Check out our three international giveaways:
Sans Forme/Changeless (Parasol Protectorate, 2) – Gail Garriger
Alexia Tarabotti, the Lady Woolsey, awakens in the wee hours of the mid-afternoon to find her husband, who should be decently asleep like any normal werewolf, yelling at the top of his lungs. Then he disappears – leaving her to deal with a regiment of supernatural soldiers encamped on her doorstep, a plethora of exorcised ghosts, and an angry Queen Victoria.
But Alexia is armed with her trusty parasol, the latest fashions, and an arsenal of biting civility. Even when her investigations take her to Scotland, the backwater of ugly waistcoats, she is prepared: upending werewolf pack dynamics as only the soulless can.
She might even find time to track down her wayward husband, if she feels like it.
Miss Alexia Tarabotti est devenue Lady Alexia Woolsey. Un jour qu’elle se réveille de sa sieste, s’attendant à trouver son époux gentiment endormi à ses côtés comme tout loup-garou qui se respecte, elle le découvre hurlant à s’en faire exploser les poumons. Puis il disparaît sans explication… laissant Alexia seule, aux prises avec un régiment de soldats non-humains, une pléthore de fantômes exorcisés, et une reine Victoria qui n’est point amusée du tout. Mais Alexia est toujours armée de sa fidèle ombrelle et des dernières tendances de la mode, sans oublier un arsenal de civilités cinglantes. Et même quand ses investigations pour retrouver son incontrôlable mari la conduisent en Ecosse, le repaire des gilets les plus laids du monde, elle est prête !
Touched by an Alien (Katherine “Kitty” Katt, 1) – Gini Koch
How can a sexy marketing manager join forces with an Alpha Centauri male in Armani to save the planet-using hairspray, a Mont Blanc pen, and rock n’ roll?
Easy…
She’s Touched by an Alien
Marketing manager Katherine “Kitty” Katt steps into the middle of what appears to be a domestic dispute turned ugly. And it only gets uglier when the man turns into a winged monster, straight out of a grade-Z horror movie, and goes on a killing spree. Though Kitty should probably run away, she springs into action to take the monster down.
In the middle of the chaos a handsome hunk named Jeff Martini appears, sent by the “agency” to perform crowd control. He’s Kitty’s kind of guy, no matter what planet he’s from. And from now on, for Kitty, things are going to be sexy, dangerous, wild, and out of this world.
Comment une sexy manager en marqueting peut-elle faire équipe avec male Alpha Cantauri en Armani pour sauver la planète en utilisant un aérosol, un stylo Mont-Blanc et du Rock n’ roll ?
Facile…
Elle a été touchée par un Alien
La manager en marketing Katherine « Kitty » Katt se retrouve au milieu de ce qui semble une dispute familiale qui tourne mal. Et cela devient pire quand l’homme se transforme en montre ailé, tout droit sorti d’un film d’horreur, et prêt à tuer quiconque sur son chemin. Bien que Kitty aurait mieux fait de s’enfuir, elle s’est lancée dans l’action pour abattre le monstre.
Au milieu de ce chaos, un homme charmant appelé Jeff Martini apparait, envoyé par « l’agence » pour reprendre le contrôle. Il est tout à fait le type d’homme de Kitty, peu importe la planète d’où il vient. Et à partir de ce moment là, pour Kitty, les choses vont devenir sexy, dangereuses, folle et complètement hors de son monde.

Elodie
J’ai entendu beaucoup de bien sur la saga de Gail Carriger etj’ai hâte de savoir ce que tu penses de ce tome là. Happy reading 🙂
Rea
Ah the Parasol Protectorate! I liked the first book but after that they just didn’t do it for me. I’m a couple of chapters into the last one now but can’t summon the desire to finish it.
One of the main problems is the American humour being passed off as British humour. I know people who actually think these books are British humour but really they’re a far cry from it so I just don’t find them that funny.
Plus, no self-respecting upperclass English woman would ever call “coccinelles” ladybugs. They’re ladybirds! That’s book 3, though. Obviously I have a personal gripe with these books! haha.
Melliane
lol I think I can really see that as I’m not used to know the american and english humour. But we’ll see, it always makes me think of Amelia peabody, I love this series as well!
Melissa (My World...in words and pages)
Oh I need to get the Kitty Alien series too! 😀 I want to read it now more than ever after reading the Alexander Outland book. lol. Hope you have a great week and enjoy all your reads. 🙂
Agnieszka Nashi
Oh My, you’ve got Parasol Protectorate #2! I just finished Soulless and it was SO good. I need to read the sequel asap. 🙂
Great haul!

Mdr, je crois que nous sommes encore raccord! Il y a deux semaines, j’ai reçu l’intégralité de la série de Gini Koch! Bon, plus qu’à trouvé le temps de la commencer.
Je suis aussi fan de la série de Gail Carriger. J’ai les trois en VF mais je n’ai lu que le premier.
Melliane
wow l’intégralité? lol bon du coup je n’ai que le 1 et 2 pour le moment. Ah du coup on est à peu prés au même stade sur la série.
Zendastark
Oui des fois que je sois prise de frénésie et que je ne puisse plus décrocher! lol en plus, c’est une série finie donc pas de mauvaises surprises!
