Ali Morris is a professional organizer whose own life is a mess. Her mom died two years ago, then her husband left, and she hasn’t worn pants with a zipper in longer than she cares to remember.

No one is more surprised than Ali when the first time she takes off her wedding ring and puts on pants with hardware—overalls count, right?—she meets someone. Or rather, her dog claims a man for her...by peeing on him. Ethan smiles at Ali like her pants are just right—like he likes what he sees. He looks at her like she’s a younger, braver version of herself. The last thing newly single mom Ali needs is to make her life messier, but there’s no harm in a little summer romance.

]]> Ready or Not 154548937 A surprise pregnancy leads to even more life-changing revelations in this heartfelt, slow-burn, friends-to-lovers romance of found family and unexpected love.

Eve Hatch lives for surprises! Just kidding. She expects every tomorrow to be pretty much the same as today. She loves her cozy apartment in Brooklyn that’s close to her childhood best friend Willa, and far from her midwestern, traditional family who has never really understood her. While her job is only dream-adjacent, it’s comfortable and steady. She always knows what to expect from her life... until she finds herself expecting after an uncharacteristic one-night stand.

The unplanned pregnancy cracks open all the relationships in her life. Eve’s loyal friendship with Willa is feeling tense, right when she needs her the most. And it’s actually Willa’s steadfast older brother, Shep, who steps up to help Eve. He has always been friendly, but now he’s checking in, ordering her surprise lunches, listening to all her complaints, and is... suddenly kinda hot? Then, as if she needs one more complication, there’s the baby’s father, who is (technically) supportive but (majorly) conflicted.

Up until this point, Eve’s been content to coast through life. Now, though—maybe it’s the hormones, maybe it’s the way Shep’s shoulders look in a T-shirt—Eve starts to wonder if she has been secretly desiring more from every aspect of her life.

Over the course of nine months, as Eve struggles to figure out the next right step in her expanding reality, she begins to realize that family and love, in all forms, can sneak up on you when you least expect it.]]> 373 Cara Bastone Ѳí 0 to-read 4.07 2024 Ready or Not

]]> <![CDATA[The Tainted Cup (Shadow of the Leviathan #1)]]> 150249463
In Daretana’s greatest mansion, a high imperial officer lies dead—killed, to all appearances, when a tree erupted from his body. Even here at the Empire’s borders, where contagions abound and the blood of the leviathans works strange magical changes, it’s a death both terrifying and impossible.

Assigned to investigate is Ana Dolabra, a detective whose reputation for brilliance is matched only by her eccentricities. Rumor has it that she wears a blindfold at all times, and that she can solve impossible cases without even stepping outside the walls of her home.

At her side is her new assistant, Dinios Kol, magically altered in ways that make him the perfect aide to Ana’s brilliance. Din is at turns scandalized, perplexed, and utterly infuriated by his new superior—but as the case unfolds and he watches Ana’s mind leap from one startling deduction to the next, he must admit that she is, indeed, the Empire’s greatest detective.

As the two close in on a mastermind and uncover a scheme that threatens the Empire itself, Din realizes he’s barely begun to assemble the puzzle that is Ana Dolabra—and wonders how long he’ll be able to keep his own secrets safe from her piercing intellect.

By an “endlessly inventive� (Vulture) author with a “wicked sense of humor� (NPR), The Tainted Cup mixes the charms of detective fiction with brilliant world-building to deliver a fiendishly clever mystery that’s at once instantly recognizable and thrillingly new.]]> 410 Robert Jackson Bennett 1984820729 Ѳí 0 to-read 4.40 2024 The Tainted Cup (Shadow of the Leviathan #1)

In the land of the unforgiving desert, there isn't much a girl wouldn't do for a glass of water.

Twenty-four-year-old Saeris Fane is good at keeping secrets. No one knows about the strange powers she possesses, or the fact that she has been picking pockets and stealing from the Undying Queen's reservoirs for as long as she can remember.

But a secret is like a knot. Sooner or later, it is bound to come undone.

When Saeris comes face-to-face with Death himself, she inadvertently re-opens a gateway between realms and is transported to a land of ice and snow. The Fae have always been the stuff of myth, of legend, of nightmares... but it turns out they're real, and Saeris has landed herself in the middle of a centuries-long conflict that might just get her killed.

The first of her kind to tread the frozen mountains of Yvelia in over a thousand years, Saeris mistakenly binds herself to Kingfisher, a handsome Fae warrior, who has secrets and nefarious agendas of his own. He will use her Alchemist's magic to protect his people, no matter what it costs him . . . or her.

