She can see the truth, but when she's accused of murder, no one believes she's innocent. Hallie works as a skip tracer - hunting down people wanted by the law, for one reason or another.

Je n'ai jamais été une grenouille de bénitier, mais je me souviens très bien des grandes lignes de la religion affirmant que Dieu est omnipotent, omniscient, omniprésent et... immense. Sauf qu'à en croire l'individu petit, chauve et rabougri qui se tient devant moi, il doit y avoir erreur sur la marchandise. Dans le cas contraire, si ce type est bel et bien le Tout-Puissant comme il le prétend, il va apprendre de quel bois je me chauffe. Même affronter l'enfer ne me fait pas peur. On n'avait qu'à pas m'enlever l'homme que j'aime.

Après l'incendie ayant ravagé La fièvre du samedi soir, mon jardin s'est une nouvelle fois retrouvé envahi par les vampires. Ma stupidité me perdra, j'aurais dû savoir que j'allais encore me mettre dans le pétrin en acceptant de les héberger.

But from beneath the devastated California landscape emerges a tendril of hope. A mysterious traveler arrives at New Eden with knowledge of a passageway North—a final escape from the increasingly cunning Beaters

Cette fois, c'est sûr, je suis née sous une mauvaise étoile. J'ai d'abord découvert les vampires, puis les anges, ensuite les entre-deux, les démons, et maintenant, voilà qu'on me jette des sorts et qu'on accroche des poulets égorgés à ma porte. Il ne manquait plus que ça ! Sans compter que cet idiot de Greg le Bulldozer s'est amouraché d'une griffeuse psychopathe que je ne vois pas d'un bon œil. Il a l'air d'avoir de sérieux problèmes. C'est plus fort que moi, il va falloir que je m'en mêle, même si, à coup sûr, je vais au-devant de sacrés ennuis.
