Publisher's summary

New York Times best-selling author Kim Harrison returns to the Hollows with the electrifying follow-up to her acclaimed Pale Demon!

Ritually murdered corpses are appearing across Cincinnati, terrifying amalgams of human and other. Pulled in to help investigate by the I.S. and the FIB, former witch turned day-walking demon Rachel Morgan soon realizes a horrifying truth: a human hate group is trying to create its own demons to destroy all Inderlanders, and to do so, it needs her blood.

She's faced vampires, witches, werewolves, demons, and more, but humanity itself might be her toughest challenge yet.

I loved this whole series!

I enjoyed this series so much that I have listened to it twice. I did not enjoy book six as much as the others as I had become accustomed to Marguerite Gavin as narrator (who does a sterling job!) and I just could not get used to the change in narrator. I found the incorrect pronunciation of names and places distracting but I stuck with it as I wanted to continue on with the series. Well worth a listen!

Rachel, Kim & Marguerite still have it!

Hard to believe I bought book 1 for my Daughter, only to get totally addicted myself. But somehow this crew still keeps me listening and happy after 10 books. It???s really only predictable in knowing that Rachel will do something incredibly risky and stupid to solve her problems. But that's where the entertainment lies.

It's well crafted nutty escapism at it's finest.

A Perfect Book

Would you consider the audio edition of A Perfect Blood to be better than the print version?

Being classified as dead, with a newly acknowledged demon status, and magically neutered like a dog, doesn't suck nearly as much as having to deal with the frustratingly idiotic bureaucracy of the DMV. Rachel Morgan isn't having a very good life, or afterlife according to the governmental powers that be. But when a low level department minion offers Rachel a case, she quickly finds herself entangled in the plans of a domestic terrorist organization known as HAPA or Humans Against Paranormals Association. The hate group's goal is to eradicate paranormals. Too bad Rachel's about as effective as a human right now with the binding cutting her off from the everafter and her magic. She'll have to bide her time until she can get the unbinding done. Unfortunately Rachel's blood is the key to their mission, and they're doing everything they can to get to her.

Kim Harrison's latest installment of the Hollows is simply seductive. A Perfect Blood draws you in and keeps you wanting more even after you've reached the end. Ten books deep into the series, Harrison has a firm grasp on the world and characters. The solidly established foundation allows her to focus on story lines and having a little fun with her writing. The plot was very interesting, I loved how inventive Harrison was in expanding everything she's built and incorporated real world concerns, then translating them into her paranormal world. It's always nice when an author avoids the well worn or expected story lines.

Rachel Morgan is feeling stuck, her roommates are moving on, but I think Morgan's acceptance is the next step in her growth. I like Trent's growth and direction, he and Rachel are still dancing around each other. I'm waiting for that love affair to explode into action. It can't be just me who'd love to see a demon elf baby. Though I'm not sure how much longer this series will continue considering the growing separation between Ivy, Morgan, and Janks which makes everything feel like it's ending.

This is THE series that got me hooked on audiobooks. There were about eight books out when I gave it a go and I really can't imagine experiencing this series any other way. If you've been thinking about trying audiobooks the Hollows is a great place to start. Marguerite Gavin is an amazing narrator, especially in this series. Gavin's voice is so belovedly associated with Rachel Morgan that there was a huge backlash when another narrator read the sixth book. In a way the switch just highlighted how good Gavin is, she really brings the books to life, and makes The Hollows one of my favorite series.

A Perfect Blood is another outstanding book, both written and read. So read it, or listen to it, either way don't miss out on this one.

Great installment in the series!

Rachel continues to find herself in trouble but with a human hate group hunting her and witches carrying the Rosewood virus, Rachel had to rely on others. I really enjoy this series!

i think its my favorite in the series

Morgan kicks ass!!! She is an ever deepening character that I never want to end.

The Perfect Buds

What a mind rush reading & or listening to this fantastical series by Kim.Rachel learns to accept who she is & works on taking on the responsabilties that goes with power.The three Stooges trio of Rachel,Ivy & Jenks is changing,trickling down to the strange but interesting duo of Rachel & Trent.Is there romance aswell as adventure in the air for these two,I look forward to finding out in the next few remaining books of the series.Marguerite once again is amazing with doing all the voices,giving them individuality & keeping track of so many character's.The 19th,20th & the 21st chapter's though,she sounds a little strung out,a little slurred but seems to be back to her old self after those chapters.I give her credit for doing such a great job & doing a great performance.

Kim Harrison does it again!!

I love this series. It is great for anyone who loves UF (urban fantasy) books. Some of you out there love UF, but are not into the x-rated love stories some UF books have. This series only has one or two love scenes inthe whole series, but all of the passion. The characters are so easy to relate to and absolutly loveable! Kim Harrison's books have never let me down!

THe narrator, Marguerite Gavin is amazing! I listened to the Kitty Norville series (by Carrie Vaugn) mainly because Marguerite Gavin narrated it (it is also an must listen to series!!) You just can't go wrong with these books...If you have not read this series yet...start with the 1st book (Dead Witch Walking). You do need to read them in order, or else it won't make sense. But the growth of the characters is a great ride! I hope this helps and happy listening!!

Another great book

This series keeps getting better. Rachel is a great character. Not ony is she evolving but so are the supporting characters. I can't wait to see how her relationship with Trent is developed in the next book.

Rachel being Rachel Stubborn to the end.

I really enjoyed the book even though, it is so frustrating.

It was so frustrating watching Rachel walk around for most of the storyline with that bracelet that took away her demon magic. She has all of his raw demon power and doesn't use it.

Even after she gets the bracelet off, it still seems like she is helpless because it's so hard for her to use her powers.

It was good to See Rachel and Trent work together and start to bond the way they should.
Seems like her and Trent will eventually become lovers.

Overall I enjoyed the book and recommend the series.

Great continued series!😊

I have read other reviews. But I myself did very much appreciated and loved it.😊
