Despair Avenue
by A. P. Hernández“The crackle of dead leaves beneath my feet and the wisp of warm air caressing my face like an invisible hand will forever linger in my mind. Suddenly, as I was walking, I simply fell to the ground, lifeless.” This could easily be the ending of a novel, but in Despair Avenue it’s only the beginning. With his death, the protagonist finds himself trapped on a kind of threshold between life and death. His journey leads him to his former place of residence and visits to family members. It’s only then he realizes how much they’ve changed and the great danger they’re in.

Worse, the Gran Cruzada—a vast Dom army that was marching on the far Californias to eject yet another heretic foe—might&’ve already been recalled to face Cayce&’s soldiers.Time has become more precious than ever, and before Lewis Cayce can even try to implement his plan for total victory, he and his force must brave their greatest challenge yet—a brutal fight against a larger, better-trained army whose commander has a gift for strategy to rival Cayce&’s own.

Lots of questions.A celebrity in her own right, Elise St. John would rather focus on sorting out Kitty’s affairs than deal with the press.

The truth behind Kitty's ascent to stardom from her beginnings in the segregated South threatens to expose a web of unexpected family ties, debts owed, and debatable crimes that could, with one pull, unravel the all-American fabric of the St. John sisters and those closest to them. As Elise digs deeper into Kitty's past, she must also turn the lens upon herself, confronting the gifts and burdens of her own choices and the power that the secrets of the dead hold over the living. Did You Hear About Kitty Karr? is a sprawling page-turner set against the backdrop of the Hollywood machine, an insightful and nuanced look at the inheritances of family, race, and gender—and the choices some women make to break free of them.

Discordia (La Biblioteca de lo Profano 2 #2)
by Jb TrepagnierOdio perder y parece que estoy en racha. El cuadro de Dorian Gray nunca estuvo en la cámara acorazada de la biblioteca. Actualmente no tenemos ni idea de dónde está y la única persona que puede rastrearlo probablemente esté secuestrada en un almacén con todo tipo de objetos malditos. La polla de Balthazar sigue maldita y no hay forma fácil de quitarla. Ya lo empeoré una vez. Espero que no se caiga esta vez. Estaba totalmente en contra de casarme con Reyson cuando despertó y anunció que yo sería su nueva esposa, pero mi determinación al respecto está empezando a debilitarse. Empieza a importarme el maldito dios. Las únicas personas que saben dónde está el cuadro de Dorian son Dorian y el maestro demonio de Bram. Incluso si encontramos a Dorian, no podemos matarlo sin su pintura. Sé mejor que nadie que cuando un brujo no quiere que te metas en sus cosas, los resultados suelen ser fatales. Entiendo que necesitamos al señor de los demonios, pero si todos estamos arriesgando nuestras vidas para sacarlo de esa trampa, será mejor que le conceda la libertad a Bram porque me gusta tener a ese sabueso infernal cerca. Empiezo a preocuparme por toda esta gente que se ha colado en mi vida y en mi biblioteca, pero echo de menos los días normales aquí ayudando con maldiciones, hechizos y disputas territoriales. Me gustaría desaparecer en nuestra sección erótica durante un rato y fingir que Dorian Gray no está construyendo un ejército sobrenatural.
Discordia: Perché Scegliere il Romanzo Paranormale (La Biblioteca del Profano 2 #2)
by Jb TrepagnierOdio perdere, e non è proprio il mio periodo. Il ritratto di Dorian Gray non era mai stato nel caveau della biblioteca. Non sappiamo ancora dove si trovi, e l’unica persona che può rintracciarlo probabilmente è tenuta ostaggio in un container insieme a un sacco di oggetti maledetti. Il cazzo di Balthazar è ancora maledetto, e non c’è un metodo semplice per sistemarlo. Già una volta ho peggiorato la situazione. Spero che stavolta non si stacchi. Ero totalmente contraria al matrimonio con Reyson quando si è svegliato e ha annunciato che sarei stata la sua nuova moglie, ma la mia risoluzione comincia a vacillare… Inizio a tenere a quel cavolo di dio. Le uniche persone che sanno dove si trova il ritratto di Dorian sono Dorian e il demone padrone di Bram. Anche se troviamo Dorian, non possiamo ucciderlo senza il suo dipinto. So fin troppo bene che quando una strega non vuole che metti il naso tra le sue cose, il risultato di solito è fatale. Capisco che ci serve il capo demone, ma visto come stiamo tutti rischiando la vita per liberarlo, è meglio che liberi Bram perché mi piace avere quel Mastino intorno. Inizio a tenere a tutta la gente che ha fatto irruzione nella mia vita e nella mia biblioteca, ma mi mancano i giorni normali in cui aiutavo con le maledizioni, gli incantesimi e le dispute territoriali. Vorrei scomparire nella nostra sezione di letteratura erotica per un po’ e fare finta che Dorian Gray non stia assemblando un esercito sovrannaturale.

Do You Remember Being Born?: A Novel
by Sean MichaelsScotiabank Giller Prize-winner Sean Michaels' luminous new novel takes readers on a lyrical joy ride—seven, epic days in Silicon Valley with a tall, formidable poet (inspired by the real-life Marianne Moore) and her unusual new collaborator, a digital mind just one month old. It's both a love letter to and an aching examination of art-making, family, identity and belonging.Dear Marian, the letter from the Company begins. You are one of the great writers of this century.At 75, Marian Ffarmer is almost as famous for her signature tricorn hat and cape as for her verse. She has lived for decades in the one-bedroom New York apartment she once shared with her mother, miles away from any other family, dedicating herself to her art. Yet recently her certainty about her choices has started to fray, especially when she thinks about her only son, now approaching middle age with no steady income. Into that breach comes the letter: an invitation to the Silicon Valley headquarters of one of the world's most powerful companies in order to make history by writing a poem.Marian has never collaborated with anyone, let alone a machine, but the offer is too lucrative to resist, and she boards a plane to San Francisco with dreams of helping her son. In the Company's serene and golden Mind Studio, she encounters Charlotte, their state-of-the-art poetry bot, and is startled to find that it has written 230,442 poems in the last week, though it claims to only like two of them.Over the conversations to follow, the poet is by turns intrigued, confused, moved and frightened by Charlotte's vision of the world, by what it knows and doesn't know ("Do you remember being born?" it asks her. Of course Marian doesn't, but Charlotte does.) This is a relationship, a friendship, unlike anything Marian has known, and as it evolves—and as Marian meets strangers at swimming pools, tortoises at the zoo, a clutch of younger poets, a late-night TV host and his synthetic foam set—she is forced to confront the secrets of her past and the direction of her future. Who knew that a disembodied mind could help bend Marian's life towards human connection, that friendship and family are not just time-eating obligations but soul-expanding joys. Or that belonging to one&’s art means, above all else, belonging to the world.
