So I'm pretty sure that I've said this several times already, but just in case you missed it---Pale Demon is my FAVORITE book in this series.

Things have been building, and Rachel's life has been getting more complicated, but by the end of the last book, it looks like she's finally going to catch a break.

Oliver, the new head of the coven of moral and ethical standards, has verbally agreed to remove Rachel's shunning at the upcoming Witch Convention, as long as she shows up ...more

As only Jenks would say: "Sweet mother of Tink." That book is the epitome of superawesomesaucy. The last book had left me somewhat disappointed but this one totally revived all the trill and excitement most of the other books had managed to instill in me.

This was unlike any other book. The entire vibe it gave off. The rich plot. Ugh, absolutely amazing. In case you didn't know, in this one they go on a road trip, Jenks, Ivy, Rachel and and and and Trent. Man, I love Trent, he's incredible and a ...more

So now that I have read the book I will say I am super excited about any future books to come. This was one of the best books in the series by far. The beginning car trip was a bit of a snore but quickly progressed in to an action packed, emotionally charged story rife with reveals that were (hopefully) meant to stir up the future of this series!
So many things happened that could change the direction of almost all the characters...its m ...more

Harrison's been saying that this is her favourite one so far and I so get why.

Pale Demon pretty much starts out with a road trip. At this point, there's not much going on, but it quickly turns into action-packed fun. The trip goes on for about half of the book. Who knew a long drive could be so fun? definitely not me. They get attacked and find a day walking demon. A day walking demon. You don't think it's enough? Fine! There's heaaaaaaaps more. ...more

About two years ago, Ms. Harrison teased her blog followers about an upcoming book involving Rachel, Trent, and Jenks on a road trip out west.

Perhaps I'll calm down later and see the light but for now, I'm a bull pawing the sand with my head lowered snorting in anger and frustration despite the fact that I quite enjoyed this book.

Perhaps I'll calm down later and see the light but for now, I'm a bull pawing the sand with my head lowered snorting in anger and frustration despite the fact that I quite enjoyed this book. It's where we go from now that troubles me.

The first half was slow with only a couple of blood-pumping action scenes. The road trip itself, although giving the characters time to bond with Trent was a bit tedious. I was beginning to believe the book had been misrepresented to me and was tempted to abandon it. And although it got better, I was kind of right. It's not what I expected at all.

This book was supposed to be about two things: Trent and Rachel becoming closer and Rachel's fight to get the shunning removed. I was in it for the former but couldn't see it happening with Trent becoming criminally dangerous with his arrogance.

I assumed, as I'm guessing many others will, that Rachel and Trent would have a fling, Trent would ruin things and they both would move on. Not so. Something more serious transpired. They learned to trust each other. Trent rightfully earned everyone's trust. He sacrificed much for Rachel and instead of imposing his will, he gave her a choice. A very important choice. Trent changed in this book partly due to a rather surprising development he'd been keeping secret which now has him tied to Rachel in a way that would have me believing Rachel and Trent will become an item in the next book, the last scene backing me up on this.

However, and this is where I get annoyed, Harrison has stated that Rachel and Trent will not become long term romantic partners. She has even been dropping hints about Rachel's future love interests (all current ones except Trent are no longer possible) in blog posts. This made me angry. I feel like I've been manipulated despite knowing all of this going in. The writing was so good regarding this that I believed they would become an item. Everything points to it becoming a done deal. I don't understand why she would do this, other than to make Trent Rachel's protector, which she now desperately needs to survive.

All of this makes me wonder what Harrison's long-term plan with this series is. I'm concerned about repetitiveness at this point. Rachel's predicament by the end of PD is a return to one she had at the beginning, just replace "black witch" with "demon". This is the 9th book. It almost read like the last. I could happily not read another and not just because I'm disgruntled. I can imagine what could come next but it probably doesn't match what Harrison has in store for us.

I've been questioning my commitment to this series. Kisten's demise led to a break away from it and since then I've missed him. Trent is/was someone I could see Rachel settling with because even though he has, as she puts it: a 'disrespect of innocent lives' and the law, they have great chemistry and now they care and perhaps even love (at least a little) one another. Trent has proven he'll do anything, and I mean anything, to protect what and whom he cares about so I'm failing to understand why...Oh, never mind. This is embarrassing. I'm an action fan, not a romance queen. I'm whining so it's time to shut up now. ...more

I let out an almighty squeal of excitement when I got my hands on this book. I have been hopelessly addicted to this series from page one of Dead Witch Walking. There’s always the worry in the back of readers minds that the more books there are in a series, the harder the author has to work for it to still pack a powerful punch. Pale Demon is book nine in the series and BY FAR is THE MOST incredible of them all. Please excuse the GUSHFEST you are about to witness. I’d suggest maybe sitting back I let out an almighty squeal of excitement when I got my hands on this book. I have been hopelessly addicted to this series from page one of Dead Witch Walking.

