It has taken me three years to circle back to the first book from The Hollows series I found at the library. I unwittingly checked out and read a page from White Witch, Black Curse before realizing it was the seventh in the series! The completist that I am returned it. I finally started with book one in 2014. I’m probably the only one spacing out this series over so many years. 😉 ****Major spoilers for previous books in the series to follow**** Rachel Morgan has been through the […]
More demons, more danger in the Hollows Series
I finally dove back into the Hollows series last month to see what new trouble has found Rachel Morgan. In For a Few Demons More, book five in the series, every supernatural creature is hunting for the ancient artifact from book 4, which of course, Rachel Morgan has hiding in her freezer! Two werewolf packs, Trent Kalamack her elf nemesis and eventually Piscary the vampire boss start sniffing around for this powerful object. While ducking the supernatural power struggle, Morgan is asked to help hunt a serial […]
You’re a trickster singular, Rachel Morgan
At last, I have returned to Rachel Morgan and The Hollows. Thanks to Malin, I was able to cruise through the first 11 books of the series. I find marathoning books just isn’t the same as marathoning tv. I become more immersed in the world of books than tv, and then I feel hungover and a little put off. I tried to read The Undead Pool back in February, but I just couldn’t get into it. It was all me though. So I put it […]
This book is worth falling short of my goal.
I’m not going to make my half Cannonball goal. I tried to power read through Ever After so that I could get through book 12 and reach my Half Cannonball goal, but life got busy and Ever After demanded I pay attention. A lot of gargoyles came to roost and Rachel had more than the usual disaster to sort out. There is a psychotic demon who wants her dead and he wants to kill the Ever After and everyone in it and then dominate Reality with the […]
And now the humans are doing human things :(
This is the 10th book of a 13 book series. Don’t start here. Spoilers. Yadda,yadda. Shit got real and the first half or so of this book was tough for me to get through. I’m glad I’m reading it so close to the end of the year, because I might have picked up something else. Here’s what’s tough for me – torture and cruelty. Fighting kinds of violence don’t bother me much, but torture and deliberate cruelty do. To be fair, there are only […]
Yeah, I was fine. F*cked in Extreme, as Ivy would say.
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 […]
