Fans have fallen for bounty hunter and witch Rachel Morgan. Through banishment and road trips, deadly supernatural duels and lost loves, they have avidly cheered her on, eagerly awaiting the next installment in her adventures. This collection of short works, published together in one volume for the first time, adds a whole new dimension to the Hollows saga, featuring tales involving Rachel and her coterie of friends and enemies. "Untitled" contains original works, including: "Million Dollar Baby" - original novella about what happens when elven tycoon Trent Kalamack and Jenks the pixy team up to rescue Trent's daughter; Spider Web and Grace's Fall - original novelettes set in brand-new fantasy worlds; Here, too, are reprinted short stories, including: "Undead in The Garden of Good and Evi"l - an Ivy novella from "Dates from Hell". "Dirty Magic" - a Mia the banshee short story from "Hotter Than Hell". "The Bridges of Eden Park" - a Kisten/Rachel short from the mass market edition of "For a Few Demons More". "Two Ghosts for Sister Rachel" - a Robbie/Rachel/Pierce novella from "Holidays from Hell".
"The Bespelled" - a Ceri/Al short story from the mass market edition of "The Outlaw Demon Wails". "Ley Line Drifter" - a Bis/Jenks novella from "Unbound".
I've read all the Hollows stories before, but I loved revisiting many of them. Especially, Jenks and Trent's story to get Lucy. I also liked seeing Kisten with Rachel and his sister. I'm still not a fan of Kisten and Ivy's story. It shows a different side to both of them. They are not the confident vamps that we are used to seeing. I didn't like it. I wish there had been at least one new Hollows story.
For the new stories from "Beyond the Hollows", they were okay. I really liked the Pet Shop Boys story. It had a solid ending, but you could see that there is room to keep the story alive, if she chose to do so. Temson Estates was okay. I didn't love it, didn't hate it. I didn't like Spider Silk. It felt extremely unfinished. I wanted to know more about how everything worked out. Grace had the most solid ending of all the stories.
Overall I enjoyed the book. It will tide me over until the next Hollows book comes out. I hear it has a lot of Trent, Al and Jenks. Less Ivy. That sounds like a great book.
