This week I received / Cette semaine j’ai reçu:
Skeleton Crew (Underworld Cycle, 2) – Cameron Haley
Bodies are hitting the pavement in L.A. like they always do, but this time they’re getting right back up, death be damned. My mobbed-up outfit of magicians may be the strongest in the city, but even they aren’t immune to the living dead.
And I’ve yet to develop a resistance to Adan Rashan.
If I don’t team up with the boss’s son, we won’t just be at each other’s throats over control of the outfit. We’ll be craving hearts and brains, as well.
Because as long as this nasty spirit from the Between is stopping souls from finding peace, I’m facing the biggest supernatural crisis to ever hit the City of Angels.
Zombies, it’s time you feared me.
Les corps s’entassent sur les trottoirs de L.A. comme toujours, mais cette fois ils se relèvent, “Mort” soit damnée. Mon “Mob” peut bien posséder les magiciens les plus forts de la ville, mais même eux ne sont pas immunisés des morts vivants.
Et je dois déjà développer une résistance à Adan Rashan.
Si je ne m’associe pas au fils du patron, nous n’allons pas seulement nous jeter à la gorge l’un de l’autre pour le contrôle. Nous allons aussi bien nous faire mal au coeur et à la tête.
Car tant que ce méchant esprit venant de l’entre deux empêche les âmes de trouver la paix, je fais face à la plus grande crise surnaturelle qui a jamais touché la Cité des Anges.
Zombies, il est tant que vous aillez peur de moi.
Lies Beneath (Lies Beneath, 1) – Anne Greenwood Brown
Calder White lives in the cold, clear waters of Lake Superior, the only brother in a family of murderous mermaids. To survive, Calder and his sisters prey on humans, killing them to absorb their energy. But this summer the underwater clan targets Jason Hancock out of pure revenge. They blame Hancock for their mother’s death and have been waiting a long time for him to return to his family’s homestead on the lake. Hancock has a fear of water, so to lure him in, Calder sets out to seduce Hancock’s daughter, Lily. Easy enough—especially as Calder has lots of practice using his irresistable good looks and charm on ususpecting girls. Only this time Calder screws everything up: he falls for Lily—just as Lily starts to suspect that there’s more to the monsters-in-the-lake legends than she ever imagined. And just as his sisters are losing patience with him.
Calder White vie dans les eaux claires et froides du Lac Supérieur, le seul frère dans une famille de sirènes meurtrières. Pour survivre, Calder et ses soeurs chassent les humains, les tuant pour absorber leur énergie. Mais cet été, le clan des profondeurs a fait de Jason Hancock sa cible par pure vengeance. Ils l’accusent du meurtre de leur mère et ils ont donc attendus longtemps qu’il retourne dans sa famille au Lac. Hancock a peur de l’eau, alors pour le leurrer, Calder essaie de séduire sa fille, Lily. Assez facile – surtout que Calder a beaucoup de pratique dans l’utilisation de son irrésistible beauté et de ses charmes sur les filles. Mais cette fois Calder rate tout : Il tombe amoureux de Lily – juste au moment où Lily commence à suspecter qu’il y a plus de monstres dans ce lac de légende qu’elle n’aurait imaginé. Et juste quand ses soeurs commencent à perdre patience.
Opal Fire (A Stacy Justice Mystery) – Barbra Annino
Stacy Justice did not expect to be set on fire that night, but being raised by witches prepares one for life’s little surprises. In fact, she isn’t the least bit shocked when her cousin is accused of arson, or when her divorced grandparents sign up for a marriage retreat, or even when her own boyfriend hauls her off to jail. But when a decades-old secret is discovered within the walls of her cousin’s bar, even Stacy is rattled. Now, someone wants her dead and she finds herself dodging angry motorists, exploding chickens and a very creepy man who lurks around every corner. As she begins to dig up the past, Stacy learns that even those closest to her have something to hide–and she’s about to discover a destiny she never imagined.
Stacy Justice ne s’attendait pas à être mise en feu cette nuit là, mais être élevée par des sorcières, prépare une vie pleine de petites surprises. En fait, elle n’est même pas choquée quand son cousin est accusé d’être à l’origine d’un incendie volontaire, ou quand ses grands parents divorcés signent un contrat de mariage, ou même quand son petit ami la fait évader de prison. Mais quand un secret gardé depuis des siècles est découvert dans les murs du bar de son cousin, même Stacy est perturbée. maintenant, quelqu’un la veut morte, et elle se retrouve à devoir esquiver des motards en colères, des poulets qui explosent et un homme très louche qui semble être à chaque coin de rue. Et quand elle commence à creuser dans son passé, Stacy apprend que même les personnes les plus proches d’elle ont quelque chose à cacher – et elle va découvrir une destinée qu’elle n’aurait jamais imaginée.
