Pale Demon by Kim Harrison

Pale Demon (Hollows, #9)

by Kim Harrison

A stirring instalment of the urban fantasy-thriller series starring Rachel Morgan. A pacey and addictive novel of sexy bounty-hunting witches, cunning demons and vicious vampires.

Condemned and shunned for black magic, Rachel Morgan has three days to get to the annual witches' conference and clear her name, or be trapped in the demonic ever-after . . . forever after.

But a witch, an elf, a living vampire, and a pixy in one car going across the country? Talk about a recipe for certain disaster, even without being the targets for assassination.

For after centuries of torment, a fearsome demon walks in the sunlight - freed at last to slay the innocent and devour their souls. But his ultimate goal is Rachel Morgan, and in the fight for survival that follows, even embracing her own demonic nature may not be enough to save her.

I really enjoyed this book. It is one of the best of the series (definitely the best since Kisten's Death). It is fast paced and hard to predict. You get to see new sides to Pierce, Trent and Al. You even get to spend more time with Newt (who seems almost stable in several parts of the book). There is also a new demon that you meet. I will say that this book is a cliffhanger, but I can barely wait for the next book. I want to see where Rachel goes next. There are a lot of changes in her life in this book and she has options at the end that she has not had in a while (if ever, really).
