Anne sin filtros
by Iria G. Parente Selene M. PascualAnne Shirley nació para contar historias. Quizás haya llegado el momento de atreverse a vivir la suya. Anne Shirley siempre ha soñado con ser escritora y, aunque nadie lo sepa, lo es: online, la conocen como Lady Cordelia y sus fanfics sobre El caballero del espejo, una serie de televisión sobre leyendas artúricas, son de los más aclamados por el fandom. Solo Diana, su mejor amiga, artista y colaboradora, conoce su secreto. Al menos hasta que aparece Blythe, un nuevo autor de fanfiction que no tarda en superar el récord de lecturas de Anne y que, para colmo, no tiene ningún reparo en mostrar su verdadera identidad. Gilbert Blythe es tan encantador como irritante, y desafiará a Anne a enfrentarse a sus inseguridades y a sus sentimientos, tanto por él como por su amiga Diana. Pero… cuando te atreves a mostrarte sin filtros, tal como eres, puede ocurrir cualquier cosa. Reseñas:«Una historia llena de ternura sobre la amistad, el amor y las primeras veces».Alice Kellen, autora de Todo lo que nunca fuimos y Nosotros en la luna «Iria y Selene han conseguido una versión contemporánea de Ana de las Tejas Verdes que capta la personalidad de todos los personajes con una precisión y una sensibilidad extraordinarias».Andrea Smith, autora de Mi plan D.

One night, in cities all across Europe, five children vanish -- only to appear, years later, at an exclusive New York party with a strange and elegant governess. Rumor and mystery follow the Faust teenagers to the city's most prestigious high school, where they soar to suspicious heights with the help of their benefactor's extraordinary "gifts". But as the students claw their way up -- reading minds, erasing scenes, stopping time, stealing power, seducing with artificial beauty -- they start to suffer the side effects of their own addictions. And as they make further deals with the devil, they uncover secrets more shocking than their most unforgivable sins.
