Million Dollar Demon by Kim Harrison

 Million Dollar Demon by Kim Harrison - 464 pages

Hollows, book 15




The new master vampire of Cincinnati has arrived . . . and she wants Rachel Morgan out. No matter where Rachel goes, Constance is there--threatening Rachel's allies, causing city-wide chaos, and, to add insult to injury, even forcing Rachel out of her current quarters. Ever since Rachel found a way to save the souls of vampires, the old undead's longtime ascendancy has been broken. Now Constance sees eliminating Rachel as the key to consolidating her own power.

Rachel has no desire to be enthralled or killed--and she's terrified of what may become of the city if Constance forces a return to the ancient ways. But even a witch-born demon can't stand against the old undead--at least, not alone. And if Rachel refuses to claim the role of Cincinnati's master demon, the city will tear itself apart, taking her and all those who stand beside her with it.

I did not enjoy this one in the series as much as I did the earlier ones.  I am hoping I like the next one better.

American Demon by Kim Harrison

book cover of American Demon

 American Demon by Kim Harrison - 464 pages

14th in Rachel Morgan/Hollows series

What happens after you've saved the world? Well, if you're Rachel Mariana Morgan, witch-born demon, you quickly discover that something might have gone just a little bit wrong. That the very same acts you and your friends took to forge new powers may have released something bound by the old. With a rash of zombies, some strange new murders, and an exceedingly mysterious new demon in town, it will take everything Rachel has to counter this new threat to the world--and it may demand the sacrifice of what she holds most dear.                                                                                                   

I wasn't real happy when I heard Kim Harrison was continuing this series. She ended it with a great ending many years ago. By the end of the book I was glad to be back in this world and now just hope it isn't dragged out so long it loses what makes this series so good. You can't start this series with this book, but if you haven't read it and like Urban Fantasy I would definitely recommend you look for the first in the series - Dead Witch Walking.
