4.5 stars This is book five in a series, and most definitely not the best place to start. Begin with Dead Witch Walking, and possibly skip this review if you don’t want spoilers for earlier books in the series. There are dead werewolf women turning up in the morgue, apparently having committed suicide. Someone else appears to be murdering werewolves after keeping them tied up, and after some investigation, independent runner and calamity-prone witch Rachel Morgan is pretty sure she knows what the connection between […]
My least favourite book of the entire series
Spoiler warning! This is the fourth book in an ongoing series, and not the place to start reading. Dead Witch Walking is where you want to begin. Also, there will be plot spoilers in this review, so if you want to avoid that sort of thing, don’t click the link to read the rest on my blog. Rachel Morgan, witch for hire, discovers that her ex-boyfriend Nick Sparagmos wasn’t just a part-time librarian with a knack for demon summoning, but in fact a thief, specialising […]
Double-crossing demons is dangerous
4.5 stars This is book three in a series. This review will contain spoilers for previous books in the series, so if you mind that sort of thing, skip this, and start at the beginning, with Dead Witch Walking. Never one to live a quiet life, Rachel Morgan, independent witch for hire is in trouble. She successfully took down the master vampire who was summoning demons to murder leyline witches and lived to tell the tale. She had to bargain with a demon in order […]
Chasing serial killers in Cincinnati
4.5 stars This is book 2 in a series. You’d be better off starting with Dead Witch Walking. Rachel Morgan has successfully paid off the IS death threat and is in her third month of working as an independent runner. She still doesn’t have a car, however, and hates relying on public transport or rides from friends to get around. She’s also struggling to pay her bills from month to month, so when a werewolf pack refuses to pay her for snatching their pet fish […]
A witch, a vampire and a pixie walk into a bar
Rachel Morgan is an earth witch (which means she uses wooden charms activated with drops of her own blood to do magic, as opposed to layline witches who draw their power from laylines) and works for the IS (Inderland Security), a police force consisting of supernaturals like witches, living vampires, werewolves, fairies and pixies. They police the supernatural crimes, while the FIB (Federal Inderland Bureau) is its mundane, human counterpart. For the last year, Rachel has had a run of truly awful assignments and what […]
Don’t expect a happy ending to this one
Spoiler warning! I found it impossible to review this book without revealing plot details that would probably be considered spoilery, so if you like to start a book without knowing much, probably skip this review. Also, this book is a PREQUEL, best read after you finish the full thirteen book series by Kim Harrison. As of me writing this, the first book is on sale for $2.99. In a world where humans are the dominant species, they are fully unaware that there are a number […]
