In this book you probably won't find what you expect. Our culture teaches us to love conditionally and, for many people, love is precisely the source of all their problems. This book shows us that love is the force of life, unlimited and unconditional. Therefore, many of the myths and love stories are false. The idea of conditional love pollutes our mind and turns us against others. Eros, the second book in the School of Mysteries, examines the conflict between true love and all the lies that we have been taught about love. This book is a master class on the art of romance and how to overcome the superstitions that prevent us from loving as we should.

Publisher Annotation: A MAGICAL STORY.A NOVEL ABOUT THE FORCE OF LIFE EVEN IN TIMES OF WAR. The important one was the Red door. That was where all the interesting stories came in. Itwas the big door. The main door. It was the one who received the best and it was the best at keeping quiet. Because it was the great protagonist of that time, for the good, but also for the bad. When the Red door flaps its wings, two worlds are connected: a world in which men besiege the earth and fratricidal wars are fought, and that other world in which the gaze of a girl reveals to us what lies on the other side of the storm clouds and bomb blasts. This girl, who has moved to Grandma Candelaria's house now that her father has left her, moves among the pots on the fire and the olive groves. Fascinated by nature, little Sacra has some unique friends: Pedro, the pig herder who is a breath of fresh air for the monotonous life of the town; Carmen, with whom Sacra learns to till and love the land; Aunt Isidora, the one with red hair and who everyone knows hides an unspeakable secret, but no one talks about it; the old Don, whose wisdom flows like river water, and finally, a mysterious stranger who appears in town one stormy night. All of them will accompany Sacra on a path of learning that could save her when the sky turns to fire and the Red door can no longer protect her. With this brilliant debut, Claudia Catalán presents a splendid narrative voice that stands out in the current literary scene.

Publisher Annotation: After receiving a strange letter from her newly married cousin, Noemí Taboada heads to High Place, a house in the country in Mexico, not knowing what she will find there. Naomi does not seem to have the gifts of a savior: she is glamorous, more used to attending cocktails than detective tasks.

The only friend Naomi will find is the family's youngest son, who also seems to be covering up dark secrets. Because there are many secrets hidden in the walls of High Place, as Naomi will discover when she begins to unearth stories of violence and madness. Captivated by this terrifying and seductive world, Naomi will find it difficult to save her cousin ... Or even escape from that enigmatic house. A terrifyingly brilliant novel. Mexico, 352pp.

En el terreno personal no le va mucho mejor: acaba de romper  con su novia de siempre, por lo que ha tenido que marcharse de casa e instalarse en la oficina. En este desastroso momento de su vida aparece John Bristow con una  historia asombrosa: su hermana, la legendaria supermodelo Lula Landry,  conocida por sus amigos como El Cuco, ha caído desde su balcón de Mayfair en plena noche.

The police ruled it a suicide, but John refuses to believe that. The case plunges Strike into the world of multimillionaire beauties, rock-star boyfriends, and desperate designers, and it introduces him to every variety of pleasure, enticement, seduction, and delusion known to man.

Fast-paced and sharply drawn, this dazzling detective novel inspired Strike, the BBC crime drama series that has captivated millions of viewers worldwide.  

Publisher Annotation: Puerto Rico, 2017. Barely a week after electricity was restored, the news warned of the arrival of a second hurricane, more powerful than the previous one. Prone to inaccuracy and exaggeration, the weather reports this time appear to be real. Many years have passed since a hurricane with such destructive potential hit the Island. If Irma had left it without electricity for a week, what can now be expected of María? In Before the light comes, Mayra Santos-Febres evokes those moments that, like hurricanes, arrive with their winds of uncertainty to split life in two and reveal our vulnerable condition; moments when, in turn, the ability to reinvent oneself as a last resort to survive emerges. Puerto Rico, 168pp.
