Been reading the other thread, and now I have a few thoughts:
1. Shadow lash.
Now that Harry no longer have Bob as a magic consultant, it would be nice if shadow lash could return and act in that capasity. I hope the parasite is shaddow lash transforming from a thought entity into sort of a spirit like Bob. It would be good for Harry.
2. Something scary is going on in the white court.
Lara trying to get more control sounds a lot like Lord Wraith's modus operandi to me. Could it be that Lord Wraith is infected with Nemesis? It would be very scary if it does. Lara may be under Nemesis's control if not infected outright.

Everything points to the fact that she is not infected. Lara is the combination of a monster and a human monster, she is completely in sync with her hunger. But the hunger is not that smart and the human intelligence and mindset is still important. Her goals are that of a human monster. She wants power, influence, control.
Not that different from daddy really but daddy was made impotent and all his energy was directed at staying in power. Lara solved that problem and can now direct her attention out wards.
And Lara is smarter than daddy, more adaptable and prepared to use unorthodox methods like hiring efficient people in stead of using mindless thrals.
The government is a logical target. I do not see anything strange about Lara's actions.
There are several reasons why we think Lara is not infected for now and they have all been mentioned earlier in another thread:
The white court coup (nemesis tried to take over and failed)
The ritual in cold days (Lara disrupted one. If she was infected she would have found an excuse not to)
Maeve wanted to infect Justine to get to Lara
And yes, Lara's nature has not changed.

Yep.
OZ:
I am very eager to read this one. Molly has long been one of my favorite characters both for her sense of humor and her undying loyalty.

So far, everything is as you said above, but think about it. Lord Wraith is a very juicy target for Nemesis's infestation. Honestly, I couldn't even think of any other character that is more suited.
Think of the disaster and Mayhem it would cause!
Other character that I think Butcher would turn into Nemesis's pawn probably would be: Elaine, one of Murphy's extended family (hopefully her ex husband), Hellen beckit, and Fix the summer knight.
I didn't put the likes of Thomas, Molly or Murphy because Jim have the tendency not to touch the true main characters and I don't mention any other nameless characters like some unknown members of the white council because like Peabody they are not important until they got some screentime.
Oh yeah, brownnose Rudolf is a good Nemesis's pawn too.
on a different note, considering that Kincaid fails to deliver on the favor Harry asked of him, namely killing Harry, does it mean Harry can still call on the debt?