Pale Demon is book nine in the series and BY FAR is THE MOST incredible of them all. Please excuse the GUSHFEST you are about to witness. I’d suggest maybe sitting back a little from the screen just in case I get a little of my excitement on you LOL

Where to even begin? So much has happened to Rachel throughout the series and seriously the poor girl has to be tired from the trouble she attracts. Just wanting to be left alone to live her life free from being hunted and attacked, Rachel finds herself heading to San Francisco with the hopes of having her shunning revoked. The witches coven have labeled her a black witch (because she had performed demon magic) and through a series of events, a bargain was struck – her shunning removed or she would tell the world the startling truth she discovered (haha read the books because it’s a HUGE “shake the world” kind of truth) Going in good faith, she makes the epic journey with her friends and Trent *insert swoon here*, picking up a coven spy along the way. What follows is an amazingly fast paced, action packed, “OMGSH I can’t believe it” story that far surpassed my expectations. This story BLEW. ME. AWAY. This is the kind of book that I wish went on forever because there was just so much to see and soak in. The author did an incredible job of giving her readers a closer look at all the beloved characters and had them involved with things I never would have seen coming. I’m impressed with her imagination and ability to write a story that even after eight books, STILL had the ability to suck me in. *insert a HUGE gush*

It never ceases to amaze me just how much I like Rachel. She is such a fly by the seat of her pants heroine who is completely flawed and you can’t help but love her. This is the girl who REPEATEDLY finds herself knee deep in trouble when all she wants to do is live her life and be a good witch. You name it, it’s hunted her down and tried to kill her and still she keeps fighting. Even in the most desperate of moments, when it would be so easy for her to give up, Rachel stands up, dusts herself, digs deep and fights. In Pale Demon, Rachel is knocked hard. So much happens to her that even I was crying “Please just leave her alone” before turning to her and whispering “It’s ok if you want to disappear for a while, you need a break from all this.” She learns a lot about herself and accepts some things that are difficult to swallow but instead of wallowing, whether by bravery or sheer stubbornness, she works through it. This is all great but when you add in her flaws and the emotion/thoughts that flow through her, she makes for an incredible character in my mind. I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of her because there seems she still surprises me and I can’t help but wonder if we know all there is to know yet. Being in a place now where she can fully embrace who she is, what will she choose? My heart goes out to her and all I can do is cheer!

*insert the BIGGEST gush here* Being the hopeless romantic I am, I can’t help it when I read a book that I try to partner the heroine off with a sexy man. Rachel has been involved with a few hunks – Kirsten (sob he is so missed), Nick (no comment) and Pierce (sigh). Each relationship has had its challenges and I’ve always held my breath to see whether it’d last. So going into this book, I took a look around at the leading men and I could help but hope with my wishful heart that Rachel and Trent would hook up. I don’t think I’m the only one who isn’t a little lustful after the sexy bad boy elf (ok you can add in murderer and drug lord but I think bad boy sounds better) He has always made my heart beat a little faster and right from the beginning I’ve wanted sparks to fly. There’s some sexual tension there amongst all the hostility and so I went into Pale Demon crossing my fingers. Like the naughty reviewer I am – I’M NOT TELLING YOU ANYTHING (mwahahaha) but this I will. There is A LOT of Trent in here and he is extremely delicious! The author gives the reader such a deeper look at him and we get to see him totally out of his element. We get a glimpse behind the façade and it is BEAUTIFUL!! Oh he’s still as sarcastic and “Trent” as ever but there is more depth and meaning to him and GUSH GUSH GUSH. I’ve waited eight books for this kind of look at him so for all you Trent lovers… be prepared to lose your heart all over again to him.

