Vampire and bounty hunter extraordinaire Rachel Morgan must play a dangerous game in which the the prize is her immortal soul in this riveting new tale in the bestselling Hollows series
To save the lives of her friends, Rachel Morgan, witch and runner, did the unthinkable: she willingly trafficked in forbidden demon magic. Now she's about to pay for that sin . . . .
But there was one person her wits and wiles couldn't save. Searching for the truth behind her love's murder, Rachel treads a dangerous path, filled with deadly menace and shocking suprises-- including a powerful demon determined to claim her and a family secret that throws her entire life into question. If she is ever to live free, she must walk willingly into the demonic ever-after in search of long-lost knowledge.
But when a woman dances with demons, she lays her soul on the line . . . and Rachel may never return.
Witch-turned-daywalking-demon Rachel Morgan needs to save the demonic realm of the Ever After in the eleventh entry in the New York Times bestselling Hollows series from supernatural adventure master Kim Harrison.
When Rachel sets off a chain of events that could lead to the end of the world--demonic and human--she must use her gifts to save those closest to her while preventing an apocalypse.
Satisfying and sexy, a visit to the Hollows will take readers on a wild journey that will capture their imagination. Fans of Charlaine Harris and Stephenie Meyer won't be able to resist Kim Harrison's alternative universe--urban fantasy Cincinnati complete with vampires, witches, and other enchanting creatures--where spine-tingling adventures and fast-paced action are the norm.
The author of the bestselling Dead Witch Walking makes her hardcover debut with this spellbinding new supernatural adventure featuring the highly original Rachel Morgan.
Things are going well for Rachel Morgan, witch, independent runner, and one-third of the runner service Vampiric Charms. She's got a business, friends, even a semi-regular--and always-sexy--boyfriend. So what if Kisten is a vampire? So's her roommate Ivy....
But an unexpected call for help sends her out of Cincinnati on a desperate trip to rescue the son of her business partner Jenks. It's fun at first, even with dealing with a human-sized Jenks (you cannot believe how much trouble a 6-foot pixy can cause, especially when he looks like a supermodel...), but the road trip quickly turns dangerous when confronting an old love becomes a fight for survival.
For seeing Nick Sparagmos again is the least of Rachel's problems--the ancient, mystical statue he has stolen holds the key to sinister, wild magic that can change humans into Weres. And for the first time in milennia, the Were packs are banding together to overthrow human and Inderlander alike. The fight that follows will shake Rachel's very soul...and she will never be the same.

In the Hollows, it's always witching hour.
The Hollows of Cincinnati is a playground for the creatures of the night, and vampires rule the darkness in a world rife with dangers beyond imagining. Rachel Morgan, bounty hunter and witch, helps keep that world civilized. And she's damn good at her job.
But the tables turn when Rachel makes a wish for independence and finds herself with a target on her back, a bounty on her head, and a shortage of allies to turn to. Reluctantly, she teams up with Ivy, another hunter who just happens to be a living vampire, and someone Rachel isn't sure she can trust.
Rachel is desperate to find a way clear her name, one way or another. But it's a tricky--and dangerous--task in the Hollows, where nothing is ever as it seems.
In Every Which Way But Dead, witch and former bounty hunter Rachel Morgan's managed to escape her corrupt company, survive living with a vampire, start her own runner service, and face down a vampire master.
But her vampire roommate Ivy is off the wagon, her human boyfriend Nick is out of town indefinitely and doesn't sound like he's coming back while the far-too-seductive vampire Kisten is looking way too tempting, and there's a turf war erupting in Cincinnati's underworld.
And there's a greater evil still. To put the vampire master behind bars and save her family, Rachel made a desperate bargain and now there's hell to pay--literally. For if Rachel cannot stop him, the archdemon Algaliarept will pull her into the sorcerous ever-after to forfeit her soul as his slave. Forever.
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

It's Rachel Morgan's ultimate adventure . . . and anything can happen in this next book in the New York Times bestselling Hollows series.
Rachel Morgan has come a long way from her early days as an inexperienced bounty hunter. She's faced vampires and werewolves, banshees, witches, and soul-eating demons. She's crossed worlds, channeled gods, and accepted her place as a day-walking demon. She's lost friends and lovers and family, and an old enemy has unexpectedly become something much more.
But power demands responsibility, and world-changers must always pay a price. Rachel has known that this day would come--and now it is here.
