Publisher Description
A thrilling return to the #1 New York Times bestselling urban fantasy series, continuing Rachel Morgan's story.
RACHEL MORGAN IS BACK--AND THE HOLLOWS WILL NEVER BE THE SAME.
What happens after you've saved the world? Well, if you're Rachel Mariana Morgan, witch-born demon, you quickly discover that something might have gone just a little bit wrong. That the very same acts you and your friends took to forge new powers may have released something bound by the old. With a rash of zombies, some strange new murders, and an exceedingly mysterious new demon in town, it will take everything Rachel has to counter this new threat to the world--and it may demand the sacrifice of what she holds most dear.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The enjoyable 15th installment to Harrison's the Hollows series picks up shortly after the events of 2014's The Witch with No Name as witch-born demon Rachel Mariana Morgan again confronts supernatural threats to her beloved Cincinnati. An unknown and terrifying creature is stalking both Rachel and her former enemy, elven Trent Kalamack, in their dreams, while in the waking world, Hodin, a mysterious new demon in town, offers Rachel an opportunity to fine-tune her magical abilities. Afraid to sleep, Rachel places her trust in Hodin to help her find a way to defeat a nightmarish foe she can't even touch. Harrison makes a skillful return to her urban fantasy world, recapturing her signature blend of magical mayhem and soap operatics, though the dwindling presence of Rachel's vampire partner, Ivy, suggests a shift in focus as the series evolves. Narrative momentum is disrupted by several lengthy scenes of Rachel exploring her magic with Hodin through elaborately described rituals and slogging metaphysical discussion, but the expansion of magic's possibilities in this universe could spell good things to come. Despite a detailed introductory preface, new readers will likely be lost in the sea of returning faces, but existing fans will be pleased by this promising continuation of the series.
Customer Reviews
Loved the originals
Loved the originals and had a random conversation with one of my employees recently about reading and once we realized we were on the same page in the genre category I recommended this series. Not knowing it had been revived. When looking it up to give her accurate titles etc I learned it had been continued! Loved this first one back and can’t wait to read the others.
Glad this series is back
I was both happy and very sad with the ending in the last book and I’m glad this series has made a resurgence and look forward to the next book in the series. Rachel’s stories are so fascinating and watching her grow as a person through each book has been wonderful.
American Demon
Good story line until I got to page 1325. The pages were blank until 1357. Missed an important part of the book since this was near the end.
