En tout cas, la jeune inconnue au blouson de cuir, à la fois mystérieuse et solaire, n'est pas ce qu'elle prétend... Car, là, sur le mur du légendaire diner où August joue les serveuses pour se faire un peu d'argent, le visage de Jane illumine une photo prise... dans les années 1970 ! Comment expliquer ce prodige ?

You can alter someone''s feelings-and memories-but manipulating shadows has a cost, with the potential to take hours or days from your life. Your shadow holds all the parts of you that you want to keep hidden-a second self, standing just to your left, walking behind you into lit rooms. And sometimes, it has a life of its own. Charlie is a low-level con artist, working as a bartender while trying to distance herself from the powerful and dangerous underground world of shadow trading. She gets by doing odd jobs for her patrons and the naive new money in her town at the edge of the Berkshires. But when a terrible figure from her past returns, Charlie''s present life is thrown into chaos, and her future seems at best, unclear-and at worst, non-existent. Determined to survive, Charlie throws herself into a maelstrom of secrets and murder, setting her against a cast of doppelgangers, mercurial billionaires, shadow thieves, and her own sister-all desperate to control the magic of the shadows. With sharp angles and prose, and a sinister bent, Holly Black is a master of shadow and story stitching. Remember while you read, light isn''t playing tricks in Book of Night , the people are.

Chloe Green is so close to winning. After her moms moved her from SoCal to Alabama for high school, she''s spent the past four years dodging gossipy classmates and the puritanical administration of Willowgrove Christian Academy.

Now he and Nesryn sail for Antica - the stronghold of the southern continent's mighty empire and of the legendary healers of the Torre Cesme.

Celaena must decide what she will fight for: survival, love or the future of a kingdom. Because an assassin cannot have it all . . . And trying to may just destroy her.
