Call the Underworld Detection Agency.
As a human immune to magic, Sophie Lawson can help everyone from banshee to zombie transition into normal, everyday San Francisco life. With a handsome werewolf as her UDA boss and a fashionista vampire for a roommate, Sophie knows everything there is to know about the undead, the unseen, and the uncanny. . .
Until a rash of gruesome murders has demons and mortals running for cover, and Sophie finds herself playing sidekick to detective Parker Hayes. Dodging raging bloodsuckers, bad-tempered fairies, and love-struck trolls is one thing. But when Sophie discovers Parker isn’t what he seems, she’s got only one chance to figure out whom to trust. Because an evil hiding in plain sight is closing in. . .and about to make one wisecracking human its means to ultimate power. . .
When the dead need to talk, Alex Craft is always ready to listen…
As a Grave Witch, Alex solves murders by raising the dead—an ability that comes at a cost, and after her last few cases, that cost is compounding. But her magic isn’t the only thing causing havoc in her life. While she’s always been on friendly terms with Death himself, things have recently become a whole lot more close and personal. Then there’s her sometime partner, agent Falin Andrews, who is under the glamour of the Winter Queen. To top everything off, her best friend has been forever changed by her time spent captive in Faerie.
But the personal takes a backseat to the professional when a mysterious suicide occurs in Nekros City and Alex is hired to investigate. The shade she raises has no memory of the days leading up to his brutal ending, so despite the very public apparent suicide, this is murder. But what kind of magic can overcome the human will to survive? And why does the shade lack the memory of his death? Searching for the answer might mean Alex won’t have a life to remember at all…
La Compagne de l’Archange (Guild hunter, 3) – Nalini Singh
Nalini Singh steps back into the shadows of her “heartbreakingly original”* world where angels rule, vampires serve, and the innocent can pay the greatest price of all…
Vampire hunter Elena Deveraux and her lover, the lethally beautiful archangel Raphael, have returned home to New York only to face an uncompromising new evil…
A vampire has attacked a girls’ school—the assault one of sheer, vicious madness—and it is only the first act. Rampant bloodlust takes vampire after vampire, threatening to make the streets run with blood. Then Raphael himself begins to show signs of an uncontrolled rage, as inexplicable storms darken the city skyline and the earth itself shudders.
The omens are suddenly terrifyingly clear.
An ancient and malevolent immortal is rising. The violent winds whisper her name: Caliane. She has returned to reclaim her son, Raphael. Only one thing stands in her way: Elena, the consort who must be destroyed…
Blood Before Sunrise (Shaede Assassin, 2) – Amanda Bonilla
“She needed a bargaining chip and this was it. Raif’s daughter’s life for hers. And he knew damn good and well I was right. Just like he’d assured me the night I’d killed Azriel, this was far from over. His daughter was alive, I knew it. And I was going to find her.”
For months Darian and her Shaede guardian Raif have searched for the Oracle who attempted to overthrow the Shaede Nation—and kill Darian in the bargain. But now that they’ve finally found the half-crazed Oracle, for their efforts they are granted a possibility too painful for Raif to imagine, and too enticing for Darian to ignore.
Darian is determined to reunite Raif and the daughter he thought was dead, but her mission quickly proves dangerous when her lover Tyler is almost killed. And when a brooding and mysterious Fae warrior offers his guidance—at an extraordinary price—Darian finds herself willing to risk everything. As her single-minded hunt turns into an obsession, and she and Tyler grow further apart, Darian finds herself caught between the man she loves like a brother, and the man whose love she can’t live without…
Depuis des mois, Darian et son gardien le Shaede Raif, recherchent l’Oracle qui a tenté de renverser la Nation Shaede – et de tuer Darian par la même occasion. Mais maintenant qu’ils ont finalement trouvés l’Oracle à moitié folle, leurs efforts sont récompensés par une proposition trop difficile pour Raif et trop alléchante pour que Darian l’ignore.

I would love to get my hands on Grave Memory! Under Wraps looks great – it’s on my kindle at the moment, I really have to figure out when I can read it! 🙂

Je ne connaissais pas Alex Craft mais ça m’a l’air vraiment bien ! Chasseuse de vampires tome 1 est dans ma PAL d’ailleurs il faudrait que je m’y plonge rapidement ! Bon dimanche et Happy Reading =)
Melliane
Alex Craft va sortir chez j’ai lu en Octobre le premier. Lol moi j’ai le 2 dans ma PAL et j’ai le 3 et 4 aussi. Wouhouh! Merci!!!
Mirage
Beaucoup de livre en anglais que je ne connais pas, mais les couvertures sont toutes très belles (surtout Grave Memory) !
Il faudrait que je me mette à Chasseuse de Vampire mais apparemment, le tome 3 est vraiment décevant. J’attendrais ton avis. 🙂
Melliane
Ils ont apparement gardé les couverture VO pour les français de Alex Craft. Donc je suis contente lol. Oui c’est ce qu’on m’a dit aussi… du coup j’avance peu dans la série lol.
Mirjam
Great books! Hannah Jayne is completely new to me, but I really like the sound of Under Wraps. I can’t wait to find out what you think of it! I enjoyed Grave Witch by Kalayne Price and really need to order book 2 soon, as well as finally read book one by Amanda Bonilla, which I already have, but just haven’t been in the mood for yet. Happy reading!
Sakinia
J’aime beaucoup les couvertures 🙂

Bonne lecture! 😉
Melliane
en fait il était en occase mais j’ai le 4 en VO. c’est pas dans mes séries urgentes à lire je dois dire… AAH tu as acheté la suite sans commencé le premier? J’ai du vraiment te motiver avec le 1 lol. Ah moi je suis pas aussi patiente Alex Craft. J’aime trop pour attendre, puis j’ai deja en VO les autres.
Sarah@Catching Books

leslecturesdesab
Wow, tu m’as bien donné envie avec le premier! J’ai le 2 dans ma PAL ebook, il vient de remonter de quelques crans ^^ Par contre chasseuse de vampires, je me tâte, je pense les lire en VO parce que je me demande si c’est la traductrice ou l’auteure qui a un style si brouillon…
Melliane
oui c’est juste que j’avais le 1 et 2 en français alors comme je suis tombée dessus en occase je l’ai pris, mais j’ai le 4 en anglais. lol je fais des mix. Oui je suis assez curieuse du premier, et j’adore Alex Craft alors je suis curieuse de voir ce que donnera celui ci. On verra, il ne fera pas long feu lol.
Melissa (My World...in words and pages)
Oh some really great books you got! 🙂 Hope you enjoy them and have a great week.

J’ai vu ton commentaire chez Zina, alors je suis venue voir tes chroniques… Tu es en avance sur les sorties, VO oblige…je vais tenter le tome 1.
Melliane
je trouve ça toujours drole quand les livres que je lis sortent ensuite en français. Il faut que je poste mon avis du kalayna price 3 mais j’ai tellement d’avis à poster… J’espere qu’il te plaira, je surveillerais ton avis.
