 Sizzling Sixteen (Stephanie Plum, 16) – Janet Evanovich

Trenton, New Jersey, bounty hunter Stephanie Plum has inherited a “lucky” bottle from her Uncle Pip. Problem is, Uncle Pip didn’t specify if the bottle brought good luck or bad luck. . . .
BAD LUCK:
Vinnie, of Vincent Plum Bail Bonds, has run up a gambling debt of $786,000 with mobster Bobby Sunflower and is being held until the cash can be produced. Nobody else will pay to get Vinnie back, leaving it up to Stephanie, office manager Connie, and file clerk Lula to raise the money if they want to save their jobs.
GOOD LUCK:
Being in the business of tracking down people, Stephanie, Lula, and Connie have an advantage in finding Vinnie. If they can rescue him, it will buy them some time to raise the cash.
BAD LUCK:
Finding a safe place to hide Vinnie turns out to be harder than raising $786,000. Vinnie’s messing up Mooner’s vibe, running up pay-per-view porn charges in Ranger’s apartment, and making Stephanie question genetics.
GOOD LUCK:
Between a bonds office yard sale that has the entire Burg turning out, Mooner’s Hobbit-Con charity event, and Uncle Pip’s lucky bottle, they just might raise enough money to save the business, and Vinnie, from ruin.
BAD LUCK:
Saving Vincent Plum Bail Bonds means Stephanie can keep being a bounty hunter. In Trenton, this involves hunting down a man wanted for polygamy, a turnpike toilet paper bandit, and a drug dealer with a pet alligator named Mr. Jingles.
GOOD LUCK:
The job of bounty hunter comes with perks in the guise of Trenton’s hottest cop, Joe Morelli, and the dark and dangerous security expert, Ranger. With any luck at all, Uncle Pip’s lucky bottle will have Stephanie getting lucky—the only question is . . . with whom? 



Late Eclipses (October daye, 4) – Seanan McGuire

Two years ago, October “Toby” Daye believed she could leave the world of Faerie behind. She was wrong. Now she finds herself in the service of Duke Sylvester Torquill, sharing an apartment with her Fetch, and maintaining an odd truce with Tybalt, the local King of Cats. It’s a delicate balance—one that’s shattered when she learns that an old friend is in dire trouble. Lily, Lady of the Tea Gardens, has been struck down by a mysterious, seemingly impossible illness, leaving her fiefdom undefended.
Struggling to find a way to save Lily and her subjects, Toby must confront her own past as an enemy she thought was gone forever raises her head once more: Oleander de Merelands, one of the two people responsible for her fourteen-year exile. But if Oleander’s back, what’s her game? Where is she hiding? And what part does Toby’s mother, Amandine, have to play?
Time is growing short and the stakes are getting higher. For the Queen of the Mists has her own agenda, and there are more players in this game than Toby can guess. With everything on the line, she will have to take the ultimate risk to save herself and the people she loves most—because if she can’t find the missing pieces of the puzzle in time, Toby will be forced to make the one choice she thought she’d never have to face again…

Il y a deux ans, October ‘Toby” Daye croyait qu’elle pouvait laisser le monde de la Fairie derrière elle. Elle avait tord. Maintenant elle se retrouve au service du Duc Sylvester Torquevill, partageant un appartement avec sa “Fletch” et maintenant une étrange paix avec Tybalt, le roi local des chats. C’est une balance délicate – une qui se brise dès qu’elle apprend qu’un ancien ami a des ennuis. Lily, Lady des Jardins de Thé, a été atteinte par une mystérieuse et impossible maladie, laissant son royaume sans défense.
Essayant de trouver un moyen de sauver Lily et ses sujets, Toby va devoir se confronter à son passé comme à un ennemi qu’elle pensait à jamais disparu : Oleander de Merelands, un de ceux responsable pour son exil de 14 ans. Mais si Oleander est de retour, quel est son jeu? Ou se cachet-elle? Et qu’a Amandine, la mère de Toby à voir avec tout cela ? le temps est compté et les enjeux grandissent. Le Reine des Ombres a son propre agenda, et il y a plus de personnes dans ce jeu que Toby pourrait le penser. Avec tout cela en ligne, elle va devoir prendre un ultime risque pour se sauver elle et les gens qu’elle aime le plus – parce que si elle ne trouve pas la pièce de puzzle qui manque à temps, Toby sera forcée de faire un choix qu’elle pensait ne jamais à refaire…

