From the book:
This is the eight book in the series and it's another page-turning, wild ride. Rachel is running from her own kind - witches, and she is forced to go it alone to keep her friends safe. Her friends, however, have other ideas, and she finds that she has friends in some very strange places.Rachel Morgan has fought and hunted vampires, werewolves, banshees, demons, and other supernatural dangers as both witch an bounty hunger - and lived to tell the tale. But she's never faced off against her own kind . . . until now. Denounced and shunned for dealing with demons and black magic, her best hope is life imprisonment - at worst, a forced lobotomy and genetic slavery. Only her enemies are strong enough to help her win her freedom, but trust comes hard when it hinges on the unscrupulous tycoon Trent Kalamack, the demon Algaliarept, and an ex-boyfriend turned thief.It takes a witch to catch a witch, but survival bears a heavy price.
One of the best things about the series is how Rachel has grown and changed. She is no longer a naïve young girl; everything she has gone through has led her to a new sense of herself and the world and her place in it. She makes great strides in this book toward accepting herself for what she is.
There's also a new (old?) love interest and more information on her background with bad guy Trent Kalamack. Tragedy also plays a part and I'm still not sure how I feel about that part of it.
Recommendation: Witches, demons, elves, gargoyles abound. Good and evil are also here . . . but you may find yourself wondering which is which. Give it a go; you won't be disappointed but if you haven't visited the Hollows before, you should probably start with Dead Witch Walking to get the full Rachel Morgan experience. It's one worth having.
