That's pretty much PALE DEMON: an awesome, whirlwind, old- fashioned road trip, something extremely difficult to write well, and this latest installment of The Hollows series succeeds. This is a series that should be read from the start to appreciate the nuances of the relationships of PALE DEMON, but it is all the more effective when read that way. Trust issues, family issues, mythological issues and personal issues abound, but the interplay and emotional drama in no way detracts from the fun and intricacy of the novel.
Book Summary
Banned from the airways, Rachel's options for getting across the country are slim, until she grudgingly agrees to travel with elven tycoon Trent Kalamack, who has his own secret agenda on the West Coast.
Coming along with the duo are Rachel's associates, the living vampire Ivy and Jenks, a pixy...and legions of assassins out to ensure they never reach their destination.
The fun really starts when someone frees a fearsome, day- walking demon from his eternal prison under the Arch in St. Louis. It's been a rough couple of millennia and this soul- devourer is hungry for vengeance...and Rachel is his ultimate prize.
While this powerful witch with nerves of steel will do absolutely anything to stay alive, even embracing her own demonic nature may not be enough to save her.
