  <default-description>Rachel Morgan is a runner with the Inderland Runner Services, apprehending law-breakers throughout Cincinnati. She&#8217;s also a witch, one of the many Inderlanders who revealed themselves after a genetically engineered virus wiped out 50% of humanity. Witches, warlocks, vampires, werewolves-the creatures of dreams and nightmares have lived beside humans for centuries, hiding their powers. But now they&#8217;ve stopped hiding, and nothing will be the same.

On the run with a contract on her head, Rachel reluctantly teams up with Ivy, Inderland&#8217;s best runner&#8230; and a living vampire. But this witch is way out of her league, and to clear her name, Rachel must evade shapechanging assassins, outwit a powerful businessman/crimelord, and survive a vicious underground fight-to-the-death&#8230; not to mention her own roommate!</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[The first three of a series. A generation ago, a bio-engineered plague swept around the world, decimating the human population but leaving witches, vampires, weres, and other species alone. In the aftermath, these groups made themselves known to humans. Decades later, Rachel Morgan, a witch, embarks...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/41055789">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is an odd series for me. I've really enjoyed it, but I have lots to complain about. Rachel Morgan is irritating. The whole vampire-romance thing is beyond ridiculous. (Eating something crunchy? Leaving the room in mid-conversation? These are turn-ons to a vamp? Really? Massively stupid, imo.)

    <body><![CDATA[I loved this book, and was moved to write by the string of two-star reviews. I was grabbed from the beginning by the fast pace and seamless world-building. I found it well-crafted, with a thumping fast adventure pace, well-placed mysteries, mis-directions and clues, and rare resorts to info-dumping ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/72243354">more...</a>]]></body>

I'm not sure if I'm enthused enough about this author's world or characters to try for book number two and maybe an improvement in her writing abilities.<br/><br/>Its fairly standard (at least in todays modern fantasy heavy publishing climate) &quot;Fantasy elements in to a blende...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/64245913">more...</a>]]></body>