Death has a name. It is Kingfisher of the Ajun Gate. His past is murky. His attitude stinks. And he's the only way Saeris is going to make it home.]]> 588 Callie Hart Ѳí 0 to-read 4.35 2024 Quicksilver (Fae & Alchemy, #1)

NATIONAL BESTSELLER � An epic love story set in the sparkling, savage sphere of elite figure skating, starring a woman determined to carve her own path on and off the ice

“P Wuthering Heights and part Daisy Jones & The Six, this novel is as brilliantly choreographed as a gold medal performance and will keep you guessing until its last page.”—Jodi Picoult, New York Times bestselling author of By Any Other Name

She might not have a famous name, funding, or her family’s support, but Katarina Shaw has always known that she was destined to become an Olympic skater. When she meets Heath Rocha, a lonely kid stuck in the foster care system, their instant connection makes them a formidable duo on the ice. Clinging to skating—and each other—to escape their turbulent lives, Kat and Heath go from childhood sweethearts to champion ice dancers, captivating the world with their scorching chemistry, rebellious style, and roller-coaster relationship.

Until a shocking incident at the Olympic Games brings their partnership to a sudden end.

As the ten-year anniversary of their final skate approaches, an unauthorized documentary reignites the public obsession with Shaw and Rocha, claiming to uncover the “real story� through interviews with their closest friends and fiercest rivals. Kat wants nothing to do with the documentary, but she ’t stand the thought of someone else defining her legacy. So, after a decade of silence, she’s telling her story: from the childhood tragedies that created her all-consuming bond with Heath to the clash of desires that tore them apart. Sensational rumors have haunted their every step for years, but the truth may be even more shocking than the headlines.]]> 464 Layne Fargo 0593732057 Ѳí 0 to-read 4.17 2025 The Favorites

]]> The Wedding People 177328214 A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
A Today Show #ReadwithJenna Book Club Pick

A propulsive and uncommonly wise novel about one unexpected wedding guest and the surprising people who help her start anew.

It’s a beautiful day in Newport, Rhode Island, when Phoebe Stone arrives at the grand Cornwall Inn wearing a green dress and gold heels, not a bag in sight, alone. She's immediately mistaken by everyone in the lobby for one of the wedding people, but she’s actually the only guest at the Cornwall who isn’t here for the big event. Phoebe is here because she’s dreamed of coming for years—she hoped to shuck oysters and take sunset sails with her husband, only now she’s here without him, at rock bottom, and determined to have one last decadent splurge on herself. Meanwhile, the bride has accounted for every detail and every possible disaster the weekend might yield except for, well, Phoebe and Phoebe's plan—which makes it that much more surprising when the two women ’t stop confiding in each other.

In turns absurdly funny and devastatingly tender, Alison Espach’s The Wedding People is ultimately an incredibly nuanced and resonant look at the winding paths we can take to places we never imagined—and the chance encounters it sometimes takes to reroute us.]]> 384 Alison Espach 1250899567 Ѳí 0 to-read 4.23 2024 The Wedding People

Núria, a single-by-choice barista with a resentment for the “crazy cat lady� label, is a member of The Meow-Yorkers, a group in Brooklyn who takes care of the neighborhood’s stray cats.

Gilda, a twenty-something, atheist, animal-loving lesbian, cannot stop ruminating about death. Desperate for relief from her panicky mind and alienated from her repressive family, she responds to a flyer for free therapy at a local Catholic church, and finds herself being greeted by Father Jeff, who assumes she’s there for a job interview. Too embarrassed to correct him, Gilda is abruptly hired to replace the recently deceased receptionist Grace.

In between trying to memorize the lines to Catholic mass, hiding the fact that she has a new girlfriend, and erecting a dirty dish tower in her crumbling apartment, Gilda strikes up an email correspondence with Grace’s old friend.

]]> The God of the Woods 199698485 When a teenager vanishes from her Adirondack summer camp, two worlds collide

Early morning, August 1975: a camp counselor discovers an empty bunk. Its occupant, Barbara Van Laar, has gone missing. Barbara isn’t just any thirteen-year-old: she’s the daughter of the family that owns the summer camp and employs most of the region’s residents. And this isn’t the first time a Van Laar child has disappeared. Barbara’s older brother similarly vanished fourteen years ago, never to be found.

As a panicked search begins, a thrilling drama unfolds. Chasing down the layered secrets of the Van Laar family and the blue-collar community working in its shadow, Moore’s multi-threaded story invites readers into a rich and gripping dynasty of secrets and second chances. It is Liz Moore’s most ambitious and wide-reaching novel yet.]]> 490 Liz Moore Ѳí 0 to-read 4.15 2024 The God of the Woods

]]> <![CDATA[Shorefall (The Founders Trilogy, #2)]]> 45309582 As a magical revolution remakes a city, an ancient evil is awakened in a brilliant new novel from the Hugo-nominated author ofFoundryside and the Divine Cities trilogy

Having narrowly saved the metropolis of Tevanne from destruction, Sancia Grado and her allies have turned to their next task: sowing the seeds of a full-on magical-industrial revolution. If they succeed, the secrets behind scriving—the art of imbuing everyday objects with sentience—will be accessible to all of Tevanne’s citizens, much to the displeasure of the robber-barons who’ve hoarded this knowledge for themselves.

But one of Sancia’s enemies has embarked on a desperate gambit, an attempt to resurrect a figure straight out of legend—an immortal being known as a heirophant. Long ago, the heirophant was an ordinary man, but he’s used scriving to transform himself into something closer to a god. Once awakened, he’ll stop at nothing to remake the world in his horrifying image.