Nightshine (Kyndred, 4) – Lynn Viehl

When San Francisco paramedic Charlotte ‘Charlie’ Marena stops to help at the scene of an accident, she never imagines she’ll wind up trapped on a Mexican island, with orders to procreate with powerful Takyn Samuel Taske.  In her mind, he’s got two strikes against him: He knows about her secret nighttime telepathic ability and he’s too wealthy to be trusted.

Samuel  is psychic, but he’s never foreseen that he’ll fall for the woman he has been charged with protecting.  GenHance-the biotech company willing to do anything to acquire super-human DNA-is after them, and when Samuel discovers that his Takyn powers have abandoned him, Charlie’s gift is their only hope for survival . . .  

Quand l’ambulancier de San Francisco Charlotte ‘Charlie’ Marena s’arrête pour aider lors d’un accident, elle n’aurait jamais imaginé qu’elle se retrouverait piégée sur une iles mexicaine, avec pour ordre de procreer avec le puissant Takyn Samuel TAske. Dans son esprit, il a deja deux points contre lui : il sait au sujet de son pouvoir de télépathie et il est trop riche pour qu’elle ait confiance en lui.
Samuel est un psychique, mais il n’avait jamais imaginé tombé amoureux de la femme qu’il devait protéger. GenHance, la compagnie biotech prête à tout pour acquérir l’ADN super humain est après eux et quand Samuel découvre que ses pouvoir de Takyn l’ont abandonné, le don de Charlie est leur seul espoir de survivre…
 Le sacre de fer / Iron crowned (Dark Swan, 3) – Richelle Mead
Shaman-for-hire Eugenie Markham is the best at banishing entities trespassing in the mortal realm. But as the Thorn Land’s queen, she’s fast running out of ways to end the brutal war devastating her kingdom. Her only hope: the Iron Crown, a legendary object even the most powerful gentry fear…

Who Eugenie can trust is the hardest part. Fairy king Dorian has his own agenda for aiding her search. And Kiyo, her shape-shifter ex-boyfriend, has every reason to betray her along the way. To control the Crown’s ever-consuming powers, Eugenie will have to confront an unimaginable temptation – one that will put her soul and the fate of two worlds in mortal peril…

Le pouvoir est la pire tentation.

Eugenie Markham n’a pas son pareil pour chasser du monde des humains les êtres surnaturels qui s’y risquent. En revanche, elle peine à stopper la guerre qui dévaste son propre royaume, Terre-de-Daléa.
Son seul espoir : la Couronne de Fer, un artefact légendaire redouté de tous. Mais qui l’aidera dans sa quête ? Elle ne peut guère se fier aux hommes de sa vie, Dorian et Kiyo… Or, pour maîtriser les pouvoirs incommensurables de la Couronne, elle devra résister à une terrible tentation, au risque, si elle échoue, de détruire son âme et deux mondes.
  

