-These shallow graves - Jennifer Donnelly Attirée par la couverture et surtout par la renommée de l'auteure dont j'ai déjà lu plusieurs ouvrages... ce thriller YA me paraît absolument sympathique à lire. En plus sur Goodreads il obtient la note de 3,97 sur 5 étoiles, ce qui est appréciable. L'histoire ? Une adolescente enquête sur la mort de son père. Une mort suspecte bien sûr, sur fond de journalisme investigatif !Résumé : Jo Montfort is beautiful and rich, and soon—like all the girls in her class—she’ll graduate from finishing school and be married off to a wealthy bachelor. Which is the last thing she wants. Jo secretly dreams of becoming a writer—a newspaper reporter like the trailblazing Nellie Bly. Wild aspirations aside, Jo’s life seems perfect until tragedy strikes: her father is found dead. Charles Montfort accidentally shot himself while cleaning his revolver. One of New York City’s wealthiest men, he owned a newspaper and was partner in a massive shipping firm, and Jo knows he was far too smart to clean a loaded gun. The more Jo uncovers about her father’s death, the more her suspicions grow. There are too many secrets. And they all seem to be buried in plain sight. Then she meets Eddie—a young, brash, infuriatingly handsome reporter at her father’s newspaper—and it becomes all too clear how much she stands to lose if she keeps searching for the truth. Only now it might be too late to stop. The past never stays buried forever. Life is dirtier than Jo Montfort could ever have imagined, and the truth is the dirtiest part of all.
-Dangerous Lies - Becca Fitzpatrick Là encore j'adore cette auteure et j'étais très curieuse de voir ce qu'allait donner ce thriller.

Elle refuse de reconstruire quoi que ce soit, persuadée que sa nouvelle situation ne va pas durer. Mais lorsqu'elle rencontre Chet, il lui est difficile de ne pas sourire... et de garder pour elle son terrible secret. Sortie VF chez Pocket Jeunesse en octobre 2017 sous le titre Ma vie cachée.
-Isabel Feeney, Star Reporter - Beth Fantaskey. Depuis mon coup de coeur pour Comment se débarrasser d'un vampire amoureux, Comment sauver un vampire amoureux, je n'ai pas eu l'occasion de relire des romans de cette auteure (hormis Alchimie le tout publié chez MsK). Du coup ce middle grade me tente bien.Résumé : It’s 1920s Chicago—the guns-and-gangster era of Al Capone—and it’s unusual for a girl to be selling the Tribune on the street corner. But ten-year-old Isabel Feeney is unusual . . . unusually obsessed with being a news reporter. She can’t believe her luck when she stumbles not only into a real-live murder scene, but also into her hero, the famous journalist Maude Collier. The story of how the smart, curious, loyal Isabel fights to defend the honor of her accused friend and latches on to the murder case like a dog on a pant leg makes for a winning, thoroughly entertaining middle grade mystery.
-The Potion Diaries #1 - Almy Award. Ayant lu l'avis de LulaiLis qui a bien aimé ce premier tome (et a lu la suite également), je me suis laissée tenter. J'adore la couverture que je trouve punchy et très jolie. Il ne m'en faut pas plus pour craquer surtout au prix de 7 euros! Résumé :When the Princess of Nova accidentally poisons herself with a love potion meant for her crush, she falls crown-over-heels in love with her own reflection. Oops. A nationwide hunt is called to find the cure, with competitors travelling the world for the rarest ingredients, deep in magical forests and frozen tundras, facing death at every turn. Enter Samantha Kemi - an ordinary girl with an extraordinary talent. Sam's family were once the most respected alchemists in the kingdom, but they've fallen on hard times, and winning the hunt would save their reputation. But can Sam really compete with the dazzling powers of the ZoroAster megapharma company? Just how close is Sam willing to get to Zain Aster, her dashing former classmate and enemy, in the meantime? And just to add to the pressure, this quest is ALL OVER social media. And the world news. No big deal, then.
