When a vicious assault compels sixteen-year-old Mnemba to leave her village, she joins her cousin Tumelo as a tracker in…
his booming safari business. It doesn't take her long to become one of the best safari guides in Nazwimbe. Her work allows her to escape into a new world of wondrous creatures, and to avoid thinking about what happened at home. When Mr. Harving arrives with his daughter Kara to research unicorns, Tumelo assigns Mnemba to them as a guide. The attraction between Mnemba and Kara is almost instant, but Kara is engaged to be married when she returns home. Venturing into the savanna alone, they uncover a plot by a gang of poachers to enslave the unicorns, harnessing their supernatural strength to build a railway. They must save the creatures Kara loves while struggling not to succumb to forbidden love themselves.By Emily M. Danforth. 2011
When Cameron Post's parents die suddenly in a car crash, her shocking first thought is relief. Relief they'll never know…
that, hours earlier, she had been kissing a girl. But that relief doesn't last, and Cam is soon forced to move in with her conservative aunt Ruth and her well-intentioned but hopelessly old-fashioned grandmother. She knows that from this point on, her life will forever be different. Survival in Miles City, Montana, means blending in and leaving well enough alone (as her grandmother might say), and Cam becomes an expert at both. Then Coley Taylor moves to town. Beautiful, pickup-driving Coley is a perfect cowgirl with the perfect boyfriend to match. She and Cam forge an unexpected and intense friendship-one that seems to leave room for something more to emerge. But just as that starts to seem like a real possibility, ultrareligious Aunt Ruth takes drastic action to "fix" her niece, bringing Cam face-to-face with the cost of denying her true self-even if she's not exactly sure who that is. The Miseducation of Cameron Post is a stunning and unforgettable literary debut about discovering who you are and finding the courage to live life according to your own rules.By Antonio Mercero. 2018
Un nuevo nombre se ha sumado a la gran novela negra española encabezada por Lorenzo Silva y Dolores Redondo. «Ideal…
para lectores que busquen novelas policiacas protagonizadas por detectives singulares... Un estilo claro y directo y capacidad de enganchar al lector.»Lluís Fernández, La Razón «Una protagonista original e insólita en el panorama negrocriminal en castellano, que merece una saga.»Paco Camarasa Recién reincorporada a la Brigada tras la cirugía de reasignación de sexo, Sofía Luna se ve obligada a investigar un misterioso caso. ¿Quién es este asesino que escoge a sus víctimas, todas japonesas, en el centro turístico de Madrid? Todo parece apuntar hacia el peculiar mundo de los viajes turísticos organizados y el más peculiar aún de personas asexuales, un grupo que rechaza la hipersexualidad de la vida moderna y tiene como animal favorito la estrella de mar. Luna y su equipo, al que se suma una traductora de japonés que busca algo más que colaborar, tendrán que trabajar bajo una fuerte presión mediática, sobre todo cuando desaparece la hija del embajador de Japón. A este caso, que parece irresoluble, se suma otro que golpea a la inspectora en lo más íntimo: su padre, con el que no se habla desde hace años, ha matado a un hombre, supuestamente en legítima defensa. Y la investigación empieza a revelar detalles insospechados. La crítica ha dicho sobre El final del hombre:«Un policial estupendo, bien planteado y escrito, con protagonistas y secundarios perfilados y diferenciados y un fundamento ideológico o social profundo y, por fortuna, nada maniqueo: el mundo es de las mujeres y los hombres deambulan como dinosaurios añorando los días antes del meteorito.»Carlos Zanón, El País «Su trama, que no da tregua, nos hace querer la siguiente ya.»Revista Mía «Un talento prodigioso para hilvanar historias en las que late la vida cotidiana; historias con las que el lector se identifica al instante.»Todo Literatura «La novela negra española ya tiene su heroína transexual... Mercero es un guionista enamorado de la maldad de Patricia Highsmith, que cayó en la tentación de la novela... Con una estructura clásica de "quién lo hizo", usa la novela negra para entretener, contar el drama de Sofía y su cambio de sexo, y mostrar las miserias que todos llevamos dentro.»Juan Carlos Galindo, El PaísBy Marieke Nijkamp. 2018

Los lectores han dicho sobre Pídeme más, la primera entrega de la serie:«La mezcla entre lo sobrenatural y lo cotidiano está muy bien tratada y llevada, y ha sido precisamente eso, lo original del tema, lo que me ha terminado atrapando. Espero con muchas ganas las siguientes entregas. Muy recomendable.» «Me ha encantado. Las historias entremezcladas, como los personajes se conocen, se encuentran y se separan. [...] Estoy deseando leer la siguiente parte.» «Maravillosa y muy recomendable, donde no solo se habla de amor, sino de la vida de los protagonistas, cómo el destino parece tener algo que decir en la vida de todos. ¿existe realmente la casualidad o tiene otro nombre?»By John Jodzio. 2010
