Publisher's summary

Condemned and shunned for black magic, Rachel Morgan has three days to get to the annual witches' conference and clear her name, or be trapped in the demonic ever-after - forever after.

But a witch, an elf, a living vampire, anda pixy in one car, going across the country? Talk about a recipe for certain disaster, even without being the targets for assassination.

For after centuries of torment, a fearsome demon walks in the sunlight, freed at last to slay the innocent and devour their souls. But his ultimate goal is Rachel Morgan, and in the fight for survival that follows, even embracing her own demonic nature may not be enough to save her.

Another Winner!

I have enjoyed listening to this entire series, so far. This book obviously advances the overall storyline and does so in the typically wonderful way of the previous books. For me, toning done the love-lines in this book made it more enjoyable. If you liked the other books in this series, you won't be disappointed. In fact, I think this book lifts the series a notch!

The game has changed.

I can't say that I saw this coming...but I can't say that I didn't either. Rachel has been on this course for quite a while. I will go on record as saying that if she ever gets into a "relationship" with Al, I will probably be done with the series.

There are some poignant moments between Ivy and Rachel in this one. But what made me shake my head more than once was the predictable "yes I will...no I won't" thing that Rachel devolves into every single time that she deals with Trent. Seriously, after a while, this supernatural Rachel and Ross pairing needs to just happen.

The biggest thing is Rachel's quest to get her shunning removed. While there is resolution to this, it may not be satisfying to some. For me, that was actually what made this story better. There was no "simple cut-and-dried" solution. As in reality, the solution is layered and complex.

On to the next one.

Better

What made the experience of listening to Pale Demon the most enjoyable?

This book was definitely better than the last two in my opinion. They've finally resolved the Ivy/Rachel lesbian weirdness stuff. Please don't get me wrong; I have no issues with gay/lesbian pairings. I love Pam and Lafayette from SVM. What was pissing me off was the whole, try it you never know you might like it, crap. It got old really fast. There were some surprises, to include a death I didn't see coming, along with some predictable stuff as well. There are questions left to be answered as well. Several of mine revolve around the Demons and the "Coven" but I won't get into them so I don't leave spoilers. Still worth the price of the audible credit and I will continue with the next book in the series after I finish with Gena Showalter's latest.

while needed one of the least enjoyable.

I didn't enjoy this book as much as the other books in the series. The villain is a paper cut out of a cartoon evil villian. Sadly it was needed for the overall story, to continue the rest of the series the main character did need to go through most of it but it seemed rushed and forced by the author. The narrator is great, editing as well. I just wish that the author hadn't gone the way she had.
