Libri che consiglio a chi ha amato la Confraternita del pugnale nero di J. R. Ward

Su richiesta di una lettrice del blog ho preparato una breve lista di serie paranormal romance, disponibili in italiano, che consiglio di leggere a chi ha amato i libri della Confraternita del pugnale nero di J. R. Ward (di cui in Italia è appena uscito il ventesimo libro LOVER ARISEN):

- La serie Guild hunter di Nalini Singh, i cui primi 4 libri sono disponibili anche in italiano. Il primo libro della serie è Il profumo del sangue

Link: https://amzn.to/3whCfsd

Trama: Il libro è ambientato in un mondo simile al nostro solo, governato dagli Angeli, esseri immortali dorati di straordinari poteri che si sono divisi la terra in territori che comandano con un pugno di ferro. Nonostante il loro aspetto quasi umano, a parte le loro bellissime ali, gli angeli sono esseri antichi dalle potenti emozioni capaci di incredibile crudeltà, esseri disumani, odiati ed adorati al tempo stesso. Gli angeli hanno molti poteri e e anche il loro sangue ha grandi capacità, infatti è tramite esso che essi si creano dei servitori immortali, trasformando dei volontari umani, in vampiri. Alcuni esseri umani nascono poi con la capacità di sentire i vampiri, annusarli quasi come segugi potremmo quasi dire anche se i sensi che usano sono quasi soprannaturali. E questi umani sfruttano questa loro capacità diventando cacciatori di vampiri che commettono crimini e che soprattutto osano scappare dai loro padroni angelici.  Ellie la protagonista di questo romanzo è la migliore cacciatrice di vampiri di New York, ma ora persino lei si trova in difficoltà: viene infatti convocata da Raphael, l’affascinante e gelidamente crudele arcangelo che governa la città, uno degli immortali più potenti della Terra, per una missione speciale: deve dare la caccia e neutralizzare Uram, un arcangelo impazzito che si è trasformato in un efferato assassino. Inutile aggiungere che tra la cacciatrice e l’arcangelo suo datore di lavoro, Raphael, l’attrazzione è bollente….      

  - la Psy Changeling serie di Nalini Singh, i cui primi due libri sono stati pubblicati in italiano (e il terzo dovrebbe esserlo a breve). Il primo libro si intitola Schiavi delle sensazioni.    

Link: https://amzn.to/34LspC3

Trama: In un mondo che nega le emozioni, dove gli Psy al potere puniscono qualsiasi segno di desiderio, Sascha Duncan deve nascondere tutto ciò che prova e che la bolla come imperfetta. Rivelare i suoi sentimenti, infatti, significherebbe condannarsi all’orrore della “riabilitazione”: la completa cancellazione psichica di tutto ciò che è stata. Metà umano metà animale, Lucas Hunter è un Mutaforma, affamato di quelle stesse sensazioni che gli Psy rinnegano. Dopo secoli di difficile coesistenza, le due razze si ritrovano sull’orlo di una guerra a causa di una serie di brutali omicidi, di cui sono state vittime diverse donne Mutaforma. Lucas è determinato a trovare l’assassino, appartenente alla razza Psy, che ha massacrato una sua compagna di Branco e Sascha è il suo biglietto per entrare nella loro società strettamente sorvegliata.

I romanzi di questa  serie sono postapocalittici, ambientati in un futuro terribile, città desolate ed in rovina, civiltà umana in ginocchio ed un mondo governato da immortali crudeli. Cinque uomini risvegliatesi dopo 55 anni in questo tempo buio emergono dal fuoco con nuovi poteri e cercheranno di sopravvivere e di salvare l'umanità, ma non possono riuscirci da soli. Naturalmente incontreranno delle donne ecc.. Ogni libro è dedicato in modo particolare ad uno di loro, ma le trame sono conseguenziali e diverse parti specie nel primo libro, sono corali, perciò sarebbe meglio leggerli tutti e nell'ordine giusto. Il primo libro si intitola I diari delle tenebre. La lunga notte

                          - la serie di libri Elder races di Thea Harrison, tutta disponibile in italiano, il cui primo libro si intitola Il legame del drago

