After that first addictive kiss, it's time to see if they can *really *satisfy each other's appetites….<

MELODY CARVER * Nariz nueva. * Le encanta Jackson, su nuevo vecino «súper guapo». * Camiseta años setenta, jeans negros y Converse rosas. Melody y su familia abandonan Beverly Hills en busca del aire puro de Salem (Oregón). Tras librarse de su nariz (como la joroba de un camello) y sus constantes ataques de asma, Melody se convierte por fin en «la chica guapa» del instituto Merston High. Lo malo es que se siente una impostora... hasta que conoce a Jackson. ¿También él esconde algo? ¿Podría estar relacionado con los insólitos rumores acerca de... monstruos que andan sueltos? FRANKIE STEIN * Nuevo... bueno, todo en ella es nuevo. * Sueña con Brett, que tiene una novia súper celosa. * Traje pantalón de lana que pica (preferiría minifalda escocesa y top de cachemir) Frankie ha vivido en Salem desde que nació, aunque sólo cuanta con quince días de vida. Sedispone a conquistar el instituto, a los chicos y los centros comerciales, en ese mismo orden. Lamentablemente, la gente se asusta de la piel de Frankie, de color verde menta, en lugar de aplaudir su «electrizante» sentido de la moda. Si quiere ser cool entre los normis de Merston High, va a tener que ocultar un secreto monstruoso. En cambio, lo arriesga todo por un beso robado, equivocación que puede costarle más de lo que cree. Melody y Frankie se proponen demostrar que lo diferente puede encajar. Pero, ¿están preparados los normis de Merston High para un cambio de imagen? ¿Puede un monstruo sobrevivir en un mundo de normis?<

In the future, dreams keep the universe running. Dreamers, known as "Silent," are able to look into other people's dreams, communicate with other Silent across the galaxy, and speak to aliens. Silent construct dreams for themselves more vivid than reality.

But some dreams have become nightmares...

Kendi Weaver doesn't know he's Silent. Hijacked into slavery, he has resigned himself to a life of servitude. Then the discovery of his innate gift for dream communication changes everything. Suddenly Kendi is a very valuable commodity. He is rescued by the Children of Irfan--a society dedicated to freeing enslaved Silent--and taken to their planet, Bellerophon.

But Bellerophon is hardly a safe refuge. A brutal serial killer is murdering Silent in their telepathic dreams, and Kendi is soon embroiled in a world of madness and murder. To catch the killer, he must enter the victims' dreams...

Anita Blake, cazador de vampiros, ha destruido a un montón de monstruos, pero su antiguo mentor, Edward, puede ser peor que cualquiera de ellos. Edward tiene problemas; una fuerza malévola está mutilando a los ciudadanos de Albuquerque. Y necesitará toda la potencia de fuego y la astucia de Anita.<

The lush and beautiful forest planet of Bellerophon is home to a cacophony of noises, but its resident psychics are known as the Silent. Previously they could travel to the Dream, a telepathic plane of existence where they could twist the laws of reality. But that time is over...

One madman's lust for power tore the Dream asunder. Now only a handful of the Silent can enter it. Kendi Weaver is one of them.

As an election for the governorship of Bellerophon begins, Kendi is caught in the crossfire. Attempts on his life—and a rash of Silent kidnappings—point to a political enemy...or a personal one. Either way, the future of the Dream is at stake. And Kendi fears it may become a nightmare.
