A ghost-hunting influencer disappears in the middle of a live stream. A beekeeper is murdered after telling his friends that he has come across a dangerous secret.

Meet Odder, the queen of play. Nobody has her moves. She doesn’t just swim to the bottom, she dive-bombs. She doesn’t just somersault, she triple-doughnuts. She doesn’t just ride the waves, she makes them. Odder spends her days off the coast of central California, practicing her underwater acrobatics and spinning the quirky stories for which she’s known. She’s a fearless daredevil, curious to a fault. But when Odder comes face-to-face with a hungry great white shark, her life takes a dramatic turn, one that will challenge everything she believes about herself.

Marlow needs to believe she's crazy. The alternative would mean embracing the gift—or curse—shared by her mother and grandmother: she can see angels and demons, including a dark and haunting entity who's been with Marlow her entire life.

Gathering allies across realms and pantheons brings new tantalizing twists and passionate nights as more and more figures step out of mythology to fight to the end.

La filósofa Lectrice Santos es expulsada de la universidad tras atreverse a dictar una conferencia sobre el placer y la censura.

I’m not looking for anything serious in my life. I have a shop to run, and when it comes to women, anything other than a good time doesn’t fit into my plans. But then I meet her.

To keep them safe, I'll have to leave. I will get my revenge on the Lycans, but not before I make things right.
