In Harrison's fourth novel, Rachel Morgan, the sassiest, sexiest bounty hunter in Cincinnati, heads north to rescue two friends-in-need. Rachel and her pixy partner, Jenks, make a trip to Michigan to retrieve Jenks' errant son, Jax. Once there, she finds that her ex- Nick could use a helping hand as well. The special butt-kicking kind of help that only Rachel can deliver. Throw Ivy into the mix and you've got a lethal team.

Typical Nick, he not only gets himself but everyone else into big trouble when he steals a valuable artifact and incurs the wrath of an unforgiving pack of Weres. War between the Vamps and Weres looms if things aren't put to right. Rachel, being Rachel, isn't always known for her sound decision-making skills and some of her blunders put the entire not-so-merry little band in danger both physically and emotionally.

Strong relationships and sound story arcs characterize this well-plotted series. Deft character development and continuity from book to book keep readers happy and coming back for more. I always count on an enjoyable trip every time I visit the Hollows, and I haven't been disappointed yet.