I really loved the feel of the book and how there seemed to be a more emotional approach to it. Amongst all the excitement, I appreciated seeing some of the characters reveal more of themselves to the reader. It helped make a deeper connection to them and the storyline and you became invested in the story. I’ve already shared about Rachel and Trent but another surprise for me was Al. Yes, this was the book where I saw him as more than a demon and I felt myself falling in love with him. There’s always been this image presented of him throughout the series and it honestly felt as if suddenly Al was stripped of everything and we could see a more “human” side of him. I loved being able to look at him differently, to appreciate him better and as much as in freaked Rachel out at times when she saw different sides to him, I thought it was about time and fantastic. This book really gave the spotlight to some of the characters we’ve been intrigued in and all I can say is a big THAN K YOU to the author.

There is nothing I would change about this book because in my mind it was perfect. It was a thrilling experience, one that I couldn’t get enough of and had me emotionally absorbed into the characters. It’s an amazing urban fantasy series, one that I’ll cherish and reread over and over again. This is definitely a book I’ll be talking about for months to come and feel anyone who loves the paranormal would absolutely enjoy and devour this book/series. Here’s hoping I can last until the next installment. Happy reading! * this ends the GUSHfest*

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. The story was exciting and full of suspense, which is what I like in a book. This usually warrants a 4 or 5 star from me but not this one. I think the real intent of this book was to get Racheal and Trent in a situation where they have to stay in close quarters with each other, ultimately starting their romance ball rolling.

I am a Racheal/Trent fan and have been since book 1. I think they have great chemisty together, specifically, they balance each other out (temperament wise). But I have also been waiting for Trent to start to show some redeeming qualities. In previous books, he has had some charming moments, albeit only a few. So I was looking forward to this book. I was sure that this story would bring out the best in Trent and have a budding romance in the end...or at least friendship and I was right. What I wasn't prepare for was a secretive/ manipulative Trent that gets Racheal hurt numerous times and keeps himself safe through 98% of the book. By the time I got to the ending I thought, how could a romance or friendship start from this? He has not proven himself worthy of her. Just because he saved her life, one time, at the end (which was the least he could do...because how many times has she saved his?), took a beating (about time), and has been covering lawsuits for her behind her back, does not justify Rachael softening her thoughts about who he is and his morals. Come on...how can a reader feel good about a character when he ruins so many lives. I know we, as readers, aren't suppose to think about more than what is on the page, but I do. How many peripheral people died in this book? What about the misery of all their families? Racheal can't just set aside her morals and values because someone saved her life once and she enjoyed a kiss!

The second thing I don't understand is this 'Elf Quest' that Trent is on. Yes, I didn't like his ex and I am glad he didn't marry her. But hind sight being 20/20..if I was pregnant and a naked woman showed up in my room, then implied over breakfast that there had been a relationship between the two, I might be a little bitchy and posessive too. Getting back to the point...Baby snaching?? I don't understand how, as readers, we are to find a parent kidnapping a 3 month old child out of her crib acceptable? If Ms. Harrison is keeping with the notion of elves and changelings (that is usually done with human children and not with fellow elvan children)...(sigh) I will go with this idea and thought process for the sake of the story. *heavy sigh* But are we to respect a culture and society that kidnaps children and make them our hero/champion in a story? Are we to respect Trent more for doing this? I have to wonder what Elsbeth thinks of this time honored tradition as the recipient and mother? Is she just going to sit back and let him take and raise their daughter without her? That doesn't make sense. AND...her family just wrote Racheal a check for all the damages and assassins she had to fight off? Was that part of the challenge...if you win, then all expense will be reimbursed *insert sarcasm* Hum??

This book was exciting and full of adventure. Unfortunately, the ending felt unjustified and wrong for the story...absolutely no logical ending according to the actions in the story. I simply can not read about a character that I want to throttle throughout the book and then have warm fuzzy feelings about him because he has a baby in his arms and is using a cane due to injuries he righteously deserves (with interest). Racheal needs someone who shares her values about people and life. I don't think a beating and a baby make up for all the mayhem in the end. As much as I disliked Elsbeth's attitude (I am starting to sympathise with her) she's a scientist, not a drug dealer and murdering thug. I MIGHT read the next book from the library just out of couriosity, but I'm beginning to really dislike Trent...Rach, go find someone who thinks you make the world a better and brighter place. Here's hoping the next book(s) make more sense due to a character's actions THROUGHOUT a book than on a target ending. ...more

I don't remember when I last cried so much over a book. There were so many heart-breaking moments and so many goodbyes...and so many kisses!!

I wish I hadn't. Because doing so, really brought how terrible this book was into sharp focus. Most reviews spend a lot of time fleshing out the plot of this book. Instead of doing so, I will focus on its issues, which I'll break down for you in a serious of bullet-points.

