American Demon

June 16, 2020

Well if there were ever the perfect occasion to dust off the old blog, this is it!! It’s been six years since we said “see you later” to Rachel and the gang, but that later is NOW and I am so glad to have The Hollows back. It was my flagship series for many years and honestly when the series ended, I was feeling a bit of urban fantasy burnout? I also went to get a masters degree so I had to table reading for fun for a few years and it never really quite picked back up to what it used to be even...

Not only does the main character get arcs of growth throughout the series but so do her many friends. I don't have much to say negative about this series except that for one as powerful as the main character, it just seems like certain things that irk her are just filler. In 14 books with repeated vamp...

Like others, I thought the series ended with the last book. Was delighted to see Kim Harrison wrote another book in the series. This fits between the end of previous book and the epilogue in that same book. At first a bit confusing, but Rachel alludes to elements in the epilogue through dreams she's having. I love the main characters in the series. And really enjoyed the new demon introduced in this book. Some things are the same while other relationships and situations have shifted and...
