Esta novela de ritmo vertiginoso sobre una invasión de criaturas asesinas y una chica que lucha por su vida en el fin del mundo, es la mezcla perfecta de Frankenstein con la mejor literatura apocalíptica de ciencia ficción. Octavo es un soldado de bajo rango del ejército Nahx carente de voz propia, pero sabe cuál es su deber: proteger a su compañera, y dejar que sea ella quien dispare, quien mate a los humanos.

Aislada en el bosque, Raven sólo puede esperar el rescate, pero un alienígena asesina a su novio y ella se oculta para evitar sufrir el mismo destino. Arrojados en un mundo violento y desconocido, Octavo y Raven son presa del odio y el miedo. Pero cuando Raven es gravemente herida, y Octavo abandona su unidad de asalto, su supervivencia dependerá de la confianza que puedan depositar el uno en la otra.

A workaholic is faced with striving for the one goal she never wanted: love. Campbell Andrews despises exactly three things in life: incompetence, tardiness, and love stories. Making partner at her law firm at thirty-four, she has no time for anything or anyone else. And certainly no respect for those who choose love over work. That is, until she wakes up in Heart Springs—her own personal hell. The good news? She’s not dead. She’s been magically transported to a small town straight out of the Hallmark channel, complete with a meddling mayor, seasonal festivals, and friendly townsfolk. Cam can’t stand it, but in order to make it back to her real life, she has to fulfill three tasks . . . foremost among them, experience true love. It seems impossible. But anything’s possible with a change of heart.

Darling Seabreak cannot remember anything before the murder of her family at the hands of House Dragon, but she knows she owes her life to both the power of her Chaos Boon and House Kraken for liberating her from the sewers where she spent her childhood. So when her adoptive Kraken father is captured in battle, Darling vows to save him—even if that means killing each and every last member of House Dragon. Talon Goldhoard has always been a dutiful War Prince for House Dragon, bravely leading the elite troops of his brother, the High Prince Regent. But lately his brother’s erratic rule threatens to undo a hundred years of House Dragon’s hard work, and factions are turning to Talon to unseat him. Talon resists, until he’s ambushed by a fierce girl who looks exactly like the one his brother has painted obsessively, repeatedly, for years, and Talon knows she’s the key to everything. Together, Darling and Talon must navigate the treacherous waters of House politics, caught up in the complicated game the High Prince Regent is playing against everyone. The unlikeliest of allies, they’ll have to stop fighting each other long enough to learn to fight together in order to survive the fiery prophecies and ancient blood magic threatening to devastate their entire world.

Which is bad. And things are about to get worse.   When Shelbi sees Andy at his lowest, she can relate. So she doesn’t resist reaching out. And there’s no doubt their connection has them both seeing stars . . . but the closer they get, the more the past threatens to pull their universes apart.