 Baiser Fatal / The Darkest Kiss (Riley Jenson guardian, 6) – Keri Arthur
Danger turns her on. Desire turns her dangerous…
Riley Jenson hunts evildoers—and does it with a style all her own. With vamp blood coursing her through her veins, and a werewolf’s uncanny instinct for danger, Riley wears snakeskin stilettos and pure, in-your-face attitude when she plunges into her latest case: hunting down a killer whose victims are high-society strumpets—and the rich and powerful men they’ve dated.
But for Riley, the case takes a chilling turn when a second killer starts trailing mutilated bodies of his own: a crazed young vamp choosing victims from a past marked by tragedy. Riley knows she’s got the skill and cunning to catch two serial killers at once…until one of them strikes inside her own tight-knit clan—and a sexy beast of a vampire reenters her life to aid in the hunt. His name is Quinn. He’s lived forever, shed blood, and shared pleasure…and he’s the only man over whom Riley has absolutely no control….
Riley Jenson traque le mal d’une manière très personnelle. Son dernier cas : un tueur en série qui s’attaque aux prostituées de la haute société. L’affaire prend une tournure inquiétante quand un deuxième meurtrier commence lui aussi à semer des corps mutilés. Riley est assez douée pour attraper deux assassins d’un coup, mais voilà que l’un d’eux s’attaque à un proche de la jeune fille et qu’un vampire réapparaît dans sa vie. Son nom est Quinn et c’est le seul homme sur lequel Riley n’a absolument aucun contrôle… 
 Mauvais sang / Bad Blood (Crimson Moon, 1) – L.A Banks

Sasha Trudeau knows all about working beneath the shadows, back-alley deals, and things that go bump in the night. She also knows that the world is unaware of the existence of the paranormal—and that the government would like to keep it that way.
As a highly trained Special Ops soldier, Sasha and her team are an elite group of individuals who are survivors of werewolf attacks, now trained to be loyal to only to each other and their government. But when she returns from a solo mission, she finds that her team has mysteriously gone missing. Shocking government conspiracies, double-dealing vampires, and a host of stunning revelations about who—and what—she really is are only just the beginning…

Sasha est un soldat d’élite. A la tête de son commando, elle est chargée de contrôler l’activité paranormale dans le monde. Sa préoccupation majeure : éviter que du sang contaminé de loup-garou ne soit vendu au marché noir.
De retour d’une mission en solo, Sasha découvre que son équipe de choc a disparu sans laisser de traces. Fidèle à ses partenaires à la vie à la mort, elle tente tout pour les retrouver.
Dans cette quête de la vérité, la jeune femme ne peut se fier qu’à son instinct. Conspirations au plus haut niveau dans son propre camp, agents infiltrés chez les vampires et les loups-garous, manipulations scientifiques… Sasha doit surmonter tous les obstacles.
Mais saura-t-elle affronter de la même manière les tourments de son cœur et de terribles révélations sur son passé ? 
Le pacte du démon / Demon Bound (Black London, 2) – Caitlin Katredge
Thirteen years ago, Jack Winter lay dying in a graveyard.  Jack called upon a demon and traded his soul for his life… and now the demon is back to collect its due.  But Jack has finally found something to live for.  Her name is Pete Caldecott, and because of her, Jack’s not going to Hell without a fight.  
Pete doesn’t know about Jack’s bargain, but she does know that something bigger and far more dangerous than Jack’s demon is growing in the Black.  Old gods are stirring and spirits are rising–and Jack doesn’t stand a chance of stopping them without Pete’s help.  
Le sinistre passé de Jack Winter est revenu le hanter… et son seul espoir se tapit dans les Ténèbres de Londres, le monde souterrain et surnaturel où magie noire et glamour extralucide abondent. Treize ans plus tôt, Jack Winter était étendu mourant dans un cimetière. Il a invoqué un démon et vendu son âme en échange de sa vie… Aujourd’hui, le démon revient afin de récupérer ce qui lui revient de droit. Mais Jack a enfin trouvé une raison de vivre. Elle s’appelle Pete Caldecott et, à cause d’elle, Jack refuse d’aller en Enfer sans se battre. Pete ne sait rien du marché qu’a passé Jack mais elle est certaine que quelque chose de plus important et de bien plus dangereux croît dans les Ténèbres. Les Anciens Dieux sont en train de se réveiller et les esprits se soulèvent ; Jack n’a aucune chance de les arrêter sans l’aide de Pete.
