Grier Woolworth passe ses nuits à parcourir les rues du centre-ville de Savannah pour conter à des touristes des histoires d’âmes perdues et autres tragédies à vous glacer le sang. Exception faite de la crinoline et de l’ombrelle, ce n’est pas le pire des boulots. Et même si le salaire est merdique, les pourboires suffisent à payer les factures d’électricité de son propre manoir hanté, et à approvisionner les placards en Ramens.

Pour une ex-assistante nécromancienne qui se cache parmi les humains, la vie est presque normale. Jusqu’au jour où la société qui a excommunié Grier lui offre une seconde chance d’être davantage qu’une fille ordinaire. Dommage qu’on n’ait pas jugé bon de la prévenir qu’être extraordinaire peut vous faire tuer.

Avertissement : Ce livre raconte l’histoire d’une ex-tôlarde/ex-héritière, qui a une perruche zombie pour animal de compagnie et dont le voisin n’est autre qu’un ex-soldat/ex-béguin. Attention, tous ces ex pourraient bien en cacher d’autres.

Son premier jour pourrait bien être notre dernier…

Au cœur du Mississippi, une enfant à moitié sauvage est tirée des eaux troubles du bayou. Elle n’a ni souvenirs, ni famille, et est couverte de mystérieuses marques.

Adoptée par le policier qui l’a sauvée, Luce Boudreau s’enrôle à sa suite dans la police, déterminée à faire ses preuves aux yeux de tous ceux qui la considèrent encore avec méfiance. Mais l’ampleur du combat qui l’attend dépasse tout ce que Luce a pu imaginer.

Elle a beau être une orpheline sans passé, personne, pas même Luce elle-même, n’est préparé à affronter la vérité sur sa sombre et puissante destinée…

Reine knows marriage isn’t about love. It’s about making the best bargain you can with what you have and then living with the consequences. Wedding vows are alliances given voice, and I do is on the tip of her tongue.

Ennis is a man on a mission to woo the future Araneidae maven, whether she wants him or not. Her clan is wealthy, prosperous and in dire need of the one thing his people have to offer—protection. But one look at her and all thought of his obligations vanish. He’ll court Reine, but he wants the feisty heiress all to himself.

Forced to entertain offers from her bevy of suitors, Reine is torn between duty to her people and loyalty to herself. Ennis is the man she wants, but is he the future paladin her fragile clan needs? She can choose to lead with her head or, for once, she can follow her heart.

Half-bloods with Thierry’s skill set are given two options. They can join the conclave’s marshal program, or they can pack their bags. Turn down the job offer, and you’ve just shredded your residency pass for the mortal realm and booked yourself a one-way ticket to Faerie.

Texas is the only home Thierry has ever known, and she’s not going anywhere. Even if it means following in her notorious father’s footsteps as a peacekeeper. But pinning on the badge opens her eyes to the fact sometimes fae need protection too, and that sometimes humans are the real monsters.

Fiach, a half-breed born of a fairy mother and demon father, discovers Cilia, a phoenix living among humans. Cilia and Fiach's lives are forever altered when, captured by demons, they are forced to escape through a bolthole into Faerie where their love is tested and their truth exposed. The truth of their eternal, burning love reveals a past neither knew nor suspected and a birthright Cilia must claim in order to save the peoples of Leilos. Their love was born of fire; can it endure the flames of destiny and rise from the ashes?

The most damaged heart can fly with the right pair of wings.

Madelyn’s life is far from fairytale perfect. She is second in line for the throne of a corrupt, brutal monarchy. Or at least she was until her dark guardian sacrificed his life to hide her safely in a realm of infinite possibilities.

For years she’s lived among a colony of escaped slaves as her guardian’s widow. Even in this simple life, though, nothing is as it seems. Her hero kept a secret—a younger brother named Clayton Delaney. Warrior, winged demon…and the man who now wants to lay claim to her heart.

No longer cast in his brother’s shadow, Clayton meets all obstacles head on, including one named Maddie. His infatuation with her reaches the breaking point when she undergoes a royal rite of passage, going into heat and pushing them both over the edge.

Just as Maddie learns that some risks are worth taking, she discovers that her guardian may be alive. And she’s forced to make a choice between the man she’d thought she loved, and the demon willing to lend her his wings.

