Yes! Wonderful!

After the last few books in this series I was only really continuing to read because I like the characters so much. But with this addition to the Rachel Morgan series not only was I impressed, I was delighted at how good it was. so many unexpected twists and turns I never could guess what was happening next. By the end I was screaming "OMG ! When's the next one?!"

Many depths -- and all so delicious

I like this series enormously, because I love the main character and I especially love the demons: no little foot-stamping fire-breathing horned homunculi, these; no, these are immortal, intelligent, horridly efficient beings that have very specific goals and go about trying to accomplish them -- and god help you if you get in their way. The nice thing about this series is that's exactly how Rachel is, and it makes for great conflict whenever she gets into it with the demons -- which is pretty much every book, except the first one and the one with the werewolves (Which are both pretty demony, too, come to think). But the best part about this character and these books is that they focus on the dark part of dark fantasy/paranormal romance, which is often the most interesting part, and yet nowhere in these books does the main character revel in her own angst and Weltschmertz, or demean other people for not understanding the darkness in her soul; she has had to work hard to recognize her dark side as just -- dark. Not evil, necessarily. And as I have watched the character come to terms with this, it has felt like watching an actual person learn to accept themselves for who they are. It has made me sympathetic, and kept me fascinated, through all six books.

In this one, Rachel just goes right ahead and becomes a demon. Well, not really, but she realizes that she has more in common with demons, in some ways, than with witches, and the full secret of her parentage and the magical inheritance, and the future consequences of her inheritance and what Trent's father did to her, finally come out. It's a great reveal, made even better by how badly Trent deals with it and with Rachel. I've had trouble with Trent in the past, because I've always felt that Rachel's hatred of him was unreasoning in some way; sure, he is a murderer and a drug dealer -- but come on. She lives with, and is in love with, a living vampire who was scion to the most evil being in these books -- and I include the demons in that statement. Nobody compares to Piscary, and Ivy did horrible things when she was in his thrall; certainly worse than what Trent has done building his criminal empire. And Trent's crimes are offset by the amount of good he does -- Ivy's crimes are only offset by her protection of Rachel. So I can see the personal attachment to the murderer who keeps you alive and loves you, no problem there -- but why so much bile for the murderer who kept you alive in the past? Anyway, in this book, Trent not only acts like a complete doofus, but he pulls an incredibly crappy move, selling Rachel out, only because he's too stupid to recognize the consequences of what he says. And this guy has the gall to shy away from both Rachel and Ceri because of the demon smut on their souls. Bah.

Jenks is still the best character, and I love Bis, the new gargoyle, who I hope will play a much bigger role in the next one. This one was great as always -- and a really nice resolution to the demon issue, though there is still more to tell, of course. And please, please, let the whole Ivy-bloodsucking-sex thing be done with. Pretty please.

Enchanting Reviews: The Outlaw Demons Wails

THE OUTLAW DEMON WAILS
KIM HARRISON

Rating: 5 Enchantments

Rachel Morgan is a smut covered, demon-calling, Vamp-loving, honorary Alpha-Were, friend of a Pixie, Running Witch. Or is she? When all that this witchy Witch holds near and dear is questioned: who she is, where she came from, is she possessed or obsessed with Demon calling - not to mention the misty memories of who killed her Vampire-boyfriend, Kisten, who can blame ones faulty facilities when you've a Demon hell bent for your blood? Because just like Brimstone, the answers fade in the rush of adrenalin-induced fear.

With the return of Rachel, Jenks, Ivy and the rest of this All-Star cast of Fey-alistic ne'er-do-wells, Kim Harrison brings the Hollows back to life once more. This time with riveting action, intense drama and a few unexpected twist and turns. Each page leads to "just five more minutes" then "ok, just one more chapter." And before you know it, you've stayed up half the night just to get to the next scene.

I was completely captivated once again. Delighted to see the addition of a few unknowns and am stoked and waiting impatiently to see where the next storyline takes us. Please, please, Ms. Harrison, don't make us wait so long.

Kim Harrison keeps on getting better and better!

I love this genre! I resisted reading Kim Harrison's series, but finally gave in. Read all six books in a week. Ms. Harrison's writing gets better as the plot gets more and more twisted. Great character development and followup. A very addicting series. Can't wait until the next one comes out...

Really Glad I bought this book

After reading the last book I was debating on whether or not I was going to buy this one. I am pleased that I followed my gut and got it. I was completely thrown by the turn of events and the story line really held me. I wanted to skip to the end just to find out what was going to happen but, I was good and I read the whole thing :) Shocks and twists at every turn and shocking revelations that made you say "OMG No Way!) what more can a girl as for.

Although I know many people may disagree with me but, I think that Rachel and Ivy would be great together. Rachel loves her more than she realises and I think that she is scared about her feelings because, this is something new for her. Ivy will love her no matter what and she will always stand in her corner and let her make her own decisions even when she doesn't agree. Marshall is a nice guy but I doubt that he will ever accept the lifestyle that Rachel has or the the job that is constantly putting her in danger.
