This was a good book for fans of the Rachel Morgan series and I highly recommend to to you fans out there. I am really looking forward to it – can’t wait to see what new trouble Rachel gets into.

All of this serves to give us a very fun story and is setting the stage for Book 6, The Outlaw Demon Wails, coming in hardcover 26 Feb 08 (terrific excerpt up on Harrison’s site, just click on the title). We get a glimpse of a new, sexy demon named Minias and let me just say that I’ll never quite look at my sneezing attacks in the same way again. We get some tantalizing glimpses into the politics of the whole demon ever-after. We get to know quite a bit more about the elf, Trent, and his second, Quen. I really liked all of the secondary characters in this book. I won’t give any spoilers other than what I have already, so forgive the vague wording. This one is no different, even with the tragedy. None of the books have had an HEA, strictly speaking, though they all end on a somewhat upbeat note, even if the characters are all very changed by the events. Rachel Morgan books are not a typical romances – they are paranormal fantasies set in an alternate reality. Lastly, buying an expensive hardcover of a book in the middle of a series you’ve never read may not be the smartest thing to do but to then be irritated that you don’t understand all of the plot points or the characters is a bit simple-minded. None of those things bothered me. To begin with, brave authors take plots and characters to unpredictable and sometimes undesirable places and I think they’re allowed to do that, applaud it, in fact. There are others new to the series who were irritated that this book didn’t stand-alone they felt cheated that an expensive hardcover wasn’t readable on its own.

There have been some people decrying the fact that one of the main characters is killed off in this book they felt cheated that an expensive hardcover rattled their Rachel-world. This book was released in hardcover (the author’s HC debut) 20 Mar 07 and in mass-market paperback 27 Nov 07.

The reader just has to know what happens next. And that is what makes these such page-turners, despite the flaws. It rolls unpredictably, jarringly, inexorably along.

That’s the one thing I really like about these books – the plot moves. Despite this, Harrison manages to work the characters thru these moments and the plot actually ends up moving along because of them, not in spite of them. There are many TSTL moments in a Rachel Morgan book. I care about the characters, enjoy the action and predicaments, but I want to throw the book at the wall regularly when a character (usually Rachel) does something stupid. My relationship with the Rachel Morgan books is complicated.
