Early Review: Pale Demon {The Hollows, #9} by Kim Harrison

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Condemned to death for black magic and shunned, Rachel Morgan has three days to somehow get to the annual witches convention in San Francisco and clear her name. If she fails, the only way she can escape death is to live in the demonic ever after . . . for ever after.
Banned from the flight lists, Rachel teams up with elven tycoon Trent Kalamack, headed for the West Coast for his own mysterious business. But Rachel isn’t the only passanger along for the ride. Can a witch, an elf, a living vampire, and a pixy in one car survive for over 2,300 miles? And that’s not counting the assassin on their tail.
A fearsome demon walks the sunlight, freed after centuries of torment to slay the innocent and devour souls. But his ultimate prey is Rachel Morgan. While the powerful witch with nerves of steel will do whatever it takes to stay alive, even embracing her own demonic nature may not be enough to save her.

I literally freaked out when I saw Pale Demon on NetGalley. It felt forever while I waited to see if my request was going to be approved and when it was I squealed like a banshee. I stopped whatever I was doing, read Black Magic Sanction {which I was delaying to read for a while} and dove right into it and I am SO glad I did.

Pale Demon is AMAZING! Not since Kisten’s death have I enjoyed a book in this series so much. Yes, I still miss Kisten, but now I can finally see a direction, a path through which Kim Harrison will most definitely drag our dear Rachel. It will be a tortuous one, but I am really looking forward to reading about it.

In Black Magic Sanction Rachel finally caught a break and has a chance of expunging her shunning, all she has to do in go to the witches convention in San Francisco and beg the witches’ council… It sounds simple, but it’s nothing but, specially when her shunning keeps her from going by plane and  Trent Kalamack  joins her, Jenks and Ivy on the road trip from hell.

Pale Demon was non-stop action and every page had me craving the next. I loved what Harrison has done with the series, she wasn’t afraid to change everything up and I can’t wait to see where she takes Rachel next.

I really don’t want to spoil anything, but the ending killed me! It’s not really a cliffhanger, but it left such an incredible question mark for the series that I felt my heart stop. I feel like Kim Harrison is back and that after the rocky road that this series has been after Kisten’s death, she has finally found a new way, one that I can’t to follow.

Pale Demon is Urban Fantasy at it’s best! If you are a fan of the series, I think you’ll LOVE this book and if you have yet to read this series, now is the perfect time to start, you won’t regret it!
