Rating  - Keeps getting better
Rarely do series keep me coming back after this many sequels, but Kim Harrison keeps improving on her writing and character development. I find myself ever more eager for her next release.
Rating - Kim harrison is the Bomb!!
Each book in the series gets bettet and better but this one blew my mind I Could Not Stop Reading It. Kim harrison knows just how to hook you right from the beggining and leave you drooling for more at the end! The only thing that could be better is maybe the dialogue I dont think it stood out enough and it was a little to repetative.. I cannot wait for the next installment in the series!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rating - I love this series. Possible spoilers!!
Rachel's story gets better and better with each book.
I have to admit I was convinced I would hate this book because of the loss of Kisten's character. But I actually loved it.
In this book things happen and characters go places.
I loved Trent in the book than I have in any other. He is interesting and I like to read about him. Marshal is good to have around too (though no one will ever be as cool as Kisten.) I thought Ivy was a bit boring this book, same old sulking, hungry, self loathing vampire she always is and I cannot wait until Harrison cracks that character wide open. Ivy has a lot to offer, it just wasn't up for grabs as much in this book.
I sort of felt like Rachel's mom and whole family history thing was kind of out of left field. I wish there would have been more about it in the previous books so that the plot twist didn't feel as force fed as it was. (Though it's been a while since I read the older books.) But I loved it anyways.
I think the demon developments in this book are exciting and as always, interesting. The rules of the demon world, the rules of ley lines, the rules of the family tree of the super natural are really well thought/written out. Al is a very unique character- while he's repulsive morally (being a demon and all) I enjoy reading about his goings on in the ever after. It's a well crafted world that is convincing and Al I think is a very developed character.
One other thing I want to mention about this book is the reality of death Harrison touched on. For once it wasn't a "If I die oh well, but I'm sure I'll make it" kind of mission Rachel went on. It was a "Oh shucks I could really die doing this." Like, her little flaw of craving danger is sort of crumbling and the adventures feel realer now that Rachel isn't portrayed as reckless. Also the fact that she can't leave her house after dark is a real obstacle that "dealing in demons" presents. I like that she has issues and problems and pains in her neck just like everyone else.
The way Harrison dealt with Rachel's grief for Kisten was actually pretty minimal for such a situation but definitely much more thoughtful than I expected. It wasn't glossed over and it wasn't repetitively angst-y.
I have to get a little Jenks fangirly here and just say he is THE best partner ever invented.
Anyways, this book was a thrill. Harrison is talented and it's a pleasure reading about Rachel's adventures. xD
Rating - Great
This book is a perfect extension of the series. A first time reader would need the previous books but it flows well. A true must for fans.
