      «Soy la Ejecutora y no salgo con vampiros. Los mato.» El cóctel de géneros más explosivo de los últimos tiempos: policiaco, ucronía, terror, fantasía y romance, todo a la vez. De complexión menuda y lengua afilada, Anita Blake no es alguien a quien convenga subestimar: levanta muertos para ganarse el sustento, y la policía de San Luis recurre a ella cuando necesita asesoría en casos que involucran lo sobrenatural; está curtida en mil batallas y tiene licencia para matar vampiros. No siente simpatía alguna por ellos, pero contra todo pronóstico, se descubre investigando una serie de asesinatos... precisamente de vampiros. Laurell K. Hamilton irrumpió en la temática vampírica con una propuesta tan original como contundente. Abraza sin complejos convenciones de diversos géneros y utiliza su imaginería en ambientes cercanos y familiares, en los que pone en marcha mecanismos narrativos de una eficacia endiablada. Desde su publicación original, el éxito que ha cosechado la serie la ha convertido en un verdadero icono cultural y en el referente obligado de una nueva categoría editorial.

      In the sixth adventure in the #1 New York Times bestselling series, Anita Blake’s unique skills make her a wanted woman—by vampire, by werewolf, and by a hit man... Though she’s dating a vampire and a werewolf, Anita is keeping them at arm’s length. Which isn’t easy considering that Jean-Claude is the master vampire of St. Louis and Richard Zeeman is the sexiest junior high school teacher she’s ever seen. Just to complicate Anita’s already messy life, someone has put a price on her head. Love cannot save her this time, so she turns to Edward, hit man extraordinaire for help. But finding the person behind it won’t be easy, because she’s made a lot of enemies—human and otherwise.

    • International No. 1 bestselling author Trudi Canavan returns with the third instalment in the Millennium's Rule series - her most powerful and thrilling adventure yet. Five years have passed since the Rebels confronted the Raen. Five years, in which Qall - the boy Rielle rescued - has grown up among the Travellers, with no memory of the life that was stolen from him. Five years of chaos, barely contained by Baluka and the Restorers. Worlds are at war, some overrun by deadly machines, some drained of magic by power-hungry sorcerers. As Qall comes of age, and Rielle and Tyen's hard-won peace is threatened, their loyalties are tested - and Qall's very existence is at stake. Because Dahli is still determined to restore Valhan to power, and he will stop at nothing to succeed.

      Soon to be a Netflix film—featuring Jennifer Aniston, Danielle Macdonald, and Dove Cameron, as well as a soundtrack from Dolly Parton! The movie tie-in edition of the #1 New York Times bestseller and feel-good YA of the year—about Willowdean Dixon, the fearless, funny, and totally unforgettable heroine who takes on her small town’s beauty pageant. Self-proclaimed fat girl Willowdean Dickson (dubbed “Dumplin’” by her former beauty queen mom) has always been at home in her own skin. Her thoughts on having the ultimate bikini body? Put a bikini on your body. With her all-American beauty best friend, Ellen, by her side, things have always worked . . . until Will takes a job at Harpy’s, the local fast-food joint. There she meets Private School Bo, a hot former jock. Will isn’t surprised to find herself attracted to Bo. But she is surprised when he seems to like her back. Instead of finding new heights of self-assurance in her relationship with Bo, Will starts to doubt herself. So she sets out to take back her confidence by doing the most horrifying thing she can imagine: entering the Miss Clover City beauty pageant—along with several other unlikely candidates—to show the world that she deserves to be up there as much as any girl does. Along the way, she’ll shock the hell out of Clover City—and maybe herself most of all.
