Up to now I’ve been reviewing The Hollows series in chunks, because they’ve been so hard to put down, and have these multi book arcs that made made 3 or 4 book clusters make sense. But, book 9, Pale Demon, is such a game changer that I’m going to review it on it’s own, and Black Magic Sanction will have to go unreviewed. If you haven’t read the previous 8 books, don’t start here. Spoilers! When Pale Demon opens, Rachel has been shunned by the […]
Escape from Werewolf Island
[Beware of MILD SPOILERS from previous books] A Fistful of Charms is the fourth book in The Hollows series. Rachel survived her demon dilemma by making a deal with a rival demon named Newt. At least, she’s got her soul and back to only one demon mark. Her romance is progressing with Kisten, albeit a bit dangerously as she refuses to let him bite her. Meanwhile, Ivy still yearns for Rachel to accept her blood rites and friendship. This witch is caught in a blood triangle with […]
Deals with demons rarely end well…
Mild Spoiler Alert: If you haven’t read the previous 2 books (or my reviews) of The Hollows series by Kim Harrison, this review might give you some unwanted information. However I will try to keep it to a minimum! Rachel Morgan has a demon mark and made a deal to become a demon’s familiar. In exchange, she received the demon’s testimony in court to put away an evil vampire kingpin in jail. Way to start a book with a lot of impossible hurdles for your character, […]
There is a lot going on in these books. Makes for good reading.
It is really hard to write about the Hollows books individually. It would probably be easier if I weren’t marathoning them like all 7 seasons of Buffy, but I am, so it’s hard. If you like urban fantasy, and you haven’t read this series, you should. The Hollows is an area of alternate universe Cincinnati populated Interlanders – Non-humans or former humans who have emerged into the open after a tomato born plague almost wipes out humanity. There will be spoilers, but I’ll keep them […]
Rachel Morgan: A Good Witch & Tough as Nails Bounty Hunter
Whilst perusing the sci-fi/fantasy section of my library, I stumbled across the 2nd book in Kim Harrison’s Hollows series. Absentmindedly, I was half way through it before realizing it wasn’t the introductory book. As reading more books is a better move for any cannonball participant, I switched over to Dead Witch Walking ASAP. We’re introduced to a leather clad Rachel Morgan on a Leprechaun stake out in a seedy Cincinnati bar. She’s a white earth witch who relies on her wits and if all else fails […]
The Moment I Fell in Love (with a series)
I love paranormal and urban fantasy. No matter how many times I get burned I keep going back to the well. I will even keep going with a series until I reach a point of self loathing – please see last year’s review of this series. Kim Harrison’s The Hollows series came recommended by the lovely Malin, and when Malin makes a recommendation, you should at least give it a try. Malin’s recommendation came shortly before the final book of the series was published. I […]
