Sometimes, though you know it to be true, nature will remind you of what a bitch it is.

Like, for example, if you come to Australia and manage to avoid the myriad of poisonous spiders, snakes, scorpions, jelly fish, stone fish and some frogs.

Then you manage to not get killed or viciously maimed by the crocodiles, koalas, cassowary, dingos, sharks, sting-rays and locals (do you have any idea of how many tourists go missing and get murdered in Australia?)

Wow. That was my final impression of the much anticipated fifth book in Kim Harrison’s Rachel Morgan series. Much like Harrison’s previous work, For a Few Demons More was a non-stop, action packed romp through an alternate version of Cincinnati. My only complaint was that the relationship of two of the main characters seems to have taken two steps back for the single step forward it gained. And of course the death of a beloved character never sits too well with anyone. But enough of the teasing....moreWow. That was my final impression of the much anticipated fifth book in Kim Harrison’s Rachel Morgan series. Much like Harrison’s previous work, For a Few Demons More was a non-stop, action packed romp through an alternate version of Cincinnati. My only complaint was that the relationship of two of the main characters seems to have taken two steps back for the single step forward it gained. And of course the death of a beloved character never sits too well with anyone. But enough of the teasing.

Poor Rachel, she’s a witch whose only desire was to become as good of a runner (a combination of investigator and bounty hunter) as her late father. But political machinations forced her to leave the I.S. and go it on her own. When she left she unknowingly took with her two new friends, Ivy Tamwood the last living Tamwood vampire and Jenks a temperamental pixie with a large family to care for. Throughout the series we’ve watched the friendship between this trio bloom as they overcame numerous obstacles set in their paths. Schemes were unraveled, trust betrayed and yet through it all they stuck it out and weathered the storm.

Now in the fifth book the numerous conflicts that have been simmering beneath the surface all come to a boil. Newt, the powerful demon who strikes fear in the demon Al and the elf Ceri alike, and the same demon whose mark Rachel now carries as a price for being carried over the ley lines, comes after Rachel seeking something that she has and that Newt wants back. Problem is Newt can’t remember what it is she’s looking for. If a crazy demon isn’t scary enough add to that the fact that this demon can blasphemy the holy ground she walks on without a conscious effort. There is no safe hiding place from this demon. The trio suspect Newt wants the Focus, the werewolf artifact that Rachel got stuck with in the previous book, which means now they have to guard the artifact that could cause a war from the werewolves, the vampires, and a demon.

At the same time the powerful and dangerous Trent Kalamack is getting married and wants Rachel to play bodyguard. After Newt’s visit she’s in dire need of money to fix the church and it’s really no surprise that she eventually caves and accepts Trent’s offer. We’ve seen that pattern before folks, her morals and ethics cause Rachel to tell Trent what he can do with his offers but in the end a combination of guilt over their father’s shared friendship, Trent’s father’s kindness, and sheer need usually force Rachel to give in. Maybe someday she’ll learn to save herself time and just accept the offer up front? After what happened in this book that’s not likely though.

So Trent is getting married, Newt makes an appearance, and everyone is fighting for control of the focus, that alone is enough to make a good fifth installment. But Kim Harrison wouldn’t be the author she is today if she decided to do things half way. Every “villain” Rachel and company have had to contend with puts in an appearance. From a walking in the sun Al to a free and clear Piscary, they’re all back and there is a murder mystery to solve to boot. Just reading the book had my mind boggling at the stress and my nerves became frayed at the thought of dealing with everything Rachel had to contend with. Fans will be pleasantly surprised to see how Harrison wraps everything up, it’s not exactly what you would anticipate but it’s far from a let down. [...]

Yay, I was finally able to give a Kim Harrison book four stars! Let's throw a party.
Much better than the first four books of this series. I wasn't feeling conflicted about it, or confused by it the whole time. I was along for the ride. And by the end, I was totally captivated. I think Rachel finally starts to figure some stuff about herself, which is a relief.

For me this installment in the series wasn't as good as the last 2 books, which were a 5 stars-rating and favs. I would give this book 3.5 stars if possible.

The beginning was good. All the drama with Al was a great way to begin the book. I like him a lot. He's not one of my fav characters but a really good one; you just know that if he's in the picture thing will get juicy.

I can't decide which book in the series I liked the most! Great action, great scenes, great thinking by the main character... I can't ask for better. Rachel and her friends find a lot more trouble in this novel than the previous four, but this one was the best. Rachel endures more than she ever had in this novel, and she and her circle of friends have no choice but to deal with each catastrophe as they show up.