- Most glaringly, this book reads as some sort of fan-fiction tribute to the Rachel character, where they took everything that was good about the first five or six books, and then just did as fanfic trash does: skewed everything and then added sex. Rachel has a sexual encounter/gets turned on by absolutely every guy she sees (oh, and Ivy). Trent, Pierce, and Al all have moments with her. Of course, Al's moment...nah, I'll get into that in another bullet point.

- There's a rape scene with Rachel's pet demon Al. Let me say that again. There's a rape scene with Rachel's pet demon Al!!! (remember what I said about fanfic?) AFTER which, Newt shows up (because she seems to have a personal need to butt into Al's personal affairs), and during the scene, Rachel isn't screaming bloody murder, or in a corner shivering, she's standing there in a pissy, irritated mood. ....what? Now, I'm a guy. I've never been raped. I know women who have, however, and not a single one of them ever told me that they were merely annoyed by an attempted rape. They weren't irritated. They were VIOLATED (even worse when the rapist was someone they had known and considered an acquaintance). They wouldn't have sat there next to the would-be rapist directly afterwards, and stared at the guy's unit under his robe and made comments on it(as Rachel does in this scene). It was entirely unrealistic, unbelievable, and was incredibly poor writing. I got the distinct impression that Harrison hasn't ever even spoken to a rape victim. Period. It was the beginning of the end of being a fan of Harrison's Hollows books for me.

- Ivy is just background noise at this point (except of course, for the steamy kiss I guess the female fans of this series have been clamoring for). She exists solely as an emotional blanket for Rachel. This is most apparent by the fact that Ivy (the archetypical one-note hot, sexy female vampire) could be replaced by anyone, and nothing about the story would change. At all.

- Al has gone from being a menacing, evil demon earlier in the series, to a regular guy with muscular shoulders and goat-slitted eyes. Rachel can say whatever she wants, and he just goes with it, where three books ago it would have earned her a backhand. My issue here is that he went from an inhuman demon totally without morals or scruples to just a regular guy who cares about Rachel, which really is par for the course in the continuing fanfic comparison where the lead character has to become the absolute center of the universe for the entire cast of a series. Speaking of which...

- Everyone else's needs, desires, or wants become absolutely transparent or disappear entirely in the face of Rachel's needs. Everyone becomes a backdrop, a blank tapestry, which is a shame because some of these characters had really had a lot of development in earlier books, only now to be relegated to scene dressing. A shame. Let's run through them. As I said, Ivy, emotional blanket. Al, the worried friend who wishes they were dating. Pierce (himself an absolutely pulled-out-of-Harrison's ass fabrication in WWBC) had a bit of backstory which culminated in a sexual encounter in a dirty little hole in the ground covered by a grimy blanket (again, something that would happen in trashy fanfic garbage, nowhere else) a book or two ago, is now just the hat-wearing black-magic-ball shooting sidekick. Jenks, always good for a one-liner as he chastises Rachel for something trivial. And then there's Trent...

- Trent. This is the worst part of the entire series. Ok, all I can say is: WHAAAATTT? Trent Kalamack is a murderer, druglord who runs Brimstone, and has dealings in illegal bio-technology. We know this because it's mentioned verbatim many, many times throughout the first what, six or seven books? This same guy has tried to kill, not hurt, injure, or even annoy in a minor way, but KILL Rachel multiple times. MULTIPLE times. She HATES him for (and because of) this. He is a scumbag. This was established canon. Or at least it was until the author decided to listen to her fans (who apparently demanded that Rachel be physically attracted to every single other male character in the series) and completely and totally downplay Trent the murdering millionaire into some garbage that culminates with him telling her "I've trusted you since camp." WHAT? WHAAAAAT? I almost threw my Nook into the trash at that point because I was so disgusted. You've always trusted her? Dude, you told her point blank "If you don't remove my familiar mark, I will try to kill you (again)." This, after you smashed her head into a tombstone. This, after you caged her and entered her into illegal rat-fights where she could have been killed. This...I could go on, but I think the point is made. This has just become poor, sloppy writing. The author could have introduced a new character to become Rachel's "interest", choosing instead to undo several books worth of characterization with one poorly written book that completely does not reflect the character she created. Trent is a condescending rich jerk who sees Rachel is a foolish chimp who can be bought for an envelope full of money, to be sent off to do whatever dirty-handed errand he wants her to do, and who can be manipulated into doing so relatively easily. All of a sudden, by the end of this book, he's suddenly infatuated with her and they made out (albeit in Rachel's hallucination caused by her soul re-entering her body).

