Voici la couverture de The Golden Lily, le tome 2 de la saga Bloodlines! Jill est à gauche, et Sydney à droite.
J'attends le livre avec impatience sachant la dernière phrase de Bloodlines hiiiiiiii ^^
Et voici le résumé de The Golden Lily :
Sydney Sage is an Alchemist, one of a group of humans who dabble in magic and serve to bridge the worlds of humans and vampires. They protect vampire secrets—and human lives.
Sydney would love to go to college, but instead, she’s been sent into hiding at a posh boarding school in Palm Springs, California–tasked with protecting Moroi princess Jill Dragomir from assassins who want to throw the Moroi court into civil war. Formerly in disgrace, Sydney is now praised for her loyalty and obedience, and held up as the model of an exemplary Alchemist.
But the closer she grows to Jill, Eddie, and especially Adrian, the more she finds herself questioning her age–old Alchemist beliefs, her idea of family, and the sense of what it means to truly belong. Her world becomes even more complicated when magical experiments show Sydney may hold the key to prevent becoming Strigoi—the fiercest vampires, the ones who don’t die. But it’s her fear of being just that—special, magical, powerful—that scares her more than anything. Equally daunting is her new romance with Brayden, a cute, brainy guy who seems to be her match in every way. Yet, as perfect as he seems, Sydney finds herself being drawn to someone else—someone forbidden to her.
When a shocking secret threatens to tear the vampire world apart, Sydney’s loyalties are suddenly tested more than ever before. She wonders how she's supposed to strike a balance between the principles and dogmas she's been taught, and what her instincts are now telling her.
Should she trust the Alchemists—or her heart?

Présentation de l’éditeur
What happens when you discover you aren’t who you thought you were? And that the person you love is the person who will betray you? If your fate is already determined, can you fight it?
When Evie Tremain discovers that she’s the last in a long line of Demon slayers and that she’s being hunted by an elite band of assassins – Shapeshifters, Vampires and Mixen demons amongst them – she knows she can’t run. They’ll find her wherever she goes. Instead she must learn to stand and fight.
But when the half-human, half-Shadow Warrior Lucas Gray – is sent to spy on Evie and then ordered to kill her before she can fulfil a dangerous prophecy, their fates become inextricably linked. The war that has raged for one thousand years between humans and demons is about to reach a devastating and inevitable conclusion. Either one or both of them will die before this war ends.
If your life becomes bound to another’s, what will it take to sever it?
Mon avis
J’avais adoré Hunting Lila de Sarah Alderson, un romantic suspense avec une pointe de paranormal. Ici, avec Fated, Sarah Alderson entre de plein pied dans une histoire purement paranormale avec métamorphes et pouvoirs surnaturels, mais bien entendu le principal est une belle histoire d’amour.
Elevée par sa mère adoptive, Evie rêve de quitter sa petite ville. Cependant, lorsque des créatures terrifiantes tentent de la tuer, elle découvre qu’elle est une descendante de Hunter et qu’elle est donc poursuivie par ses ennemis jurés, les démons. Ayant appris sa véritable nature, elle va devoir apprendre à se battre pour sa vie et son héritage. Mais on ne lui a pas tout révélé…
L’histoire est racontée des points de vue d’Evie et de Lucas mais à la 3èmepersonne, ce qui n’empêche pas de ressentir leurs sentiments. Evie plonge dans un monde inconnu, terrifiant et dangereux mais elle s’en sort plutôt bien. Lucas est un héros craquant, un combattant qui peut paraitre très froid au premier abord mais qui ne fond que pour sa belle, c’est vraiment très chou.
Il y a beaucoup d’action, des combats, du suspense, et une relation d’amour qui mûrit lentement mais surement, les sentiments de Lucas étant évidents rapidement de manière étonnante.
En dépit de ce tome réussi, qui appelle à une suite, j’ai quand même préféré Hunting Lila, et j’attends d’ailleurs avec impatience la suite, Losing Lila, qui sortira le 2 août aux Etats-Unis.
Maggie Stiefvater a révélé son nouveau projet! The Raven Boys est le 1er livre d'une saga de 4 et sortira le 18 septembre 2012 aux Etats Unis.
Le résumé officiel :
Filled with mystery, romance, and the supernatural, The Raven Boys introduces readers to Richard “Dick” Campbell Gansey, III and Blue Sargent. Gansey has it all—family money, good looks, devoted friends—but he’s looking for much more than that. He is on the hunt to find Glendower, a vanished Welsh king. Legend has it that the first person to find him will be granted a wish—either by seeing him open his eyes, or by cutting out his heart.
Blue Sargent, the daughter of the town psychic in Henrietta, Virginia, has been told for as long as she can remember that if she ever kisses her true love, he will die. But she is too practical to believe in things like true love. Her policy is to stay away from the rich boys at the prestigious Aglionby Academy. The boys there—known as Raven Boys—can only mean trouble. When Gansey and his Raven Boy friends come into her life, Blue realizes how true this is. She never thought her fortune would be a problem. But she was wrong.
Un nouveau résumé de la page Amazon.com du livre
“There are only two reasons a non-seer would see a spirit on St. Mark’s Eve,” Neeve said. “Either you’re his true love . . . or you killed him.”
It is freezing in the churchyard, even before the dead arrive.
Every year, Blue Sargent stands next to her clairvoyant mother as the soon-to-be dead walk past. Blue herself never sees them—not until this year, when a boy emerges from the dark and speaks directly to her.
His name is Gansey, and Blue soon discovers that he is a rich student at Aglionby, the local private school. Blue has a policy of staying away from Aglionby boys. Known as Raven Boys, they can only mean trouble.
But Blue is drawn to Gansey, in a way she can’t entirely explain. He has it all—family money, good looks, devoted friends—but he’s looking for much more than that. He is on a quest that has encompassed three other Raven Boys: Adam, the scholarship student who resents all the privilege around him; Ronan, the fierce soul who ranges from anger to despair; and Noah, the taciturn watcher of the four, who notices many things but says very little.
For as long as she can remember, Blue has been warned that she will cause her true love to die. She never thought this would be a problem. But now, as her life becomes caught up in the strange and sinister world of the Raven Boys, she’s not so sure anymore.
