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.

A hell of a story!

Another Kim Harrison book that you won't be able to put down. It's worth the two credits.

Still entertaining

I was worried about purchasing this book, when so many reviewers complained about the cost. I paid 2 credits and still loved the book. Yes Rachel is flawed. But that is no different that any of the other books. I enjoyed the story line and the narrator. All I can think is that the other reviewers were so mad about the price, they ignored the story. I see now the price has lower so maybe people won't be so negative on this series. Still well written and entertaining no matter the price. If you like the other books, you should enjoy this as well.

Great series! I have loved every book!

Awesome characters and plots, love the demon Al and can’t wait for the next book!

Another Great Hollows Book

I had trouble figuring out why the pack was involved with this story. Where were they in the last book?

It keeps getting better

Where does A Perfect Blood rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This book is toward the top. After listening to the previous books, I like how the characters are evolving.

What did you like best about this story?

It had everything I like in a book. I laughed at parts, I cried at parts. There was intense action. Character development. It made me not only like the book but appreciate the series more and look forward to where it was going.

In addition, Kim Harrison is very good about making you feel present in the scene and like you are having a conversation with the characters. The narration between dialog is exciting and full of personality.

What does Marguerite Gavin bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She's an excellent narrator. I like the variance in voices. Plus she acts them out and does an excellent job putting emotion and action in the whole story, not just dialog. I think you wouldn't get as much of Rachel's personality by just reading it. I can't put my finger on it, but I'm glad I listened to it rather than read it.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

oh yeah. I listen in the car on my commute and was actually hoping for traffic.

Any additional comments?

The only down side is I wish there was less

HAPA Happy Day

Was it slow? Yes but Rachel is at a turning point, she has had to come with the terms of her new status, give her some room. Harrison is building a new plot again she needed this filler book to get us there. I missed Al he will definitely be around in the future.

Another great installment

In this volume, Rachel deals with a hate-group that wants to annihilate all magical/supernatural species, and they need her blood to accomplish their mission. A few engaging new characters are introduced. I am particularly fond of Wade, Rachel's bodyguard. And Rachel and Trent learn to be friends. (Friendship really is the basis of all great relationships.) It is a solid installment to a really interesting series. And yes; Marguerite Gavin is wonderful.

Was expecting bettter.

Would have been better if Rachel, being demon, kicked more butt, rather than her butt getting kicked. Would like to see her a bit more bad ass. I still enjoyed the book and love all the characters, Looking forward to the next one, hopefully it will come out soon.

More of the same

If you haven't read any of the Hollows series you really should not start here. While you likely wouldn't be lost you would be short changing yourself out of a lot of surprises.

That being said, people who are returning to the series will find more of the same. If you've enjoyed the books as much as I have that is good news.

Now I gave the story 4 stars because the main plot that has been developing across the recent books doesn't really progress much, which is a bit disappointing. Don't get me wrong the plot does introduce a new group of friends or foes? and adds a bit of character development.

As has been the case all along Marguerite Gavin continues her great performance and really adds a lot of enjoyment to the book. Without her these books might lose a lot.

In the end if you've read the last few Hollow's book you will really enjoy this one too but don't expect any great shifts or revelations. But it does a great job to set up the next book and I can't wait.

Loved it!

I love not knowing where the story will end up because there are so many twists and surprises.
