NOVEDADES

Hay un centro para mayores llamado Hotel Abuel. Lo frecuentan seis abuels que se juntan para pasar el rato, repiten frases e historias todo el tiempo y no se acuerdan de lo que comieron el día anterior (un kebab, por ejemplo). A pesar de tener más de sesenta y cinco años, adoptan costumbres millennials y Gen Z: hacen streams, se montan películas en su cabeza, tienen su punto gamer, adoran el chisme y, sobre todo, a pesar de su irrefrenable melancolía, desean gustar a los demás.

Çlex acaba de mudarse al pueblo de Malrollito y dicen que su casa ¡ESTA ENCANTADA! ¿Te imaginas vivir en un hotel con un portal mágico? ¿Y que los fantasmas se paseen a sus anchas mientras disfrutan de unos días en el Más Acá? ¿Enseñarle a Cleopatra cómo funciona internet? ¿Tener que pasarte horas tirándole la pelotita a un perro inmortal o compartir habitación con un fantasma cascarrabias que tiene más años que el sol? ¡Menuda locura! O quizá no tanto… BIENVENIDO AL HOTEL BU, EL LUGAR MAS INCREÍBLE DEL UNIVERSO.

El 27 de agosto de 1950, el escritor piamontés Cesare Pavese se suicidó en la habitación número 49 del Hotel Roma, en Turín. Dejó una nota de disculpa, algunos poemas y un diario: El oficio de vivir. Pierre Adrian, mientras recorre con su pareja algunos lugares favoritos de Pavese, profundiza en el último verano de un escritor perseguido por la idea del suicidio. Y en toda la biografía de Pavese, en sus libros y lecturas, en sus ideas y sus amistades, Adrian ha buscado algo que nos ayude, pese a todo, a la dolorosa tarea de vivir. Pavese aparece así, a lo largo de estas páginas, como un compañero de viaje taciturno y sincero.

Despite dreams of adventures far beyond the Salann shores, seventeen-year-old Verity Thaumas has remained at her family’s estate, Highmoor, with her older sister Camille, while their sisters have scattered across Arcannia. When their sister Mercy sends word that the Duchess of Bloem—wife of a celebrated botanist—is interested in having Verity paint a portrait of her son, Alexander, Verity jumps at the chance, but Camille won’t allow it. Forced to reveal the secret she’s kept for years, Camille tells Verity the truth one day: Verity is still seeing ghosts, she just doesn’t know it.

Annaleigh lives a sheltered life at Highmoor with her sisters and their father and stepmother. Once there were twelve, but loneliness fills the grand halls now that four of the girls' lives have been cut short. Each death was more tragic than the last--the plague, a plummeting fall, a drowning, a slippery plunge--and there are whispers throughout the surrounding villages that the family is cursed by the gods.

A forbidden obsession Unyielding family allegiance Three deadly challenges When a trip into the forest to collect a rare mushroom for her research goes horribly wrong, biologist Callie Peterson finds herself falling through a fairy portal and straight into the arms of the Unseelie Fae prince. The dangerously unhinged and viciously handsome Unseelie Fae prince. He thinks she's an assassin sent by the humans to kill him, not a scientist, and he imprisons her in his realm—where unwillingly, unwittingly, his obsession with her begins to grow. Prince Mendax has never felt anything but loathing until his eyes met hers: this vile human assassin's. He believes she's here to kill him, and yet her beauty is a parasite that has mercilessly latched onto his mind and won't let go. He itches to feel her smooth skin, even though the Unseelie royals would rather burn than touch a human. It's a dangerous desire. If he does not destroy the girl soon, she may be the only thing capable of destroying him. Mendax needs to be rid of her—but he also needs to entertain his people. And so, he challenges Callie to three deadly trials. If she survives, she gains her freedom. If she doesn't? His wrath is only just beginning.