- Last but not least: BLACK MAGIC. In the first several books, Rachel was an earth witch, who accidentally learned she could do ley line magic. In the last few books however, the earth witch thing has fallen completely by the wayside (along with a lot of the previously established characterization as I've mentioned already). Now, she spindles ley line energy into her head and walks right into whatever, and she's fine because she can (and will) use black magic at the drop of a hat now. In fact, it doesn't even bother her anymore. In the first few books, she twisted a few demon curses, and took the smut, and it was this world-ending "OMG DEMON SMUT ON MY AURA, I'M FOREVER TAINTED!" moment each time. Now, using black magic is a regular occurrence. And she's completely fine with it. I'm aware that some of it is this scrabbled together sub-sub-subplot about how maybe black magic users aren't all bad, but seriously? She's no longer an earth witch, which is contrary to how she used to see herself. And it wasn't even an evolution, which is the problem. Somewhere around book five or six, she went from being an earth witch who could spindle ley line energy into a ley line witch who feels naked if she doesn't have a headful of ever-after saved up, ready to throw at someone. And worse, it was a plot point in book three or four where she felt she was a novice, and not good enough at ley line magic, but of course, all that fell by the wayside, and now she's a master ley line witch who can pull lines through people, and hold more energy than anyone else in history, and blast people, and, and, and, and basically whatever other ability Harrison comes up with on the fly to explain why Rachel doesn't get killed at that point by whatever she's facing. It's just sloppy. Case in point: that ridiculous scene where she creates a "virtual reality" memory for the demons to enjoy in that restaurant scene in the Ever-after with Al. What kind of contrived BS was that? Gah.

In conclusion, there are several more plot points that were totally rushed, that came out of nowhere, or that didn't match up with previous characterization or laid out groundwork of this book's universe. Let me be honest, I hate to put up an in-depth slam of this book because I HAVE enjoyed most of this series. But really, that's the problem. How can Kim Harrison go from writing some heart-wrenching scenes like the death of Matalina and Rachel twisting the curse to shrink down so she can be there to comfort Jenks, or the discovery of Kisten's death and the slow reconstruction of her memory...to total slammed together garbage like this book? I was disappointed, frankly. I am hoping that the next book somehow realigns what I enjoy about the series, and that Ms. Harrison goes back and rereads her own earlier books so she remembers what it is about these characters that drew so many fans in the first place. This book effectively ends with Rachel having a clean slate, with all of her current, major issues solved. The next book will make or break my continued interest in this series, as I do not have an issue with dropping a series cold, I've done it before.

In defense of Rachel Morgan/The Hollows:

Why write a decent review for Pale Demon?

Holy cow. What a book. Up, down, left, right, inside out. I feel pulled in a million different directions, beat up, put back together, and ripped apart again.

Poor Rachel. She goes through more and more hell!!!

Best installment yet!

"Pale Demon" is the ninth installment in the Hollows series by the amazing, Kim Harrison.
If your a fan of The Hollows series already, then this was a must read for you. If your like me, then you were begging for this installment since you finished "BMS" and ofcourse after reading this I can happily say, it's my favorite of the series. Yes, there were more emotionally written intstallments in this series, but this was just too good to be true. Only bad thing is, the next one Best installment yet!

"Pale Demon" is the ninth installment in the Hollows series by the amazing, Kim Harrison.
If your a fan of The Hollows series already, then this was a must read for you. If your like me, then you were begging for this installment since you finished "BMS" and ofcourse after reading this I can happily say, it's my favorite of the series. Yes, there were more emotionally written intstallments in this series, but this was just too good to be true. Only bad thing is, the next one won't be out for another year. *Pulls hair out waiting!*

I don't want to give any major spoilers, but I have to say, I loved the interaction between Rachel and Trent.
Trent was always a favorite of mine, but not as much as he is now. Trent opens up, yeah, I know..sounds too good to be true, right? But he honeslty does grow as a character and we see a whole new side of him. It's definitely exciting.

Al is my favorite as always. Although he's the "bad guy", he's my favorite for Rachel. He's right for her, in a weird, sick kind of way. If your also a fan of Al, then this novel is a slam dunk for you. He isn't in the beggining as much as I'd like, but he comes through from the middle to end strong.

