Favorite Quote: “My mother isn’t crazy. She simply has a harder time than most reconciling her reality with everyone else’s reality.”

Rachel has survived shunning, capture, and an elf curse. She gave her all in Pale Demon and now embraces her demon heritage. Somewhat. A Perfect Blood picks up right after Rachel is brought back from the ever after by Trent and now wears a bracelet made by him to effectively hide her from the demon collective. When she is called to view a murder scene by a master vampire, Rachel realizes that once again she is about to be blamed for crimes she didn’t commit if she doesn’t figure out who is killing these people. And why.

I’m reviewing The Hollows Insider by Kim Harrison at Smexybooks

The Hollows Insider by Kim Harrison

In the Hollows, the supernatural Inderlanders rule, and humanity must abide by their conventions, or else.

To survive among vampires, witches, Weres, gargoyles, trolls, fairies, and banshees—to say nothing of demons—humanity needs a guide. And now, written by Kim Harrison herself, here is an insider’s look at the supernatural world of the Hollows, from an overarching new story to character profiles, maps, spell guides, charm recipes, secret correspondence from the elusive Trent Kalamack, and much more.(Goodreads)

I’ve never been a fan of companion or insider books. They are usually nothing more then an encyclopedia of recycled facts about the characters. You may learn something new but not enough to justify the often outrageous price. The Hollows Insider was a pleasant surprise. Set up more as a behind the scenes story, it sheds light on the characters and main arc. The Hollows series is told in the first person; from the protagonist’s (Rachael Morgan) point of view. Everything we see and hear is through her. In here we are able to see and hear what Rachael couldn’t.

Hey ya’ll. I’m at Smexy Books today doing a full day of reviews. First up is Kim Harrison’s 9th Hollows installment-Pale Demon.

Favorite Quote: “The world had turned its back on me. I should turn my back on it”
Rachel Morgan has been officially shunned and accused of black magic. She has three days to get to get to California in order to appear before the Witches Convention to clear her name. If she is found guilty she either has to go to the ever after for good or be put to death. As part of her shunning, she isn’t allow to fly. So when Trent Kalamack approaches Rachel asking for her help with a mission of his own in California; Rachel and the rest of the gang get ready for a road trip. But this trip isn’t going to be the piece of cake Rachel thought. From kidnapping pixies to soul devouring demons, Rachel will have to use everything she has to stay one step ahead in this game-even if it means dying.
 
Later this afternoon (3pm) my review of Stephanie Juilan’s super smexy Lucian Lovers series installment-Moonlight Temptation- will be up.
Evie has been through a lot. From being kidnapped and terrorized to discovering she is a witch; Evie is now living in a borrowed house with a 17 year old werewolf who is trying to help her control her powers and being pursued by two sexy men. Could things be any worse?
Dr. Dane Dimitriou knows Evie is having problems adjusting. So is he. He wants her badly but feels his aggressive standoffish personality is not what she needs. So he calls in his best friend, sexy easy going Ryan, to help Evie become more comfortable with her new life.
So who will Evie chose? Or will she have to chose at all?
