Title: Dead Witch Walking Series: The Hollows #1 Author: Kim Harrison Published: July 1st 2004 by HarperTorch Genre: Adult Urban Fantasy Goodreads Amazon Book Depository Barnes and Noble IndieBound All the creatures of the night gather in “the Hollows” of Cincinnati, to hide, to prowl, to party…and to feed. Vampires rule the darkness in a predator-eat-predator world rife with dangers beyond imagining – and it’s Rachel Morgan’s job to keep that world civilized. A bounty hunter and witch with serious sex appeal and an attitude, she’ll bring ‘em back alive, dead…or undead. I have been holding off reading this series for a long time. I am always leery about urban fantasy books with female main characters, expecting it to be paranormal romance in disguise. It’s an awful prejudice, I know, and it has kept me from reading some truly entertaining work. Like Dead Witch Walking by Kim Harrison. This book … read more →