And if Sancia ’t stop this ancient power from returning? Well, the only way to fight a god…is with another god.]]> 493 Robert Jackson Bennett 1524760390 Ѳí 0 to-read 4.02 2020 Shorefall (The Founders Trilogy, #2)

But unbeknownst to her, Sancia’s been sent to steal an artifact of unimaginable power, an object that could revolutionize the magical technology known as scriving. The Merchant Houses who control this magic--the art of using coded commands to imbue everyday objects with sentience--have already used it to transform Tevanne into a vast, remorseless capitalist machine. But if they can unlock the artifact’s secrets, they will rewrite the world itself to suit their aims.

Now someone in those Houses wants Sancia dead, and the artifact for themselves. And in the city of Tevanne, there’s nobody with the power to stop them.

To have a chance at surviving—and at stopping the deadly transformation that’s under way—Sancia will have to marshal unlikely allies, learn to harness the artifact’s power for herself, and undergo her own transformation, one that will turn her into something she could never have imagined.]]> 501 Robert Jackson Bennett 1524760374 Ѳí 5 2025-reads, 5-stars 4.16 2018 Foundryside (The Founders Trilogy, #1)

Three casinos. Three bodies. Three days.

After a string of brutal murders in Las Vegas, Cassie Hobbes and the Naturals are called in to investigate. But even with the team's unique profiling talents, these murders seem unlike many serial killers, this one uses different methods every time. All of the victims were killed in public, yet the killer does not show up on any security feed. And each victim has a string of numbers tattooed on their wrist. Hidden in the numbers is a code - and the closer the Naturals come to unraveling the mystery, the more perilous the case becomes.

Meanwhile, Cassie is dealing with an equally dangerous and much more painful mystery. For the first time in years, there's been a break in her mother's case. As personal issues and tensions between the team mount, Cassie and the Naturals will be faced with impossible odds - and impossible choices.

The apocalypse will be televised!

A man. His ex-girlfriend's cat. A sadistic game show unlike anything in the universe: a dungeon crawl where survival depends on killing your prey in the most entertaining way possible.

In a flash, every human-erected construction on Earth—from Buckingham Palace to the tiniest of sheds—collapses in a heap, sinking into the ground.

The buildings and all the people inside have all been atomized and transformed into the dungeon: an 18-level labyrinth filled with traps, monsters, and loot. A dungeon so enormous, it circles the entire globe.

Only a few dare venture inside. But once you're in, you can't get out. And what's worse, each level has a time limit. You have but days to find a staircase to the next level down, or it's game over. In this game, it's not about your strength or your dexterity. It's about your followers, your views. Your clout. It's about building an audience and killing those goblins with style.

You can't just survive here. You gotta survive big.

You gotta fight with vigor, with excitement. You gotta make them stand up and cheer. And if you do have that "it" factor, you may just find yourself with a following. That's the only way to truly survive in this game—with the help of the loot boxes dropped upon you by the generous benefactors watching from across the galaxy.

They call it Dungeon Crawler World. But for Carl, it's anything but a game.]]> 446 Matt Dinniman Ѳí 5 2025-reads, 5-stars 4.49 2020 Dungeon Crawler Carl (Dungeon Crawler Carl, #1)

So when my life falls apart on my wedding day, it only makes sense that he’s the one to swoop in and save me. And when his world comes crashing down around him, I’m there to return the favor.

But the more time we spend alone, the more Jasper doesn’t feel like a friend at all. He feels like everything I’ve ever wanted and thought I could never have.

Our feelings aren’t straight forward though. They twist and turn around the pain of his past and the reality of my present.

Jasper Gervais acts like he wants me.

Mallory Quinn is fresh out of rehab when she takes a job as a babysitter for Ted and Caroline Maxwell. She is to look after their five-year-old son, Teddy.

Mallory immediately loves it. She has her own living space, goes out for nightly runs, and has the stability she craves. And she sincerely bonds with Teddy, a sweet, shy boy who is never without his sketchbook and pencil. His drawings are the usual fare: trees, rabbits, balloons. But one day, he draws something different: a man in a forest, dragging a woman’s lifeless body.

Then, Teddy’s artwork becomes increasingly sinister, and his stick figures quickly evolve into lifelike sketches well beyond the ability of any five-year-old. Mallory begins to wonder if these are glimpses of a long-unsolved murder, perhaps relayed by a supernatural force.

Knowing just how crazy it all sounds, Mallory nevertheless sets out to decipher the images and save Teddy before it’s too late.]]> 372 Jason Rekulak 1250819342 Ѳí 5 2025-reads 4.12 2022 Hidden Pictures

Thirty years after a tragic accident shut down production of the classic children’s program Mister Magic, the five surviving cast members have done their best to move on. But just as generations of cultishly devoted fans still cling to the lessons they learned from the show, the cast, known as the Circle of Friends, have spent their lives searching for the happiness they felt while they were on it. The friendship. The feeling of belonging. And the protection of Mister Magic.

