Ahora una película de Netflix

"Criaturas luminosas es un debut en última instancia reconfortante, pero profundamente sensible... memorable y conmovedor." --The Washington Post

Una novela encantadora, ingeniosa y cautivadora sobre la amistad, el autodescubrimiento y la esperanza, que sigue a una viuda que forma un vínculo inesperado con un pulpo gigante del Pacífico.

Marcellus es un pulpo increíblemente curioso y descarado. Cada día, mucha gente pasa por delante de su tanque en el acuario de Sowell Bay, aunque pocos se detienen demasiado. En cambio, Tova, la limpiadora, le ha cogido cariño y, mientras barre, le cuenta cuánto echa de menos a su hijo, desaparecido hace treinta años en el mar.

A Marcellus no se le escapa nada y es mucho más inteligente de lo que nadie podría imaginar, pero nunca se le ocurriría mover un solo tentáculo para ayudar a uno de sus captores humanos... hasta que comienza a formar una inesperada amistad con Tova. Con su perspicacia de detective, Marcellus ha deducido lo que sucedió la noche de la desaparición. Y ahora tendrá que ingeniárselas desde el otro lado del cristal para revelarle la verdad, antes de que sea demasiado tarde.

Una novela deslumbrante y conmovedora sobre una amistad capaz de vencer la peor de las soledades. Y una historia de esperanza sobre dos almas generosas, criaturas imperfectas... y, quizá por eso, increíblemente luminosas.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Now a Netflix Film

A New York Times Bestseller!

A Read With Jenna Today Show Book Club Pick!

"Remarkably Bright Creatures [is] an ultimately feel-good but deceptively sensitive debut. . . . Memorable and tender." -- Washington Post

For fans of A Man Called Ove, a luminous debut novel about a widow's unlikely friendship with a giant Pacific octopus reluctantly residing at the local aquarium--and the truths she finally uncovers about her son's disappearance 30 years ago.

After Tova Sullivan's husband died, she began working the night shift at the Sowell Bay Aquarium, mopping floors and tidying up. Keeping busy has always helped her cope, which she's been doing since her eighteen-year-old son, Erik, mysteriously vanished on a boat in Puget Sound over thirty years ago.

Tova becomes acquainted with curmudgeonly Marcellus, a giant Pacific octopus living at the aquarium. Marcellus knows more than anyone can imagine but wouldn't dream of lifting one of his eight arms for his human captors--until he forms a remarkable friendship with Tova.
Ever the detective, Marcellus deduces what happened the night Tova's son disappeared. And now Marcellus must use every trick his old invertebrate body can muster to unearth the truth for her before it's too late.

Shelby Van Pelt's debut novel is a gentle reminder that sometimes taking a hard look at the past can help uncover a future that once felt impossible.

One of the best debut novels I’ve read!
Format: Kindle
First, congratulations to Ella Dawes on an amazing book! You knocked it out of the park! If you are looking for an action packed, 🌶️ 🌶️🌶️ story, this is the book for you. Darius 🤤, the surly captain of the guard and an alpha at heart is to die for, battle scars and traumatic past and all. Lena, is the fierce and strong FMC we all want to be. She’s string willed, without the needless stubbornness. Fate has brought them together, whether they want things this way or not. The chemistry burning between Lena and Darius is undeniable, but can they set their differences aside and trust each other long enough to work together? We’ve established the main characters are phenomenal but can we focus on the side characters for a bit? Griffin and Kace were so well written. I felt ai could be friends with them in real life. The story is well written, the pacing was phenomenal and at times my heart hurt for the characters as if I knew them. This author just getting started guys, I cannot wait to see where she goes from here and how she continues to develop this world.

Great listen!
Format: Audiobook
I really enjoyed this audio book. Lead male character was a little too abusive for my liking, and that made me not root for the love match. But the story was interesting, and the voice actors did an amazing job.

Right from the start, I was drawn in by the prologue!!!
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
Queen of Roses (Blood of a Fae #1) by Briar Boleyn Genre General Fiction ( Adult), Romance, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Dark Romance “More primordial than the stars. My name was on his lips as he promised unspeakable darkness to any who came between us.” Right from the start, I was drawn in by the prologue!!! I’m a big fan of “touch her, and you die” vibes, but I mean, what’s also not to love about a unique Arthurian retelling with gender twists, a treacherous royal court, a dangerous quest, magical Fae & mystical monsters, entwined with a bit of spice! Morgan, Princess of Pendrath and true heir to the throne has spent most of her life dimming her light to feel safe and to make others comfortable. She is treated as an outcast in the court and repressed by her family due to the blood of the Fae within her and forced to join the Temple of the Three as a priestess in training to one day replace Merlin. Her brother, King Arthur, who reminds me of Joffrey from Game of Thrones, later tells her that he has other plans and offers her a choice of the Temple or to marry her off for political gain, unless… that is, she can journey through the great unknown and return with a long-lost fae weapon with enchanted powers known as Excalibur. Her quest begins with a roguish crew that includes the mysterious, arrogant, and heart-tuggingly handsome Captain of the Royal Guard, Kairos Draven, whom she can’t decide if she wants to stab or indulge in pleasure with. Along the way are plenty of surprises, mystical creatures, and betrayal, all while Morgan uncovers more of the truth about herself and who she can trust. This book had intriguing storylines and lovable characters that kept me turning pages and wanting more. I can’t wait to see how it all unfolds and comes together in book 2, Court of Claws, which I just started reading!! Read if you’re into- Dark Fantasy/Romance Slow–Burn Question Everything Magic and Action Fae Arthurian Legend Stabby/Broken FFC Morally Gray MMC Forced Proximity Queen of Roses is perfect for Holly Black, Jennifer L. Armentrout, and Sarah J. Maas fans. Please check the trigger warnings page in the table of contents before reading this book.

3.5 stars, A little boring to say the least.
Format: Kindle
Wow so I'm not sure where to begin on this one. This was a very different take on the legend of Arthur and Excalibur. This is told from the point of view of Morgan the sister of Arthur. Honestly the first 50% of this book is world building and character building which unfortunately was super boring for me. Morgan to me was a female MC that had a hard time in believing in herself. Sometimes taking too long to understand exactly what was going on around her. Draven was also a different male MC, like I couldn't put my finger on him and what he was all about. It was not until the last 10% of the book did we get some answers on the mystery that is Draven. The other 50% of the book centered around this big journey with everyone having a different motive. We see a spark of magic around this time that had me excited but then we never expanded upon that and what it could mean for the female MC. I feel like I want to read the second book just to see where this goes, but the spice was probably a 2 out of 5. Side characters are ok, Lancelet was fun but I almost felt like I wanted more.
