Bone Crossed / Скрещенные кости

→"Used to be," he told me. "Once."
0 - Однажды... В былые времена, - ответил он.
→The oakman's smile drained away. "Brownie magic," he told me. "He seeks to lock the other vampire out. The brownie was His before me, and she found her release just this past spring. His use of her power is still nearly complete." He looked over at Corban. "The magic he works will leave him hungry."
0 - Магия домового, - сказал окмен, - он искал выход, когда другой вампир исчез. Домовой был здесь до меня, и она нашла свое освобождение прошлой весной. Он использовал ее силу слишком активно, - он посмотрел на Корбана, - использование магии забирает у него силы и заставляет питаться.
→"A trial run?" he asked, his voice all rumbly with sleep. The sound of it helped a lot with the halves I was feeling—virtually eliminating embarrassed, reducing scared, and pushing aroused up a few notches.
0 и навалились воспоминания прошлой ночи.
→The next two floors weren't nearly as interesting as the basement—no black widows. Someone had thoroughly modernized them and left not so much as a trace of an old servants' stairway or dumb-waiter.
0 Что-то было обновлено и модернизировано а что-то осталось из прошлого века, например ступенчатый сервант.
→NEITHER OF THE TWO MEN WHO ENTERED THE HOUSE was handsome. The shorter man was slightly balding, with plump hands that had three thick gold rings on them. His suit was off-the-rack, but the rack had been expensive. His eyes were pale, pale blue, almost as pale as Samuel's wolf eyes.
0 Костюм был явно дорогим и сшит на заказ. А глаза... глаза были бледного голубого цвета, как волчьи глаза Самуэля.
→"Fixed a shift linkage in a Ford Focus at that rest stop near Connell," I told him. "Nice lady and her dog were stuck after having a clutch job done by her brother-in-law. He hadn't tightened down a few bolts, and one of them fell off. Took me an hour or so before we found someone who had a bolt and nut the right size." And I had the oil stains across my shoulders and the grit in my hair to prove it. In my Rabbit I kept a towel to put on the ground. I also kept a selection of useful car bits. It was going to be a while before my Rabbit was up and running.
1 - Ремонтировала сцепление в «Форд Фокусе» на остановке около Коннелла, приятная леди с собакой застряли после «починки» сцепления каким-то безруким механиком. Несколько болтов были не затянуты и один из них упал. Это заняло час или около того – искали гайку и болт нужного размера, – доказательство моего ремонта служат масляные пятна на плечах и песок в волосах.
В моём «Кролике» я держала полотенце, чтобы стелить на землю, в случае подобных непредвиденных ситуаций, а также кучу полезных запчастей, это было в то время, когда мой «Кролик» еще бегал.
→"So you decided not to become a history teacher," Amber said as she pulled away from the curb. Her voice was tight with nerves. The stress was coming from her end, I thought—but then she'd never been relaxing company.
0 Стресс сковал ее, хотя и компания была не особо расслабляющей.
→I can place women's fashions of the past hundred years within about ten years, and before that to the nearest century. Men's clothing not so much, especially when they are not formal clothes. The button fly on his cotton pants told me it was before zippers were used much. His shirt was dark brown with a tunic neck that would allow it to be pulled over his head, so there were no buttons on it.
0 Взять женскую моду прошлых столетий или ближайшего десятилетия она была достаточно разнообразной, мужская одежда не была такой, если исключить официальные случаи.

Он был одет в хлопковые кальсоны, его рубашка была темно коричневая а туника не имела застежек.