But with no surviving video of the show, no evidence of who directed or produced it, and no records of who—or what—the beloved host actually was, memories are all the former Circle of Friends has.

Then a twist of fate brings the castmates back together at the remote desert filming compound that feels like it’s been waiting for them all this time. Even though they haven’t seen each other for years, they understand one another better than anyone has since.

After all, they’re the only ones who hold the secret of that circle, the mystery of the magic man in his infinitely black cape, and, maybe, the answers to what really happened on that deadly last day. But as the Circle of Friends reclaim parts of their past, they begin to wonder: Are they here by choice, or have they been lured into a trap?

]]> <![CDATA[The Housemaid (The Housemaid, #1)]]> 60556912
Every day I clean the Winchesters� beautiful house top to bottom. I collect their daughter from school. And I cook a delicious meal for the whole family before heading up to eat alone in my tiny room on the top floor.

I try to ignore how Nina makes a mess just to watch me clean it up. How she tells strange lies about her own daughter. And how her husband Andrew seems more broken every day. But as I look into Andrew’s handsome brown eyes, so full of pain, it’s hard not to imagine what it would be like to live Nina’s life. The walk-in closet, the fancy car, the perfect husband.

I only try on one of Nina’s pristine white dresses once. Just to see what it’s like. But she soon finds out� and by the time I realize my attic bedroom door only locks from the outside, it’s far too late.

But I reassure myself: the Winchesters don’t know who I really am.

They don’t know what I’m capable of�

An unbelievably twisty read that will have you glued to the pages late into the night.

]]> <![CDATA[A Curse So Dark and Lonely (Cursebreakers, #1)]]> 43204703 here.

Fall in love, break the curse.

Cursed by a powerful enchantress to repeat the autumn of his eighteenth year, Prince Rhen, the heir of Emberfall, thought he could be saved easily if a girl fell for him. But that was before he turned into a vicious beast hell-bent on destruction. Before he destroyed his castle, his family, and every last shred of hope.

Nothing has ever been easy for Harper. With her father long gone, her mother dying, and her brother constantly underestimating her because of her cerebral palsy, Harper learned to be tough enough to survive. When she tries to save a stranger on the streets of Washington, DC, she's pulled into a magical world.

Break the curse, save the kingdom.

Harper doesn't know where she is or what to believe. A prince? A curse? A monster? As she spends time with Rhen in this enchanted land, she begins to understand what's at stake. And as Rhen realizes Harper is not just another girl to charm, his hope comes flooding back. But powerful forces are standing against Emberfall . . . and it will take more than a broken curse to save Harper, Rhen, and his people from utter ruin.]]> 484 Brigid Kemmerer 1681195089 Ѳí 4 2024-reads 3.94 2019 A Curse So Dark and Lonely (Cursebreakers, #1)

Having survived sinister scarecrows and the malevolent smiling man in Small Spaces, newly minted best friends Ollie, Coco, and Brian are ready to spend a relaxing winter break skiing together with their parents at Mount Hemlock Resort. But when a snowstorm sets in, causing the power to flicker out and the cold to creep closer and closer, the three are forced to settle for hot chocolate and board games by the fire.

Ollie, Coco, and Brian are determined to make the best of being snowed in, but odd things keep happening. Coco is convinced she has seen a ghost, and Ollie is having nightmares about frostbitten girls pleading for help. Then Mr. Voland, a mysterious ghost hunter, arrives in the midst of the storm to investigate the hauntings at Hemlock Lodge. Ollie, Coco, and Brian want to trust him, but Ollie's watch, which once saved them from the smiling man, has a new cautionary message: BEWARE.

With Mr. Voland's help, Ollie, Coco, and Brian reach out to the dead voices at Mount Hemlock. Maybe the ghosts need their help–or maybe not all ghosts can or should be trusted.

Dead Voices is a terrifying follow-up to Small Spaces with thrills and chills galore and the captive foreboding of a classic ghost story.]]> 256 Katherine Arden 0593106490 Ѳí 4 2024-reads 4.06 2019 Dead Voices (Small Spaces, #2)

]]> <![CDATA[Small Spaces (Small Spaces, #1)]]> 36959639 New York Times bestselling adult author ofThe Bear and the Nightingale makes her middle grade debut with a creepy, spellbinding ghost story destined to become a classic

After suffering a tragic loss, eleven-year-old Ollie only finds solace in books. So when she happens upon a crazed woman at the river threatening to throw a book into the water, Ollie doesn't think—she just acts, stealing the book and running away. As she begins to read the slender volume, Ollie discovers a chilling story about a girl named Beth, the two brothers who both loved her, and a peculiar deal made with "the smiling man," a sinister specter who grants your most tightly held wish, but only for the ultimate price.

