Caminos extremos
by Noelia Belén Liotti¿Y si tu única opción de sobrevivir fuera confiar en un desconocido? La calma que la doctora Candelaria Satie vivía era una gran mentira camuflada. Ante el repentino secuestro de su mejor amiga, su vida se ve amenazada de forma drástica. Del modo más impensado, sus primos y ella quedan atrapados entre el mafioso más importante de toda la Argentina y una farmacéutica corrupta. Sin embargo, ellos no están solos. Marco Modric, un viejo amigo de sus primos, está decidido a luchar a su lado. ¿Quién era ese hombre de mirada inextricable? ¿Qué ocultaba la muralla azul de sus ojos? ¿Sería él su benefactor o un verdadero farsante? Aquel hacker inquebrantable tenía más secretos que el fondo del mar, y Candelaria no podía evitar enamorarse de su gallardía. ¿Ellos serían las presas o los cazadores? Debían decidir qué papel jugarían en esa cacería, porque no tenían lugar donde esconderse. Estaban atrapados en la nochemás oscura, la noche que los ángeles no callarían, la favorita de la muerte. Morirían con honor, morirían con orgullo; pero no esa noche. Cuando la ley no te ampara ni la justicia te defiende, ¿qué caminos extremos serías capaz de tomar?

Camp So-and-So (Fiction -- Young Adult Ser.)
by Mary McCoyThe letters went out in mid-February. Each letter invited its recipient to spend a week at Camp So-and-So, a lakeside retreat for girls nestled high in the Starveling Mountains. Each letter came with a glossy brochure with photographs of young women climbing rocks, performing Shakespearean theatre under the stars, and spiking volleyballs. Each letter was signed in ink by the famed and reclusive businessman and philanthropist, Inge F. Yancey IV. By the end of the month, twenty-five applications had been completed, signed, and mailed to a post office box in an obscure Appalachian town. Had any of these girls tried to follow the directions in the brochure and visit the camp for themselves on that day in February, they would have discovered that there was no such town and no such mountain and that no one within a fifty-mile radius had ever heard of Camp So-and-So. "The DNA of this singular book winds strands of M. C. Escher, Joss Whedon, and Heathers—Mary McCoy has created something wonderful, wild, and weird. Don't miss it."—Martha Brockenbrough, author of The Game of Love and Death