Currently working my way through the requisite hundred or so pages of relationship angsting that has to happen before the plot starts. That may sound tedious, and frankly it is. But it's Harrison's pattern, and once the plot kicks into gear it's a fantastic ride. You just have to slog through that introductory angst first.

Harrison’s books have an awful lot of boom, and this one is no exception between the weres who keep turning up dead, a master vampire about to be released from jail, bloodshed over the ancient artifact Rachel is hiding, oh yeah and the demon crashing Trent’s wedding.

There are a lot of things I could say here. I could say that, while Harrison’s writing gets better and better with every book, she still has no discernible control over thematics. I could say that her worldbuilding ranges from the superb (the pixie culture is hilarious and original) to the mediocre (a demon who hasn’t interacted with humans in five hundred years should not explain an ancient magical communication network as having “registered users.” I mean, really). I could say that the plot, while fast and brilliant, still slips into contrivance sometimes. I could say that there’s a hell of an ending here, but that it could eventually play out as either extremely bold or a simple cop-out.

But the thing is, I could talk about all that, but I don’t really want to. Because these books, they really have something. Something of the compulsive page-turner, yes, but also something which works emotionally both for me and on me. Maybe it’s the power of the dominant female friendship (and the loyalty/sexuality/blood tangle between Ivy and Rachel is handled much more elegantly in this book). Maybe it’s the extent and reach of the community we’ve watched Rachel build. Maybe it’s the mix of high-octane and domesticity – the most intense scenes, physically and emotionally, seem to take place in the kitchen. I don’t really know what it is, but it’s definitely there and I’m all for it. I like these books. I like them a whole lot, and that response should and does trump my complaints. Of all the urban fantasy series I’m following, I’m glad this is the one to take off and do so extraordinarily well commercially. It’s well deserved, because vampire boyfriends aside (and seriously, check that ending) this is really good storytelling and I’m definitely here for the long haul.(less)

Each new volume beckons me to indulge in another fantastic adventure where the fights, jokes, puns, some wicked magic and charismatic characters hold me in a trance until the last page is devoured.

The fifth book of the series has been the book of changes, so much happens from when we last saw Rachel, her solid ground composed of Jenks, Ivy, Kisten, Ceri, David, Glenn and few others is unraveling in all directions. She is torn between her wild romance with Kisten and the lurking desires she's growing for Ivy, not sure whether she wants to be friends or more, debating with herself while fighting werewolves, pissed of demons, alluring vampires, tricky elfs, hilarious pixes and not so nice witches and all sorts of enigmatic creatures with agendas of their own. With power struggles happening between those at the top of the food chain, Rachel is caught in the middle with everything she holds dear at stake. I can't say any more, these books can be easily spoiled; something that I knew was going to happen did in deed happen and it didn't lessen the shock but it took something away form me. So for those who aren't up to this book, start from the beginning and don't go peaking at spoilers.

The ending was so intense that I was torn between being afraid of reading through it and not wanting to see how the whole demon tangled up mess would resolve and unable to wait for the sixth book to arrive in the mail so I can rip the box open and pounce on it. Each character has been so lovingly written and so incredible real that any pain they went through I felt as well. Reading their stories and following their dreams, victories and fights always made me feel close to them, as if they were part of my own family. I am embarrassed to say but by page 444 tears were bubbling in my eyes, and I was a sobbing mess, I can't remember the last time a book made me cry! I can honestly say that this is my favorite series of all the books I have ever read, I can't imagine anything being warmer and filled with more glow, magic and real heart than this gem of a series. Utter perfection in my opinion and the more the better. (less)

Rachel has a lot on her plate and with the help of her friends is kept busy fighting off werewolves and demons while at the same time trying to solve a murder. This is the continuing story of Rachel-the witch, Ivy-the living vampire and Jenks-the pixie as they work together fighting against evil and helping their friends.

For a Few Demons More is the fifth book in The Rachel Morgan/The Hollows Series. Currently there are nine books in the series, with another three or four expected to be released in the future. This series is a modern day story that centers around inderlanders: witches, weres, vampires and others including the occasional demon, so it falls into the Contemporary Fantasy or Urban Fantasy genre. It is told in the first person narrative from Rachel Morgan’s point of view, she is the main protagonist.

I liked how this book began but I felt that as the book progressed the quality of the story declined. I thought the writing in the opening sequence was exciting, even though it did not make a lot of sense that Newt would know that Rachel had the Focus. I thought the story first fell apart when Rachel made arrangements to meet with both werewolf groups at the same time. I thought it was very unprofessional and rather stupid, considering she thought they were behind the murders currently taking place. The fact that doing so resolved several issues and brought much to light seemed just a bit too convenient. And it was very unrealistic that no one died in the process.

