Review:So this book is supposed to be written by a feminist but as a man, I enjoyed it. It shows the errors of medicine of her day. While you read this remember that the narrator is not the same person as the author. Gilman was a tough woman who could get things done. Her work is great! Read more

Review:I am twenty years old and I loved this book more than I think an intelligent college student should. There were just way to many things that kept me from not turning the pages and walking away. In fact, I have only one negative thing to say about this book.

This is a book meant strictly for pleasure reading for fantasy and novels alike. While it kept true to the high school novel feel, it also had enough fantasy to make it that much more interesting than just high school girls worrying ab... Read more

Review:Black magic sanction is book 8 in Kim Harrison's Hollows series. I have to disagree a bit with the book description above, about this being the most complex or emotionally charged adventure. That does not mean it was a disappointment, however. Does the book have it's tear jerker moment? Yes. Get a box of tissues ready. But, we've had a few equally as heart wrenching for Rachel and her friends.

Adventure wise, I would say this one is less action packed than other novels in the series. Mos... Read more

Review:It was the virus in the tomatoes that decimated much of the human race, which led in turn to the Inlanders (the supernatural races) being outed. Now they co-exist with humans and like the mortals, some are good and others are very bad. Rachel, a witch, is one of the supernatural entities that try to do what is right even if she has demons marks from working with them and her souls is black scum. If she dies before it is removed, she will go straight to the place where the demons live.

Review:Long time Kim Harrison & Rachel Morgan fan, so I really enjoyed this collection, especially the story of Jenks' adventure with Trent when they go to "elfnap"... well, shouldn't say more. Plus, her non-Hollows stories were good. I rarely bother with short stories anymore (read too fast, feel unsatisfied afterwards that I didn't buy a 600 pg. novel) BUT most of these stories were novellas, so the subjects were dealt with in enough depth to be gratifying and fun.
I can highly recommend thi... Read more

Review:Great idea, awkward execution.

Loved the Hollows books, but this book was a little off. It is told in an alternating viewpoint in third person between two different people. The descriptions were hard to follow and the plot-line repetitive. Love the idea though! Read more

Review:After reading the last book I was debating on whether or not I was going to buy this one. I am pleased that I followed my gut and got it. I was completely thrown by the turn of events and the story line really held me. I wanted to skip to the end just to find out what was going to happen but, I was good and I read the whole thing :) Shocks and twists at every turn and shocking revelations that made you say "OMG No Way!) what more can a girl as for.

Although I know many people may disagree... Read more

Review:The style of this book was a departure from the pattern of the first three, which was refreshing at first, but then dragged a bit toward the end. Instead of Rachel's hometown Cincinnati, this book takes place in Mackinaw, Michigan, which I loved! Michigan is my home state and I have to admit that I have not read too many books that take place there, especially in Mackinaw, where I went at least once every summer growing up! I did also love the deeper investigations into the characters such as Je... Read more

Review:This was a great book! All of Kim Harrison's books are great! I can't say enough about them!!! I just wish she could write faster lol. But you can't mess with what works and this series is just about perfection! Read more
