CRIADORES 2: El rescate
by Charlie DayeHace años, Tustin tuvo una aventura con una hermosa bruja elemental llamada Tonya. Lo que ninguno esperaba era el niño que esa noche crearía. Con regalos muy especiales de los linajes de su madre y su padre, Ashley acaba de convertirse en el producto más popular en el mercado mágico. Cuando su vida se ve amenazada, Tonya la envía mágicamente con su padre, quien no tiene conocimiento de su existencia, con solo el uso de un recuerdo como guía. Mientras continúa la batalla por la vida de Ashley, Tustin libra una guerra contra el aquelarre de brujas que ha secuestrado a Tonya. Y con la ayuda de la mejor amiga de Tonya, Ava, conciben un plan que seguramente será una prueba completa, excepto que no esperaban que se llevaran a Ava. Bronx ha sido un ejecutor de Colony desde que tiene memoria. Su vida estaba bien hasta que Ava apareció afirmando que eran almas gemelas destinadas.

A medida que la guerra entre las dos especies llega a su clímax, el final es algo que ninguna de las partes esperaba jamás. El galardonado autor P.D.

CRISPR'd: A Medical Thriller
by Judy ForemanFor fans of Julia Buckley and Tess Gerritsen, a debut featuring a killer in plain sight using a microscopic murder weapon, the cutting edge gene-editing technology: CRISPR. Boston geneticist Dr. Saul Kramer is on the cutting edge of genetic disease research. Revered among clients at his IVF clinic, he harbors a dark secret. In addition to helping infertile couples conceive healthy babies, Dr. Kramer is obsessed, for his own dark reasons, with an alternate mission as well. In certain patients, he uses the gene editing technology CRISPR to tamper with embryos, not to improve the health of the embryos, but to replace a healthy gene with a deadly mutation. A young female journalist, Sammie Fuller, begins to suspect what he has done when three infants conceived at his clinic die mysteriously, all at about one year old. She and a molecular biologist work secretly in his MIT lab to identify any genetic defects in the deceased children and together make a chilling discovery. Thanks to Sammie&’s blockbuster stories, which go viral, Dr. Kramer is charged with murder and winds up in court. In the subsequent dramatic court scenes, his feisty defense lawyer stuns the world with her defense. Set in this uneasy time of genetic engineering with CRISPR technology, Foreman, spins a compelling tale of love, revenge, and murder.

CRUSH: Writers Reflect on Love, Longing, and the Lasting Power of Their First Celebrity Crush
by Cathy Alter Dave Singleton“Jodi Picoult, James Franco, and Stephen King are among the starry-eyed standouts” in this collection of captivating essays about a first celebrity crush (Elle).Crush brings together stories of heartbreak, humiliation, and hilarity from a roster of popular luminaries, including James Franco, Carrie Fisher, Stephen King, Roxane Gay, Jodi Picoult, Emily Gould, and Hanna Rosin, who share intimate memories of that first intense taste of love. Here are funny, whimsical, sometimes cringe-worthy tales of falling head over heels for River Phoenix, Mary Tyler Moore, Howard Cosell, Jared Leto, and a host of other pop culture icons.A few contributors channeled their devotion into obsessively writing embarrassing fan letters. Some taped pics in school lockers. Others decorated their bedroom walls with posters. For tweenaged Karin Tanabe, it was discovering bad boy Andy Garcia—playing the gun-loving mobster Vincent Corleone in The Godfather III. Barbara Graham unsuccessfully staked out an apartment on Park Avenue for a glimpse of her blue-eyed soulmate, Paul Newman. There was only one puppy for six-year-old Jodi Picoult—Donny Osmond—while Jamie Brisick’s pre-teen addiction was Speed Racer.Swoon-worthy and unforgettable, the essays in Crush will leave you laughing, make you cry, and keep you enthralled—just like your first celebrity crush.“Charming.” —Entertainment Weekly“A wonderful collection.” —People, a People Book of the Week“Enthralling.” —In Touch Weekly“[A] box of treats . . . There’s a lot to enjoy in these three dozen pieces.” —The Washington Post“The seemingly lightweight premise of an anthology built around celebrity crushes yields an outstanding selection of poignant and thought-provoking stories.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
CRUZ INVERTIDA, LA (EBOOK)
by Marcos AguinisLa cruz invertida, novela ganadora del Premio Planeta de España en 1970, puede considerarse un mordaz fresco de Latinoamérica. La acción se desenvuelve en un país indeterminado, pero sintetiza al continente y expresa nostalgia por su unidad perdida. Fue calificada de "profética" por la intensidad de sus denuncias y por anticiparse a la dictadura de los setenta. Aún mantiene vigencia entre cientos de miles de lectores. El hombre, contradictorio y abismal, abre su anatomía en diversos cortes. Algunos personajes asumen rasgos caricaturescos. Su presencia y pensamiento en distintos planos suelen enhebrarse mediante el leit-motiv de la epístola, cursiva, puntuación o crueldad. La cruz invertida provoca continuamente la reflexión. Numerosos capítulos llevan el título de los libros bíblicos en que se inspiran, integrando una cerrada unidad. Su lenguaje refleja el rostro del continente dionisíaco: luminoso, enigmático, irónico, grotesco, voluble, sádico, tierno y casi siempre simbólico. Como en la Biblia -novela del cosmos-, la totalidad pretende ser absorbida (y con ella el Bien, el Mal, el Gris), pero la frustración amputa proyectos.

CSI: CSI: Miami (CSI #No. 7)
by Donn CortezBy air, sea, and land the members of the Miami-Dade Crime Lab are called out. In a field outside the Everglades a balloon has just set down; the lone man inside the basket is dead -- an apparent suicide. A yacht riddled with bullets limps into the Port of Miami; only a gravely wounded hijacker survives, confessing that there are drugs somewhere on board, but he can't find them. A local journalist, looking to break out of the rat race with a novel based on the people he covers on his beat, is found dead. In the yacht's galley is a record-setting sunfish that seems to be the key piece of evidence to just what was being smuggled on the ship, yet the lab is stumped when they discover no more than the normal parasites infesting the fish. A raunchy video of a citrus heiress having sex in a public place gives her the motive to kill the journalist-turned-novelist, but she has an alibi. All small pieces of the puzzles that Horatio Caine and the member of his team have to unravel to find out why all these people were killed. Before it is over the members of the Miami-Dade Crime Lab are caught up in an intrigue that reaches to the heart of Castro's Cuba.