Warning: This book contains virginal angst, a hero who’s too nice for his own good, wings, claws, and convenient use of glamour. It contains heartbreaking loss, conversation with a woodland creature, and sweet, sweet demon loving.

Camille Ellis is the Earthen Conclave’s golden girl. Her peculiar talent solves cases with a touch. She isn’t afraid of getting her hands dirty, but every bright star casts a shadow, and her deepest scars lurk just beneath the skin.

A routine consultation goes sideways when a victim’s brother gets involved in the investigation. Riding the edge of grief, the warg will go to any lengths to avenge his sister’s death. Even if it means ensuring Cam’s cooperation at the jaws of his wolf.

When the killer strikes again, Cam is caught between a warg and a hard place. To save the next victim, she must embrace her past. Even if it means dragging her darkest secrets into the light of day.

War is a constant threat on Dell Preston’s horizon. As beta of the Lorimar pack, her job is to maintain the peace on the new border between Faerie and Earth at all costs. Even if that means playing nice with her ex, Isaac, the fae who savaged her wolf’s soul, and Enzo Garza, the flirty witch who ought to be focused on building up their magical defenses instead of tearing down the walls around Dell’s heart.

Butler, Tennessee is a pinprick on the map with a diverse population of supernaturals. It’s also chockful of humans who are unaware of the magical rift bruising the sky or the otherworldly insurgents raining down into their zip code.

A local fae’s disappearance catches Dell’s attention, but she dismisses it as an isolated event. Until it happens again. Unable to ignore the strange happenings in her town, she begins an investigation that uncovers so much more than a simple rash of kidnappings.

Now Dell finds herself at the sharp end of a pointed ultimatum. Find the missing and return them to their families or get ready for prime time. Botch this job, and forget coming soon. The war will become tomorrow’s featured attraction instead.

Hadley Whitaker is a liar, a killer, and a chocoholic, but she’s getting better about the first two. Or maybe she’s just getting better at them.

Some days it’s hard for her to tell fact from fiction, but only one truth matters. Goddess willing, she’s going to be the next Potentate of Atlanta. Even if it means playing nice with Midas Kinase, a shifter whose mysterious past might just be grimmer than her own.

When a bloodthirsty rogue begins hunting the city’s paranormals, Hadley ropes Midas into letting her work the case. But that rope starts to feel more like a noose as they come closer to discovering not only the rogue’s identity, but each other’s darkest secrets.

Since the accident that nearly took her life, Chloe suffers from acute agoraphobia. Living alone above her family's bookstore, she spends restless nights terrified by strange visions . . . until a mysterious stranger appears and offers her salvation. Chloe is drawn to the ethereal, gorgeous Nathaniel-but her haunted soul warns her there is more to him than meets the eye.

An archangel who roams Earth collecting souls of the newly departed, Nathaniel is the sole witness to the accident that should have taken Chloe's life. Seduced by the purity of her soul, he defies Providence by saving her life. But his attempt at kindness marks Chloe for damnation, and makes her an unwitting pawn in a game of unholy ambition. Now together they must fight the demons of Hell itself-for a love that defies the boundaries of Heaven and Earth.

"4 STARS. Edwards mines the world of fallen angels for her new Wicked Kin series, beginning with Soul Weaver, a rich romance you'll loose yourself in..this race-against-time romance between a bookseller, who suffers from agoraphobia after a life-threatening accident, and the man she has no idea is a fallen angel will have hearts melting. Edwards is off to an excellent start with this series." -- RT Book Reviews

Remember that old line about how the only way out of the organization is in a pine box?

Well, Rue Hollis spent 10 years thinking she had escaped the Black Hat Bureau, no coffin required.

Then her former partner had to go and shatter the illusion by showing up on her doorstep with grim tidings. As much as Rue wants to kick him to the curb, she agrees to hear him out for old times' sake, and what he says chills her to the bone.

The Silver Stag was the most notorious paranormal serial killer in modern history, and Rue brought him down. Now a copycat has picked up where the Stag left off, and the Bureau wants her on the case. She beat the Stag once. They think she can do it again. But they don't know she's given up black magic, and she's not about to tell them. White witches are prey, and Rue is the hunter, not the hunted. Always.

But can she take down the protege of the man who almost beat her at her black witch best?

If she wants to keep her new town, her new home, her new life, then she has no choice but to find out.

Danger. Mauvais. Mort. Les héros peuvent tout affronter, mais ils ne peuvent pas le faire seuls.
