About this book
“It isn’t easy to write a protagonist that blends the best qualities of Anita Blake and Stephanie Plum, but Kim Harrison carries it off with style. This is a fun book! Read it!”
— Jim Butcher, 1 New York Times Bestselling Author
In the Hollows, the vampires come out to play… and it’s always witching hour.
The first book in 1 New York Times bestselling author Kim Harrison’s Hollows series. Read by award-winning narrator Marguerite Gavin!
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—and it’s Rachel Morgan’s job to keep that world civilized.
A bounty hunter and a witch with serious sex appeal and an attitude, she’ll bring ’em back alive, dead . . . or undead.

‘Dead Witch Walking’ is the inaugural entry to The Hallows series by author Kim Harrison and one of my earliest introductions to urban fantasy when it was initially released in 2004. I remember impatiently waiting for the next book each year and then staying up late reading and re-reading the stories about Rachel, a witch in Cincinnati who earns a living as a runner – part bounty hunter, part private detective – and constant trouble magnet. Then in 2014, the original series finished with Book...

I'm ashamed to admit this is the first book I've read by Kim Harrison. It certainly won't be my last. Any fan of fantasy, especially urban fantasy, will like this first book in the Hollows series. It's a great blend of our modern world mixed with a fantastical \"what if\". What if bioengineering went horribly wrong and wiped out half the population on earth, allowing the vampires and witches and other fantastical creatures an entry into society? Why, governmental bureaucracy and death threats...

Summary Rachel Morgan is a runner with the Inderland Runner Services, apprehending law-breakers throughout Cincinnati. She's also a witch, one of the many Inderlanders who revealed themselves after a genetically engineered virus wiped out 50 percent of humanity. Witches, warlocks, vampires, werewolves: the creatures of dreams and nightmares have lived beside humans for centuries, hiding their powers. But now they've stopped hiding, and nothing will be the same. On the run with a contract on her...

I absolutely loved this one. First of the main characters are a fantastic mix of paranormals. They are all, well the good characters, very likeable and you really feel yourself cheering for Rachel especially. It seems like she doesn't catch a break, but she is a strong character who doesn't complain, just tries to figure out a way to fix things. Given, often these are not fully thought through, but she doesn't give up and nothing deters her, making her a very strong character. I adore some of...

I vacillated between giving this a 2 or a 3 star, and gave it 3 to be nice. To place myself in readership, I'm a big fan of Harris, Briggs, and Butcher (Dresden) but gave up on Hamilton after 'Obsidian Butterfly.' After having read a great many of the reviews on this book, I suspect the five star reviewers have a personal stake in this book somehow and are rating the well-written, critical, lower-starred reviews poorly on purpose. I've seen it happen to other books reviewed on Amazon. I'm...
