Holly Bourne

Every so often, two people are born who are the perfect match for each other. Soulmates. But while the odds of this happening are about as likely as being struck by lightning, when these people do meet and fall in love, thunderstorms, lightning strikes and lashings of rain are only the beginning of their problems. After a chance meeting at a local band night, Poppy and Noah find themselves swept up in a whirlwind romance unlike anything theyve ever experienced before. But with a secret international agency preparing to separate them and a trail of destruction rumbling in their wake, they are left with an impossible choice between the end of the world, or a life without love...

Las almas gemelas existen de verdad. Pero encontrar la tuya no siempre es algo bueno.Ellos son el uno para el otro. O tal vez no.Las almas gemelas existen, pero no como te lo imaginas. Cada tanto nacen dos personas que forman la pareja perfecta. Son almas gemelas. Pero ¿y si encontrar a tu alma gemela tuviera el potencial para destruir la tierra, literalmente?Una extraordinaria y epica historia sobre enamorarse.Yo nunca habia creido en las almas gemelas. Era una expresion hollywoodiense, un concepto inventado para vender literatura romantica y derechos de autor. A mi modo de ver, el amor era una obsesion mundial nacida de la fantasia desesperada. Daba igual que la gente hablara de amor, de romanticismo, del hallazgo de nuestra alma gemela y demas paparruchas. Para mi no era mas que una cuestion de hormonas, de quimica y biologia, envuelta en la ilusion de vivir felices para siempre, fruto del miedo a estar solos. Claro que siempre se es una cinica hasta que una misma se enamora. El problema era que Hollywood, Stephanie Meyer, Mills y Boon..., todos ellos tenian razon. Las almas gemelas existen de verdad. Lo que ninguno de ellos entendia es que encontrarla no siempre es algo bueno.