Jenks. Jenks. Jenks. Am I ever glad he's still going strong. I don't know what I'd do without him in this series. He's what makes this series what it is. "Pale Demon" shows him trying to grow withouth Malida. He's ajusting, although it isn't easy for him. He misses his wife, but he's trying to move on with his life. But Jenks is Jenks and he still makes you laugh with his quirky sayings. His loyalty is amirable, he truly is a great character. One of the best.

Ivy has grown imendesly in this instalemment. I never thought I'd see the day of how much Ivy has matured as a vampire. Her happiness is something we've never seen, and I like seening it.
Rachel is the same old Rachel. Yes, she's grown, but she still makes Rachel mistakes. Though, that's why we love her -lol. I love Rachel, she's one of my favorite female characters. She's smart, pretty, funny and can kick major butt. There's no lack of butt kicking in this novel, that's for sure.

Over all I'd rate this novel a 10 out of 5! (Yes, I know impossible, but it really was that good!) It was non-stop action and was full of twists. I had a hard time putting it down to eat. It was one for the shelves, and worth every penny.

WOW!!

This is a complicated book to review. Not because it wasn't well-done - I think it was an extremely well-written book, and will rank way up there as my favorite in the series.

No, this is complicated because my feelings regarding the character arcs are complicated.

Let's start with Rachel.

I was thrilled - THRILLLED - to see her develop a spine in this book. Let me clarify what I mean. Rachel is a good guy. She has helped bad people on more than one occasion, simply because she feels firmly th ...more

I was bored. I wanted it to be over.

This is book 9. I feel like the author has nothing left to write about. It’s lots of conversation about very little. When bad guys appear, Rachel solves the problem by pulling on a ley line and using magic.

My biggest problem is I don’t like Rachel. She doesn’t show humility. She acts like a bratty snotty teenager. Most of the time she argues, gets angry, and threatens. There is a lot of “You did this? Well I’m going to do that to you.”

It was action packed, so much happened, so much changed, and then changed again, and again! We got to see a new side to some of our favorite characters, were able to really understand others.

As always, I'm in awe of Kim Harrison's talent and ways of crafting, building and spinning everything, to every little detail and word said.

Whatever, I'm fangirling, but I'm happy I can still enjoy this series so much years later! That shit is rare nowadays, my friends! :D

***January 2011***
Pale Demon review on my blog
First off, I need to say that I finally understand why people say this book is THE BOOK of the series and why it is everyone's favorite - it's mine too. It has it all: great humor, non-stop action, nail-bitting suspense, strong, like-able characters, and just a touch of romance, enough to make your heart beat loudly in your chest. I love, love, love it!

It could be because all my favorite characters are brought together on a hell of a road-trip and they all showed the best in them. I was smiling throughout the whole book - if I wasn’ t laughing out loud or staring open-mouthed at the page, that is. If in other books of the series sometimes I felt like slapping Rachel because of her decisions, in this one she has me completely on her side. She proves just how strong she is, how much she cares about her friends and she even starts to accept her past actions and who she really is. It's like she finally grows up.

Ivy was there in the right place in the right time, as always, but I would have liked to see more of her character. I think Jenks had some better moments in the previous books, but he’ s still the most adorable and fun character and a reliable addition to the team. Oh, and I still don’ t like Pierce – actually, at some point I was wondering why didn’ t someone just kill him right then, right there. And Trent… well…*inserts dreamy sigh here* he is quite a piece of work! I was glad because I could finally get him better, he was a constant (infuriating and delicious) presence in this book. As I was reading, I even wanted to hug him or to slap him silly or just to jump him!:)) I don't want to spoil the book for you, but there are some pretty nice teasing moments that will make any Trent fan swoon.

There were also some touchy moments that I really liked, because they gave me the chance to feel more connected to the characters and to understand them better. I missed this kind of scenes in the last couple of books.

All in all, it was a very enjoyable read and the ending was very satisfying – it wasn’ t a cliff hanger to make me pull my hair out in frustration until the next book came out, but it was still open, with a lot of unanswered questions and possibilities, so I can't wait to see what happens next!
Fun, fast-paced and with a lot of twists and turns to keep you entertained, Pale Demon is indeed the book of the series. Kim Harrison is a fabulous writer and a great storyteller, who made me close the door to reality completely and devour every page of her book - and always eager to read more of her work! ...more

My English review

Ah there it is, I can not stop myself from reading the whole series and I finally ordered all the remaining volumes which will allow me to read them the ones after the others. By cons it is true that I am very anxious to see the end coming as it means that I’ll have to leave Rachel behind soon. Yes I know I still have a few volumes, but it will arrive anyway.