Ollie is captivated by the tale until her school trip the next day to Smoke Hollow, a local farm with a haunting history all its own. There she stumbles upon the graves of the very people she's been reading about. Could it be the story about the smiling man is true? Ollie doesn't have too long to think about the answer to that. On the way home, the school bus breaks down, sending their teacher back to the farm for help. But the strange bus driver has some advice for the kids left behind in his care: "Best get moving. At nightfall they'll come for the rest of you." Nightfall is, indeed, fast descending when Ollie's previously broken digital wristwatch, a keepsake reminder of better times, begins a startling countdown and delivers a terrifying message: RUN.

Only Ollie and two of her classmates heed the bus driver's warning. As the trio head out into the woods--bordered by a field of scarecrows that seem to be watching them--the bus driver has just one final piece of advice for Ollie and her friends: "Avoid large places. Keep to small."

And with that, a deliciously creepy and hair-raising adventure begins.

]]> The Seven Year Slip 62926938 An overworked book publicist with a perfectly planned future hits a snag when she falls in love with her temporary roommate…only to discover he lives seven years in the past, in this witty and wise new novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Dead Romantics.

Sometimes, the worst day of your life happens, and you have to figure out how to live after it.

So Clementine forms a plan to keep her heart safe: work hard, find someone decent to love, and try to remember to chase the moon. The last one is silly and obviously metaphorical, but her aunt always told her that you needed at least one big dream to keep going. And for the last year, that plan has gone off without a hitch. Mostly. The love part is hard because she doesn’t want to get too close to anyone—she isn’t sure her heart can take it.

And then she finds a strange man standing in the kitchen of her late aunt’s apartment. A man with kind eyes and a Southern drawl and a taste for lemon pies. The kind of man that, before it all, she would’ve fallen head-over-heels for. And she might again.

Except, he exists in the past. Seven years ago, to be exact. And she, quite literally, lives seven years in his future.

Her aunt always said the apartment was a pinch in time, a place where moments blended together like watercolors. And Clementine knows that if she lets her heart fall, she’ll be doomed.

After all, love is never a matter of time—but a matter of timing.]]> 336 Ashley Poston Ѳí 4 2024-reads 4.17 2023 The Seven Year Slip

Delilah Green swore she would never go back to Bright Falls—nothing is there for her but memories of a lonely childhood where she was little more than a burden to her cold and distant stepfamily. Her life is in New York, with her photography career finally gaining steam and her bed never empty. Sure, it’s a different woman every night, but that’s just fine with her.

When Delilah’s estranged stepsister, Astrid, pressures her into photographing her wedding with a guilt trip and a five-figure check, Delilah finds herself back in the godforsaken town that she used to call home. She plans to breeze in and out, but then she sees Claire Sutherland, one of Astrid’s stuck-up besties, and decides that maybe there’s some fun (and a little retribution) to be had in Bright Falls, after all.

Having raised her eleven-year-old daughter mostly on her own while dealing with her unreliable ex and running a bookstore, Claire Sutherland depends upon a life without surprises. And Delilah Green is an unwelcome surprise…at first. Though they’ve known each other for years, they don’t really know each other—so Claire is unsettled when Delilah figures out exactly what buttons to push. When they’re forced together during a gauntlet of wedding preparations—including a plot to save Astrid from her horrible fiancé—Claire isn’t sure she has the strength to resist Delilah’s charms.

Simon Snow es el mago más poderoso del mundo, tiene diecisiete años y es el Elegido, el único que puede salvar su mundo.

La verdad: Simon es el peor Elegido que nadie podría haber elegido.

Al menos eso es lo que dice Baz, su némesis. Y Baz será malvado y un vampiro y gilipollas, pero aquí tiene razón. La mayor parte del tiempo, Simon ni siquiera puede controlar su magia, ¿y tiene que salvar el mundo?]]> 544 Rainbow Rowell 842048394X Ѳí 5 5-stars 4.16 2015 Moriré besando a Simon Snow

Dr. Briana Ortiz’s life is seriously flatlining. Her divorce is just about finalized, her brother’s running out of time to find a kidney donor, and that promotion she wants? Oh, that’s probably going to the new man-doctor who’s already registering eighty-friggin�-seven on Briana’s “pain in my ass� scale. But just when all systems are set to hate, Dr. Jacob Maddox completely flips the game . . . by sending Briana a letter.

And it’s a really good letter. Like the kind that proves that Jacob isn’t actually Satan. Worse, he might be this fantastically funny and subversively likeable guy who’s terrible at first impressions. Because suddenly he and Bri are exchanging letters, sharing lunch dates in her “sob closet,� and discussing the merits of freakishly tiny horses. But when Jacob decides to give Briana the best gift imaginable—a kidney for her brother—she wonders just how she can resist this quietly sexy new doctor . . . especially when he calls in a favor she ’t refuse.]]> 416 Abby Jimenez 1538704390 Ѳí 5 2024-reads, 5-stars 4.29 2023 Yours Truly (Part of Your World, #2)

Rambling, old, unsmart and comfortable. A place where the family could settle; the children grow and play and explore. The rolling hills and meadows of Maine seemed a world away from the fume-choked dangers of Chicago.