Trama: Il primo libro della serie parla di Pia e Dragos. Pia è mezza Wyr da parte di madre, e mezza umana da parte di padre. La specie animale in cui sua madre si trasformava era talmente rara e ricercata che lei ha insegnato a Pia principalmente a scappare e nascondersi e a vivere tra gli umani sopprimendo la sua natura. Dragos è invece uno dei più potenti ed antichi Wyr, il primo Drago mutaforma. Pia tra i suoi poteri Wyr ha la facoltà di enrtare o uscire in qualunque stanza chiusa a chiave nessun lucchetto può imprigionarla, e per questa sua dote viene costretta a rubare qualcosa dal tesoro di Dragos….Inizia così una catena di eventi che la farà scontrare ed incontrare con Dragos che rimarrà sorpreso ed attratto da lei tanto dal volerne fare la sua compagna……

Hawke: We do as I say, end of discussion.

Sascha: Is he this bossy in bed?

Sienna: If I’m lucky.

[nicholasambrosiusgautier]

Sascha: It explains your high emotional intelligence and innate sense of good and evil. You were raised by a psychopath and yet you’re a good, whole person.

Memory: Add spite to the list of reasons. I stayed myself to spite him.

[darauwu]

Sascha darling. This is all I wanted to say. Thank you.

[psychangeling]

Her eyes were no longer night-sky. Sparks of color fountained where the white stars usually resided, spectacular fireworks on the most miniature of scales. Neither man nor panther had ever seen anything more beautiful.

Lucas Hunter

[quotesfromromance]

Sascha had faced down a Psy butcher who’d killed without remorse, but she couldn’t continue speaking to Amara Aleine, couldn’t stand to listen to her sly whispers. Getting up, she walked out. Lucas came after her as she strode toward the woods. “I am not an emotional vampire!”

Her mate didn't miss a beat. “No, you’re not. And she’s a sociopath who you really shouldn’t be listening to.”

“I don’t pretend!” She turned, pushed at his chest. “I love you so goddamn much it tears me to pieces. Why the hell would I feel that if I was pretending?”

“Again,” Lucas said, holding her to him with his arms around her waist, “consider the source.”

She muttered and yelled some more, releasing the anger, before collapsing against his chest.

Alright, it’s OC secret origins time.

The short story for Sascha’s existence in Earth-24 is that Victor was spiraling into self-destructive depression after his parents' deaths and one night got exceptionally drunk and had unprotected sex with a woman who looked enough like Roman in the dark that he thought it might make him feel something.

The longer, more complicated story is that Sascha's mother deliberately set out to get pregnant because she thought having the child of a grieving man who'd just come into a significant inheritance and must be desperate for a familial connection was a way out of an increasingly dangerous life and marriage.

She really could not have anticipated how quickly and thoroughly Victor was demolishing his life and finances.

She obviously didn't end up approaching him. Initially because he'd lost his entire fortune, so it really defeated the purpose. And then after he took up with Roman because that wasn't exactly a stable, safe situation itself. And she did feel guilty by then. She didn't regret it, really, but she at no point pretended it wasn't a pretty shitty, dishonest dick move. But it was what she felt she had to try.

And she loved Sascha. She raised her as well as she could under the circumstances. Her husband was a low-level criminal in Bludhaven, barely scraping by in and constantly under threat of retaliation from his employers for being pretty shit at his job. He never physically abused Sascha or her mother nor did he frequently lose his temper at them, but he refused to recognize the constant danger he was putting them in in his futile pursuit of underworld notoriety, to the point that he began involving Sascha herself in the work.

She kept up-to-date with Victor, just in case. Every few years she'd write a letter she never sent. There was probably never going to be a good time to say, “Hey, I tried to baby trap you a little under a decade ago. Here’s the result.” But her hand was forced when Sascha was targeted for kidnapping. (This part involves the Court of Owls arc of the ‘verse, so I'm still working out the details. But the Court always hated the Zsaszes--for reasons I'll get into in another post--and were more than petty enough to abduct their grandkid to become a Talon.) At any rate, she gives Sascha the letters and tells her where to find her biological father. Sascha comes out of the encounter with the Talons alive and on her way. Her mother and the man who raised her do not. Though Sascha either does not know or is in denial of that for awhile longer.

And that is how Roman finds a goddamned ten-year-old drinking virgin daquiris with Harley Quinn in his goddamned night club.
