Trois mages et une Margarita de Annette Marie

Quand le bar où elle a postulé se trouve être une guilde remplie de mages arrogants, Tori comprend que sa vie a pris un tournant inattendu.

Fauchée, presque à la rue et depuis peu sans emploi : voilà les raisons pour lesquelles j’ai répondu à une annonce pour un job de serveuse dans un bar minable.

Ça a commencé à partir en cacahuète quand on m’a demandé de faire un essai ce soir-là, plutôt qu’un entretien. Un test grandeur nature, histoire de voir si j’allais bien m’entendre avec leur clientèle « spéciale ».

Une réussite, vraiment.
Leurs clients étaient de gros cons, et je ne me suis pas laissé faire. C’est bien la définition de « s’intégrer », non ?

Je m’attendais à ce qu’on me montre la porte. Mais au lieu de ça… j’ai décroché le poste ?
Ce n’est qu’après que j’ai réalisé que cet endroit n’était pas un bar. C’est une guilde. Et les trois types arrogants que j’ai arrosés de margarita pendant mon essai ? Ce. Sont. Des. Mages !

Soit je suis exactement le genre de serveuse à la langue acérée dont cette guilde a besoin, soit il y a une bonne raison si personne d’autre ne veut travailler là. Et qu’est-ce que fait une fille fauchée dans une telle situation ?
Elle accepte le boulot, bien sûr. Et avec une augmentation, s’il vous plaît !

Note : les trois mages sont assurément sexy mais cette série n’est pas un Reverse Harem. C’est un concentré d’humour et de sarcasme dans un univers d’Urban Fantasy au rythme détonant. Et si Tori n’a aucun problème à se mettre dans la m***** à chaque fois, il s’agit d’une nouvelle aventure à chaque tome : pas de fin ouverte, pas de frustration, que du plaisir !

Dark Arts and a Daiquiri by Annette Marie

When I found myself facing down the scariest black-magic felon in the city, practically daring him to abduct me, I had to wonder exactly how I ended up here.

It all started when I accidentally landed a job as a bartender–but not at a bar. At a guild, populated by mages, sorcerers, alchemists, witches, and psychics. Good thing this lame-o human is adaptable, right?

Then my favorite guild members–three sexy, powerful, and intermittently charming mages–asked for my help. Did they want access to my encyclopedic knowledge of cocktails? Oh no. They wanted to wrap me up in a pretty ribbon and plunk me in the crosshairs of a murderous rogue to lure him out of hiding.

So that’s what we did. And that’s why I’m here. About to be kidnapped. Oh, and our grand plan for safely capturing said murderous rogue? Yeah, that completely fell apart about two minutes ago.

Why did I agree to this again?

On Deck

The Jade bones by Laini Forbes

Cast into the underworld after an act of shattering betrayal, Mayana and Ahkin must overcome unimaginable odds if they are to return home and reclaim the throne of the Chicome. A river of blood and demons disguised as children are only two of the challenges standing in their way. Fortunately, they are not unequipped. Mayana’s royal blood controls the power of water, and Prince Ahkin wields the power of the sun itself. Ometeotl, the Mother goddess, provides them with other gifts—and an ominous warning that one of them may not survive. But can the goddess be trusted?

Back in the lands above, Mayana’s best friend, Yemania, has survived the empress selection ritual—but her next challenge may be more than she can bear. The new empress of the Chicome Empire demands she become High Healer. Yemania has no interest in serving in the palace; she wants to use her healing ability to help the common people. More than that, her heart is no longer her own. She has met an enchanting stranger—Ochix, one of the feared Miquitz people who are ancient enemies of the Chicome.

As Mayana and Ahkin move ever closer to confronting the lords of the dead, Yemania and Ochix must hide their forbidden romance or face the wrath of both their empires. Meanwhile, the new empress has made a dangerous alliance that might destroy everything they hold dear.

Four young people risk their lives to save the world from a looming apocalypse in this captivating sequel to The Seventh Sun. Based on ancient Mesoamerican legends and mythology, The Jade Bones is a compelling and romantic adventure that builds to a heart-stopping climax.

The Gilded Ones by Namina Forna

Sixteen-year-old Deka lives in fear and anticipation of the blood ceremony that will determine whether she will become a member of her village. Already different from everyone else because of her unnatural intuition, Deka prays for red blood so she can finally feel like she belongs.

But on the day of the ceremony, her blood runs gold, the color of impurity–and Deka knows she will face a consequence worse than death.

Then a mysterious woman comes to her with a choice: stay in the village and submit to her fate, or leave to fight for the emperor in an army of girls just like her. They are called alaki–near-immortals with rare gifts. And they are the only ones who can stop the empire’s greatest threat.

Knowing the dangers that lie ahead yet yearning for acceptance, Deka decides to leave the only life she’s ever known. But as she journeys to the capital to train for the biggest battle of her life, she will discover that the great walled city holds many surprises. Nothing and no one are quite what they seem to be–not even Deka herself.

Illuminae by Jay Kristoff & Amie Kaufman

This morning, Kady thought breaking up with Ezra was the hardest thing she’d have to do. This afternoon, her planet was invaded.

The year is 2575, and two rival mega-corporations are at war over a planet that’s little more than a speck at the edge of the universe. Now with enemy fire raining down on them, Kady and Ezra — who are barely even talking to each other—are forced to evacuate with a hostile warship in hot pursuit.

But their problems are just getting started. A plague has broken out and is mutating with terrifying results; the fleet’s AI may actually be their enemy; and nobody in charge will say what’s really going on. As Kady hacks into a web of data to find the truth, it’s clear the only person who can help her is the ex-boyfriend she swore she’d never speak to again.

Told through a fascinating dossier of hacked documents — including emails, maps, files, IMs, medical reports, interviews, and more — Illuminae is the first book in a heart-stopping trilogy about lives interrupted, the price of truth, and the courage of everyday heroes.
