If you've read the first 5 books in the series, you know what to expect. If you haven't, don't start here.This volume picks up right after book 5, For a Few Demons More, which includes some shockers that I really don't want to mention here for anyone who hasn't read that one and it makes talking...
The last two stories in this anthology really made this book. Though I like Kim Harrison's writing, her first published short story included here was kind of dry, though Kelley Armstrong's story really rocked. I've included individual reviews for each story below.Undead in the Garden of Good an...

Reviewed by: Rabid Reads3.5 starsWhere to begin . . .I've come to expect a certain kind of action-fueled, intricate, and well-crafted plot from Kim Harrison, and in A Fistful of Charms, the fourth installment of her The Hollows series, the breakneck pace and interconnectedness upheld all of my ex...
It seems that The Hollows is a series that might just be a bit like crack: I don't find it that particularly awesome, and there's a lot about it that I don't in fact like, but overall, it's addictive and hard to stay away from - and dammit, I want more.First, the bad: honestly? Pretty much the sa...
Reviewed by: Rabid ReadsThe Hollows is another one of the first Urban Fantasy series I ever read. The bug had gotten me, but I was still new enough to not really know what was available. I think I was just pursuing every lead Amazon gave me, and that was back in the 3-for-4 paperbacks days, so I ...
Rachel Morgan is legally dead and wearing charmed silver to keep the demons thinking just that. But being dead has its drawbacks in the real world, and in order to get her life back, she agrees to take on a case involving demon magic. Through the investigation and her ties with her friends, she...
Rachel and Trent are getting ever closer to being the couple you really expect them to become. As for Rachel, she is now coming to grips with her "Demon" status. Al is now more of an ally...sort of the "Spike" from Buffy fame minus the intimate relationship with Rachel.There is a new threat out o...
I thought this book was great. However, there is a big turn around in Trent's character. I wouldn't have minded but it was so abrupt and left unexplained. One minute, he is the snobby spoiled and entitled man, the next he is caring. It felt a little too late for me. It just didn't mesh with his p...
I thought this book was great. However, once again, I feel as thought I've been cheated out of Trent's development. I figured he would evolve into a love interest but I was looking forward to his transformation, not his sudden change of character. Him being nice is pleasant and all that but it la...
OkayI liked the action in this installment. Rachel has to be on the west coast for tribunal. Trent has to be on the west coast to retrieve an item Ellsbeth, his former fiancé had if his. Good and action packed, especially our friend JenkSpoilers:Some discordant for me: never is it explained why, ...
Even worse than the first! Poorly edited, little to no plot, and zero resolution at the end. Didn't actually get around to finishing it, but hated the way it was going so I quit reading it.
This is the volume you've been waiting for since "Dead Witch Walking." I cannot begin to explain the way I feel about this series. The Hollows novels got me hooked on Urban Fantasy and I have the bookshelves to prove it. We're finally at that point in the story where each of the characters tha...
Cormel, the Master of Cincinnati, has an ultimatum for our favorite witch demon, Rachel Morgan: find a way to return the souls of the undead vampires, or people she loves will die. Forced into a confrontation with surface demons, wayward elves, angry vampires, mob-mined humans, and a mother hell-...
Ok. Stop. Pause. Rewind.How could Amanda Hocking do this to me? How could she take me through an adventure filled with zombies, adventure and survival and end it on such a cliffhanger? It's like the cruellest form of literary torture!I have heard great things about Hocking's writing from a friend...
