Déferlement de Cupcakes: Delilah Horton, tome 2 (Série Cupcakes #2)
by Bethany LopezUn soir, alors que j'étais de sortie avec mes amies, je profitais d'une soirée entre filles bien méritée tout en me demandant si un dirty martini de plus serait de trop. L'instant d'après, nous étions dans les toilettes du club et nous avions entendu une femme, dans la cabine du fond, crier "Non" et une voix masculine lui répondre en grognant : "Je sais que tu le veux". Ce connard avait choisi les mauvaises toilettes, dans le mauvais club, au mauvais moment. J'étais loin de me douter qu'il était le Vice-président du Club de Motard de Cade. Et même si nous venions de la sauver de ses griffes cette nuit-là, la jeune femme allait être retrouvée, un mois plus tard, flottant dans la piscine d'un motel… Diriger un cabinet de détectives privés était beaucoup plus difficile que de prendre des photos pour ce dit cabinet, surtout quand le professionnel débordait sur le privé. Je me retrouvais à ingurgiter des cupcakes comme notre nouveau chiot passait sur les tapis absorbant pour apprendre à être propre, et si je ne faisais pas attention, il y aurait un déferlement de cupcakes.

Ready to hand is an age-old feud in the west, where the Master of Ashidama Bay has long hated the Edi people of the north shore and equally hated the Aishidi&’tat for bringing the Edi to his shores—and hatred is a resource the Shadow Guild knows how to use to its advantage.Bren Cameron is tasked with getting Ilisidi, the aiji-dowager, back to the capital alive, on an urgent basis. But events are cascading down on the south, the Guild is stretched thin in the east, and the Shadow Guild is within striking distance of critical targets that could bring war to the entire south.Two lives stand in the breach, two lives the aishidi'tat would not willingly risk—Ilisidi and Bren—and the Shadow Guild will spend anything and everything to take them out.The Foreigner series sets the standard for sci-fi first contact sagas—a smart, probing, engaging sociopolitical narrative from an acknowledged master of the genre.

by Carole MasoBernadette O'Brien: child prodigyprofessor of physics at Harvardsentenced to die in the electric chair for the shocking murder of two male students. In her journal--her "death book" as she calls it--Bernadette takes a dark look back at the unfolding events that led to the extraordinary crime for which she stood trial. Defiance pulls us into the world of a lonely, defiant, brilliant woman--a misfit child, a girl-genius who left the working class, Irish Catholic world of Fall River, Massachusetts--a stone's throw away from Cambridge--who entered the halls of academic privilege at the age of 12, and stayed to rise within its ranks. In the incandescent, erotically charged prose for which she is known, Maso probes the depths of a female psyche--inextricably embedded in a uniquely American matrix of sexuality, violence, and the clash of class difference--as no writer before her has done.

Defiance
by John Patrick Shanley"Defiance is a necessary step in the life of an individual and in the life of a nation."--John Patrick Shanley"As thoughtful and probing as its predecessor, Defiance [is] filled with the provocative questions and bristling dialogue for which Mr. Shanley is known . . . as it wonders about its big, knotty subjects."--Ben Brantley, The New York Times Defiance is the "very rich and satisfying" (The Village Voice) second work in John Patrick Shanley's trilogy that began with Doubt. The play is set in 1971 at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, where Lt. Col. Morgan Littlefield and his reluctant protégé Capt. Lee King--a young African American officer--clash over issues of race and authority within the Marine Corps, even as the civil rights movement and Vietnam War divide the world outside. In this high-stakes struggle at the top of the ranks, witnessed by the base's inquisitive Chaplain White and Littlefield's irreproachable wife Margaret, Shanley has crafted another timely play exploring issues of power and morality within a hallowed institution. John Patrick Shanley's Doubt won the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Play, and was chosen as best play of the year by over ten news-papers and magazines. His other plays include Danny and the Deep Blue Sea, Four Dogs and a Bone, Psychopathia Sexualis, and Savage Limbo. He has written extensively for TV and film, including Moonstruck, for which he won an Academy Award for best screenplay.
