It's the summer of 1969, and the shock of conflict reverberates through the youth of America, both at home and abroad. As a student at a quiet college campus in the heartland of Indiana, Terry Ives couldn't be farther from the front lines of Vietnam or the incendiary protests in Washington.

This is another laugh out loud, action-packed romantic adventure you won't want to miss. After saving the world and stopping the apocalypse, Callie and Luke are looking forward to a quiet, romantic weekend together. When you're human and dating the Prince of Hell, quiet moments are hard to come by.

If they can prove it's possible to redeem a soul, Lucifer will allow the two of them to make some changes in Hell. But this wayward soul, Sean, doesn't have any interest in being redeemed. Instead, now that he's back on Earth, he's decided to take a leaf out of Callie and Luke's book and wants to find the Holy Grail. Now Callie, Luke, and their friends—and enemies—must race Sean around the globe on a Grail quest and bring peace between Heaven and Hell before they can finally (maybe) get around to that date.]]></description><link>https://wccls.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S143C4058882</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://wccls.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S143C4058882</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bond, Gwenda]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://wccls.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4058882143</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781250771773/MC.GIF&amp;client=wccls&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Date From Hell]]></title><description><![CDATA[In Gwenda Bond's The Date from Hell , the hilarious, romantic sequel to Not Your Average Hot Guy , Callie and Luke’s date is thwarted when Lucifer gives them three days to redeem a soul...]]></description><link>https://wccls.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S143C4149743</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://wccls.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S143C4149743</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bond, Gwenda]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://wccls.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4149743143</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593509951/MC.GIF&amp;client=wccls&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stranger Things]]></title><description><![CDATA[Un laboratorio misterioso.

Verano de 1969. La guerra causa conmoción entre los jóvenes estadounidenses.

Sin embargo, tras los muros del Laboratorio Nacional de Hawkins y la mirada penetrante de su director, el doctor Martin Brenner, acecha una conspiración aún más grande de lo que Terry jamás ha imaginado. Para hacerle frente, necesitará la ayuda de los demás sujetos de las pruebas, entre ellos, uno tan misterioso que el mundo desconoce su existencia; una niña con inexplicables poderes sobrehumanos y un número en lugar de nombre: 008.

La lectura apocalíptica de playa que todo el mundo necesita". - Alix E. Harrow, autora ganadora del premio Hugo Una comedia romántica paranormal en el (posible) fin del mundo. Del bestseller del New York Times autora Gwenda Bond, Not Your Average Hot Guy es una divertida comedia romántica sobre dos personas que se enamoran, mientras que el destino del mundo descansa sobre sus hombros. Todo lo que Callie quería era un fin de semana tranquilo con su mejor amiga. Le prometió a su madre que podría maneja el negocio de la sala de escape de su familia mientras su madre está fuera de la ciudad. En su lugar, aparece un culto satánico que afirma que el libro de hechizos de utilería en una de las habitaciones es el verdadero negocio y que lo necesitan para invocar la mano derecha del diablo. Naturalmente, se llevan a Callie y a su amiga, Mag, junto con ellos. Pero cuando la invocación revela a un apuesto demonio con una chaqueta de cuero llamado Luke que se ofrece a ayudar a Callie a evitar que el culto destruya el mundo, su noche pasa de extraña a completamente extraña. A medida que el grupo intenta mantenerse un paso por delante del culto, Callie se siente atraída por el molesto (y molestamente guapo) Luke. Pero lo que Callie no sabe es que Luke no es otro que Luke Morningstar, Príncipe del Infierno e hijo del mismísimo Diablo. Callie nunca tuvo tiempo para el amor, y con el apocalipsis acercándose, ¿hay lugar para el romance cuando el infierno está a punto de estallar?]]></description><link>https://wccls.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S143C4162775</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://wccls.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S143C4162775</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[spa]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bond, Gwenda]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://wccls.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4162775143</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle/><language>spa</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9788417421861/MC.GIF&amp;client=wccls&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1346152917</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not Your Average Hot Guy]]></title><description><![CDATA["Fun, funny, hot, and heartfelt...The apocalyptic beach read that everyone needs." - Alix E.

A sinister scientist. A secret history. If you think you know the truth behind Eleven's mother, prepare to have your mind turned Upside Down in this thrilling prequel to the hit show Stranger Things . It's the summer of 1969, and the shock of conflict reverberates through the youth of America, both at home and abroad. As a student at a quiet college campus in the heartland of Indiana, Terry Ives couldn't be farther from the front lines of Vietnam or the incendiary protests in Washington. But the world is changing, and Terry isn't content to watch from the sidelines. When word gets around about an important government experiment in the small town of Hawkins, she signs on as a test subject for the project, code-named MKULTRA. Unmarked vans, a remote lab deep in the woods, mind-altering substances administered by tight-lipped researchers . . . and a mystery the young and restless Terry is determined to uncover. But behind the walls of Hawkins National Laboratory—and the piercing gaze of its director, Dr. Martin Brenner—lurks a conspiracy greater than Terry could have ever imagined. To face it, she'll need the help of her fellow test subjects, including one so mysterious the world doesn't know she exists—a young girl with unexplainable superhuman powers and a number instead of a name: 008. Amid the rising tensions of the new decade, Terry Ives and Martin Brenner have begun a different kind of war—one where the human mind is the battlefield.

