When Louise finds out her parents have died, she dreads going home. She doesn’t want to leave her daughter with her ex and fly to Charleston.

She doesn’t want to learn how to live without the two people who knew and loved her best in the world. Most of all, she doesn’t want to deal with her brother, Mark, who never left their hometown, gets fired from one job after another, and resents her success. Unfortunately, she’ll need his help to get the house ready for sale because it’ll take more than some new paint on the walls and clearing out a lifetime of memories to get this place on the market. But some houses don’t want to be sold, and their home has other plans for both of them…

Dani es una chica normal. O lo era hasta que se la tragó un libro y llegó a Albión, una dimensión regentada por una clase noble que, escondida entre risas fingidas y bailes a medianoche, impone sus normas. Un mundo en el que los visitantes, como ella, son esclavos a la merced de la nobleza.

Un paso en falso y la vida que Marcus ha construido con tanto esmero, escudado detrás de una máscara de indiferencia, podría derrumbarse a su alrededor.

Anne sin filtros

Anne Shirley siempre ha querido ser escritora y, aunque nadie lo sepa, lo es: online la conocen como Lady Cordelia y sus historias sobre El caballero del espejo, una de las series más famosas de los últimos tiempos, son de las más leídas de la red. Sólo Diana, su mejor amiga, artista y colaboradora, conoce el secreto de su doble identidad. Anne está acostumbrada a esa vida hasta que aparece Blythe, un nuevo autor que de la noche a la mañana supera su récord de lecturas y que, para colmo, no tiene ningún reparo en mostrar su identidad. Gilbert Blythe es tan encantador como irritante y Anne tiene que defender su puesto como sea, aunque quizá sería más fácil concentrarse en escribir si él no la distrajera tanto o si sus sentimientos por Diana no se estuvieran volviendo tan confusos.

La idea parece buena hasta que conoce a sus compañeros de grupo, con los que tendrá que convivir a todas horas: Raven, el actor con fama de cabeza hueca y un instinto único para el show business; Leo, la estrella de TikTok que parece estar siempre a la espera de algo terrible, y Val, el chico sin corazón que no piensa en nada más que en llegar a lo más alto, cueste lo que cueste.

A Good Girl's Guide to Murder series

Everyone in Fairview knows the story. Pretty and popular high school senior Andie Bell was murdered by her boyfriend, Sal Singh, who then killed himself. It was all anyone could talk about. And five years later, Pip sees how the tragedy still haunts her town. But she can't shake the feeling that there was more to what happened that day.

The School for Good and Evil

This year, best friends Sophie and Agatha are about to discover where all the lost children go: the fabled School for Good & Evil, where ordinary boys and girls are trained to be fairy tale heroes and villains. As the most beautiful girl in Gavaldon, Sophie has dreamed of being kidnapped into an enchanted world her whole life. With her pink dresses, glass slippers, and devotion to good deeds, she knows she’ll earn top marks at the School for Good and graduate a storybook princess. Meanwhile Agatha, with her shapeless black frocks, wicked pet cat, and dislike of nearly everyone, seems a natural fit for the School for Evil. But when the two girls are swept into the Endless Woods, they find their fortunes reversed—Sophie’s dumped in the School for Evil to take Uglification, Death Curses, and Henchmen Training, while Agatha finds herself in the School For Good, thrust amongst handsome princes and fair maidens for classes in Princess Etiquette and Animal Communication. But what if the mistake is actually the first clue to discovering who Sophie and Agatha really are…?

The Sunbearer Trials

Teo, a 17-year-old Jade semidiós and the trans son of Quetzal, goddess of birds, has never worried about the Trials…or rather, he’s only worried for others. His best friend Niya―daughter of Tierra, the god of earth―is one of the strongest heroes of their generation and is much too likely to be chosen this year. He also can’t help but worry (reluctantly, and under protest) for Aurelio, a powerful Gold semidiós and Teo’s friend-turned-rival who is a shoo-in for the Trials. Teo wouldn’t mind taking Aurelio down a notch or two, but a one-in-ten chance of death is a bit too close for Teo’s taste. But then, for the first time in over a century, Sol chooses a semidiós who isn’t a Gold. In fact, he chooses two: Xio, the 13-year-old child of Mala Suerte, god of bad luck, and…Teo. Now they must compete in five mysterious trials, against opponents who are both more powerful and better trained, for fame, glory, and their own survival.

So This Is Ever After

Arek hadn’t thought much about what would happen after he completed the prophecy that said he was destined to save the Kingdom of Ere from its evil ruler. So now that he’s finally managed to (somewhat clumsily) behead the evil king (turns out magical swords yanked from bogs don’t come pre-sharpened), he and his rag-tag group of quest companions are at a bit of a loss for what to do next.

Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda

Sixteen-year-old and not-so-openly gay Simon Spier prefers to save his drama for the school musical. But when an email falls into the wrong hands, his secret is at risk of being thrust into the spotlight. Now Simon is actually being blackmailed: if he doesn’t play wingman for class clown Martin, his sexual identity will become everyone’s business. Worse, the privacy of Blue, the pen name of the boy he’s been emailing, will be compromised. With some messy dynamics emerging in his once tight-knit group of friends, and his email correspondence with Blue growing more flirtatious every day, Simon’s junior year has suddenly gotten all kinds of complicated. Now, change-averse Simon has to find a way to step out of his comfort zone before he’s pushed out—without alienating his friends, compromising himself, or fumbling a shot at happiness with the most confusing, adorable guy he’s never met.