I get a little tired of Rachel berating herself. How could I be so stupid bla, bla, bla. The book goes on too long about Ivy leaving for some unknown reason. Also what kind of friend is Jenks to blab to Cheri that Rachel bit Kisten. No wonder Rachel didn't trust Jenks in the previous book with the knowledge of what Trent is which was also painful reading.

The story seems to jump around a lot, from weres being killed, the Focus, Trent's wedding, and Ivy disappearing without really solving anything. But the story does slowly progress and eventually Rachel is able to resolve all of the outstanding issues. There are a few sad spots in the story as well.

I always enjoy reading the parts concerning the demons, I find these parts are the most interesting and exciting. I am also curious to see where this series is going so I will probably read the next book in the series, although I felt this was not as good as the other books in the series.

I would say that this book is easily the best since book two - the action kicked off literally from page one and there were enough plot twists, complications, heart-pounding sex scenes, arguments, comedy moments and terror to keep the pages turning at a vigorous pace!

Here Rachel realises that the focus isn't quite as securely hidden as she originally thought - she wakes to find herself being possessed by scary mad demon Newt, who seems to be searching for the focus. This, alongside the murder of various Weres, starts a plot that takes Rachel to some very dark places.

This was the first of the books that caused me outright emotional turmoil, caused by events surrounding two characters. One of these was Trent - I had been enjoying the enigma of the elf, who has done some seriously naughty things but was becoming a character that seemed to mean well. This was all thrown on its head during this book, where we see the depraved levels that Trent is capable of, which disappointed me. I liked him as a character prior to this, but now find myself feeling about him in the same way as Nick. I did love his first meeting with Ceri, though, something that has been coming for the past couple of books. Quen's reaction to Ceri was also lovely, and I'm glad I can still see Quen as the honourable warrior.

The second character to suffer in this book was Kisten. I LOVED Kisten, and found myself very upset by the resolution that Harrison introduced to his story. I don't want to say anything more, for fear of major spoilers, but I am keen to see how it plays out over the next book(s).

I am also a little scared by the fact that Harrison keeps introducing the idea of how indispensable Jenks is to Rachel, but also shows his son taking over more and more duties, and keeps emphasising how old Jenks actually is. Also, Matalina spent most of this book off-stage ill, and I hate the thought of these two lively characters being missing from future books.

By the end of the book, Rachel has openly dealt with demons and seen the people of Cincinnati develop prejudices against her for it. She's interrupted Trent's wedding to Ellasbeth spectacularly. She has been invited to join a demon cult. She's had a taste of what life might be like with Ivy on a more permanent basis. Altogether, this was an action-packed and exciting book and was possibly my favourite so far, since I really enjoyed the new emotional punch Harrison added. (less)

I love the dynamic between Kisten and Rachel and this little short story just cements my love for them together. I hope nothing happens to them in the books to come. And I would love to see more of Crissie and Audric, Kisten's family.

Well, obviously I wrote that above part before knowing what happens at the end of this book. I am so sad about Kisten and am a bit mad at Kim Harrison for killing him off and then putting a short story with him and Rachel at the end of this book right after he dies. I read the short story first because my best friend told me to. I can't imagine having just read what happened to Kisten and then reading that short story like she did. I cried enough at the end. This is why I could only give this book four stars. I am too distraught over Kisten being gone for real. He was my favorite character and who I saw Rachel's future with.

So who killed Kisten? With Piscary dead and Rachel's memory gone I hope we find out so Rachel can exact some revenge. I have some theories but I am keeping them to myself until I read the next book.

Trent is an ass. Every time I think he may be getting better and less of a monster he does something to secure the fact he is not a good person/elf. I am glad Ciri got to see his evil side, although it did not seem to phase her after. And her power scares me for Rachel's sake.

Ivy and Rachel...I am as confused as they are. And now with Kisten gone will their relationship take the next step? Rachel says she wants a blood balance but no sex and Ivy knows no other way than that. However, Rachel thought about that kiss an awful lot. I for one do not want them together. Not because I mind the same sex relationship but because I don't think it would be fulfilling for either of them.

Jenks worked for Trent and got him off for murder...that makes me uneasy. And the job had to be big enough for him to buy the church! However, he just secured his family's future so good for him. Some things he can't rely on Ivy and Rcahel for.

