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 […]
The one where Rachel embraces her dark side
Black Magic Sanction has Rachel Morgan once again up to her pretty ears in trouble for the eighth go round. This time her deadbeat thief ex-boyfriend, Nick, has ratted her out to the witch council. They now want to sterilize her or imprison her to prevent her demon blood seeping back into the witch population.

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 […]
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, […]
Witch Serial Killer on the Loose in Cincinnatti
The Good, The Bad and The Undead has Rachel Morgan gunning for that slippery Trent Kalamack again. Someone is butchering ley line witches all over town.

Morgan isn’t having any of it, convinced Trent is behind it as his secretary’s witch boyfriend disappeared. In typical fashion, the FIB boss warns her off that line of questioning. He saddles her with his […]
