Ugly redheaded stepshildren and few delightfully messed up books

Yes it's that time again, and I can hear you groan :)

I've got a nice selection of book covers, and I separated 3 of them as an example of what you can not do with the redheads on the cover. Never. Under no circumstances. Prepare to hurt your eyes...

Да, да, опять пришло время рыжих. Я уже слышу как вы стонете в отчаянии... У меня получилась неплохая выборка за исключением 3-х экземпляров, что наглядно показывают что с рыжими на обложках делать нельзя. Никогда. Приготовьтесь к небольшой рези в глазах...

Loved Inside Out and The Call From Within. Also I've read Faith Hunter's trilogy, and it's delightfully insane pot-apocalyptic story, which if I'm not mistaken was turned into a computer game.

No, for the culprits!

Мне очень понравились обложки Inside Out и The Call From Within. Я также знакома с трилогией Фэйт Хантер, и это совершенно безумная пост-апокалиптичная история, которую, я слышала, успешно превратили в компьютерную игру.

Ну и теперь наши плохиши...

I think it's safe to say that you should never have redheads with orange, bright red or bright yellow background. It's garish and painful for your eyes. However, blue, green and even pink always look wonderful.

Я думаю, что можно смело сказать, что рыжие на фоне ярко-красного, оранжевого или ярко-жёлтого выглядят уродливо и режут глаза. Синий, зелёный и даже розовый выглядели бы наоборот прекрасно.

Ну и теперь несколько безумных книжек, что я в своём нынешнем состоянии жуть как желаю прочесть.

At last I have to share few insane books which I in my current mood fancy reading.

 Synopsis from Goodreads
The Quantum Bomb of 2015 changed everything. The fabric that kept the universe's different dimensions apart was torn and now, six years later, the people of earth exist in uneasy company with the inhabitants of, amongst others, the elfin, elemental, and demonic realms. Magic is real and can be even more dangerous than technology. Elves are exotic, erotic, dangerous, and really bored with the constant Lord of the Rings references. Elementals are a law unto themselves and demons are best left well to themselves. 

Special agent Lila Black used to be pretty, but now she's not so sure. Her body is more than half restless carbon and metal alloy machinery, a machine she's barely in control of. It goes into combat mode, enough weapons for a small army springing from within itself, at the merest provocation. As for her heart, well, ever since being drawn into a game by the elfin rockstar Zal (lead singer of the No Shows), who she's been assigned to protect, she's not even sure she can trust that any more either.

 Synopsis from Goodreads
Larry is an angel of the Lord... retired. To avoid final judgment and rather warm room without a view he seeks to make amends by helping humanity against spiritual darkness. Unable to directly interfere, he must use a human to do his dirty work, or as he calls them... Paladins. 

A lonely kindergarten teacher, Harriet Smith, dreaming of romance and an exciting life of high adventure, has no idea that she has been chosen... that is until she is kidnapped by a five year old, and reborn as the sultry, Maggie Black. Maggie is about to find that the world is a far different place than she could have ever imagined as she faces shape shifting hit men, psychotic witches, and four thousand year old living weapons of mass destruction. Fortunately, Maggie isn't alone, as Silas Cole, a deceased Paladin, comes to her aid, possessing the body of his murdered great grandson. Maggie soon falls in love with the dashing Silas, but finds that to save humanity, she must sacrifice the man she loves.

 Synopsis from Goodreads
Half-devil and miles from anything resembling heroic, perpetual underdog Frank “Triggaltheron” Trigg is the last man standing against Armageddon. As the favorite nephew of the Devil, Frank has led a troubled life, but he’d always had his uncle’s influence to fall back on. Now, with God and Lucifer coming to terms and leaving existence to fend for itself, his once exalted status of Anti-Christ-to-be does little to
endear him to the hordes of angels and demons running amok in the Godless world.

With help from the members of DRAC, an organization of wizards, psychics, telepaths, and low-end supernatural beings, Frank must thwart the pro-Armageddon forces and rescue an angel in whose life rests the fate of humanity.

Better luck next time, humanity. 

  
  

Synopsis from Goodreads
England, 1888. The trees are green, the birds are singing, and in 200 years demons will destroy it all. Unless Joan, a rough-around-the-edges assassin from the future, can take out the dark magician responsible. But to get close to her target she'll need help learning how to fit into society.
Simon has his own reasons for wanting to destroy Alex Reynell, and Joan may be his perfect revenge. But as each day passes, Simon is less sure he wants her anywhere near Reynell. Because no spell in the world will save his future if she isn't in it.










Freaking awesome, aren't they?
