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 […]
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.

Kim Harrison finishes a series and I finish my double Cannonball
This is the thirteenth and final book in the Hollows series, and as such, a really very stupid place to start reading. Start at the beginning with Dead Witch Walking.

Rachel Morgan’s life hasn’t exactly been peaceful since she decided to become an independent runner and start her own business with her vampire friend Ivy and the pixy Jenks. […]
Fewer demons, more elves in this one
This book is book 12 and the penultimate in The Hollows series, with several story lines that have been building throughout the series. It’s absolutely NOT the place to start. If you haven’t read these, start with Dead Witch Walking. Frankly, if you don’t know the series, you’d probably be best just skipping this review. Rachel is working security for Trent while Quen is on the West Coast. Despite her many former misgivings about working for and with the billionaire, she’s been enjoying herself, possibly a bit too […]