Only the occasional big truck out on the two-lane highway, grinding up through the gears, hammering down the long gradients, growled out an intrusive note of threat.

But behind the house and away from the road: that was safe. Just a carefully clear path up into the woods where generations of local children have processed with the solemn innocence of the young, taking with them their dear departed pets for burial.

A sad place maybe, but safe. Surely a safe place. Not a place to seep into your dreams, to wake you, sweating with fear and foreboding...]]> 576 Stephen King 1416524347 Ѳí 5 2023-reads, 5-stars 3.90 1983 Pet Sematary

What Cassie doesn’t realize is that there’s more at risk than a few unsolved homicides—especially when she’s sent to live with a group of teens whose gifts are as unusual as her own. Sarcastic, privileged Michael has a knack for reading emotions, which he uses to get inside Cassie’s head—and under her skin. Brooding Dean shares Cassie’s gift for profiling, but keeps her at arm’s length.

Soon, it becomes clear that no one in the Naturals program is what they seem. And when a new killer strikes, danger looms closer than Cassie could ever have imagined.

De la autora superventas del New York Times Jennifer L. Armentrout llega el tercer libro de su saga De sangre y cenizas.

Ha sido la víctima y la superviviente�

Poppy jamás soñó que encontraría el amor que ha encontrado con el príncipe Casteel. Le gustaría disfrutar de su felicidad, pero primero deben liberar al hermano de Casteel y encontrar al suyo. Es una misión peligrosa y una de enormes consecuencias con las que ninguno de los dos había soñado. Porque Poppy es la Elegida, la Bendecida. La verdadera regente de Atlantia. Lleva en su interior la sangre del rey de los dioses. Por derecho propio, la corona y el reino son suyos.

La enemiga y la guerrera�

Lo único que Poppy siempre ha querido es controlar su propia vida, no las vidas de los demás, pero ahora debe elegir entre renunciar a su derecho de nacimiento o ceñirse la corona dorada y convertirse en la Reina de Carne y Fuego. Pero cuando los oscuros pecados del reino y sus secretos empapados en sangre por fin salen a la luz, un poder largo tiempo olvidado surge para convertirse en una verdadera amenaza. Y no se detendrá ante nada para asegurarse de que la corona jamás descanse sobre la cabeza de Poppy.

Una amante y un corazón gemelo�

Pero la mayor amenaza para ellos y para Atlantia es la que aguarda en el lejano oeste, donde la Reina de Sangre y Cenizas tiene sus propios planes, unos que lleva cientos de años esperando a cumplir. Poppy y Casteel deben plantearse lo imposible: viajar a las Tierras de los Dioses y despertar al rey en persona. Y a medida que secretos estremecedores y las traiciones más crueles salen a la luz, y emergen enemigos que amenazan todas las cosas por las que han luchado, Poppy y Casteel descubrirán lo lejos que están dispuestos a ir por su gente� y el uno por el otro.

Y ahora se convertirá en reina�]]> 804 Jennifer L. Armentrout Ѳí 5 2023-reads, 5-stars 4.36 2021 Una corona de huesos dorados (Sangre y cenizas, #3)

]]> <![CDATA[Un reino de carne y fuego (Sangre y cenizas, #2)]]> 59072434 ¿Es el amor más fuerte que la venganza?

Una traición�

Todo lo que ha creído Poppy jamás es mentira, incluido el hombre del que se estaba enamorando. Rodeada de pronto por gente que la ve como un símbolo de un reino monstruoso, apenas sabe quién es sin el velo de la Doncella. Pero lo que sí sabe es que nada es tan peligroso para ella como él. El Señor Oscuro. El príncipe de Atlantia. Quiere que ella se enfrente a él, y esa es una orden que está más que contenta de obedecer. Puede que la haya secuestrado, pero jamás la tendrá.

Una elección�

A Casteel Da’Neer se le conoce por muchos nombres y muchas caras. Sus mentiras son tan seductoras como sus manos. Sus verdades tan sensuales como su mordisco. Poppy sabe bien que no debe confiar en él. La necesita viva, sana e intacta para lograr sus objetivos. Pero él también es la única vía para que ella consiga lo que quiere: encontrar a su hermano Ian y comprobar con sus propios ojos si se ha convertido en un Ascendido desalmado. Trabajar con Casteel en lugar de contra él presenta sus propios riesgos. Él todavía la tienta con cada respiración, le ofrece todo lo que ha querido jamás. Casteel tiene planes para ella. Unos planes que podrían exponerla a un placer inimaginable y un dolor insondable. Planes que la obligarían a mirar más allá de todo lo que creía saber sobre sí misma. Y sobre él. Planes que podrían enlazar sus vidas de maneras inesperadas para las que ninguno de los dos reinos está preparado. Y ella es demasiado imprudente, está demasiado hambrienta, para resistirse a la tentación.