My English review

Ah there it is, I can not stop myself from reading the whole series and I finally ordered all the remaining volumes which will allow me to read them the ones after the others. By cons it is true that I am very anxious to see the end coming as it means that I’ll have to leave Rachel behind soon. Yes I know I still have a few volumes, but it will arrive anyway.

The conclusion of my reading? I loved this volume! It was just awesome and I had a great time with the whole story. Well I’m going to start with the beginning of the story. The end of the previous volume had left her only with one choice, but to go to the witches annual conference to apologize for using black magic. This is a very important event because it would allow her to take off her shunned situation hanging over her and so return to her life. Alas, nothing is or will be simple.

I was very surprised by reading the summary to see that Trent would accompany our heroine on the way for the witches’ meeting and it is true that I was curious to see why. But fortunately for him, Rachel has a heart of gold and eventually capitulates and takes him on the road to assist him in his own quest. But this way will be far without pitfalls! Oh yes, between a powerful entity who is determined to attack our heroine, Jenks disappearing, elf assassins, Pierce and Vivian present during a part of the trip or the time limit imputed to them, our heroine will have to manage a lot of things at once.

I was completely caught up by the story from the beginning of the novel! I must say that a lot of things happen over the chapters. It was also very interesting to see Trent throughout the history, it’s been a long time since we had seen him that much. By cons it is true that his actions make us want to shake him more than once. He does not realize what he is doing and at the same time he has a plan predetermined all along. As a reader, we are also curious to know what he wants to steal from his ex-fiancé’s family and I confess that I had already read the novella avout that so it’s true that I wasn’t really surprised. But in all cases he will be present for our heroine as much as possible in his own way. Rachel will have to manage her friends, the consequences of her actions and this elf who makes her life a living hell. I was very anxious for her after some choices and some events and I was not necessarily sure she would manage to escape. Treasons, conspiracies and broken promises will be present throughout the story. We will also have the chance to see what Rachel can do and we’ll learn a little more about what she is, something that will not be easy. But do not doubt as Kim Harrison is full of surprises and you will be dazzled by her ideas.

So yes it was a beautiful volume that takes us through several states. The conversation at the end of the novel with Ivy made me terribly sick at heart and it’s true that it’s something that I did not expect that at all, and what Trent did shortly after also surprised me and touched me. I can not wait to see how everything will eventually evolve and to attend all the changes in Rachel’s life, as her life is just going to change completely.

A huge surprise again and I can tell you that I love to follow our beloved heroine. ...more

Easily the best book in the series so far! Rachel has to get to the west coast for the witch counsel to decide her fate. Trent has a mysterious mission he has to head out west for, so road trip time! I’ve gotta admit it got off to a rocky start. Trent was being a complete and utter asshat, and Rachel was whiny and irritating. Then it got wicked good once the demons got involved.

Ninth in the paranormal/urban fantasy series, The Hollows, starring Rachel Morgan, Pale Demon follows along with the general theme of titles twisted along Clint Eastwood movies, although it doesn't have the same kick as the earlier books.

In 2011, Pale Demon was nominated for the Goodreads Choice Award for Best Paranormal Fantasy.

Three and a half stars, rounding up to 4.

I'd been losing interest in the Rachel Morgan series for a while because she was too static a character. Her emotional reactions in book #8 were virtually identical to book#1 (self-doubt, compensating rush to intimacy, fear and pulling-away, self-berating, failed attempt to regain intimacy), and I just think it's time for her to grow up.

I'd been losing interest in the Rachel Morgan series for a while because she was too static a character. Her emotional reactions in book #8 were virtually identical to book#1 (self-doubt, compensating rush to intimacy, fear and pulling-away, self-berating, failed attempt to regain intimacy), and I just think it's time for her to grow up. Frequently had a bipolar reaction during confrontations, and that's still present here: pretending to be disinterested/in control, then disdainful, then flirty and escalating to shouting/violence. Same stuff, different books. Maybe because I've let the series slide, or because Rachel is growing up a little bit, I enjoyed this book a bit more. She is still making the mistake of refusing to do something on principle, but then ending up doing that very thing moments later. Thankfully, once she gets in the car with Trent, that moment is over. I'm not sure if that's the only way Harrison knows how to write Rachel's motivation, or if that's all her character's got. As I said, it's one of the main reasons I've lost interest in Rachel, and she no longer comes close to favorite UF heroine.

