Par J. C Cervantes. 2023
Best-selling author Rick Riordan presents the breathtaking finale to J. C. Cervantes's Maya-inspired Shadow Bruja duology, in which Ren makes…
a bargain for her life. Shadow bruja Ren Santiago was relentlessly pursued by the evil Aztec Lords of Night, who claimed that she was destined to be their queen, a destiny she wasn't willing to accept. So she chose death instead. Too bad death wasn't the answer to her problems. Ren soon realizes she must return to the land of the living to make things right. Unfortunately, that means negotiating with Ixtab, queen of the underworld. Ixtab offers her ten days aboveground in exchange for the discarded crown of jade and shadow. If Ren fails, she will return to the darkness for eternity. Ren agrees, knowing full well that she also has to save her friends Marco, Monty, and Edison and, while she's at it, put those pesky Lords of Night back to sleep forever. The only problem is, Ren lost her shadow magic and time rope when she lost her life. How will Ren manage to accomplish what feels impossible? The answer lies not in manipulating shadows or time, but in recognizing the awesome power that has always been inside her. J. C. Cervantes's trademark humor, incredibly high stakes, fascinating characters, and shocking plot twists are on full display in this epic conclusion of an unputdownable duologyPar Charlaine Harris. 2011
"Depuis que jai été frappée par la foudre, à 15 ans, je suis dotée de capacités hors du commun. Et…
ce nest pas rien ! Je détecte les morts et je peux dire ce qui les a tués mais pas qui les a tués, quand ils ont été assassinés." Harper Connelly a fait de ce don étrange son gagne-pain. Engagée pour retrouver le corps de personnes disparues, elle sillonne les États-Unis avec Tolliver, son demi-frère, manager et protecteur. À Sarne, en Arkansas, où une adolescente est recherchée, Harper sait presque immédiatement que la jeune fille est décédée. Mais le mystère de sa mort comme les secrets de la ville sont bien protégés par la méfiance hostile des habitants." -- 4e de couvPar Sarah Waters. 2010
Hundreds Hall n'est plus que l'ombre de lui-même; depuis longtemps les glaces ternies ont cessé de refléter ces fêtes qui…
animaient le manoir au temps de sa splendeur. Victime elle aussi des ravages de la Seconde Guerre mondiale et des tensions qui déchirent le tissu social de l'Angleterre, la famille Ayres, qui habite Hundreds depuis des générations, est abandonnée à son triste sort. Malgré la débâcle, la mère tente de cacher son infortune tandis que le fils, blessé au combat, peine à assurer la relève, aidé par sa soeur, Caroline, une femme vive et indépendante. Venu un jour s'occuper d'une domestique souffrante, le docteur Faraday, qui a connu enfant la belle époque du manoir, se lie bientôt d'amitié avec la famille. Il sera avec elle témoin d'une succession d'événements de plus en plus effrayants. Se peut-il que les Ayres, hantés par les souvenirs d'une vie révolue, soient aussi tourmentés par une autre présence rôdant dans les corridors de Hundreds Hall? -- 4e de couvPar Kurt Vonnegut. 1971
"Abattoir 5 retrace lhistoire de Billy Pélerin (double quasi autobiographique de Kurt Vonnegut), né à Ilium en 1922, fils unique…
du coiffeur de la petite ville. Appelé sous les drapeaux pendant la seconde guerre mondiale (comme assistant daumonier militaire...), il est capturé par les allemands et fait prisonnier dans un camp à Dresde. Démobilisé en 1945, il devient opticien, passe une petite dépression nerveuse dans un hôpital militaire, puis se marie, a bientôt deux enfants et fait fortune. De retour dun congrès dopticien il est victime dun accident davion, tous les passagers périssent sauf lui. Pendant quil est à la clinique, sa femme meurt. Il ne reprend pas son activité en sortant de lhôpital mais va tout droit à New York. Là, il participe à une émission de radio où il révèle avoir été enlevé par une soucoupe volante en 1967 et amené de force sur la planète Tralfamadore. Objet de spectacle, montré nu dans un zoo, les trafalmadoriens le feront saccoupler avec une terrienne, ancienne actrice