Les séries VO qui me donnent envies

Salut :)



Je ne pensais pas vous faire un deuxième article aujourd'hui mais, en regardant des vidéos de Lulai Lis (qui li majoritairement des livres vo), j'ai tout à coup eu envie de faire la liste des séries (ou tomes uniques) VO dont j'attends avec impatiente la sortie.
Voici donc ma liste actuelle des séries que j'aimerais voir sortir en France (et qui ne sont pas prévus en mai) pour enfin pouvoir les lire (je ne comprends vraiment pas suffisamment l'anglais pour me lancer dans la lecture d'un livre entier).
Je viendrais ajouter les dates de sorties lorsque je les aurais ou les résumés/titres/couvertures vf lorsqu'ils seront donnés.

But Cassie is still missing, and the facts about what happened to her that night isn't just buried deep inside of Sam's memory-someone else knows, someone who wants to make sure Sam stays quiet. All Sam wants is the truth, and if she can unlock her clouded memories of that fateful night, she can finally move on. But what if not remembering is the only thing keeping Sam alive?