Un siniestro científico. Una historia secreta. Si quieres conocer por fin la verdad sobre la madre de Once, prepárate para esta emocionante precuela de la exitosa serie Stranger Things . Verano de 1969. La guerra causa conmoción entre los jóvenes estadounidenses. Terry Ives, la estudiante de un tranquilo campus universitario en el corazón de Indiana, no puede estar más lejos del frente de Vietnam y de las protestas en Washington. Pero el mundo está cambiando y Terry no se conforma con ser una mera espectadora. Cuando se entera de que el gobierno llevará a cabo un importante experimento en la pequeña población de Hawkins, se presenta voluntaria. Denominado MKUltra, el proyecto cuenta con furgonetas camufladas, un laboratorio en las profundidades del bosque, sustancias psicoactivas administradas por unos investigadores extremadamente reservados... y un misterio que la joven e inquieta Terry está decidida a desvelar. Sin embargo, tras los muros del Laboratorio Nacional de Hawkins y la mirada penetrante de su director, el doctor Martin Brenner, acecha una conspiración aún más grande de lo que Terry jamás ha imaginado. Para hacerle frente, necesitará la ayuda de los demás sujetos de las pruebas, entre ellos, uno tan misterioso que el mundo desconoce su existencia; una niña con inexplicables poderes sobrehumanos y un número en lugar de nombre: 008. En medio de la tensión creciente en la nueva década, Terry Ives y Martin Brenner han entablado una guerra de distinto género: una guerra en la que la mente humana es el campo de batalla.]]></description><link>https://wccls.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S143C3678351</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://wccls.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S143C3678351</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[spa]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bond, Gwenda]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://wccls.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3678351143</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle/><language>spa</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9788401023262/MC.GIF&amp;client=wccls&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Triple Threat]]></title><description><![CDATA[For the first time, Lois Lane has almost everything she wants.

Harrow, Hugo Award-winning author A paranormal romantic comedy at the (possible) end of the world. From New York Times bestselling author Gwenda Bond, Not Your Average Hot Guy is a hilarious romantic comedy about two people falling in love, while the fate of the world rests on their shoulders. All Callie wanted was a quiet weekend with her best friend. She promised her mom she could handle running her family's escape room business while her mom is out of town. Instead a Satanic cult shows up, claiming that the prop spell book in one of the rooms is the real deal, and they need it to summon the right hand of the devil. Naturally they take Callie and her friend, Mag, along with them. But when the summoning reveals a handsome demon in a leather jacket named Luke who offers to help Callie stop the cult from destroying the world, her night goes from weird to completely strange. As the group tries to stay one step ahead of the cult, Callie finds herself drawn to the annoying (and annoyingly handsome) Luke. But what Callie doesn't know is that Luke is none other than Luke Morningstar, Prince of Hell and son of the Devil himself. Callie never had time for love, and with the apocalypse coming closer, is there room for romance when all hell's about to break loose?"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://wccls.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S143C3995043</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://wccls.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S143C3995043</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bond, Gwenda]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://wccls.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3995043143</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Romantic Comedy at the (possible) End of the World</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781250771742/MC.GIF&amp;client=wccls&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1245958208</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Lost Legacy]]></title><description><![CDATA[Stephen' father replaces Nana cooking for "supernormals" at an elite New York City hotel, but when a magical family heirloom is stolen, Stephen must quickly figure out his new world and clear his name, with help from new friends.]]></description><link>https://wccls.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S143C3009727</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://wccls.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S143C3009727</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bond, Gwenda]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://wccls.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3009727143</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780062459947/MC.GIF&amp;client=wccls&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=956625933</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[George R. R. Martin Presents Wild Cards]]></title><description><![CDATA[Superheroes and villains do battle over the human heart in this delightful anthology featuring all-new stories from a wide range of contributors, all set in the Wild Cards universe, where an alien virus mutates some and grants superpowers to others, created by the #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Game of Thrones . An alien virus ravages the world, its results as random as a hand of cards. Those infected either draw the black queen and die, draw an ace and receive superpowers, or draw the joker and are bizarrely mutated. Nevertheless, human nature reigns supreme. And one of the most enduring human drives is the search for love. Aces and jokers alike both want to find it, or have lost it . . . or perhaps just want to use it for personal gain. Crazy, unconventional, touching, strange, and oh-so-familiar, this is love, Wild Cards-style. Within these stories: A jewel thief seduces a popular actor just so she can track down a long-lost treasure. A teenager trapped in the body of a giant snail attempts to win his love à la Cyrano de Bergerac. A man discovers his purpose in life after meeting a beautiful butterfly woman. A young hero who has been awarded the hideous name of Hero McHeroface finds some solace in the arms of an astrologer hiding her own unique powers. Pairing Up is the Wild Cards take on love—finding it, seeking it, losing it, or achieving it—as aces and jokers enter into the highest stake game of all: gambling on their heart's desire. Featuring stories from: Kevin Andrew Murphy Christopher Rowe Marko Kloos Melinda M. Snodgrass Bradley Denton Walton Simons Peter Newman Gwenda Bond David Anthony Durham Edited by George R. R.
