[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. The FIB (the human led agency dealing with X-Files) want her to go undercover as a ley line student to spy on a professor. 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 […]
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. As reading more books is a better move for any cannonball participant, I switched over to Dead Witch Walking ASAP. We’re introduced to a leather clad Rachel Morgan on a Leprechaun stake out in a seedy Cincinnati bar. She’s a white earth witch who relies on her wits and if all else fails […]
What if Sam Winchester didn’t have a brother?
This review contains minor spoilers for the book. Nothing big, but if you like to approach a book completely blank, you may want to skip this. Like his father before him, Cas Lowood travels around the country and lays restless and malevolent ghosts to rest. He and his Wiccan mother rarely stay in one place for too long, and Cas makes very sure not to get too attached to any of the locals, as he’s just going to pack up and leave as soon as […]
Oberon the wolfhound is my favourite character
I’m sorry, but if I’m ever going to reach my double Cannonball, I’m going to have to cut corners somewhere: Atticus O’Sullivan, last of the Druids, lives peacefully in Arizona, running an occult bookshop and shape-shifting in his spare time to hunt with his Irish wolfhound. His neighbours and customers think that this handsome, tattooed Irish dude is about twenty-one years old, when in actuality, he’s twenty-one centuries old. Not to mention: he draws his power from the earth, possesses a sharp wit, and wields […]