Rachel is fastly becoming too compfortable with demon magic. It is coming much more easy and second nature. Something changed in her when she took that focus curse inside of her. She has crossed a line. Perhaps there is a real reason she shouldn't practice ley line magic. Maybe she has demon blood in her veins, put there by Trent's father to heal her years ago. Would explain why demons seem to be drawn to her no matter how hard she tries to stay away from them. Why powerful beings like Piscary and Trent are interested in her.

I am still waiting for Nick to show back up. You know he is not done with Rcahel, knowing she tricked the focus away from him. In fact he fits into one of my theories I am not going to talk about.

It hadn't stopped me from purchasing the series and adding them to my TBR pile but I just hadn't wanted to pick them up. When I had recently gotten my hands on Pale Demon, the most recent in the series, I realized how far behind I had become and resolved to come up to date.

This story jumps right back in to following Rachel, Ivy, and Jenks through Cincinnati...more

I love the Hollows books. This alternate reality is so consuming and exhilerating, but this one wasn't my favorite. Desptie the constant show that Trent is NOT a good guy, I have found myself rooting for him, and even liking him as a character. (SPOILER) The fact that he turns out to be the killer was a bit disillusioning, as well as disappointing. I would like to find a way to have him become a good guy with a bad past. But that doesn't always work. The other thing is that when Rachel takes in ...more

In this novel, Rachel awakes in her bedroom closet with someone else in her head trying to possess her. Rachel calls upon the ley line out back in the graveyard and forms a circle. Then she pushes the other from her mind.

Rachel finds herself facing a confused looking Newt. Somehow the demon has come to her on sanctified ground without being called. Newt is insane, but also very strong. And Newt is looking for something that belongs to her, but doesn't remember what it is.

...moreIn this novel, Rachel awakes in her bedroom closet with someone else in her head trying to possess her. Rachel calls upon the ley line out back in the graveyard and forms a circle. Then she pushes the other from her mind.

Rachel finds herself facing a confused looking Newt. Somehow the demon has come to her on sanctified ground without being called. Newt is insane, but also very strong. And Newt is looking for something that belongs to her, but doesn't remember what it is.

When Rachel depossesses herself, the church bell rings in the old belfry. Ceri hears the bell and comes over to see what is the matter. Recognizing Newt, Ceri quickly builds a circle and then has Rachel call Minias, Newt's familiar and caretaker.

Minias talks Newt into returning to the ever-after, but she has already broken the sanctification of the church. Rachel calls specialists to resanctify the church, but they all say it can't be done. Now what is the Vampiric Charms team going to do without the church sanctuary?

Then Detective Glenn shows up asking for Rachel's assistance. Somebody is killing Weres, but the bodies are not registered in the Inderlander databases. After Rachel returns from her morgue visit, David calls her about missing human girlfriends who have turned into Weres. Apparently the focus is working through him without his knowledge.

Also, Stanley Saladan has responded to the invitation for the wedding of Trent Kalamack and Ellasbeth Withon. Since Lee is now the demon Algaliarept's familiar, Trent is very upset. Rachel agrees to protect the wedding party, but neither she nor Ellasbeth is pleased that Rachel is now officially a bridesmaid. Then Algaliarept shows up at the rehearsal, in broad daylight, wearing Lee's body.

Rachel has further trouble with Weres, but this time with the packs in Cincinnati. With the deaths of several more Weres, the packs of Mr. Ray and Mrs. Sarong trade accusations of killing each other. Rachel calls the two leaders together for a summit meeting.

Then Piscary wrangles his way out of prison. Kisten and Ivy are very afraid and unhappy. Rachel is afraid and very angry.

But you know that's not all. Someone very close to Rachel dies and you'll never guess who.

Quotes from For a Few Demons More

“Having been a demon curse, however brief, should leave a mark. A streak of silver hair, or bewitching eyes. Maybe crows on one's roof or a hound from hell at your heel. Blowing out my breath I stood and squinted at my reflection. A black eye. Swell.” — 23 people liked it

“Sure am glad I'm not royalty," I muttered. "I wouldn't want to have to bump uglies with someone I can't stand. On a regular basis. And no one else."

"Ow!" I exclaimed, trying to yank my fingers from Trent but finding them caught. Then I colored, realizing what I'd said. "Oh… sorry," I stammered, meaning it. "That was insensitive."

Trent's frown turned into a sly smirk. "Bump uglies?" he said, eyes on the table behind me. "You are a font of gutter slang, Rachel. We must do this again.” — 23 people liked it
