Описание:
You've heard of these groups - the secretive ones that only the cr me de la cr me are invited into, the ones outsiders speculate about for centuries - I'm the second in my family invited to attend, but to them, I'm fresh meat. New blood. New money, too.
They think they'll elbow past me, that I'm here for their amusement, for them to walk all over, they'll find out soon enough that I'm not.
I may look like one of them, with my designer bags and clothes straight from the Parisian runways, but I'm not. I'm here for answers, to take revenge for blood spilled on their centuries-old Persian rugs.
I transferred here in search for answers about what happened to my older brother, who hightailed out of here, and my friend who seemingly disappeared into thin air. I certainly wasn't here for the attention of the star hockey player, regardless of how much he willed my eyes his way. I wasn't here for his scrutiny or his judgment or to read into his mysterious aura. I was here for the society, because only they held the answers I needed. That was, until I found out that in order to get those answers, I needed to go through him. He's saying if I want in, I have to play by their rules, follow their lead.
It's a game I'm willing to play.
I may be the second person I know of to be invited into their society, but I'll be the first to make it out intact.

Описание:
100% standalone romance
My job was to clean up his reputation and find him a wife.
It was supposed to be easy, but nothing about Prince Aramis was ever easy.
I was about to throw in the towel when he came up with a solution: I'd be his pretend girlfriend. Forget the fact that I was sort of seeing someone, or that I had no interest in joining the royal family. Once Aramis sets his eyes on something, there's no use in fighting him on it, besides, in a way it would make my job a little easier.
I accept the offer but set boundaries. Boundaries that Aramis is intent on testing. Before either of us know what's happening, the lines start to blur and I can no longer tell the difference between pretend and reality.
My job on the line is one thing, but losing my heart to Aramis was never in the cards.

Описание: From the author of the critically acclaimed novel Fruit of the Drunken Tree comes a dazzling, kaleidoscopic memoir reclaiming her family's otherworldly legacy.The Man Who Moved Clouds is a memoir like no other . . . Ingrid Rojas Contreras has given us a glorious gift with these pages.--Patricia Engel author of Infinite Country For Ingrid Rojas Contreras, magic runs in the family. Growing up in the Colombia of the 1980's and 90's in a house where "what did you dream?" was asked in place of "how are you?" Rojas Contreras' world was laced with augury and violence. Her maternal grandfather, Nono, was a renowned curandero, a community healer gifted with the ability to talk to the dead, tell the future, treat the sick, and move the clouds. As a young girl, Rojas Contreras eavesdropped on her mother's fortune-telling business from the stairs and waited eagerly for the periodic phone calls that meant Mami had yet again appeared in two places at once. So when Ingrid, now living in the U.S., suffered a head injury in her twenties that left her with amnesia--an accident eerily similar to a fall that had put her mother in a coma at the age of eight, from which she woke with not just amnesia, but the ability to see ghosts--the family assumes "the secrets" have finally been passed down. But as Ingrid recovers her memories, no supernatural abilities are forthcoming. Rather, she is consumed by a powerful urge to learn even more about her heritage than she knew before the accident. Spurred by a shared dream among Mami and her sisters, wherein Nono communicates that he is unable to rest peacefully in the afterlife, Ingrid joins her mother on a journey home to Colombia to disinter her grandfather's remains. With her mother as her unpredictable, stubborn and often hilarious guide, Ingrid traces her lineage back to her Indigenous and Spanish roots, uncovering the violent and rigid colonial narrative that would eventually break her family into two camps: those who believe the secrets are a gift, and those who are convinced they are a curse. Interweaving family stories more enchanting than any novel, resurrected Colombian history, and her own deeply personal reckonings with the bounds of reality, Rojas Contreras writes her way through the incomprehensible and into her inheritance. The result is a luminous testament to the power of storytelling as a healing art and an invitation to embrace the extraordinary.

Описание: "Alice in Wonderland Yesterday and Today" Coloring book is like no other Alice. It takes the adult (this one is not for the kiddies) through the early years of the classic Tenniel illustrations with quotes from the traditional Lewis Carroll Story. Midway it changes into "Alice's Bloody Adventures" based upon the popular book of the same name by author Ra l Alberto Contreras aka Tweedle Guns. This section of the book imagines Alice as she might be today as she chases the killer wabbit through wonderland and into the looking glass. Aside from the popularity of coloring books for adults, this one goes beyond the intricate patterns of mandalas into a really good read.

Описание:
This satirical adaptation of the Lewis Carroll classic is a twisted retelling of an already absurdist vision of reality. Raul Contreras inspired artwork is an entertaining and modern take on familiar illustrations and the story is no children's bedtime story. In this twisted retelling of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, the White Rabbit has killed Alice's sister and cat. with a vengeance, she chases after the Rabbit, down, down the rabbit hole and into a dark looking glass of madness. She finds herself a pawn of Wonderland and its inhabitants.
