Only one of her siblings has survived. But as the tragic event unfolds, she begins to realize that other than a small army of six-year-olds, she is among very few survivors of a nationwide slaughter. The Reaping has begun. Present day: Pregnant and on the run with a small band of compatriots, Delilah Marlow is determined to bring her baby into the world safely and secretly. But she isn''t used to sitting back while others suffer, and she''s desperate to reunite Zyanya, the cheetah shifter, with her brother and children. To find a way for Lenore the siren to see her husband. To find Rommily''s missing Oracle sisters. To unify this adopted family of fellow cryptids she came to love and rely on in captivity.

Weaving together past and present in this heartbreaking tale of sacrifice and self-discovery, Fury is the deeply moving finale to a series that readers won''t soon forget. Praise for Fury \"This gripping novel, set in the immediate aftermath of the events of Spectacle, concludes Vincent''s Menagerie series in marvelous fashion. . . . The book is a fitting finale to an exceptional dark fantasy series, as memorable for its sensitive depiction of a marginalized race as for its surprising plot twists.\" — Publishers Weekly, Starred Review

There is no crueler cage than the confines of the human mind in this riveting sequel to Menagerie from the New York Times–bestselling author. When their coup of Metzger''s Menagerie is discovered, Delilah Marlow and her fellow cryptids find their newly won freedom brutally stripped away as they are sold into The Savage Spectacle, a private collection of \"exotic wildlife.\" Specializing in ruthless cryptid cage matches, safari-style creature hunts and living party favors, the Spectacle''s owner, Willem Vandekamp, caters to the forbidden fetishes of the wealthy and powerful. At the Spectacle, any wish can be granted—for the right price. But Vandekamp''s closely guarded client list isn''t the only secret being kept at the Spectacle. Beneath the beauty and brutality of life in the collection lie much darker truths, and no one is more determined than Delilah to strip the masks from the human monsters and drag all dark things into the light. \"Oh what a disturbingly dark, and haunting world Rachel Vincent has crafted! Spectacle is definitely not for the fainthearted. However, it is the characters who are the heart and soul of Spectacle. The world they live in is harsh and brutal but it is the strength, love, and loyalty we see emerging out of the darkness that makes Spectacle so significant. I can''t wait to see what unfolds in the third book of the Menagerie series!\" — Fresh Fiction \"A bravura example of fantasy series-building.\" — Publishers Weekly

Näytän periamerikkalaiselta opiskelijatytöltä, mutta olen ihmiskissa, muodonmuuttaja. Elän kahdessa maailmassa. Meitä kissatyttöjä on vähän, ja suvun jatkamisen kannalta me olemme kultaakin kalliimpia. Halusin kuitenkin oman elämän ja pakenin paineita yliopistoon, kunnes eräänä yönä kulkukissa hyökkäsi kimppuuni. Minua oli varoitettu kulkukissoista – ihmiskissoista ilman laumaa – jotka vaanivat jatkuvasti kaltaisiani – viehettäviä, naispuolisia ja hedelmällisiä. Sain torjuttua hänet, mutta sitten sain tietää kahden naaraskissaystäväni kadonneen. Oman turvallisuuteni vuoksi minut haettiin takaisin laumaan. En ollut enää mikään heikko pentu. Olin valmis uhmaamaan mitä vain ja ketä vain löytääkseni ystäväni ja kostaakseni heitä kiduttaneille. Varokaa, kulkukissat, sillä minulla on kynnet, enkä pelkää käyttää niitä.

Faythe Sanders joutuu istumaan päivästä toiseen reviirineuvoston edessä ja kertamaan tapahtumia. Onko hän syyllistynyt murhaan, vai tappanut vain itsepuolustuksekseen? Jos hän ei olisi nainen, olisi hänet jo otettu hengiltä, mutta harvinaisena naaraskissana hän on arvokas, ei vain laumalleen, vaan koko ihmiskissarodulle. Tuntemattomien kulkukissojen hyökkäys mutkistaa tapahtumia entisestään. Saako Faythe mahdollisuuden näyttää korvaamattomat taitonsa yhteisössä, arvonsa, joka pelastaisi hänen henkensä?

Faythe Sanders – kenties laumansa tuleva johtaja ja historian ensimmäinen naaraspuolinen alfaehdokas – ei juurikaan saa levätä ja hoitaa vammojaan ennen uusia taisteluja. Laumassa elää suuri epätoivo ja tappiomieliala. Pelko on muuttanut kutsumattomaksi vieraaksi omille tiluksille ja monta uhria on saatu kaivaa mullan alle. Kaikista synkimmän varjon luovat myrskylinnut, joiden väkivaltaisuus ja peräänantamattomuus tuntuvat olevan ihan omaa luokkaansa. Linnut luulevat Faythen lauman olevan syypää erään linnun murhaan, ja kosto täyttää heidän mielensä. Faythe saa kuitenkin linnuilta yhden mahdollisuuden todistaa syyttömyytensä. Tämä mahdollisuus tuntuu vain mahdottomalta toteuttaa…

Kissa ja hiiri -leikki, josta tulee totisinta totta… Kaikki on sekaisin. Laumani olemassaolo on vaarassa ja isäni valta-asema horjuu. Rakkaani Marc on maanpaossa luonnonvaraisten kissojen keskuudessa, enkä ole nähnyt häntä ikuisuuksiin. Toisaalta en kyllä ehdi edes ikävöidä häntä, sillä minulla on uusi äiti ja kapinallinen teini niskassani. Sitten joukko luonnonvaraisia kissoja järjestää väijytyksen tuhotakseen meidät. Ymmärrän, että tarvitsen kaikki voimani – ja kynteni – taistellakseni selviytymisestä ja estääkseni perhettäni hajoamasta. Ikuisesti.

Unlike her fellow villagers, Adele cannot avoid the dark wood. Adele is one of a long line of guardians: women who secretly take on the form of a wolf, in order to protect their village.

\"Raw, real, and utterly gripping.\" - Jennifer Lynn Barnes, New York Times bestselling author of The Inheritance Games In this gripping YA thriller, a teenage girl''s shocking discovery reveals that everyone in her life is lying to her-and if she doesn''t figure out the truth, she might be the one to pay the price. Nobody in sixteen-year-old Beckett''s life seems to be telling the whole story. Her boyfriend Jake keeps hiding texts, which could mean he''s cheating on her. Her father lied about losing his job and so much more before his shocking death. And everyone in school seems to be whispering about her and her family behind her back. But none of that compares to the day Beckett finds the body of a newborn baby in a gym bag-Jake''s gym bag-on the floor of her high school locker room. As word leaks out, rumors that Beckett''s the mother take off like wildfire in a town all too ready to believe the worst of her. Beckett soon finds herself facing increasingly dangerous threats and accusations. Nobody believes her side of the story, and as the police investigation unfolds, she discovers that everyone has a secret to hide and the truth could alter everything she thought she knew. A page-turning thriller set in a small Southern community, Every Single Lie is a jaw-dropping, twisty must-read for fans of Sadie.

And this time, the real threat isn’t kidnappers—it’s what the “friends” might do to each other. Told from alternating perspectives, the high-stakes follow-up to 100 Hours delivers an explosive mix of nonstop action and romance as a group of Miami teens discovers that lies are nowhere near as dangerous as the truth.

Dahlia 16''s life is a lie. The city of Lakeview isn''t a utopia that raises individuals for the greater good; it is a clone farm that mass-produces servants for the elite.

Génesis está cansada de la predecible escena social de Miami, con entradas exclusivas, pequeños juegos de poder y novios traicioneros.
