Finished Last Week

Hot Decibel de Jamie Shaw

Brisée par une rupture amoureuse, Dee est déterminée à ne pas s’attacher à Joel, le guitariste du groupe The Last Ones, avec qui elle entretient une relation. Mais elle supporte de moins en moins que les autres filles lui tournent autour pendant les concerts et décide de le rendre jaloux.

 

 

 

 

 

Cool Pulsations de Jamie Shaw

Kit n’y croit pas ! Elle vient de décrocher la place tant convoitée de guitariste rythmique dans le groupe des Last Ones! Une chance comme il ne s’en présente qu’une dans la vie d’une jeune musicienne passionnée comme elle. Pourtant, ses émotions sont partagées : elle sait qu’elle est au seuil d’une décision qui peut faire son bonheur, bien sûr, ou bien gâcher toute sa vie. Car jouer dans le groupe va impliquer de répéter avec Shawn, composer avec lui et, le plus difficile, partir en tournée avec lui. Autrement dit, le voir chaque jour sans qu’il découvre le secret qui a mené Kit jusqu’à lui : six ans plus tôt, ils ont passé ensemble une nuit torride. Il n’a pas l’air de s’en souvenir. Mais elle n’a jamais pu oublier…

 

Final Shaw de Jamie Shaw

Sur scène, Mike est à tout le monde et surtout à toutes les filles. Une fois, il a été vraiment amoureux, d’un genre de princesse nommée Danica. Mais elle l’a traité comme un loser et s’est moqué de ses rêves de musique. Maintenant qu’il est le batteur d’un groupe de rock en pleine ascension, elle est de retour, prête à tout pour l’attirer dans son lit. Pas question pour lui de retomber dans le piège! C’est plutôt Hailey qui l’intrigue, une fille réservée, mystérieuse. Hailey n’a qu’un défaut : elle est la cousine de Danica. Et on peut faire confiance à celle-ci pour sortir ses griffes si Mike persiste à l’ignorer…

 

 

Nomen Omen de Marco B. Bucci & Jacopo Camagni

Dans le monde de Nomen Omen, il est plus important de voir avec son coeur qu’avec ses yeux. Becky, Rebecca Kumar de son vrai nom, est une jeune New-Yorkaise plutôt dégourdie et geek qui a deux mères attentionnées et deux chiens. Elle est atteinte d’achromatopsie, ce qui signifie qu’elle est incapable de voir les couleurs. Mais cela ne l’empêche pas de poster des photos sur son compte Instagram _nomen.omen_. La nuit de son vingt et unième anniversaire, entourée de ses amis, la jeune femme découvre bien malgré elle que le monde est plus vaste qu’elle ne l’avait jamais imaginé…

Aurora Burning by Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff

Our heroes are back… kind of. From the bestselling co-authors of the Illuminae Files comes the second book in the epic series about a squad of misfits, losers, and discipline cases who just might be the galaxy’s best hope for survival.

First, the bad news: an ancient evil—you know, your standard consume-all-life-in-the-galaxy deal—is about to be unleashed. The good news? Squad 312 is standing by to save the day. They’ve just got to take care of a few small distractions first.

Like the clan of gremps who’d like to rearrange their favorite faces.

And the cadre of illegit GIA agents with creepy flowers where their eyes used to be, who’ll stop at nothing to get their hands on Auri.

Then there’s Kal’s long-lost sister, who’s not exactly happy to see her baby brother, and has a Syldrathi army at her back. With half the known galaxy on their tails, Squad 312 has never felt so wanted.

When they learn the Hadfield has been found, it’s time to come out of hiding. Two centuries ago, the colony ship vanished, leaving Auri as its sole survivor. Now, its black box might be what saves them. But time is short, and if Auri can’t learn to master her powers as a Trigger, the squad and all their admirers are going to be deader than the Great Ultrasaur of Abraaxis IV.

Shocking revelations, bank heists, mysterious gifts, inappropriately tight bodysuits, and an epic firefight will determine the fate of the Aurora Legion’s most unforgettable heroes—and maybe the rest of the galaxy as well.

On Deck

Set Fire to the gods by Sara Raasch & Kristen Simmons

Ash is descended from a long line of gladiators, and she knows the brutal nature of war firsthand. But after her mother dies in an arena, she vows to avenge her by overthrowing her fire god, whose temper has stripped her country of its resources.

Madoc grew up fighting on the streets to pay his family’s taxes. But he hides a dangerous secret: he doesn’t have the earth god’s powers like his opponents. His elemental gift is something else—something that hasn’t been seen in centuries.

When an attempted revenge plot goes dangerously wrong, Ash inadvertently throws the fire and earth gods into a conflict that can only be settled by deadly, lavish gladiator games. The fights put Madoc in Ash’s path, and she realizes that his powers are the weapon her rebellion needs—but Madoc won’t jeopardize his family, regardless of how intrigued he is by the beautiful warrior.

But when the gods force Madoc’s hand, he and Ash uncover an ancient war that will threaten more than one immortal—it will unravel the world.

 

A song of Wraiths and Ruin by Roseanne A. Brown

The first in an fantasy duology inspired by West African folklore in which a grieving crown princess and a desperate refugee find themselves on a collision course to murder each other despite their growing attraction.

For Malik, the Solstasia festival is a chance to escape his war-stricken home and start a new life with his sisters in the prosperous desert city of Ziran. But when a vengeful spirit abducts Malik’s younger sister, Nadia, as payment into the city, Malik strikes a fatal deal—kill Karina, Crown Princess of Ziran, for Nadia’s freedom.

But Karina has deadly aspirations of her own. Her mother, the Sultana, has been assassinated; her court threatens mutiny; and Solstasia looms like a knife over her neck. Grief-stricken, Karina decides to resurrect her mother through ancient magic . . . requiring the beating heart of a king. And she knows just how to obtain one: by offering her hand in marriage to the victor of the Solstasia competition.

When Malik rigs his way into the contest, they are set on a course to destroy each other. But as attraction flares between them and ancient evils stir, will they be able to see their tasks to the death?

Alien Minds by Christina Bauer

“The layers of the dimension created pulls you in and lures you further … a thrilling adventure!” – The Book Junkie

On my seventeenth birthday, I wake up in the hospital to find I just survived a sketchy-but-terrible accident. My perfect-looking parents say I live an ideal life inside the Boston dome. And although my swoon-worthy guard, Thorne, looks totally familiar, he says we don’t have a history.

What a bunch of crap.

I don’t remember anything—not even my real name—but I can still tell when someone’s lying. From what I figure out, my dystopian overlords wiped my memory, leaving only my super science skills behind. Now, instead of expecting me to scream for revenge, the government demands that I build new tech that will launch an apocalypse against anyone who isn’t perfect.

So I nod. Say yes. And scheme to blow the whole thing up.

My memory may be gone, but my sass remains intact. I round up a team of teenage scientists to take down the nasty-ass government without getting ourselves killed. Only trouble is, I must accomplish all this while avoiding my growing attraction to Thorne, who may or may not be an alien. Something tells me that protecting my heart from my hottie guard might be the most dangerous adventure of all …

‘A beautifully crafted, multilayered story with a gripping adventure at its heart’ Melvin Burgess

Tom and Augusta are from different places and different times, but they meet in the virtual world to combine forces in battle, to save a kingdom, escape a web of deceit and to find love. In a place where fictions can be truths and truths fictions, learning who to trust is more than friendship, it is about about survival.
