Demon's Bluff

By: Kim Harrison

Narrated by: Marguerite Gavin

Rachel Morgan must go on a deadly journey—into the past—in the next thrilling Hollows novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling series.

What’s a witch to do when the coven of moral and ethical standards demands she untwist a curse—but an essential spell component no longer exists? There’s only one choice: go back in time.

Caught between self-exile and an Alcatraz cell, Rachel must find an Atlantean mirror to reverse the curse and prove to Cincinnati’s brand-new witch coven that, no, she does not practice illicit magic. Unfortunately, the only mirror of its kind in existence belonged to the insane demon Newt, forcing Rachel to go to the past to bargain with her for it.

But the time-travel spell goes awry, dragging Elyse, the young leader of the coven, into the past with Rachel. They expect to land five years in the past but instead arrive two days before Rachel’s long-lost love, Kisten, dies. Heartbroken and torn, Rachel knows she can't change the past.

Even with no allies, Rachel still has one thing going for her: Cincinnati is her city, now and forever. If she can find a way to work with Newt and prevent Elyse from becoming the demon’s next familiar, they might all get home.

OH MY NEWT

This was absolutely, hands down, one thousand percent the best book in the series. If you read it alone, you wouldn't understand. But having traveled though so many years and stories and so much growth with Rachel... This is the best book by far. A mature Rachel traveling incognito ish with a young version of herself and hitting all the greatest hits of some previous books? literally can't get better. I loved this.

Rachel Morgan does it again

I have been a reader of this series since the very beginning. I love the stories and Ms Gavin's narration. Each story gives us more insight into Rachel....and another chance to say" Rachel, no! don't do it!".

So good! One of the best of the series.

I've been a long time fan of the series, and this book made me so happy. It's an excellent edition to the series and closes some previous loopholes in unexpected ways.

Action / love / heartbreak

The hollows are what got me into listening to books 10/10 loved every book however sad this is the last

Another Gem - Must Listen

What makes the Hollows series so amazing is that the stories are jam packed with action, and at the same time full of heart and great passion. Of course, Marguerite Gavin is the most brilliant narrator/performer spanning all of the audiobooks!! Every other narrator comes in a distant second to Marguerite Gavin. Thank you Kim Harrison for writing another amazing adventure with Rachel Morgan.