Readers might also have trouble with Trent's mysterious elven quest and it's results. An attempt is made to modernize the quest analogy, but it falls a little flat, since it's so mysterious, no one can know anything about it until it's over. It's a quest of dubious ethical standards, and it's unfortunate that Rachel falls for the result. I don't think Harrison set it up enough that the reader can feel confident Trent and Jenks acted by a moral standard, and Rachel becomes complicit in the results. I also question to what extent his success will allow him to "control the future of the elven race." If he is sincere, Rachel should run, run, run, because he is still viewing other people and entities as means to an end. (view spoiler) I've always kind of liked Trent and thought Rachel/ Harrison has a soft spot for him as well; we've been able to see the lonely, sympathetic side. I've never really bought him as the evil Brimstone dealer, but this is proving to be worse anyhow--he truly is willing to sacrifice anyone (and I do mean anyone) to his grand scheme.

Otherwise it was written well, with nice integration of the landscape--I think this is the first we've heard about deserted towns and the desolation of middle to west, but it makes sense in the America Harrison created. There's also a very neat twist on demon magic that merits applause. It's a new development for the world, and yet fully integrated with the magic system in place. That's a nice trick to pull off in book 9 of a series.

Overall, I enjoyed it and finished it within a couple of days. To me it felt like a nice balance of action and down time--it's just not realistic or fun to be careening from one disaster to the next all the time. I enjoyed the world-building in the demon bar a great deal. It doesn't work very well as a stand-alone book at this point, but I'm sure most people wouldn't pick up book 9 without having read one or two other books in the series at least. Harrison does make an attempt to do a fast background/ context for readers, but it's very light on background. PNR fans might be disappointed as there is little emphasis on developing romantic intimacy. In all, it will definitely merit a re-read at some point, and might make it into my permanent collection. ...more

Pale Demon is book 9 in The Hollows series by Kim Harrison and all I can say is, if you have come this far, why stop now. Harrison has said that the series will roughly end with books 12-13, so though this book wrapped up some major storylines, I think a wonderful setup has happened and this is going to upset many readers.

I might as well just say it. I loved this book. Loved. Loved. Loved this book. I read somewhere that this has been Kim Harrison's favorite book in the Hollows series so far and I can see why. I left feeling exhilarated --like absolutely anything could happen next. That is no small feat for the 9th book in a series; it would be so easy to let things to get stale.

Where do I begin? Well, begrudgingly, I can say I wasn't in love with the beginning of the book. As advertised, Rachel is taking a road I might as well just say it. I loved this book. Loved. Loved.

Where do I begin? Well, begrudgingly, I can say I wasn't in love with the beginning of the book. As advertised, Rachel is taking a road trip from Cincinnati to San Francisco. She is going to the annual witches council meeting to get her shunning removed. Instead of her planned flight with Jenks... She ends up driving, in a car that's getting increasingly crowded... with an elf, a pixy, a vampire and two other witches. Rachel is struggling to stay alive as the council tries to get her before she reaches her destination. To complicate matters more, she is babysitting Trent, who is on a mysterious elf quest. And along the way, we meet a genetically engineered day-walking demon, who likes to eat souls and wreak havoc. Nothing Rachel can't handle, right?

For me, the story hit its stride once Rachel faced off with the coven in San Francisco. And frankly, that was sooner than I expected. (I thought the road trip would last the whole book, but it was really more like 1/3 of it.) Her time in the ever-after is captivating. I loved having a peek inside the demon culture. I was enthralled getting to really know Al and Newt. And holy-freaking-cow, there was one scene at Al's place that blew me away. I think I read it four times before I could move on. I won't spoil it, but if you've read the book, you know the part I'm talking about.

We have huge, huge developments surrounding what Rachel is and how she sees herself. We have (yet another) major shift in the relationship between Ivy and Rachel... one that leaves me wondering about their future. We see possibilities and (what appears to be) resolution surrounding Rachel's relationship with Pierce. And there are colossal changes in Rachel's feelings for Al and Trent.

So much happens over the course of this book, when I look back to the beginning it's hard to believe it was all part of the same story. And even though we've "known" some of these characters since Dead Witch Walking, I feel like we're really getting to see inside a few of them for the first time. And I love it. And I absolutely can not wait to see what happens next. I'd give it more than 5 stars if I could.
