Una mirada entretenida y profunda a la vida de las aves, que ilumina su sorprendente mundo y su honda conexión con la humanidad. Los pájaros son animales muy inteligentes, pero su inteligencia es muy distinta de la nuestra y ha sido poco comprendida. A medida que conocemos mejor los secretos de la vida de las aves, descubrimos cosas fascinantes sobre la memoria, las relaciones, la teoría de los juegos y la propia naturaleza de la inteligencia. Strycker explora la asombrosa capacidad de búsqueda de las palomas, las buenas acciones de los malúridos, la influyente capacidad de congregación de los estorninos, el hábil arte de las aves de emparrado, la extraordinaria memoria de los cascanueces, el amor eterno de los albatros y otros misterios, revelando por qué las aves hacen lo que hacen y ofreciendo una visión de nuestra propia naturaleza. Partiendo de su experiencia, de la ciencia más avanzada y de una historia llena de detalles vívidos, Strycker cuenta unos cautivadores relatos sobre las aves que habitan entre nosotros y sorprende al lector al mostrar hasta qué punto estas conviven íntimamente con los seres humanos. Con humor, estilo y belleza, revela cómo nuestra visión del mundo se forma a menudo, y de manera notable, a través de la experiencia de las aves.

Caleb no es un chico corriente. Ha tenido una vida complicada, quizá por las habilidades especiales que lo convierten, a sus ojos, en un monstruo. El destino lo ha llevado a trabajar para gente de moral dudosa, a hacer cosas que le han manchado las manos y el alma.

Debería ser el trabajo más fácil del mundo, pero termina teniendo que elegir entre el mundo que conoce y la única persona que alguna vez le ha importado. Y tú, ¿serías capaz de enamorarte de alguien que desconoce el significado del amor?

Sydney Wells should have died. She was supposed to die. She never expected, after years of waiting, to receive a heart transplant. Now, seventeen-year-old Sydney doesn’t know what to do with her life. Her daily routine consisted of staying indoors, eating heart-healthy foods, and posting about her transplant list experiences on TheWaitingList with her long-distance BFF (and heart failure buddy) Chloe. Now, Sydney latches onto the one thing that gives her meaning: learning as much as she can about the person whose heart she inherited. After finding the family of her likely-donor, Mia, Sydney falls deep into her world—and may also be falling for Mia’s best friend, Clayton. But Sydney isn’t the only one hiding something. Mia’s brother Tanner won’t talk to Clayton, and Clayton won’t tell Sydney why. And hundreds of miles away, Chloe’s health has taken a turn for the worse. Sydney needs to face what’s in her heart—the truth, the guilt, and the future—before it’s too late.

But with power comes a price, and the Devil has come to collect on an ancestral deal. David’s days are numbered, and death looms at his door. Reluctantly, he reaches out to the only person he’s ever trusted, his ex-boyfriend and secret Society rival Rhys, for help. However, the only way to get to Rhys is through his wife, Moira. Thrust into each other’s care, emotions once buried deep resurface, and the trio race to figure out their feelings for one another before the Devil steals David away for good…

Brielle Atwater isn't sure of much, but she knows a few things: Having black wings is not normal. Selling her soul to the demons was a mistake. Lincoln Grey is the biggest jerk she's ever met…but not falling in love with him might prove impossible. When angels fell from the sky to war with the demons that ravaged Earth, their combined powers infected humanity. Now, the humans are assigned one of two fates, being either demon gifted or angel blessed. After wings sprout from Brielle's back at her awakening ceremony, she's sure she's an angel blessed celestial. It's not until she sees black wings that she realizes something is terribly wrong. Having sold her contract at a young age to save her father's life means she should be bound for Tainted Academy. That is, until a fallen angel unexpectedly fights for her to be accepted into Fallen Academy, the elite school for those that inhabit Angel City. She's immediately matched with her impossibly handsome celestial teacher, Lincoln Grey. Laying eyes on him, her first thought is that her time at the academy might actually be fun, but this theory quickly fades when she and Lincoln clash on day one. To further prove her admission into Fallen Academy is cursed, the entire school is thrown into chaos when an Abrus demon reveals that he knows Brielle's secret. Now, above all else, Lincoln must fight to protect her.

When she learns about an opportunity to free her mother from Demon City, she takes it. No matter how dangerous, Brielle will do anything to unite her family in Angel City. All is going according to plan, until her brother's awakening ceremony. What he is…it shocks everyone, and he's sent away until he can get his powers under control. When Brielle loses someone precious to her, she goes to great lengths to get them back, lengths Lincoln doesn't agree with. He thinks Brielle is too much of a risk taker—too wild, and all he can do is try his best to protect her. But with untold powers rising inside of her, Brielle might go to a place that no one can bring her back from. Not even Lincoln. Brielle needs to learn to fight the darkness that threatens to take her over because, little by little, she's losing her light.