Un secreto�

Sin embargo, el malestar ha crecido en Atlantia mientras esperan el regreso de su príncipe. Los rumores de guerra se están extendiendo y Poppy está en el mismo centro de todo ello. El rey quiere utilizarla para enviar un mensaje. Los Descendentes quieren verla muerta. Los wolven se están volviendo más impredecibles. Y a medida que sus habilidades para percibir el dolor y las emociones comienzan a aumentar y fortalecerse, los atlantianos empiezan a temerla. Hay secretos oscuros en juego, secretos llenos de los pecados manchados de sangre de dos reinos que harían cualquier cosa por mantener la verdad oculta. Pero cuando la tierra empieza a temblar y los cielos empiezan a sangrar, puede que ya sea demasiado tarde.]]> 800 Jennifer L.

Cuando Carrie se retira del tenis, es la mejor jugadora que el mundo haya visto jamás. Ha batido todos los récords y ha conseguido veinte títulos de Grand Slam. Y si le preguntas, se merece cada uno de ellos. Lo ha sacrificado casi todo para convertirse en la mejor, con su padre como entrenador.

Pero seis años después de su retiro, Carrie se encuentra en las gradas del US Open de 1994, viendo cómo una tenista británica brutal e impresionante llamada Nicki Chan le arrebata el récord.

Con treinta y siete años, Carrie toma la monumental decisión de salir de su retiro para entrenar con su padre un último año, con la intención de recuperar su récord. Incluso si los medios deportivos dicen que nunca les gustaron las arpías. Incluso si su cuerpo no se mueve tan rápido como antes. E incluso si eso significa tragarse el orgullo para entrenar con un hombre al que una vez casi le abrió su corazón: Bowe Huntley. Al igual que ella, él tiene algo que demostrar antes de abandonar el deporte para siempre.

A pesar de todo, Carrie Soto ha regresado para una última temporada épica. En esta fascinante e inolvidable novela, Taylor Jenkins Reid cuenta una historia sobre el precio de la grandeza y una atleta legendaria que intenta hacer su gran regreso.

]]> <![CDATA[La biblioteca de la medianoche]]> 56420157
Nora Seed aparece, sin saber cómo, en la Biblioteca de la Medianoche, donde se le ofrece una nueva oportunidad para hacer las cosas bien. Hasta ese momento, su vida ha estado marcada por la infelicidad y el arrepentimiento.

Nora siente que ha defraudado a todos, y también a ella misma. Pero esto está a punto de cambiar.

Los libros de la Biblioteca de la Medianoche permitirán a Nora vivir como si hubiera hecho las cosas de otra manera. Con la ayuda de una vieja amiga, tendrá la opción de esquivar todo aquello que se arrepiente de haber hecho (o no haber hecho), en pos de la vida perfecta. Pero las cosas no siempre serán como imaginó que serían, y pronto sus decisiones enfrentarán a la Biblioteca y a ella misma en un peligro extremo. Nora deberá responder una última pregunta antes de que el tiempo se agote: ¿cuál es la mejor manera de vivir?]]> 336 Matt Haig 8413621658 Ѳí 5 5-stars 3.92 2020 La biblioteca de la medianoche

«Con el Círculo atrapado en una jugada de poder y la Corte de Vampiros tratando de arrastrarme hacia su mundo, lo único que todos tenemos claro es dejar Katmere significaría mi muerte segura. Tengo que luchar, no solo por mi vida, sino por la de todos. Solo sé que salvar a las personas que amo requerirá sacrificio. Quizás más de lo que puedo dar.»]]> 797 Tracy Wolff 8408240110 Ѳí 5 5-stars 4.40 2020 Furia (Anhelo, #2)

]]> <![CDATA[De sangre y cenizas (Sangre y cenizas, #1)]]> 58140805 Una Doncella�

Elegida desde su nacimiento para dar comienzo a una nueva era, la vida de Poppy nunca le ha pertenecido. La vida de la Doncella es solitaria. Jamás la tocarán. Jamás la mirarán. Jamás le hablarán. Jamás sentirá placer. Mientras espera al día de su Ascensión, preferiría estar con los guardias luchando contra el mal que se llevó a su familia que preparándose para que los dioses la encuentren lo bastante digna. Pero la elección nunca ha sido suya.

Un deber...

El futuro del reino entero recae sobre los hombros de Poppy, algo que ni siquiera está demasiado segura de querer para ella. Porque una Doncella tiene corazón. Y alma. Y deseo. Y cuando Hawke, un guardia de ojos dorados que ha jurado asegurar su Ascensión, entra en su vida, el destino y el deber se entremezclan con el deseo y la necesidad. Él incita su ira, hace que se cuestione todo aquello en lo que cree y la tienta con lo prohibido.

Un reino�

Abandonado por los dioses y temido por los mortales, un reino caído está surgiendo de nuevo, decidido a recuperar lo que cree que es suyo mediante la violencia y la venganza. Y a medida que la sombra de los malditos se acerca, la línea entre lo prohibido y lo correcto se difumina. Poppy no solo está a punto de perder el corazón y ser considerada indigna por los dioses, sino que también está a punto de perder la vida cuando los ensangrentados hilos que mantienen unido su mundo empiezan a deshilacharse.]]> 672 Jennifer L.

