by Melissa LucashenkoA gritty and darkly hilarious novel about a queer, First Nations Australian woman who returns home to face her family and protect their ancestors’ land.Winner of Australia’s Miles Franklin AwardWise-cracking Kerry Salter has spent her adulthood avoiding two things: her hometown and prison. A tough, generous, reckless woman accused of having too much lip, Kerry uses anger to fight the avalanche of bullshit the world spews. But now her Pop is dying and she’s an inch away from the lockup, so she heads south on a stolen Harley for one last visit.Kerry plans to spend twenty-four hours, tops, across the border. She quickly discovers, though, that Bundjalung country has a funny way of latching on to people—not to mention her chaotic family and the threat of a proposal to develop a prison on Granny Ava’s Island, the family’s spiritual home. On top of that, love may have found Kerry again when a good-looking white fella appears out of nowhere with eyes only for her. As the fight mounts to stop the development, old wounds open. Surrounded by the ghosts of their Elders and the memories of their ancestors, the Salters are driven by the deep need to make peace with their past while scrabbling to make sense of their present. Kerry just hopes they can come together in time to preserve Granny Ava’s legacy and save their ancestral land. “Because this is an authentic voice writing about what it means to be an Indigenous Australian in contemporary times, Lucashenko has taken on the tough issues that come with generational trauma—displacement, incarceration, abuse, racism, substance abuse, poverty, marginalisation.” —Sydney Morning Herald

Although André refuses to sell her the book despite her generous offers, Amalia is willing to great lengths to get her own way.

Running from an abusive relationship leads him into the arms of hard-nosed lycan Travis Chandler, who gives him little choice but to become a lycan too and join the Paranormal Bureau of Investigation. Out of options, Rick joins the weird organization, expecting some two weeks of training and an adjustment period. Tough luck, he doesn't get either. On his first day, his new partner offers to promote him to field agent if they get mated--less time wasted on training, more time on the field, and considering Rick is the only tracker the Bureau has on hand when a wave of strange murders hits the community, time is of the essence.

The Torching
by Marcy HeidishWith this spellbinding tale of mysticism, horror, and history, a gifted, award-winning writer breaks new ground. Marcy Heidish gives us a novel to rival the works of Anne Rice, Alfred Hitchcock, or Edgar Allan Poe-- a disturbing story about the interplay of present and past, lightness and dark, grace and evil. This is a tale of an eighteenth- century midwife, apothecary, and accused priestess of the occult, Evangeline Smith, who has been sentenced to burn as a witch in the tiny town of Maidstone, Maryland. Writing her story is Alice Grey, a contemporary novelist and owner of a rare book store in Washington, D.C. As Alice investigates Evangeline's life and records the extraordinary events that brought her to her fiery death two centuries before, the destinies of the two women begin to intertwine. Inexplicable things begin to happen. Objects move of their own volition, spontaneous fires pose ominous perils, people are murdered. By the time Alice uncovers the terrifying truth of what really happened in Maidstone, events have spun out of control. Skillfully interweaving the immediate with the historical, the spiritual with the commonplace, Heidish moves us suddenly and swiftly beyond the realm of rationality toward a breathtaking climax.

by Johan TheorinUn relato inquietante y fantasmagórico sobre la tragedia de una familia y los secretos enterrados en la isla de Öland Un crudo invierno golpea la isla sueca de Öland. Katrine y Joakim Westin han abandonado la ciudad y se han mudado con sus hijos a la isla, donde han comprado la vieja y señorial casa de Eel Point, junto al faro. Sin embargo, su idílico retiro termina cuando el cadáver de Katrine es hallado en la playa. A partir de ese funesto día, Joakim tendrá que luchar para mantener la cordura y ocuparse de sus hijos. Además, la casa que a priori parecía el perfecto hogar se va convirtiendo en una maligna influencia para él. Joakim nunca ha sido supersticioso, pero ¿de dónde proceden los susurros que oye en Eel Point? ¿Con quién habla su hija en sueños noche tras noche? El fin de año está al caer y una terrible tormenta de nieve se acerca a la isla. Joakim teme que las historias marineras que ha oído sobre maldiciones en Eel Point sean ciertas... La tormenta de nieve es el segundo volumen de El cuarteto de Öland, una serie que lleva vendidos más de 50.000 ejemplares en España. La crítica ha dicho... «Evocador e inolvidable, Theorin es dueño de un sutil sentido de la amenaza que va creciendo en cada página.» Simon Beckett «El último fenómeno en Suecia... un best seller con tan solo dos títulos publicados.» The Times «El eco de los muertos confirma a Johan Theorin como uno de los mejores escritores suecos. Con su primera novela ya recibió el aplauso de la crítica, varios premios y se convirtió en un best seller. Con su nueva novela, un estudio de dolor, la pérdida y la vulnerabilidad, se convierte en el autor más sólido del género.» The Guardian «Uno de los acontecimientos editoriales del año en lo que a novela nórdica se refiere.» Publishers Weekly «Magistralmente escrita. Una joya de novela de género. Con Theorin uno tiene el impulso de recomendarlo a nuestros mejores amigos y familiares.» Good Book Guide

Todo origina con la brutal muerte de un anciano y con la implacable exigencia del asesino: «Si me dais lo que quiero, me marcharé.» La crítica ha dicho...«Stephen King: un gran escritor.»El País
