Lors d'une froide et longue nuit, Jack Sommers a été confronté à un choix : vivre pour toujours selon les anciennes règles magiques de Gaïa, ou mourir.
Jack a choisi de vivre, et en échange, il est devenu un Hiver - une incarnation physique de la saison sur Terre. Chaque année, il doit chasser la Saison qui le précède. L'Été tue le Printemps. L'Automne tue l'Été. L'Hiver tue l'Automne. Et le Printemps tue l'Hiver.
Le tout est régi par un macabre classement qui donne droit à des promotions ou à une Annihilation totale.
Mais contre toute attente, Jack tombe amoureux de Fleur, la Printemps chargée de l'éliminer. Pour être ensemble, ils vont devoir s'échapper du terrible cycle meurtrier dans lequel ils sont prisonniers. Mais leur créateur ne les laissera pas partir si facilement...
Un récit fascinant sur l'amour, la mort et l'amitié.

Perfect for fans of Holly Black and Victoria Schwab, this is the stunning conclusion to a lush, high-stakes fantasy duology, the first book of which New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Armentrout called "flawless and addictive." As immortal Seasons, Jack and Fleur wielded powerful magic in their roles as a Winter and a Spring. Yet there wasn''t magic strong enough to keep them apart, and they risked everything for their love, for the freedom to live their lives as they choose--together. That choice came at a cost, and Jack had to sacrifice his Winter magic--and his immortality. Although he''d do anything for Fleur, he can''t deny the emptiness he''s felt since. And the world they thought they left behind is still dealing with the fallout of the battle. With Professor Lyon as the new Chronos, Seasons are free to do as they please. But not everyone is happy with the change in leadership. When an old enemy seeks revenge, immense magic runs wild and unchecked, creating chaos everywhere. Thrust into the middle of a new war, Jack and Fleur are again forced to choose between their freedom and saving the world from the storm.

When struggling crime writer Finlay Donovan takes on a life of crime normally reserved for her characters, she finds herself entangled in a real-life murder investigation. W itty and fast-paced, this murder mystery is perfect for fans of Janet Evanovich and Maria Semple. ''Proves you only need to get mistaken once for a contract killer to solve all your problems'' LISA GARDNER Finlay Donovan, single mum and floundering crime writer, is having a hard time. Her ex-husband went behind her back to fire the nanny, and this morning she sent her four-year-old to school with hair duct-taped to her head after an unfortunate incident with scissors. Making it to lunch with her literary agent is a minor victory but, as she''s discussing the plot of her latest crime novel, the conversation is misinterpreted by a woman sitting nearby as that of a hit-woman offering her services to dispose of a ''problem'' husband. And when the woman slips Finlay a name and a promise of a large sum of cash, Finlay finds herself plotting something much bigger than her novel. And, after all, they do always say: write what you know. . . Finlay Donovan really is killing it . . . ''Funny and smart, twisty and surprising - Finlay Donovan is a character to root for. This suspenseful romp made me laugh but also kept me on the edge of my seat with its many surprises. I can''t wait for the next book!'' MEGAN MIRANDA '' Clever, perfectly plotted, and laugh out loud funny, Finlay Donovan is Killing It is one of those books that will make you smile long after you''ve turned the last page.''

D'AUTRICE DE ROMANS POLICIERS À TUEUSE À GAGES, IL N'Y A PARFOIS QU'UN (PETIT) PAS !
Rien ne va plus pour Finlay Donovan, autrice de romans policiers qui peinent à décoller et mère célibataire de deux enfants. Le livre qu'elle a promis à son agent n'est pas encore écrit, son ex-mari a renvoyé la nounou sans lui en parler, et ce matin elle a dû déposer à l'école sa fille de quatre ans, du scotch dans les cheveux à la suite d'un incident capillaire.
Alors qu'elle discute de l'intrigue de son nouveau manuscrit avec son agent dans un restaurant, leur voisine de table prend Finlay pour une tueuse à gages et glisse un mot dans son sac à main : elle lui offre 50 000 $ pour la débarrasser d'un mari un peu trop encombrant.
Hors de question pour Finlay de passer à l'acte ! Mais, tourmentée par cette somme énorme qui réglerait bien des problèmes, elle se rend malgré tout au bar où travaille la future victime et se retrouve embarquée dans une véritable enquête criminelle. La fiction dépassera-t-elle la réalité ?