El poder es mucho más fácil de adquirir que retener. Jude aprendió esta lección cuando liberó su control sobre el rey malvado, Cardan, a cambio de un poder inconmensurable.

Ahora, como la reina de las hadas mortal exiliada, Jude es impotente y queda tambaleándose por la traición de Cardan. Ella espera su tiempo decidida a reclamar todo lo que él le quitó. La oportunidad llega en la forma de su engañosa hermana gemela, Taryn, cuya vida mortal está en peligro.

Jude debe arriesgarse a aventurarse de nuevo en el traicionero Faerie Court y confrontar sus sentimientos persistentes por Cardan, si desea salvar a su hermana. Pero Elfhame no es como lo dejó. La guerra se está gestando. Cuando Jude se desliza profundamente dentro de las líneas enemigas, se ve atrapada en la sangrienta política del conflicto.

Y, cuando se desata una maldición latente pero poderosa, el pánico se extiende por toda la tierra, obligándola a elegir entre su ambición y su humanidad ..]]> 360 Holly Black Ѳí 5 5-stars 4.43 2019 La reina de nada (Los habitantes del aire, #3)

]]> <![CDATA[Los siete maridos de Evelyn Hugo]]> 52061530
Monique no está precisamente en su mejor momento. Su marido la abandonó, y su vida profesional no avanza. Aun ignorando por qué Evelyn la ha elegido para escribir su biografía, Monique está decidida a aprovechar esa oportunidad para dar impulso a su carrera.

Convocada al lujoso apartamento de Evelyn, Monique escucha fascinada mientras la actriz le cuenta su historia. Desde su llegada a Los Ángeles en los años 50 hasta su decisión de abandonar su carrera en el espectáculo en los 80 —y, desde luego, los siete maridos que tuvo en ese tiempo�. Evelyn narra una historia de ambición implacable, amistad inesperada y un gran amor prohibido. Monique empieza a sentir una conexión muy real con la actriz legendaria, pero cuando el relato de Evelyn se acerca a su fin, resulta evidente que su vida se cruza con la de Monique de un modo trágico e irreversible.

Las aventuras épicas que crea Evelyn en el transcurso de su vida cautivarán a todas las lectoras. Este viaje, inmensamente adictivo, de una huraña estrella de Hollywood y su recorrido tumultuoso por la Meca del Cine llega con giros inesperados y un dramatismo muy satisfactorio.

]]> Juego de tronos 149074821 The New York Times «Cuando se juega al juego de tronos, solo se puede ganar o morir. No hay puntos intermedios.» En un mundo diferente al nuestro, en el que los veranos y los inviernos duran generaciones, un gran conflicto está a punto de estallar. Robert Baratheon ocupa el Trono de Hierro en el cálido y opulento sur de Poniente. Se lo arrebató tras una sangrienta guerra al último rey loco de la dinastía Targaryen, señores de dragones. Sin embargo, ahora su poder se ve en el norte, el Muro erigido para proteger el reino de las bestias y de los extraños se tambalea. Hace siglos que nadie ve a los caminantes blancos, pero ¿quiénes son entonces esos seres de ojos azules y fríos que se ocultan en las sombras de los bosques y que les arrebatan la vida y la mente a aquellos desafortunados que se cruzan en su camino? El final del verano está próximo, se acerca el invierno y solo un milagro podrá disipar las tinieblas. La crítica ha

]]> <![CDATA[El imperio final (Nacidos de la bruma, #1)]]> 58477819
Brandon Sanderson es el gran renovador de la fantasía del siglo XXI, con diecinueve millones de lectores en todo el mundo.

La saga Nacidos de la Bruma (Mistborn) es una obra imprescindible del Cosmere, el universo destinado a dar forma a la serie más extensa y fascinante jamás escrita en el ámbito de la fantasía épica.

Durante mil años han caído cenizas del cielo. Durante mil años nada ha florecido. Durante mil años los skaa han sido esclavizados y viven en la miseria, sumidos en un miedo inevitable. Durante mil años el Lord Legislador ha reinado con poder absoluto, dominando gracias al terror, a sus poderes y a su inmortalidad, ayudado por «obligadores» e «inquisidores», junto a la poderosa magia de la alomancia.

Pero los nobles a menudo han tenido trato sexual con jóvenes skaa y, aunque la ley lo prohíbe, algunos de sus bastardos han sobrevivido y heredado los poderes alománticos: son los «Nacidos de la Bruma» (Mistborn).

Ahora, Kelsier, el «superviviente», el único que ha logrado huir de los Pozos de Hathsin, ha encontrado a Vin, una pobre chica skaa con mucha suerte... Tal vez los dos, con el mejor equipo criminal jamás reunido, unidos a la rebelión que los skaa intentan desde hace mil años, logren cambiar el mundo y acabar con la atroz mano de hierro del Lord Legislador.]]> 672 Brandon Sanderson 8418037210 Ѳí 5 5-stars 4.61 2006 El imperio final (Nacidos de la bruma, #1)