de cinéma, elle-même kidnapée, avant de le relâcher. De retour sur terre, il comprend que les années quil a passé sur Trafalmadore nont été chez lui que quelques secondes. Bien sûr, Billy ayant atteint lâge de quatre-vingt six ans, tout le monde est persuadé quil a définitivement perdu le sens des réalités et que la sénilité avance à grands pas. Mais Billy insiste pour remonter dans le passé et raconter son histoire, notamment sa vie de soldat et, ce faisant, il ne va plus cesser alors deffectuer des sauts dans le temps, évoluant et vieillissant, ou régressant vers son enfance. Ce sont ces différents épisodes, et principalement celui de la seconde guerre, de lemprisonnement et du bombardement de Dresde qui font la trame quelque peu décousue, ironique et pleine dhumour de ce roman étonnant où les saynètes se multiplient et senchevêtrent..." -- 4e de couvPar Lincoln Child. 2015
A LONG-LOST EXPERIMENT OF UNGUESSABLE INTENT A SECRET ROOM, INGENIOUSLY HIDDEN INSIDE A VAST SEACOAST MANSION NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING…
AUTHOR LINCOLN CHILD AT HIS RIVETING BEST Professor Jeremy Logan (the quirky and charismatic "enigmalogist" who specializes in solving problems of the strange or seemingly supernatural variety) receives an urgent summons from the director of Lux, one of the oldest and most respected think tanks in America. An unexplainable tragedy has taken place in the sprawling compound located on the coastline of Newport, Rhode Island. One of Lux’s most distinguished doctors, overcome by erratic behavior, violently attacked his assistant before meeting with a gruesome self-inflflflffllflicted end. Deeply shaken by the incident and the bizarre evidence left behind from the doctor’s final project—as well as recent troubling behavior among several of the think tank’s other scientists—Lux fears there is something more sinister occurring within its walls and looks to Jeremy Logan to investigate. Logan quickly makes a surprising discovery. In a long-dormant wing of the estate, he uncovers an ingeniously hidden secret room, unknown and untouched for decades. The room is essentially a time capsule, fiffiilled with eerie machinery and obscure references to a top-secret experiment known as "Project S." As Logan attempts to unravel its meaning, he begins to discern what transpired in that room—and why the frightening project was suddenly abandoned and sealed off many years before. As his work draws him ever deeper into harm’s way, Logan soon unleashes a series of catastrophic events upon the rest of Lux . . . and himself. One of Lincoln Child’s most thrilling novels to date, The Forgotten Room is replete with exhilarating action, veiled history, and mesmerizing science—making for a truly intelligent page-turnerPar Esme Symes-Smith. 2022

of their kingdom. A thrilling middle-grade series opener that explores identity and gender amid sword fights and magic, and proves anyone can be a hero. "These heroes come in all shapes and skills—I cheered for them throughout their exciting journey." —#1 New York Times bestselling author Tamora Pierce When their ex-hero dad is summoned back to the royal capital of Helston to train a hopeless crown prince, Callie lunges at the opportunity to finally prove themself worthy to the kingdom’s "great and powerful." Except the intolerant great and powerful look at nonbinary Callie and only see girl . But Callie has always known exactly what they want to be, and they’re not about to let anything stand in their way. Trapped in Helston’s rigid hierarchy where girls learn magic and boys train as knights, Callie discovers they aren’t alone—there’s Elowen, the chancellor’s brilliant daughter, whose unparalleled power is being stifled; Edwyn, Elowen’s twin brother desperate to win his father’s approval; and Willow, the crown prince who was never meant to be king. In this start to an epic series packed with action, humor, and heart, Callie and their new friends quickly find themselves embedded in an ancient war—and their only hope to defeat the threats outside the kingdom lies in first defeating the bigotry within.
