Here's the thing: they /couldn't/ have infected Ivy. If they did, the world would be SCREWED. Ivy can deseminate information about all the Old Ones ever written. She could make so many 7th Lawbreakers that the Council wouldn't know what to do with them. And of course, she could have killed Harry like /this/.

Nemesis, though, isn't *banking* on only one entity to bring Empty Night in. In all likelihood, it's going to sit inside the higher level beings it infects (through the exchanges of power and promises that tend to go hand-in-hand with making it to the top of the supernatural hierarchy) until such a time as it is best placed to bring most of the Outside Inside. (Assuming that's the motivation it has.)
It would do far better to simply start wiping out those who are responsible for removing the information about its allies. I suspect the Venators are about to get hit, and HARD.
Think about how most of mortality started treating Stoker's book a few decades after it was written. Hollywood all but bastardized the thing with Twilight. Getting information out is important- getting it to the right people is even more so.
Edit: I also suspect that the reason the Winter Knight mantle messed with Harry's emotions and thoughts as much as it did during Cold Days was because Harry picked up the Nemesis infection pretty early on in the series. Nemesis is what allowed Lash to come into her own as an individual entity.
pharthead:
Remember what Titania said to Harry is CD. She was not attacking Harry because she is an idiot. She is attacking Harry because Summer functions on emotions, and Harry just killed her daughter. Also, SmF is the book in which Harry gains the respect of eldest Gruff, therefore he couldn't have counseled Titania with reason before SmF.
Titania has motivation and reason to kill Harry, Mab making Harry her emissary which gives Titania the opportunity.

--- Quote ---“Thanks,” I said. I dragged out the heavy plastic storage box. It was filled with books, most of them leather-bound, handwritten treatises on various supernatural topics. Except for one book that was a compilation of “Calvin and Hobbes” comic strips. How had that gotten in there?

I'm not really sure why she did that. Probably to tell him he was the winter emissary.

I was thinking that Mab was trying to warn Harry. She can't move openly against an order that Maeve has made, but if she can move her own pieces behind the scenes...
The book might not mean anything to Harry, but it might have put hobs on the mind of id!Harry
