta opresión. Reseñas:«Un inicio de serie emocionalmente complejo y repleto de suspense que te deja sin aliento.»Booklist «Una trama que mezcla con habilidad intriga política, magia poderosa y debilitante y los violentos mecanismos de la colonización, sumergiendo al lector en una trama tan turbulenta como cautivadora.»Kirkus Reviews «Una ventana abierta a las complejidades de las relaciones y emociones humanas, las tensiones familiares y la falsa cara pública que a veces se necesita en la política y en la corte [...] Un final apoteósico para una secuela.»Publishers Weekly «Los amantes de la fantasía, de Kiera Cass y de Suzanne Collins lo adorarán.»SLJ

"Brillantemente imaginada, en la leyenda de Shikanoko hay drama, pasión y traición, incluso sacrificio y el placer a la antigua de no tener idea de lo que va a pasar más adelante. ¿Por qué demonios no había salido la continuación de esta saga? Michael Giltz, BookFilter "Esta historia de ritmo veloz sobre los cambios de dinastías japonesas establece de manera fascinante los conflictos y las relaciones humanas". Publishers Weekly "Una apasionada y trepidante historia de fantasía con emocionantes giros, intriga política, romance y un ambiente rico en detalles, mitología japonesa y desconocidas influencias del mundo sobrenatural" Karin Thogersen, Library Journal "La fluida prosa de Hearn y sus personajes moralmente ambiguos son mágicamente seductores".

Princesas e príncipes vampiros
by Vianka Van Bokkem Josiane da Silva MattosMinha nova universidade é um mosteiro medieval reformado na Eslováquia chamado 'Dux Ducis' (líder dos líderes em latim). A universidade é administrada por professores de todo o mundo. Os monges a abandonaram há muitos anos, e não é exatamente o lugar que uma menina de dezoito anos gostaria de estar, só que eu não tenho escolha. Sou a princesa herdeira Paola Katarina da Suécia. Meus melhores amigos são a princesa herdeira Sofia Eleonora da Finlândia e o príncipe herdeiro Oskar Niklas da Noruega. No sexto dia no mosteiro, uma batida suave na porta me acordou. Dei uma olhada no relógio e era uma hora da manhã. Não havia ninguém lá, mas vi um rapaz de pijama andando descalço pelo jardim. A maneira rígida e lenta em que estava andando me fez pensar que ele era sonâmbulo. Segui-o e poucos minutos depois ele iniciou uma conversa arrepiante. -- Você é tão ingênua, Paola. Sempre tentando ajudar os outros, mesmo que sejam estranhos. Estou prestes a te ensinar uma lição que nenhum professor nesta universidade pode te ensinar. Quando o rapaz disse o meu nome, eu vi que ele não era sonâmbulo. Ele estava me atraindo para a sala de oração. -- Quem é você? Por que você me enganou para te seguir? O rapaz levou alguns segundos para responder, sem olhar para mim. -- Usei tantos nomes nos últimos 300 anos que não me lembro mais do meu nome de batismo; a maioria dos meus conhecidos me chamam de Patryk Lucescu.
