![]() ![]() You’ll see some new tricks, worry about Al and see growth in Rachel. The pacing and build up make it unputdownable. We’ll learn a little more about Rachel and Trent’s childhood, enjoy some tender moments, and kick some ass. Harrison gave us quite the tale and tied it to previous characters and circumstances. Not to mention a bombshell that was dropped at the end of the book. After all, you’ll want to know about the tomatoes, the relationships, Rachel and more. For new readers, I recommend starting from the beginning. As always, I slipped right into the story and was delighted to see Trent, Jenks, Al, Ivy, and all the characters I love in this series. Never a dull moment for this witchy demon. She’ll have to save her spelled friend, unlock a curse and stop the Mage from framing her before the DC vampires come to reclaim the city. However, all of this will pale in comparison when wolves and a Mage come into town. She has a mouse living in her church and cannot access Holden’s quarters. I received a review copy of this book from Berkley Publishing Group and Penguin Random House Audio.Īfter the events of Trouble with the Cursed, Rachel is still having troubles with jumping ley lines. ![]() The ending of the book has left me very eager to see what might happen next! This is a group of characters of very likable characters that have grown on me over the course of the series. I would definitely recommend this series to others. ![]() I do believe that her narration only heightened my enjoyment of this book. I find her voice incredibly pleasant to listen to and had no problems listening to this book for hours at a time. She has become the voice of these characters over the course of the series and I love how consistent she is with the various voices. I listened to the audiobook and thought that Marguerite Gavin did a great job of bringing this story to life. There was plenty of action and enough mystery to keep things really exciting in this installment. I was confident that Rachel would be able to work things out in the end but it didn’t look good for a while. And the vampires are threatening to send in a new master vamp. Rachel is framed for the murder of an important coven member. The werewolf community is at odds and certain individuals will stop at nothing to get their hands on the focus. It seemed like Rachel was in the middle of trouble every time she turned around in this book. This is the seventeenth book in The Hollows series which really should be read in order since each book builds on the preceding events. This installment was just as exciting as I had hoped it would be which kept me glued to the pages. Trouble always seems to find Rachel and there is someone determined to get their hands on the focus and “The Mage” is causing trouble at every turn. This was fantastic!

So yes, very nice story with high stakes for some of the people in here and rather wonderful magic. Just like her relationship with "uncle Al" is blossoming (yes, it's adorable how he is with Lucy and Rae). Well, it looks like she's coming into her own now, and in creative ways to boot. I always thought she was too squeamish when it came to teaching those that wanted her friends and family dead a lesson. I also enjoyed Rachel's further development, character-wise. I can't quite decide what I liked best: the all-out baddies or the bureaucrats trying to capitalize on a bad situation instead of working with Rachel for everyone's benefit. Sure, the comfy relationship between Rachel and Trent is nice as well, especially when now taking into account the two girls, too, but it's always been the supporting characters that are my favorites.Īnd the baddies were superb here. It was soooo nice seeing Jinx and Biss again. The problem is that they have magical help from a mysterious mage. Turns out, those crazy weres are not above killing their own kind and their leader REALLY hates Rachel. But not all is well in the town after she has vanquished Al's brother because suddenly some weres go completely nuts and the witch council is nagging her (threatening with locking her up in Alcatraz again) and Rachel's friends are being targeted.
