Discordia (La Biblioteca de lo Profano 2 #2)
by Jb TrepagnierOdio perder y parece que estoy en racha. El cuadro de Dorian Gray nunca estuvo en la cámara acorazada de la biblioteca. Actualmente no tenemos ni idea de dónde está y la única persona que puede rastrearlo probablemente esté secuestrada en un almacén con todo tipo de objetos malditos. La polla de Balthazar sigue maldita y no hay forma fácil de quitarla. Ya lo empeoré una vez. Espero que no se caiga esta vez. Estaba totalmente en contra de casarme con Reyson cuando despertó y anunció que yo sería su nueva esposa, pero mi determinación al respecto está empezando a debilitarse. Empieza a importarme el maldito dios. Las únicas personas que saben dónde está el cuadro de Dorian son Dorian y el maestro demonio de Bram. Incluso si encontramos a Dorian, no podemos matarlo sin su pintura. Sé mejor que nadie que cuando un brujo no quiere que te metas en sus cosas, los resultados suelen ser fatales. Entiendo que necesitamos al señor de los demonios, pero si todos estamos arriesgando nuestras vidas para sacarlo de esa trampa, será mejor que le conceda la libertad a Bram porque me gusta tener a ese sabueso infernal cerca. Empiezo a preocuparme por toda esta gente que se ha colado en mi vida y en mi biblioteca, pero echo de menos los días normales aquí ayudando con maldiciones, hechizos y disputas territoriales. Me gustaría desaparecer en nuestra sección erótica durante un rato y fingir que Dorian Gray no está construyendo un ejército sobrenatural.

Discordia: Perché Scegliere il Romanzo Paranormale (La Biblioteca del Profano 2 #2)
by Jb TrepagnierOdio perdere, e non è proprio il mio periodo. Il ritratto di Dorian Gray non era mai stato nel caveau della biblioteca. Non sappiamo ancora dove si trovi, e l’unica persona che può rintracciarlo probabilmente è tenuta ostaggio in un container insieme a un sacco di oggetti maledetti. Il cazzo di Balthazar è ancora maledetto, e non c’è un metodo semplice per sistemarlo. Già una volta ho peggiorato la situazione. Spero che stavolta non si stacchi. Ero totalmente contraria al matrimonio con Reyson quando si è svegliato e ha annunciato che sarei stata la sua nuova moglie, ma la mia risoluzione comincia a vacillare… Inizio a tenere a quel cavolo di dio. Le uniche persone che sanno dove si trova il ritratto di Dorian sono Dorian e il demone padrone di Bram. Anche se troviamo Dorian, non possiamo ucciderlo senza il suo dipinto. So fin troppo bene che quando una strega non vuole che metti il naso tra le sue cose, il risultato di solito è fatale. Capisco che ci serve il capo demone, ma visto come stiamo tutti rischiando la vita per liberarlo, è meglio che liberi Bram perché mi piace avere quel Mastino intorno. Inizio a tenere a tutta la gente che ha fatto irruzione nella mia vita e nella mia biblioteca, ma mi mancano i giorni normali in cui aiutavo con le maledizioni, gli incantesimi e le dispute territoriali. Vorrei scomparire nella nostra sezione di letteratura erotica per un po’ e fare finta che Dorian Gray non stia assemblando un esercito sovrannaturale.
Discount Armageddon (Incryptid #1)
by Seanan McGuireCryptozoologist, noun: Any person who thinks hunting for cryptids is a good idea. See also "idiot." Ghoulies. Ghosties. Long-legged beasties. Things that go bump in the night ... and that's just the beginning. The Price family has spent generations studying the monsters of the world, working to protect them from humanity--and to protect humanity from them. Enter Verity Price. Despite being trained from birth as a cryptozoologist, she'd rather dance a tango than tangle with a demon, and is spending a year in Manhattan while she pursues her career in professional ballroom dance. Sounds pretty simple, right? It would be, if it weren't for the talking mice, the telepathic mathematicians, the asbestos supermodels, and the trained monster-hunter sent by the Price family's old enemies, the Covenant of St. George. To complicate matters further, local cryptids are disappearing, strange lizard-men are appearing in the sewers, and someone's spreading rumors about a dragon sleeping underneath the city .... A lifetime of training isn't enough to prepare Verity for what's ahead--especially not for Dominic De Luca, the Covenant's newest operative. When a Price girl meets a Covenant boy, high stakes, high heels, and a lot of collateral damage are almost guaranteed.
