A magical freelance consultant makes poor life choices while dealing with vampires, demons and the police. There's a murder mystery too, but it's peripheral to the protagonist's relationship issues. The plot is unbelievable but the characters and situations are fun. ( )

I figured out the Trent thing in the last book...
I'm sad about the whole Nick ordeal.
And really upset about Ivy ( )

I give this about 4 1/2 stars. I love Urban Fantasy. I admit the first book was a bit cumbersome, but i liked and realized that everything was based on the world created in the first book.
This is the second book and the story continues. Rachel Morgan and her friends Jenks the pixy and Ivy the Vamp getting all worked up in Cincinnati. She learns more about her history and her father. Her mother is introduced and some other Inderlanders. Rachel like in the first book gets in to trouble.....
No spoilers here. You want to know more, you gotta read it.
It is quite fast paced story, totally Urban fantasy and very little PNR (which i like). I can only recommend it. Kim Harrisons writing style reminds me a lot of Kaylana Price. Good strong characters and story line. ( )

I enjoyed the book even more than the first one. Kim Harrison has a great voice and writes interesting characters, who often make poor choices. Great humor throughout.

Kim Harrison is the Janet Evanovich of urban fantasy. Her Hollows series, which began in 2004 with Dead Witch Walking, has had regular additions that routinely give their readers exactly what they want: sex, violence, spell casting and potion mixing, and a version of Cincinnati that is replete with witches, vampires, and snarky pixies. The novels profit from being read in order, but they do OK as standalones. In this one, Earth witch Rachel Morgan dabbles in black magic, has to do a lot of informal therapy on her vampire roommate, and save the Hollows of Cincinnati from a dark arts serial killer. Her usual day at the office. 4 stars. ( )
