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.

Still awesome

After so many books in the series Rachel Morgan is still an amazing read! If anything, the books become better and better.

Another great read by Kim Harrison

I loved this book! Hearing Rachel’s and Trent’s relationship evolve was everything! Can’t wait to start the next book!!

The reviews don't do this justice

I usually don't write reviews on amazon or audible, but I had to defend this book. I was very hesitant getting this because of all the negative reviews, but took a chance anyway with very low expectations. I kept waiting for the bad silly things to happen - no dice! This was wonderful. Seemed to me Rachel was actually less silly than usual, not once did I find myself thinking - oh not, not again Rachel. She finally grew up! I loved the story, the narration was wonderful as always, it was a meaningful step forward for all characters. I came late to this series, so I'm having a great time powering through all these books without having to wait for the next one. Ignore the negative press, this book does not deserve it.

Good book

Any additional comments?

Very good series and book! Plenty of witchy and vampire action. Character development and world building is phenomenal. The narrator did a great job too!

I love this series!

This is one of my favorite series. I am enjoying the whole Rachel as a demon and what that's going to mean going forward for not only Rachel, but for the world as a whole. I like the dynamic of Rachel and Trent and the whole will they or won't they thing. I am also intrigued by what may happen with Al and Lucy and Rae. Marguerite Gavin is great as narrator.

Keeps Getting Better

If you could sum up A Perfect Blood in three words, what would they be?

Extraordinary, Simply, Extraordinary

Who was your favorite character and why?

I am falling in love with Trent. You can't put him in a box. He can be coldly homicidal, then turn around and be protective of those he loves. It looks like Kim Harrison is writing towards a romantic relationship between Trent and Rachel.

Which character – as performed by Marguerite Gavin – was your favorite?

Rachel

Any additional comments?

Often, these paranormal fantasy books become bland as they get longer. Kim keeps finding ways to keep the series new and enjoyable. I look forward to book 11.

another great story

there aren't many books left in the series...I'm hoping they are all as good as this and that there will be more!

Kim Harrison is a Genius!!

This series is getting better and better with every book. I love the way Kim Harrison portraits Rachel. She has grown so much since the first book and even though the poor woman has the worst luck in the world. She never seems sour or whiny; she keeps her beliefs as a shield and grows more confident in every book. I particular like that in this book we get to see and understand more of Trent. He is also changing and becoming more mature and understanding.

Marguerite Gavin 's narration was perfect. I love all her voices especially her Jenk's voice. She makes me laugh every time :o)

I absolutely love these books and can’t wait for the next installment. Kim Harrison you are a genius!!!

love this series

I just want to say that I LOVE this series. not only do I own all the books and have read them over the years I now own the audios as well. my only complaint is with Rachel being so whiney all the time. she never sticks up for herself when she has the world at her finger tips. just grow a pair and quit being so insecure for Pete's sakes..

Good, but I feel not much really happened.

I am still loving this series. I think that Kim Harrison does a great job, but in the last two book I am wondering if she is missing some direction. This book got rid of something from the last book, something that we all knew wouldn't last long. Then it introduced a new enemy faction, as well as a possibly friendly faction. introduced, but didn't really flesh out. This book was just Rachel being Rachel, fighting even if she shouldn't, not listening to good advice, yelling at the world and saying she can take them. She is still a mix of awesome and frustrating for me, but that is awesome because I would be sad if she changed.

I just wonder if this entire book could have been cut down to maybe a 4 hour short story. Just not enough really happened, and while the journey was good, it wasn't as great as some of her previous ones.

I would still recommend the entire series though, including this book.
