JUVENILES Y JOVEN ADULTO

En la Noche de Kupala, Dymitr llega a los bajos fondos de Chicago, rebosantes de magia y monstruos, con una peligrosa misión: recoger la flor del helecho y ofrecérsela a una criatura maldita a cambio de que le ayude a encontrar a la legendaria bruja Baba Yaga. Ala es una zmora, una criatura que se alimenta del miedo humano, y sufre una maldición familiar que la está matando lentamente. Está lo bastante desesperada como para acceder a lo que le pide Dymitr, aunque no conozca sus motivos. Durante el transcurso de una noche, ambos arriesgarán sus vidas para encontrar a Baba Yaga e iniciarán una frágil amistad… Pero si Ala descubre el secreto que Dymitr está escondiendo, podría ser el fin.

HALLIE A los once años, mi familia se mudó al lado de la suya. A los trece, fue mi primer amor. A los dieciséis, nos enamoramos el uno del otro. Y a los diecinueve, nos rompimos mutuamente el corazón. Seis años después, he conseguido unas prácticas con un famoso diseñador de interiores en otra ciudad. Por desgracia, la misma en la que él juega al hockey. Pensaba que Chicago era lo suficientemente grande como para evitarlo, hasta que me llevo la sorpresa de mi vida y, sin saberlo, me mudo justo a la puerta de al lado. ¿Lo peor? El proyecto de reforma que me han asignado, con el que espero convertir esas prácticas en el trabajo a tiempo completo de mis sueños… … es su casa. Pero ¿cómo se supone que voy a transformar su nidito de soltero en un hogar familiar cuando ni siquiera soportamos estar en la misma habitación? Puede que una vez amara a Rio DeLuca, pero ya no soy esa chica. RIO Nunca pensé que sería el último soltero de mi grupo de amigos. Pero tras años intentando encontrar el amor, he llegado a la conclusión de que quizá ya no exista para mí. Eso hasta que, sin querer, contrato a Hallie Hart para que reforme mi casa y nuestra vieja historia me hace evocar recuerdos que he mantenido en secreto durante años. A ver, hay algo que mis amigos no saben. Esa conexión que perseguía desde que me mudé a Chicago, esa persona a la que algunos buscan durante toda la vida... Yo ya la había encontrado a los doce años. Y, ahora, la única chica a la que he amado se muda a la casa de al lado. Otra vez.

James Anderson had a plan. Or half of one. All that matters is that he managed to do what his older brother, the famous Aaron Warner Anderson, never did: infiltrate Ark Island, the last refuge of The Reestablishment. In the past decade no outsider has breached the stronghold of the authoritarian regime, but James is in. In a prison cell, sure, but as far as James is concerned, a win is a win. It’s been ten years since the fall of The Reestablishment. Ten years since the notorious duo—Juliette Ferrars and Aaron Warner Anderson—led a worldwide rebellion and established the New Republic of the West. But after a decade of unsettling quiet, The Reestablishment is ready to make a devastating move, and they have the perfect person for the job. Rosabelle Wolff had a plan. She always has a plan. On Ark Island, where constant surveillance is packaged as security, even emotions must be experienced with caution. A trained assassin, her every movement is monitored by synthetic intelligence—and when she’s given an order to kill, she never hesitates.

The invitation arrives out of the blue. In it, Matilda discovers a father she’s never met. Kingsley Cello is a visionary, a reclusive artist. And when he asks her to spend the summer at his seaside home, Hidden Beach, Matilda expects to find a part of herself she’s never fully understood. Instead, she finds Meer, her long-lost, openhearted brother; Brock, a former child star battling demons; and brooding, wild Tatum, who just wants her to leave their crumbling sanctuary. With Kingsley nowhere to be seen, Matilda must delve into the twisted heart of Hidden Beach to uncover the answers she’s desperately craving. But secrets run thicker than blood, and blood runs like seawater. And everyone here is lying.

Audrey Barbour has had enough of following the rules. Eighteen years of being the perfect daughter—exceptional grades, enviable college acceptances, tame dating history—and still, her parents don’t trust her enough to let her study her passion, glassblowing, on a prestigious fellowship. So when her best friend Henry proposes an outrageous fake-dating scheme to win back his ex-girlfriend, it feels like the first step to shaking up her perfect life. And the second?

But when her best intentions start to unravel, Audrey will have to reckon with who she is, what she wants, and what it really means to play life by her rules—all with her heart on the line.
