By Jill Shalvis. 2024
New York Times bestselling author Jill Shalvis returns to Sunrise Cove with a heartwarming story about the choices we make…
and the love we let into our lives... Luna Wright is a lot of things, but sweet and trusting isn't on the list. However, she's a sucker for the underdog and a hard-luck story. Adopted at birth, with scant knowledge of her biological family, she's created her own inner circle, a motley crew which includes her bestie Willow, to help her run the struggling but charming Apple Ridge Farm. With a farm-to-table café as well as a menagerie of rescued animals (complete with a baby goat who keeps escaping to the pantry to eat the secret stash of decidedly not organic potato chips), it's the best home she's ever known. But when the owner Silas, who they secretly call The Grinch, passes away, Luna discovers the farm is now under control of his investment manager, the enigmatic Jameson Hayes....and her. And that Silas had many, many secrets. Now Luna's carefully controlled corner of the world is threatened and she—along with some help from her friends—has to dig deep to find true strength and the real meaning of love and familyLes visiteurs

Terre : Tokyo, Paris, Shangaï. Ils venaient d'une lointaine planète aux ressources presques épuisées. Et que demandaient-ils, ces étranges extraterrestres capables de revêtir l'apparence humaine, en échange de leurs extraordinaires connaissances en matière de science et de technologie ? Rien, ou si peu de chose : une petite, toute petite, partie des richesses naturelles de la Terre. Ils étaient venus pour une mission de paix... et l'humanité les avait crus. Jusqu'au moment où ils commencèrent à se multiplier, à se muer en une armée d'envahisseurs. Jusqu'au moment où les hommes, les femmes, les enfants de la planète Terre commencèrent à disparaître... par millions. Jusqu'au moment où l'effrayante réalité que dissimulait leur mission pacifique — un règne de terreur comparable, à l'échelle mondiale, à celui qu'avait connu l'Allemagne d'Hitler — apparut aux yeux des survivants, les laissants seuls face à cette simple alternative : resister ou disparaitre. Ce roman est tiré du scénario d'une série télévisée qui, dans tous les pays où elle a été diffusée, a connu un retentissement considérable. Dernier en date : l'Italie, où les Visiteurs a pulvérisé tous les indices d'écoute.Malpertuis: histoire d'une maison fantastique (Espace nord #88)
By Jean Ray. 1993
Dans sa chambre de Malpertuis, oncle Cassave va mourir et il le sait... Alors il convoque tous les siens et…
promet à chacun une rente mirifique à condition qu'ils viennent vivre ensemble, ici, dans sa chère vieille maison. Aucun de ces sages petits-bourgeois du XIXe siècle finissant ne se doute qu'un terrible huis clos commence, que des forces d'une violence inouïe vont se déchaîner en eux, que, jaillissant des greniers, des meubles, des murs mêmes de Malpertuis, des monstres vont apparaître... Et qui devinerait qu'oncle Cassave avait à sa mort plus de deux cent ans et qu'en 1630 un certain Quentin Moretus Cassave, savant à demi fou, cherchait à s'emparer de l'énergie non encore éteinte des dieux de l'Olympe ?La plage des songes et autres récits d'exil
By Stanley Péan. 1998
Publiée initialement en 1988, La plage des songes révèle les fondations d’un univers sur lesquelles Stanley Péan a su construire…
une œuvre solide. Si l’écrivain a bien évidemment évolué au fil de ses trente-cinq ans d’écriture, soulignons qu’il écrivait déjà magnifiquement. Les protagonistes de ce recueil de nouvelles sont tour à tour happés par leurs souvenirs, idéalisés ou cauchemardesques, de cette Haïti qu’ils traînent dans leur exil, telle une carapace de tortue. Oscillant entre tendresse et humour noir, entre compassion et terreur, La plage des songes retrace les itinéraires singuliers de ces personnages livrés aux caprices de forces surnaturelles et nous fait découvrir un autre visage du Québec contemporain. Un livre fondateur pour l’écrivain aujourd’hui célébré.Révélation

