Al garete
by Emilio BuesoUna distopía que plantea con crudeza el futuro al que se enfrentan los náufragos terrestres debido al cambio climático. Bueso plantea una desasosegante historia de supervivencia con una gran carga medioambiental localizada en una caravana de desechos flotantes. De fondo, recogiendo en su irreverente estilo una tradición que va de Noé al cambio climático, el autor hace sonar el rumor de los terroríficos castigos que seguramente merecemos. Esos mismos que tal vez, envanecidos, hayamos empezado ya a alimentar sin darnos cuenta.

All's Fair in Mate Bonds and Publishing
by Alana AnkhFor Killian Marsden, werewolf romance is overrated. After all, he should know, since he's a half-werewolf and an editor for a romance-publishing house. He's tired of reading mate bond fairytales, because real life doesn't work that way. In the real world, Alphas abandon their half-breed children. Not that Killian's jaded or anything. Simply realistic. So when werewolf Alpha Brett comes knocking, demanding explanations on a rejected manuscript, Killian reels away, or at least tries to. Brett is a walking, talking Alpha cliché: big, possessive, and growly. His last name is Wolfe, for crying out loud. But Brett is also trustworthy, devoted to his pack, and a little silly when in love. Soon, Killian discovers that maybe, just maybe, he might love Brett in return. Unfortunately, Killian is not the only one who wants to claim Brett. He will have to set aside his beliefs about mate bonds and deadbeats if he wants his own happily ever after werewolf romance.
Alpha Divided: Alpha Girl 3 (Alpha Girls #3)
by Aileen ErinFrom USA Today Bestselling Author Aileen Erin Life has been crazy since Tessa McCaide moved to Texas. She’s gone from being a normal-ish girl with visions to a super-powered werewolf. She’s fought off vampires and broken a nearly unbreakable curse. And she’s got a hot mate, Dastien Laurent, to keep her busy. Things are looking up until the full moon ceremony rolls around. Before Tessa can strengthen her bond with Dastien, the local coven crashes the gates, demanding that Tessa—their heir apparent—be returned. If the pack wants to avoid a war with the witches, handing Tessa over is the only option. Tessa doesn’t want to cause an all-out fight, but joining a dark-magic coven isn’t on her to-do list, especially if embracing her magic side means parting with Dastien. When the coven leader tries to control Tessa with dark-magic, Tessa realizes she has to dismantle the coven or prepare the pack for war. Either choice will change her life—and her world—forever.“I am in complete love with this book as I have been with the series so far.

The Apocalypse
by T. M. Williams"A sick part of me hoped they would run after her, kill her and maybe get their feed -- giving us one more uneventful night and leaving us alone. Don't judge me. Ethics and morality no longer exist in our world. It's a luxury of the past, afforded only to those who had future." T.M. Williams changes the cycle of the zombie evolution from extermination to adapation in this new generation of the Undead. The year is 2021 and the infection is spreading rapidly through the world. These zombies are conniving, smart, quick, and acting on raw primal urges, robbing the world of humanity. They possess an unnatural intelligence and completely lack a moral compass. View the apocalypse from the eyes of the innocent to those newly infected -- from individuals such as the President of the United States to a mother protecting her child at all costs, making decisions no parent could expect. The Apocalypse takes the reader on a psychological and emotional thrill ride with an ending sure to leave you thinking long after the last page has been turned.
