Une vie de mensonge de Kim Harrison
Kim Harrison, la reine de l’Urban Fantasy à qui l’on doit Rachel Morgan, revient ici avec un nouveau roman de suspense psychologique où le paranormal flirte avec la folie.
Vaut-il mieux vivre une vie parfaite tissée de mensonges ou accepter une réalité si atroce qu’elle risque de vous détruire ?
Meg veut une vie normale. En dépression depuis la mort de sa mère, la jeune peintre pourrait révolutionner le monde de l’art… si seulement elle était capable de passer outre son anxiété paralysante. Encouragée par sa thérapeute, Meg sort de sa zone de confort et devient amie avec Haley.
Haley est tout ce que Meg désire être : charismatique, sûre d’elle, parfaite.
Alors quand Austin, son petit ami, exprime son inquiétude par rapport à l’emprise d’Haley sur elle, Meg se sent tirée par le bas et le quitte. Elle déclenche ainsi, sans le savoir, une série d’événements qui vont ébranler toutes ses convictions au point de ne plus savoir distinguer la réalité du mensonge.
Qui de Haley ou d’Austin lui ment ?
Kim Harrison donne vie à un monde dans lequel ce qui est réel et ce qui ne devrait pas exister se mêlent dans la folie d’un esprit troublé et désespéré.
Paperback
The Alchemist and an Amaretto by Annette Marie
As a guild bartender, I can handle pretty much anything—mages, sorcerers, witches, the occasional demon. But show me anything family-related and I’d rather run for the hills. It doesn’t even have to be my family.
So I have no idea why I thought spending the holidays with Aaron’s mom and pop was a good idea.
Meeting his famous parents is already terrifying enough, but I’ve got a bigger problem. Students of his family’s renowned mage academy are being attacked on the grounds–and somehow no one has seen a single assailant? Unexplained tracks litter the nearby woods, rumors of forbidden alchemy are circulating the campus…and Ezra has been acting strangely since we arrived.
Something deadly is brewing in the shadow of Sinclair Academy, and the longer we take to uncover it, the more dangerous it becomes. But no matter the risk, we’ll protect the students.
And Aaron’s parents too, I suppose. If we have to.
House of Hollow by Krystal Sutherland
Seventeen-year-old Iris Hollow has always been strange. Something happened to her and her two older sisters when they were children, something they can’t quite remember but that left each of them with an identical half-moon scar at the base of their throats.
Iris has spent most of her teenage years trying to avoid the weirdness that sticks to her like tar. But when her eldest sister, Grey, goes missing under suspicious circumstances, Iris learns just how weird her life can get: horned men start shadowing her, a corpse falls out of her sister’s ceiling, and ugly, impossible memories start to twist their way to the forefront of her mind.
As Iris retraces Grey’s last known footsteps and follows the increasingly bizarre trail of breadcrumbs she left behind, it becomes apparent that the only way to save her sister is to decipher the mystery of what happened to them as children.
The closer Iris gets to the truth, the closer she comes to understanding that the answer is dark and dangerous – and that Grey has been keeping a terrible secret from her for years.
