White Witch, Black Curse (The Hollows, Book 7)

“The world of the Hollows is fast-moving, funny, harrowing, and scary, and—the greatest compliment to a fantasy—absolutely real.”
New York Times bestselling author Diana Gabaldon

 

Kim Harrison is a New York Times-bestselling phenomenon, in the superstar pantheon along with Laurel K. Hamilton and Charlaine Harris of Sookie Stackhouse fame. Return to “the Hollows” in White Witch, Black Curse, as tough-as-nails bounty hunter witch Rachel Morgan seeks vengeance for the death of her lover among the creatures of the night. Indeed, Charlaine Harris herself has nothing but praise for Harrison’s peerless protagonist, promising, “You’re going to love this bounty hunter!” White Witch, Black Curse is contemporary dark fantasy at its electrifying best.

I'm going through the Hollows series pretty quickly, reading the Kindle ebook versions rather than listening, as I did the first time through. And I keep forgetting to update Goodreads when I finish the next book, so I don't actually recall when I finished it or what I can say that's specifically about the part of the story that happens in this book. Not very helpful, I'm afraid, but I can say that as much as I love the voice of the narrator for the audio versions, I'm getting a LOT more out of the books by reading, esp. the little details and subtle shifts in moods.

Better than the last book. I had started to kind of get bored with the series, but this one was pretty darn good.

Have I mentioned that I really like this series?

Rachel Morgan, a witch, is back with Ivy, a living vampire, and Jenks, a pixy. They make up Vampiric Charms. Last we knew Rachel had forgotten everything about Kisten's death (Kisten being her vampire boyfriend) because Jenks doused her with a forget spell to keep her from getting killed.

A few witches and demons from past books come along for some rides in this one. But we do get a new demon that we've not encountered before: a banshee! Those are some nasty little demons. Al returns with his usual flair. The church has a ghost. And in the end, Rachel DOES remember what happened to Kisten.

This one was a really entertaining book. They seem to keep getting better.
