ULTIMATELY an optimist.
A boy on the path to destruction.
A girl without escape.
A love story of secrets, pain and hope.
Since her mother's death, Kate has had to take on many roles, and she's not yet eighteen. Kate knows how to protect herself and her sister to build the semblance of a normal life, one so different from what she has always known. The Angels of Mafra, the brotherhood she grew up in, reigned supreme over the underground. By the time she moved away, the Russian mafia had already begun to take over the city by force and intimidation.
And then Kate meets Chris. After this surprising first meeting, they were sure they would never see each other again, but fate has decided otherwise, and their attraction to each other will take over reason. Her encounter with Chris will upset her certainties. He's all that Kate avoids, which is: trouble. Chris sweats danger, but his charm will draw Kate into a whirlwind of emotions, and truths from her past she cannot hide from come back to haunt her.
The Angels ride back into town led by Graves “Baby” Barger. Kate's uncle. The result of the equation: Angels of Mafra plus Chris is foolishly simple, and it’s not joy.

Don’t we say that it’s in the darkest moments that hope and light arise? Only time can tell.
I am Isabelle, daughter of the Queen of the Castes, and today I must assume my inheritance.

Fate had made me a stranger; someone I never should have been and couldn't stand.
I would give anything to regain my humanity, but I had no way to go back.
Was there any chance that I was wrong? A ridiculous hope? I had to know, at all costs...

For me, a new life was beginning: university at St Andrews with Elgin, my werewolf boyfriend. I had hoped that calm had returned; that I would live my first year of college like any other young girl, or almost. Sweet utopia. But nothing ever happens the way you want it to.
Wolves and dark angels. They had to go to war, it was stronger than them. Their ancestral hatred would push them to the limit. I was overwhelmed. I had no idea then, but the forces that would clash were beyond anything you could imagine.
I was at least sure of one thing: eventually, I would pay the price. Maybe I wouldn't even get out of it unscathed.
Rucker held the key to understanding this world. His history is tragic and bloodied. Battle. Death. Loss. Here I learnt that the past defines our future, and fate is a curse that only love can break.

When their paths cross again in the middle of winter, neither can deny what they are experiencing. But their relationship threatens the principle that guides their lives: to trust no one.
LENA HUDSON
Lena Hudson has the intelligence and drive of her father but also the unfortunate habit of rushing headlong into adventure: a very risky world since she also has the knack of finding herself in the most extreme situations, each one all the more hazardous than the others.
Who is the handsome and dangerous Attila? Who has kidnapped her best friend, and why?
An epic adventure turns into a life and death chase across the globe. From Venice to the middle of the Amazon, from Budapest to France, with an ever-present threat in the shadows Lena cannot escape from.
After the death of her mother, Elizabeth Barrem is forced to follow her father and spend her last year of high school in a small town that she soon realizes is unlike any other and that packs of wolves share the city.
And of course, this amusing and endearing heroine finds herself unwittingly at the centre of interest of these young, sexy wolves; temperamental, and doped with pheromones! Surprising, bewildering. It begins as a very classic young adult shifter fiction but in a few pages, we quickly realize that there is much more than that to discover. Clans, a sacred language, a not very clear past and a legend that reinvents the world of werewolves and offers a new perspective that takes us completely into this fantastic universe that is both dark and full of humour.
