Where: A bar somewhere in Uptown NOLA Who: Open !

The constant turf wars between the species was nothing new in Eirik’s eyes, but the mess that had been made of New Orleans? It was exactly that - a mess. A treaty signed to supposedly strike peace through the Quarter, yet it seemed even before the ink had dried the Eskildsen’s had changed the terms. They had left the cobblestones bathed with blood to prove to all that they held the power. And alas, the quarrel to gain the greater hold on the city resumed once again.

Eirik, of course, knew no intimate details. He wasn’t, after all, a true Eskildsen. But he’d found that watching from the shadows was more than entertaining, especially when he could throw his hat in the ring to stir the pot. He was, in essence, a nobody. Who was going to look twice at your average, everyday vampire? It gave him an edge, an ability to listen in with no one the wiser. It was one of the many reasons he’d situated himself in the middle of the bar, sipping an old fashioned, in the heart of the Crescent coven’s domain. It seemed like the perfect place to hear the witches unknowingly air some dirty laundry. 

When someone eventually slid into the seat beside him, placing an order of their own, Eirik steeled himself before leaning over in their direction. “So tell me,” he drawled, “ are you the type to just drink in silence or strike up a conversation with a neighbor?”

THE CAVALRY  HUMAN MONSTERS (pt. ii)

Location: Woodbridge Animal Group, Sewaren, New Jersey Event: Para Event Time: Beginning Saturday, 9/16, at 6AM EST

→ these violent delights

The building the captives are being held in is located immediately across a river on the other side of a bridge. Most of the enemy’s forces however, occupy the lot directly across the street. Once a mover’s lot, now it’s some make shift camping ground for Laslo and his Wild Ones. RVs decked out as thoroughly as their trucks, bonfires lit nightly, and on the far end, closest to the water, are the two vampires they’ve been buying the favor of with every sacrifice dragged across the gravel ground. The group has divided into two, one to take on the bulk of these forces, and the other to try and rescue their missing in the chaos.

Nora Judd & Bryce Edwards  - there’s only one road running past the animal shelter and the Wild One’s campground. bottleneck the eastern end and kill anyone who tries to escape.

Ayden Cross & Wesley Kelley - there are two vampires who have set themselves up like royalty over their human subjects. kill the eldest of them.

Elijah Gray & Aurelia Zahar - try and keep any of the Wild Ones from getting across the street to the shelter while the others work on setting their captured free.

Zoe Bishop & Leon Taylor - find and kill the second of the two vampires before he can make more of his kin, or use the Wild Ones to start raising revenants. 

→ have violent ends

While the others create chaos across the road, a few have been selected to break into the animal shelter to set their people free. But there are several standing guard just in the main lobby, others who’ve kept themselves entertained by tormenting their prisoners. They’ll have to fight or sneak their way past to try and get to the back room where the prisoners are held.

Samson Gray & Deacon Hughes - help free those still held captive, and take on the guards that try and stop their escape.

Nate Cross & Ellie Finnegan - fully aware of what a distraction looks like when he sees it, the two are left facing Laslo himself when he comes to stop the escaping prisoners.

Carver Bernard & Roman Alza - try to clear a path for the others when all hell starts to break loose and the violence across the road bleeds onto their side.

Max Price & Milah Chou - the two are left facing the massive juggernaut of a man that brought her in, and he isn’t all that anxious to let his captive escape.

Helaine Murali & Jae Macleod - ensure the rescue and safety of Delilah Graves before making their own escape.

Daniel Tseng & Ezra Burk-Ackerman - stop the demon Caine.

FOR THE PLAYERS:

For more information regarding the villains please refer to this post.

The event will take place over the course of twenty-four hours, but may be finished up whenever threads are over.

Le fruit de ma colère – Mehdy Brunet

Le second roman est souvent une tâche ardue. Le risque de se répéter ou de manquer de jus est fréquent. Allez, on respire, ce ne sera pas le cas ici, « Le fruit de ma colère » est le digne successeur de « Sans raison » et se place comme son égal malgré de très légères frustrations dont nous allons parler plus bas.

Avec son premier roman, Mehdy Brunet (« Sans Raison… » la chronique ici !) avait remis au goût du jour le « Revenge Flick » cher à Charles Bronson, exposant son amour du film de genre avec son personnage de Josey Kowalski, hommage énamouré à Clint Eastwood. On ne peut qu’aimer un type qui a de telles références surtout s’il sait se servir de sa plume comme l’Inspecteur Harry de son Magnum 44. Et c’est le cas, Brunet a la prose qui dézingue !

Charles Bronson

L’Inspecteur Harry – Clint Eastwood

MÛR A SOUHAIT !

Il nous hameçonne dès la première page et nous titille avec sa ligne jusqu’à la dernière phrase nous laissant la joue écorchée mais toujours avide d’en savoir plus peu importe les conséquences !

Reprenant l’action quasiment là où son roman précédent s’était arrêté, l’auteur nous replonge dans les affres de la vengeance mais avec une préhension et une tonalité résolument différentes. Brunet joue avec les codes de la série B pour nous pondre un thriller nerveux et sec comme un coup de trique.

Comme tout bon film d’action qui se respecte, qui dit séquelle dit plus d’envergure, plus de grandiloquence. Et le lecteur va être gâté : enlèvements, séquestration, torture, scènes d’action, fusillades… Pas de temps morts, les événements s’enchaînent, Brunet est au sommet de sa forme et les lecteurs en pâmoison !

L’écriture est toujours aussi plaisante, claire, punchy. Efficace. L’auteur fait dans le resserré et accumule la tension quitte à ce que l’électricité chargée au fil des pages explose dans le cerveau.

LE VER EST DANS LE FRUIT

Brunet pose des bases solides à son intrigue nous laissant entrevoir un univers aux ramifications politiques excitantes mais ne l’exploite pas assez. La mythologie créée ici est fascinante et méritait vraiment d’être beaucoup plus développée.

Il faut dire que, comme le précédent le roman est court, à peine plus de 200 pages. La bonne nouvelle, c’est que ce fruit se dévore rapidement et à grandes bouchées, la mauvaise c’est que la fin arrive bien trop vite. Snif…

Souvent over the top mais d’une générosité et d’un amour sans faille, « Le fruit de ma colère » mérite vraiment qu’on le croque à pleine dents !

4ème DE COUV’

Le jour où Ackerman vient demander de l’aide à Josey Kowalsky, le compte à rebours a déjà commencé. Il faut faire vite, agir rapidement. Josey n’hésite pas un seul instant à venir au secours de cet homme qui, par le passé, a su le comprendre. Ensemble, ils vont découvrir que la colère et la vengeance peuvent prendre bien des visages. Et s’il était déjà trop tard ?

  « Le Fruit de ma colère » de Mehdy Brunet - La chronique qui récolte ce qu’elle a semé ! Souvent over the top mais d’une générosité et d’un amour sans faille, « Le fruit de ma colère » mérite vraiment qu’on le croque à pleine dents ! Le second roman est souvent une tâche ardue. Le risque de se répéter ou de manquer de jus est fréquent.
