Chronic overachiever Prudence Barnett is always quick to cast judgment on the lazy, rude, and arrogant residents of her coastal town. Her dreams of karmic justice are fulfilled when, after a night out with her friends, she wakes up with the sudden ability to cast instant karma on those around her.
Pru giddily makes use of the power, punishing everyone from public vandals to mean gossips, but there is one person on whom her powers consistently backfire: Quint Erickson, her slacker of a lab partner. Quint is annoyingly cute and impressively noble, especially when it comes to his work with the rescue center for local sea animals.
When Pru resigns herself to working at the rescue center for extra credit, she begins to uncover truths about baby otters, environmental upheaval, and romantic crossed signals—not necessarily in that order. Her newfound karmic insights reveal how thin the line is between virtue and vanity, generosity and greed, love and hate . . . and fate.

Σίντερ (Η τετραλογία της Σελήνης #1)
Marissa Meyer
Επειδή ακόμα και στο μέλλον οι ιστορίες θα ξεκινούν μ’ ένα «Μια φορά κι έναν καιρό…» Σίντερ της Μαρίσσα Μέγερ.
Η Σίντερ είναι η πιο προικισμένη μηχανικός του Νέου Πεκίνου, αλλά έχει την ατυχία να ζει με μια τυραννική μητριά και δύο αδελφές. Επιπλέον είναι σάιμποργκ — πολίτης β΄ κατηγορίας δηλαδή. Στα δεκάξι της το μόνο που την απασχολεί είναι να προλαβαίνει να ικανοποιεί τις απαιτήσεις της μητριάς και των αδελφών της.
Μια μέρα εισβάλλει στο εργαστήριό της ο όμορφος πρίγκιπας Κάι ζητώντας της να επισκευάσει το αγαπημένο του ανδροειδές. Η έλξη που νιώθει ο ένας για τον άλλον μοιάζει να μην έχει καμιά τύχη, ειδικά εκείνη τη χρονική στιγμή που το βασίλειο απειλείται από την τρομερή βασίλισσα της Λούνα, της πρώτης αποικίας των ανθρώπων στη Σελήνη.
Έτσι ξεκινάει η απίστευτη περιπέτεια της Σίντερ, κατά την οποία θα ανακαλύψει ότι η τύχη της ανθρωπότητας βρίσκεται στα χέρια της.
Ποια είναι τελικά η Σίντερ;
Η πλέον ενδιαφέρουσα και πρωτότυπη πρόταση στην αγορά του νεανικού τον τελευταίο χρόνο η οποία και ανταμείφθηκε με βραβεία και πολύ καλές πωλήσεις σε όλον τον κόσμο. Η πρωτοεμφανιζόμενη 26χρονη συγγραφέας παίρνει τέσσερις ηρωίδες από παραμύθια (Σταχτοπούτα, Κοκκινοσκουφίτσα, Ραπουντζέλ και Χιονάτη) και ξεπατικώνει τις ιστορίες τους σε ένα απόλυτα πιστευτό μελλοντολογικό –διαστημικό περιβάλλον με ανδροειδή και cyborgs.
Μια πολύ ξεχωριστή, ευφάνταστη και καλογραμμένη ιστορία που στηρίζεται στην διαρκή δράση και στις ανατροπές. Ένα βιβλίο πανέξυπνο, πολύ μοντέρνο στο περιβάλλον και τους διαλόγους του και, ταυτόχρονα, πολύ κλασικό στη δομή του που τη δανείζεται από τα πασίγνωστα παραμύθια. Ο συνδιασμός του κλασικού με το μελλοντολογικό και space θεωρείται το επόμενο trend στο είδος.

O λαός της Λούνα λατρεύει την πριγκίπισσα Γουίντερ για τη χάρη και την καλοσύνη της και, παρά τις ουλές στο πρόσωπό της, η οµορφιά της λέγεται ότι είναι ακόµα πιο συγκλονιστική από της µητριάς της, της βασίλισσας Λεβάνα. Η Γουίντερ απεχθάνεται τη µητριά της και ξέρει ότι η Λεβάνα δεν εγκρίνει τα αισθήµατά της για τον Γιάκιν, τον παιδικό φίλο της και γοητευτικό φρουρό του παλατιού. Όµως η Γουίντερ δεν είναι τόσο αδύναµη όσο πιστεύει η Λεβάνα και υπονοµεύει τις επιθυµίες της µητριάς της για χρόνια. Μαζί µε τη Σίντερ και τους συµµάχους της, η Γουίντερ έχει τη δύναµη να ξεκινήσει µια επανάσταση και να κερδίσει έναν πόλεµο που µαίνεται εδώ και πολύ καιρό. Μπορούν η Σίντερ, η Σκάρλετ, η Κρες και η Γουίντερ να νικήσουν τη Λεβάνα και να ζήσουν καλά κι εµείς καλύτερα;
Έσκυψε το κεφάλι της, γυρίζοντας από την άλλη για να κρύψει τις τρεις ουλές στο δεξί της µάγουλο. Για χρόνια η Γουίντερ υπέθετε ότι, όταν οι άνθρωποι την κοιτούσαν επίµονα, το έκαναν γιατί τους αηδίαζαν οι ουλές της. Μια σπάνια παραµόρφωση στον κόσµο τελειότητας στον οποίο ζούσαν. Όµως έπειτα µια υπηρέτρια της είπε ότι δεν ένιωθαν αηδία, αλλά δέος. Είπε ότι οι ουλές πρόσθεταν ενδιαφέρον στο παρουσιαστικό της Γουίντερ, ότι κατά κάποιον τρόπο, όσο παράξενο κι αν ακουγόταν, την έκαναν ακόµα πιο όµορφη. Όµορφη.
Ήταν µια λέξη που η Γουίντερ άκουγε διαρκώς γύρω της σε όλη της τη ζωή. Ένα όµορφο παιδί, ένα όµορφο κορίτσι, µια όµορφη νέα γυναίκα, τόσο όµορφη, απίστευτα όµορφη… και οι µατιές που ακολουθούσαν τη λέξη πάντα την έκαναν να θέλει να ρίξει πάνω της ένα πέπλο σαν της µητριάς της και να κρυφτεί από τους ψιθύρους.

The House Saphir
Marissa Meyer
Mallory Fontaine is a fraud. Though she comes from a long line of witches, the only magic she possesses is the ability to see ghosts, which is rarely as useful as one would think. She and her sister have maintained the family business, eking out a paltry living by selling fraudulent spells to gullible buyers and conducting tours of the infamous mansion where the first of the Saphir murders took place. Mallory is a self-proclaimed expert on Count Bastien Saphir - otherwise known as Monsieur Le Bleu - who brutally killed three of his wives more than a century ago. But she never expected to meet Bastien's great-grandson and heir to the Saphir estate. Armand is handsome, wealthy, and convinced that the Fontaine Sisters are as talented as they claim. The perfect mark. When he offers Mallory a large sum of money to rid his ancestral home of Le Bleu's ghost, she can’t resist. A paid vacation at Armand’s country manor? It’s practically a dream come true, never mind the ghosts of murdered wives and the monsters that are as common as household pests. But when murder again comes to the House Saphir, Mallory finds herself at the center of the investigation—and she is almost certain the killer is mortal. If she has any hope of cashing in on the payment she was promised, she’ll have to solve the murder and banish the ghost, all while upholding the illusion of witchcraft.But that all sounds relatively easy compared to her biggest learning to trust her heart. Especially when the person her heart wants the most might be a murderer himself.

Todos... excepto Quint. Que parece ser inmune a sus poderes.
