The second book in the New York Times bestselling urban fantasy-thriller series starring sexy bounty hunter and witch, Rachel Morgan. During the last few months, former bounty-hunter Rachel Morgan has been rather busy. Having escaped relatively unscathed from her corrupt former employers, she's not only acquired a vampiric room-mate called Ivy, faced werewolf assassins and battled shape-shifting demons, but has also found the time to pick up a boyfriend (even if he is only human) and open her very own runner agency. But cohabiting with a vampire, however reformed, has its dangers. Ivy's evil vampire ex-boyfriend has decided that he wants her back, and views Rachel as a tasty side-dish. To make matters worse, Rachel's demon mark is the ultimate vamp-aphrodisiac; one that works both ways. The stakes are high, and if Rachel is to save herself and her room mate she must challenge the master vampire and confront the dark secrets she's kept hidden even from herself.
This book was much better than the first. I liked the first book but I found it wasn't anything special. In The Good, the Bad, and the Undead we finally get to see the little things that set this series apart from the other urban fantasies. We dive deeper into the different supernatural races and we learn more about this crazy world. I'm actually really looking forward to reading the rest of the series now!
I think Jenks will forever be my favourite character. He's great and adds a little humour into the whole book. I also love that the author incorporates his family in some small scenes which makes them all come to life a little bit more. Rachel is also a great character, though she doesn't think before she does anything. I suppose it makes for a great story but it drives me insane a little. She's finally starting to notice that about herself so hopefully she dials it back from now on. I'm also really interested in the new characters we met in this book! I can't wait to see them more!
The plot was fast paced enough that I didn't want to put the book down. It still could have done with fewer pages because this was a pretty big book. Luckily it's full of action so you don't really need to worry about becoming bored.
