EVER AFTER, the latest installment of The Hollows
series by Kim
Harrison once again has us following the actions and
predicaments of some the more well known citizens of
Cincinnati , Ohio. Well known does not always mean well
liked or popular.
The story yet again puts the blame on Rachel and shows her
in a bad light. While all the demons stand back making no
move to help her or themselves, until the end when she has
handled everything. But that is what demons do best. A very
powerful and evil demon makes a return to exploit a mistake
Rachel made in the ley lines and convinces all of the
demons and the council that she is the one to blame and if
she does not fix her mistake the everafter will no longer
exist. Extreme yes, but that is what a bully that wants his
own way does. It is very interesting to see how she handles
this situation and who she trusts to help her out.
EVER AFTER also has some people from her past show up and
in the end get what they deserve.
There are a lot of twists and turns in this story that you
don't see coming. Some are very interesting and make the
story better, while some are very sad and have you grabbing
for a tissue. There is also a very, very drunk Al in this
book that is not to be missed. I really enjoyed EVER AFTER,
and if you are a fan of The Hollows series it is a must
read. If you are new to the series you have to start at the
beginning or you will be lost, but the time you spend
reading this is series is worth it.
The ever after, the demonic realm that parallels the human world, is shrinking. If it disappears completely, so does all magic. It's up to witch-turned-daywalking-demon Rachel Morgan to avert catastrophe and keep life from changing . . . for the worse. While saving the world is important, it isn't Rachel's only motivation. There's also the small fact that she caused the ley line to rip in the first place, setting off a chain reaction of unfortunate events. That little mistake has made her life forfeit unless she can fix it. It's also made her more than a few enemies, including the most powerful demon in the ever after-a terrifying entity who eats souls and now has an insatiable appetite for her. He's already kidnapped her friend and goddaughter to lure her out, and if Rachel doesn't give herself up soon, they'll die. But Rachel has more than a few impressive and frightening skills of her own, and she isn't going to hand over her soul and her life without one hell of a fight. She's also got a surprise: elven tycoon Trent Kalamack. With this unlikely ally beside her-a prospect both thrilling and unnerving-she's going to return to the ever after, kick some demon butt, rescue her loved ones . . . and prevent an apocalypse before it's too late. Or, at least that's the plan . . .
