Publisher's Summary

"It isn’t easy to write a protagonist that blends the best qualities of Anita Blake and Stephanie Plum, but Kim Harrison carries it off with style. This is a fun book! Read it!" (Jim Butcher, number one New York Times best-selling author)

In the Hollows, the vampires come out to play...and it’s always witching hour.

The first book in number one New York Times best-selling author Kim Harrison’s Hollows series!

All the creatures of the night gather in "the Hollows" of Cincinnati, to hide, to prowl, to party...and to feed.

Vampires rule the darkness in a predator-eat-predator world rife with dangers beyond imagining - and it’s Rachel Morgan’s job to keep that world civilized.

A bounty hunter and a witch with serious sex appeal and an attitude, she’ll bring ’em back alive, dead...or undead.

Good story but main character is annoying

Don’t read/listen if you don’t like annoying and immature characters. Seriously I think I hate Rachel. Having said that the storyline is pretty good and I hate that you have to experience it through her POV. My advice is to get familiar with the fast forward button, it’s a godsend when she gets unbearable. Narrator is great. Janks and his family make a lot of it bearable.

A witch, a vampire and a pixie walk into a bar....

What a wonderful romp in a fun world. A new twist at every turn and an education in how not to get a vampire all hot and bothered. I had read other books in this series and had never been disappointed. This is an enjoyable listen and leaves you wanting to follow the characters in their future adventures.

Now I remember why i stopped listening to these

The overall story is really good and i enjoy it a lot but the main character is so annoying. Constantly getting angry and taking it out on others for no reason, stepping over lines without thought for anyone but herself, not taking advice or listening to anyone else which lands herself and others in peril......I could go on but you get the point. I realize there are a lot of main leads that do this but it's constant with her and so irritating that it's not worth it. Hate to do it but I'm returning the book.

Awesome series!!

Definitely not romance genre. Urban Fantasy maybe. ??? Idk. Excellent storyline. Lots of humor and interesting characters. I love this book. I am very excited to grab the next in line.

Dead Witch Walking

The story got off to a slow start but I was drawn in pretty quickly. So, I'll probably read the next one to see if it's a series I really like.

Fun listen

You know you’re hooked to the storyline when you usually listen for about 15 to 30 minutes of audio book before bed, but instead you keep extending your sleep timer for another 30 minutes or just “one” more chapter. While the Narrators voice was just OK, it didn’t distract too much from the storyline. Her voice would break during certain vowel sounds, which was odd and a little distracting but overall it was a good listen. There were some parts that seemed a little obvious and you’re left wondering why the characters who are usually very astute managed to completely miss things, their “aha” moments coming well after your own, even though you know exactly the same amount of information that they do. A couple of things were unanswered and felt overlooked but perhaps will come up in the next book. I am definitely going to listen to the next one!

great book

I loved this book and I can't wait to hear the whole series I'm so excited!!!!

great story

I love this story each book gets better. Cant wait for the next one. Fast pased never quiting excitement and each book has a happy ending usually at the church.
