Dead Witch Walking

All the creatures of the night gather in "the Hollows" of Cincinnati, to hide, to prowl, to party ... and to feed. Vampires rule the darkness in a predator-eat-predator world rife with dangers beyond imagining â?? and it's Rachel Morgan'sjob to keep that world civilized. A bounty hunter and witch with serious sex appeal and an attitude, she'll bring 'em back alive, dead ... or undead.

The Good, the Bad, and the Undead

It's a tough life for witch Rachel Morgan, sexy, independent bounty hunter, prowling the darkest shadows of downtown Cincinnati for criminal creatures of the night. She can handle the leather-clad vamps and even tangle with a cunning demon or two. But a serial killer who feeds on the experts in the most dangerous kind of black magic is definitely pressing the limits. Confronting an ancient, implacable evil is more than just child's play â?? and this time, Rachel will be lucky to escape with her very soul.

Every Which Way But Dead

Rachel Morgan's back! Bestselling author Kim Harrison returns with a new supernatural adventure that fans of Laurell K. Hamilton and Charlaine Harris won't want to miss. Some days, you just can't win. Witch and former bounty hunter Rachel Morgan's managed to escape her corrupt company, survive living with a vampire, start her own runner service, and face down a vampire master. But her vampire roommate Ivy is off the wagon, her human boyfriend Nick is out of town indefinitely and doesn't sound like he's coming back while the far-too-seductive vampire Kisten is looking way too tempting, and there's a turf war erupting in Cincinnati's underworld. And there's a greater evil still. To put the vampire master behind bars and save her family, Rachel made a desperate bargain and now there's hell to payâ??literally. For if Rachel cannot stop him, the archdemon Algaliarept will pull her into the sorcerous ever-after to forfeit her soul as his slave. Forever.

A Fistful of Charms

The evil night things that prowl Cincinnati despise witch and bounty hunter Rachel Morgan. Her new reputation for the dark arts is turning human and undead heads alike with the intent to possess, bed, and kill her â?? not necessarily in that order. Now a mortal lover who abandoned Rachel has returned, haunted by his secret past. And there are those who covet what Nick possesses â?? savage beasts willing to destroy the Hollows and everyone in it if necessary. Forced to keep a low profile or eternally suffer the wrath of a vengeful demon, Rachel must nevertheless act quickly. For the pack is gathering for the first time in millennia to ravage and to rule. And suddenly more than Rachel's soul is… (plus d'informations)

Fun urban fantasy - somewhat dark and intense but well balanced. Vampires, Weres, pixies and a limited number of others have always existed as a minority within humanity but an invent called the Turn 40 years ago when a genetically engineered virus decimated human numbers, allowed them out of the dark and society changed for ever.

Rachel Morgan is a witch (non-human) and the first books sees her abandoning a civil service career to start her own company as a 'runner' finding felons and anyone else that needs finding. She has a few unique abilities that become apparent as the series progresses without overly distorting her capabilities. There's a lot of interplay between her and her housemates - a temperamental vampire Ivy and a high-strung pixie called Jenks. Together in harmony they're a great team, but are often at cross purposes.

The world building is consistent which is something I highly value in UF, it may not be fully thought through, but Harrison accepts any limitations she instigated in the first books. The magic is sufficiently detailed to be interesting, but not overdone, and has consequences preventing overuse (or underuse, and other common UF failing Harrison avoids). The interactions with the demons and Were will prove to give the series a long-running back-bone rather than just one-off episodes, unlike Rachel's turbulent love life. Sensitive readers may want to skip a few sections, and it occasionally proves tedious whilst providing some of the motivation for the side-characters.

I'll gradually pick up the rest of them I expect ( )