Enter at your own risk-and discover the greatest show unearthed in this explosive, darkly imaginative debut fantasy ... For humans,…
the circus is a place filled with wonder and amazement. For Harrow, though, it's a place to hide from those who slaughtered her entire clan. Disguising her abilities as part of her act has kept her true identity safe for years. Until he arrives. A strange new attraction with no name, no memory of who-or even what-he is, let alone an explanation for his odd yet deadly powers. But beneath the layers of anger and isolation, one glimpse into his inky eyes reveals a soul that calls out to the loneliness in her own. And so she chooses him. Harrow is drawn to the darkness, to her insatiable need to soothe the beast who threatens their very existence. But with every secret she unlocks from his past, another from hers whispers free as well-luring enemies who will stop at nothing to get their final revenge on Harrow. And she's afraid she's given them the perfect weapon against her ... because he's not what he seems. But maybe it's time they finally learn-neither is sheValley verified

After a string of unpaid internships, she’s now a fashion columnist at Chic , lives in a quaint apartment in Manhattan, and gets invited to exclusive industry events. But life in New York City isn’t as chic as Zoe imagined. Her editor wants her to censor her opinions to please the big brands; she shares her “quaint” (read: small) apartment with three roommates who never let her store kimchi in the fridge; and how is she supposed to afford the designer clothes expected for those parties on her meager salary? Then one day, Zoe receives a job offer at FitPick, an app startup based in Silicon Valley. The tech salary and office perks are sweet, but moving across the country and switching to a totally new industry? Not so much. However, with her current career at a dead end, Zoe accepts the offer and swaps high fashion for high tech, haute couture for HTML. But she soon realizes that in an industry claiming to change the world for the better, not everyone’s intentions are pure. With an eight-figure investment on the line, Zoe must find a way to revamp FitPick's image despite Silicon Valley’s elitism and her icy colleagues.

By David Weber. 2024
In a universe teeming with predators, humanity needs friends. And fast. We've come a long way in the forty years…
since the Shongairi attacked Earth, killed half its people, and then were driven away by an alliance of humans with the other sentient bipeds who inhabit our planet. We took the technology they left behind, and rapidly built ourselves into a starfaring civilization. Because we haven't got a moment to lose. Because it's clear that there are even more powerful, more hostile aliens out there, and Earth needs allies. But it also transpires that the Shongairi expedition that nearly destroyed our home planet ... wasn't an official one. That, indeed, its commander may have been acting as an unwitting cats-paw for the Founders, the ancient alliance of very old, very evil aliens who run the Hegemony that dominates our galaxy, and who hold the Shongairi, as they hold most non-Founder species, in not-so-benign contempt. Indeed, it may turn out to be possible to turn the Shongairi into our allies against the Hegemony. There's just the small matter of the Shongairi honor code, which makes bushido look like a child's game. We might be able to make them our friends — if we can crush their planetary defenses in the greatest battle we, or they, have ever seen.

As Reiff's mind and body gradually recover, he becomes certain that the doctors are lying to him. One-by-one, puzzle pieces are slowly falling into place, and he soon realizes that things are not at all what they seem. Critical information is being kept from him. Secrets.

skint broke. If she wants to ensure the survival of her aged grandmother and younger siblings, she'll need to leverage the only thing they have left-their good name-and land herself a rich husband. There's only one problem: she has no bloody idea what she's doing. Enlisting the help of the wickedy rakish Marquis of Basingstone, Eleanor embarks on a crash course in how to attract the monstrous Gentry, high society courtship, and lessons in lovemaking . . . academically, of course. Lord Silas Stride, the Marquis of Basingstone, has no intention of giving away his heart.

But Silas did not count on one Eleanor Eastwick. She had shone like a star when he knew her years earlier, and she did once again in his study, leaving him unable to deny his assistance. He could not possibly risk his heart on a delicate flower of the daytime, but a lady who was used to a life after dark . . .
