Stacking The Shelves is a meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews .
Cette semaine, j'ai encore eu quelques livres, la plupart en anglais cette fois encore. Il faut absolument que je lise plus vite.
This week, I got quite a few books, mostly in english once again. I need to read more quickly now!
Démons personnels, Megan Chase #1, Stacia Kane
« Chers auditeurs, je suis Megan Chase, psychologue. Je vais vous aider à chasser vos démons intimes.”
Jamais je n’aurais pensé en prononçant ces mots sur les ondes que j’allais être prise au sérieux. Sauf que les démons intimes existent bel et bien…
Manque de bol, je suis apparemment la seule humaine à ne pas en avoir un niché au creux de l’épaule. Ce qui fait de moi une arme fatale pour certains, et un objet de convoitise pour d’autres.
Comment devenir en une phrase la cible d’un conflit vieux comme le monde ? Demandez-moi, je vous expliquerai ! »

Touch of The Demon, Kara Gillian #5, Diana Rowland
Kara Gillian is in some seriously deep trouble.
She’s used to summoning supernatural creatures from the demon realm to our world, but now the tables have been turned and she’s the one who’s been summoned. Kara is the prisoner of yet another demonic lord, but she quickly discovers that she’s far more than a mere hostage. Yet waiting for rescue has never been her style, and Kara has no intention of being a pawn in someone else’s game.
There’s intrigue to spare as she digs into the origin of the demonic lords and discovers the machinations of humans and demons alike. Kara is shocked to discover that she has her own history in the demon realm, and that the ties between her and the demonic lords Rhyzkahl and Szerain go back farther than she could have ever imagined. But treachery runs rampant among all the lords, and she’s going to have to stay sharp in order to keep from being used to further their own agendas. The lords have a secret that dates back to earth’s ancient history, and it could have devastating repercussions for both worlds.
Yet more than anything else, Kara’s abilities as a homicide detective will be put to the test—because this time the murder she has to solve is her own.

Alpha One, Shadow Agents #1, Cynthia Eden
"Julie's missing. You have to get her back."The
minute he got the message, undercover agent Logan Quinn sprang into
action. Getting Juliana James out of Mexico alive was the Elite Ops
covert agent's only priority. But once the senator's daughter was safely
back in their Mississippi hometown, Logan had a new mission: to get
another chance with the woman he couldn't lose again.
Juliana had never forgotten the day, ten years ago, when Logan left her heart in pieces. Now he was back in her life, sworn to protect her from the ruthless weapons dealer who wanted her dead. As passion blindsided her—and she was once again thrust into danger—Julie realized how much she'd risk for one more day in Logan's arms.

Sealed with a Curse, Weird Girls #1, Cecy Robson
Celia Wird and
her three sisters are just like other twenty-something girls—with one
tiny exception: They're the products of a curse that backfired and gave
each of them unique powers that make them, well, a little weird…
The Wird sisters are content to avoid the local vampires, werebeasts, and witches of the Lake Tahoe region—until one of them blows up a vampire in self-defense. Everyone knows vampires aren't aggressive, and killing one is punishable by death. But soon more bloodlust-fueled attacks occur, and the community wonders if the vampires of Tahoe are plague-ridden.
Celia reluctantly agrees to help Misha, the handsome leader of an infected vampire family. But Aric, the head of the werewolf pack determined to destroy Misha's family to keep the area safe, warns Celia to stay out of the fight. Caught between two hot alphas, Celia must find a way to please everyone, save everyone, and—oh, yeah—not lose her heart to the wrong guy or die a miserable death. Because now that the evil behind the plague knows who Celia is, he's coming for her and her sisters.
This Wird girl has never had it so tough.

Since the beginning of
time, the archangels have longed to know true love. When four female
angels were created for the four archangels, Michael, Gabriel, Uriel,
and Azrael, a chaos spurred by jealousy erupted, and the archesses were
secreted away to Earth. The four favored archangels followed, prompting a
search that has lasted millennia.
As the Angel of Death, Azrael could never be like his brothers. While the others fell to Earth in human form, Azrael descended as a vampire. Today, as the lead singer of a popular rock band, he keeps his true nature hidden--a powerful darkness constantly at odds with his angelic self. Beneath his mask, Azrael holds onto the hope that he will one day find the archess who will complete him.
At his brother Gabriel's wedding, Azrael set his golden eyes on Sophie Bryce, the maid of honor. He is certain she is his destined mate, and will do anything to make her his. But Sophie is unaware of her archess identity, and is haunted by unspeakable demons of her own.
When supernatural forces emerge from the shadows, threatening Sophie, Azrael is the only one who can protect her. But to do it, he must reveal his true, savage self.
