"Every young woman dreams of marrying a king. Everyone except for me. Because the king I am to wed has razor sharp fangs and a thirst for blood.
All my life I knew I'd come of age during the Hundred Year Reaping. According to the ridiculous treaty, two human girls are sent to the faelands as brides for the fearsome fae king and his devilish younger brother.
Not me. I was supposed to be safe. Two girls were chosen from my village already. But when they are executed for offending the king, my sister and I are sent in their place.
What a mess. Then again, maybe it's not so bad. The younger brother I'm paired with doesn't seem as monstrous as I'd expected. He's delightfully handsome too. But nothing compares to the chilling, dangerous beauty of the fae king. And when my sister flees the castle and her terrifying husband-to-be, I'm left to marry him instead.
If I go through with this, I might not survive my wedding night. If I don't, no one is safe, neither human nor fae. An ancient war will return, bringing devastation we haven't seen in a thousand years. Can I sacrifice myself for the good of my people? Or will a dangerous desire be the death of me first?
If I don't lose my heart, the king will certainly lose his. I'll carve it out with an iron blade if I have to."
"Every young woman dreams of wearing a crown. But never a fae crown. Because the crowns of fae are forged with blood.
Being the forced bride of a fae king was supposed to be torture. King Aspen was supposed to be my enemy.
But I was wrong about him. So wrong I think I might be in love with him.
With our wedding just three days away, we are closer than ever to securing the treaty between the humans and fae. But when my past becomes grounds for invalidating our alliance, war looms yet again.
I'm the only one who can save the Fair Isle. If I do it, I'll have to give up the man I love. Return to the human realm. Face death.
I swore I'd do anything to save my people. But who are my people? The answer should be easy. The humans. There's just one problem.
I might not be human after all . . ."

Jordi Sierra i Fabra va néixer a Barcelona el 26 de juliol de 1947.
És conegut per la seva obra com a escriptor de literatura infantil i juvenil i el seu treball com a periodista musical. La seva vocació d'escriptor és clara i ferma des de molt petit: confessa que va fer els seus primers passos amb tan sols vuit anys d'edat i als dotze anys ja va escriure la seva primera novel·la llarga, de cinc-centes pàgines.
Malgrat la seva clara vocació, no comptava amb l'aprovació o l'entusiasme dels seus pares, que en acabar el batxillerat el van obligar a treballar en una empresa de construcció durant el dia i a estudiar per ser aparellador durant la nit.
De la seva infància ha dit que 'vaig ser tres vegades reprimit: pel meu pare, pel règim i per l'escola franquista'.
Tot i així, la seva determinació i la seva tenacitat són més fortes que qualsevol obstacle i les seves insistents cartes setmanals a la cadena de ràdio Cadena Ser el van portar a convertir-se en un dels fundadors de la revista 'El Gran Musical' el 1968.
El 1970 va poder abandonar els estudis per convertir-se en comentarista musical, la qual cosa li va permetre viatjar per tot el món amb grups i artistes del moment mentre cobria les seves actuacions i escrivia reportatges."

"Dez Cross has problems. She's almost eighteen and on the verge of losing her mind thanks to the drug Denazen used to enhance her abilities. People close to her have turned their back on the underground and are now fighting for the wrong side. And then there's Kale . . . Things couldn't get any worse.
Until of course, they do. Denazen is about to start a new trial—this one called Domination—and it works. But that means out with the old and in with the new. The order has been given to terminate all remnants of the second trial—including Dez. The good news is that there's a survivor from the original trial. A woman who's blood may hold the cure for the second generation of Supremacy kid's defect. But the underground Sixes aren't the only ones who know about her . . .
Cross is willing to throw everything he has to keep Dez from getting the cure—including the one thing that might tear her apart from the inside out."
"The boy she'd lost, and finally found again, is not the same boy she remembers. As one of the most powerful Sixes, Kale has changed in ways Dez can't ignore.
He swore he'd never kill, and now he's out for blood.
He swore he'd never harm her, and now he struggles to control his fatal touch.
They've been to hell and back, over and over, but this time they might not survive the fire.
When the truth at the root of the Denazen Corporation's origins begins to unfold, those behind the scenes will do anything to keep it hidden.
Dez and Kale will be pushed to their breaking point. As long buried secrets come to light, they must fight for their freedom—and each other—as they never have before.
Kale's destructive power could win the battle, if he doesn't lose himself to it in the process. Or Dez will be faced with an impossible task—saving the world from the boy she loves."

And as the weeks pass, it turns out that Ella isn't the only one being tormented.
With the help of an old flame, Jensen Carver, and her friends and family, Ella tries to attain some sense of normalcy, but she can't seem to shake the feeling that there's a dark pattern hidden in the killer's every move. Suddenly, even those in her innermost circle seem suspicious. In her seemingly safe West Virginia town, Ella starts to wonder who she can trust"
"It’s Tessa and Weston’s first Christmas together, and Tessa is determined to make it the best holiday ever. But when her estranged mother shows up with a suitcase and plans to stay for two weeks, Tessa’s hopes are shattered.
Bitter from the past and still holding a grudge, Tessa is in no mood to give her mother a second chance. The holiday season may be a time of reconciliation with family, but Tessa believes her mother will never change. Why get close when she’s just going to leave again? Tessa realizes there is only one way to save this Christmas: avoid her mother as much as possible.
With the best intentions in mind, Tessa chooses to not tell her mother about Weston’s disability. But when they meet face-to-face, Tessa is mortified and ashamed by her mother’s insensitive remarks. Weston begins to think he is the real cause of Tessa’s shame. His old demons resurrect to haunt him with doubts: What if, one day, Tessa stops loving him because of his disability?
Determined to prove his love for her, Weston makes it his mission to be the best boyfriend ever and works to reunite Tessa with her mother. Meanwhile, Tessa plots elaborate ways to avoid “mother-daughter time” at all costs. One scheme leads to another, until Tessa finds herself tangled in a web of deceit — and, worst of all, lying to Weston.
When the secrets between them force Tessa and Weston to face their greatest fears, they must confront the inescapable question: Is true love worth the risk of heartbreak? Is it ever too late to forgive and start over?
The Best Christmas Ever is a heartwarming holiday follow-up to 100 Days of Sunlight by Abbie Emmons. You’ll love this touching story of forgiveness, family, and first love.
