"Hay tres cosas de las que estoy completamente segura. Primera, Edward es un vampiro. Segunda, una parte de él se muere por beber mi sangre. Y tercera, estoy total y perdidamente enamorada de él..."
"Cuando el papel me cortó el dedo, sólo salió una gota de sangre del pequeño rasguño. Entonces, todo pasó muy rápido. "¡No!", rugió Edward. Se arrojó sobre mi, lanzándome contra la mesa y aterricé en un montón de cristales hechos añicos. Jasper chocó contra Edward y el sonido pareció el choque de dos rocas... Aturdida y desorientada, miré la brillante sangre roja que salía de mi brazo y después los ojos enfebrecidos de seis vampiros repentinamente hambrientos..."

Trip. My parents started using that word about a year ago—“one day, you’ll take a trip to be with us. Like an adventure.”
Javier Zamora’s adventure is a three-thousand-mile journey from his small town in El Salvador, through Guatemala and Mexico, and across the U.S. border. He will leave behind his beloved aunt and grandparents to reunite with a mother who left four years ago and a father he barely remembers. Traveling alone amid a group of strangers and a “coyote” hired to lead them to safety, Javier expects his trip to last two short weeks.
At nine years old, all Javier can imagine is rushing into his parents’ arms, snuggling in bed between them, and living under the same roof again. He cannot foresee the perilous boat trips, relentless desert treks, pointed guns, arrests and deceptions that await him; nor can he know that those two weeks will expand into two life-altering months alongside fellow migrants who will come to encircle him like an unexpected family.
A memoir as gripping as it is moving, Solito provides an immediate and intimate account not only of a treacherous and near-impossible journey, but also of the miraculous kindness and love delivered at the most unexpected moments. Solito is Javier Zamora’s story, but it’s also the story of millions of others who had no choice but to leave home.
In Mary’s world there are simple truths.
The Sisterhood always knows best.
The Guardians will protect and serve.
The Unconsecrated will never relent.
And you must always mind the fence that surrounds the village; the fence that protects the village from the Forest of Hands and Teeth.
But, slowly, Mary’s truths are failing her. And when the fence is breached, her world is thrown into chaos.
Now she must choose between her village and her future, between the one she loves and the one who loves her. And she must face the truth about the Forest of Hands and Teeth. Could there be life outside a world surrounded by so much death?
Rose loves Dimitri, Dimitri might love Tasha, and Mason would die to be with Rose…
It’s winter break at St. Vladimir’s, but Rose is feeling anything but festive. A massive Strigoi attack has put the school on high alert, and now the Academy’s crawling with Guardians—including Rose’s hard-hitting mother, Janine Hathaway. And if handto- hand combat with her mom wasn’t bad enough, Rose’s tutor Dimitri has his eye on someone else, her friend Mason’s got a huge crush on her, and Rose keeps getting stuck in Lissa’s head while she’s making out with her boyfriend, Christian! The Strigoi are closing in, and the Academy’s not taking any risks…. This year, St. Vlad’s annual holiday ski trip is mandatory.
But the glittering winter landscape and the posh Idaho resort only create the illusion of safety. When three friends run away in an offensive move against the deadly Strigoi, Rose must join forces with Christian to rescue them. But heroism rarely comes without a price…
Mara is dead—mostly.
Infected with a virus that broke the world and turned her into a monster, Mara awakens in a facility to learn a treatment has been found. No longer a Tick, Mara is placed in an experimental relocation program. But she’s sent to live with the best friend she hasn’t seen since the world ended. Since their first and only kiss.
Rory is alive—barely.
And her nightmares are as vicious as the Ticks that infected Mara and permanently injured Rory. Even after the Island—one of the surviving communities—rebuilds itself, Rory fears a Tick attack from the mainland at any time. But the Ticks that show up are medicated—not quite themselves but no longer raging monsters. Among them is the first girl Rory ever loved...the one she thought was gone forever.
As Mara and Rory struggle with the violence they’ve inflicted and experienced, they must lean on each other to survive their brutal world—or risk losing each other all over again.
