[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, […]
This series is awesome.
This isn’t going to be a great critical review, I’m sorry to say. I really enjoyed this book and I feel that it’s a perfect addition to an already stellar series, which I raved about in one of my earlier CBR6 reviews. Goodreads summary: “As the mate of the Beast Lord, Curran, former mercenary Kate Daniels has more responsibilities than it seems possible to juggle. Not only is she still struggling to keep her investigative business afloat, she must now deal with the affairs of the […]
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 […]
Witches, Vampires, Werewolves … and Celtic Mythology.
Second in this excellent urban fantasy series, author/couple Ilona Andrews gives us lots to chew on in Magic Burns. Part-time mercenary and part-time investigator/warrior for the merciless Order of Merciful Aid, Kate Daniels is asked to rescue some important survey maps for the shapeshifter alliance known as The Pack, and in the process comes smack up against two colliding Celtic gods and their minions who are hoping to re-enter—and re-take—the world during a rare magic flare, which is described as a “magic tsunami. “ Alone […]
This review is of dubious value to the forces of Light
Target: Sergei Lukyanenko’s New Watch. Translated by Andrew Bromfield (The Watches pentalogy #5) Profile: Modern Fantasy, Suspense, Horror Sergei Lukyanenko ostensibly drew his Watches series to a conclusion with Last Watch, but almost six years later he released a fifth book. New Watch is a very different kind of novel than its predecessors. It draws inspiration from other contemporary and urban fantasies, most notably the Harry Potter series. There is a greater emphasis on the mechanics of the world’s magic system, answering some questions from previous novels, but shifting […]
