Leituras em dia: City of Ashes e One for The Money

Na minha bagagem não faltou os meus amigos de laser, neste post um livro, City of Ashes de Cassandra Clare.

Clary Fray just wishes that her life would go back to normal. But what's normal when you're a demon-slaying Shadowhunter, your mother is in a magically induced coma, and you can suddenly see Downworlders like werewolves, vampires, and faeries? If Clary left the world of the Shadowhunters behind, it would mean more time with her best friend, Simon, who's becoming more than a friend. But the Shadowhunting world isn't ready to let her go—especially her handsome, infuriating, newfound brother, Jace. And Clary's only chance to help her mother is to track down rogue Shadowhunter Valentine, who is probably insane, certainly evil—and also her father.
To complicate matters, someone in New York City is murdering Downworlder children. Is Valentine behind the killings—and if he is, what is he trying to do? When the second of the Mortal Instruments, the Soul-Sword, is stolen, the terrifying Inquisitor arrives to investigate and zooms right in on Jace. How can Clary stop Valentine if Jace is willing to betray everything he believes in to help their father?

Talvez por ter passado algum tempo desde que li o primeiro livro da série demorou um pouco a entrar na história. Recheado de vampiros, anjos, lobisomens e caçadores de sombras. Jace a comportar-se a altura e a ser erradamente julgado por ser filho de quem é.

Mais este que foi comprado em Kiel, o segundo a ser lido.

Trenton native Stephanie Plum is out of work, out of money, and her car's in repo-hell. So how does a hardly working girl turn to when the going gets tough? Meet cousin Vinnie, bail bondsman. Stephanie figures it's nice work if you can get it -- shagging bail jumpers for $10,000 a pop. So she joins up. Not that she knows the first thing about it. But hey, beggars can't be choosers.
But now the bad news -- there's a cranky ex-prize fighter dogging her, unfinished business with Maestro Morelli himself, and a nasty habit she has of leaping first and looking later. If Stephanie doesn't wise up fast, the first dead body she sees could be her own.

Não vi ainda o filme mas adorei o livro, divertido, realista das dificuldades actuais - desemprego, e romântico. Mais hilariante de todos a personagem avó de Stephanie, é de partir o coco a rir. Apesar da idade mente muito, muito fresca.
Até breve
