JUVENILES Y JOVEN ADULTO

Es la mañana de la cosecha que dará inicio a la décima competencia anual Los juegos del hambre. En el Capitolio, Coriolanus Snow de dieciocho años, se prepara para su única oportunidad de alcanzar la gloria como mentor en los Juegos. La antiguamente poderosa casa de Snow ha atravesado tiempos difíciles y su destino depende de la remota posibilidad que Coriolanus pueda superar en gracia, astucia y maniobras a sus compañeros de estudios para ser el mentor del tributo ganador. Las probabilidades están en su contra. Se le ha asignado la humillante tarea de ser mentor del tributo femenino del Distrito 12, el más bajo de lo bajo. Sus destinos están ahora completamente entrelazados: cada decisión que tome Coriolano podría conducirles al éxito o al fracaso, al triunfo o a la ruina. Dentro de la arena, será una lucha a muerte. Fuera de la arena, Coriolanus siente pena por su tributo condenado al fracaso… y debe balancear su necesidad de seguir las reglas con su deseo de sobrevivir sin importar lo que cueste.

Como una de las humanas que acabaron en este planeta helado y, tras todo lo que han vivido, Kira debería contentarse con estar a salvo y tener un nuevo hogar. No solo ha visto que en este planeta las mujeres son respetadas y hasta atesoradas, sino que incluso un alien en particular, Aehako, ha dejado claro que está interesado en ella. De hecho, por más que Kira lo intenta, le resulta difícil mantenerlo alejado, aunque lo que en realidad quiere es agarrarlo por los cuernos e insistir en que la lleve a sus pieles. Pero Kira tiene un terrible secreto, varios, en realidad. Y está convencida de que si Aehako supiera toda la verdad, no podría amarla. Sin embargo, hay algo si cabe más preocupante: los extraterrestres que las secuestraron están de regreso y, gracias al traductor de su oído, pueden encontrarla. Su presencia aquí pone a todos en peligro, pero ¿puede Kira renunciar a su nueva vida y al hombre que más desea? ¿Seguirá queriéndola si le cuenta sus secretos?

A romance writer who no longer believes in love and a literary writer stuck in a rut engage in a summer-long challenge that may just upend everything they believe about happily ever afters. Augustus Everett is an acclaimed author of literary fiction. January Andrews writes bestselling romance. When she pens a happily ever after, he kills off his entire cast. They're polar opposites. In fact, the only thing they have in common is that for the next three months, they're living in neighboring beach houses, broke, and bogged down with writer's block. Until, one hazy evening, one thing leads to another and they strike a deal designed to force them out of their creative ruts: Augustus will spend the summer writing something happy, and January will pen the next Great American Novel. She'll take him on field trips worthy of any rom-com montage, and he'll take her to interview surviving members of a backwoods death cult (obviously). Everyone will finish a book and no one will fall in love. Really.

As a bloodline vampire, Lizzie has never had a problem taking what she wants, and right now what she wants are the family heirlooms that were stolen from her and a portal home. Too bad even that short list is impossible to accomplish on her own—and her allies have bigger things to worry about. When they rescue a selkie from captivity, it’s the perfect solution to her problem. Lizzie needs a guide through Threshold and the selkie needs someone to help her get her skin back. Maeve didn’t choose to give up her skin—it was stolen from her. Now she’s in an uneasy partnership with a dangerous woman who seems more apt to kill than to share a kind word. It’s terrifying…and a bit alluring. Even though she knows it will end in heartbreak, Maeve can’t help being drawn to Lizzie and her all-too-pleasurable vampire bite. Unfortunately, the danger to Maeve’s heart is the least of her worries. The ship Lizzie’s chasing belongs to the Cŵn Annwn, and they don’t take kindly to people who steal from them. Not even Lizzie’s viciousness or Maeve’s selkie strength will be enough to save them if the Cŵn Annwn seek retribution…

She may be down . . . but her fangs are out. After defeating Lucifer and saving the world, Schuyler Van Allen woke up in an entirely different reality and learned she had to do it all over again. Find the villain, take him down, save the world. But after losing her only allies, Jack Force–who ran off to protect her–and Kingsley Martin–who was captured and killed by the enemy, Schuyler has to face facts. She’s going to have to do this alone . . . or is she? When a mysterious new girl named Eoife shows up at Duchesne Academy, Schuyler at first thinks she must be yet another enemy, but she soon finds out that Eoife could be the answer Schuyler’s been looking for. A member of an ages old secret society of heroes called the Palladins, Eoife is here to help–and she has friends–lots of them. United with another unlikely ally in Max Force, the group might just have a fighting chance–if they can find and rescue Jack, get Max’s Blue Blood powers back, solve the theory of chaos magic and take down a friend turned foe. Oh, and fight off an army of Silver Bloods and otherworldly monsters led by the devil himself. Can Schuyler finally put an end to the war between heaven and hell? Or will she have another world to save each time she opens her eyes?

One summer. Two rivals. A plot twist they didn’t see coming… Nora Stephens’ life is books—she’s read them all—and she is not that type of heroine. Not the plucky one, not the laidback dream girl, and especially not the sweetheart. In fact, the only people Nora is a heroine for are her clients, for whom she lands enormous deals as a cutthroat literary agent, and her beloved little sister Libby. Which is why she agrees to go to Sunshine Falls, North Carolina for the month of August when Libby begs her for a sisters’ trip away—with visions of a small town transformation for Nora, who she’s convinced needs to become the heroine in her own story. But instead of picnics in meadows, or run-ins with a handsome country doctor or bulging-forearmed bartender, Nora keeps bumping into Charlie Lastra, a bookish brooding editor from back in the city. It would be a meet-cute if not for the fact that they’ve met many times and it’s never been cute. If Nora knows she’s not an ideal heroine, Charlie knows he’s nobody’s hero, but as they are thrown together again and again—in a series of coincidences no editor worth their salt would allow—what they discover might just unravel the carefully crafted stories they’ve written about themselves.
