Resumen del Editor

Revenge is a dish best served cold.

In Ann Aguirre's Mortal Danger, Edie Kramer has a score to settle with the beautiful people at Blackbriar Academy. Their cruelty drove her to the brink of despair, and four months ago, she couldn't imagine being strong enough to face her senior year. But thanks to a Faustian compact with the enigmatic Kian, she has the power to make the bullies pay. She's not supposed to think about Kian once the deal is done, but devastating pain burns behind his unearthly beauty, and he's impossible to forget.

In one short summer, her entire life changes and she sweeps through Blackbriar, prepped to take the beautiful people down from the inside. A whisper here, a look there, and suddenly . . . bad things are happening. It's a head rush, seeing her tormentors get what they deserve, but things that seem too good to be true usually are, and soon, the pranks and payback turns from delicious to deadly. Edie is alone in a world teeming with secrets and fiends lurking in the shadows. In this murky morass of devil's bargains, she isn't sure who—or what—she can trust. Not even her own mind.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Bullied and humiliated, Edie is set to exit this life when Kian, a preternaturally attractive stranger, appears with an offer that is more appealing than jumping off a bridge . . . her inner dialogue keeps readers on track with her persisting insecurities, ensuring that readers will be fully on board as she prepares to do battle in the promised sequel.” —BCCB

“This will be a popular, fun, and fast-read series that can encourage discussion about true beauty, friendship, popularity, loyalty, and choices.” —VOYA

“Aguirre has crafted a sophisticated novel that combines science, horror, and romance amid the realities of high-school cultures. Readers will eagerly anticipate sequels to this frightening, exciting, and erudite celebration of smart teens.” —Booklist

Great storytelling!

I picked out this selection with no prior knowledge of the author or story. It was very engaging from beginning to surprise ending.
It would make a great movie...you’ll enjoy it too!

Can't get enough!

I laughed, I cried, It made me think and helped me escape the real world while listening to it.
I have to confess I read the last book first by mistake and it freaked me out! I loved every minute and couldn't put it down even though I didn't know what she was talking about when she said "with what happened to me" I just kept thinking it would explain later on in the story but never did. Half way in I realized this was not the first book but like I said I couldn't put it down so I finished it and then googled how many books where in the series and then realized I read the last one. I could have just left it like that and just know the amazing ending, but It was so amazing that I had to read the whole series. It now makes much more sense and I can't wait to read the next book and re-read the last one. This book takes you on a journey, you could stop reading or listening for days but when you pick it back up the journey continues from where you left off and you can't wait to see what happens. Over all a great read. It will now be in my favorites.

Good book

Good book, kept me interested and I liked the modern take on the things that lurk beneath your bed. Enjoy
