In Harrison's fourth novel, Rachel Morgan, the sassiest, sexiest bounty hunter in Cincinnati, heads north to rescue two friends-in-need. Rachel and her pixy partner, Jenks, make a trip to Michigan to retrieve Jenks' errant son, Jax. Once there, she finds that her ex- Nick could use a helping hand as well. The special butt-kicking kind of help that only Rachel can deliver. Throw Ivy into the mix and you've got a lethal team.

Typical Nick, he not only gets himself but everyone else into big trouble when he steals a valuable artifact and incurs the wrath of an unforgiving pack of Weres. War between the Vamps and Weres looms if things aren't put to right. Rachel, being Rachel, isn't always known for her sound decision-making skills and some of her blunders put the entire not-so-merry little band in danger both physically and emotionally.

Strong relationships and sound story arcs characterize this well-plotted series. Deft character development and continuity from book to book keep readers happy and coming back for more. I always count on an enjoyable trip every time I visit the Hollows, and I haven't been disappointed yet.

Book Summary

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 -- 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 -- 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 at stake.
