With just three days to travel over 2,300 miles in a vehicle that contains a half demon witch, a grieving fairy, an arrogant elf and lusty vampire, Harrison takes advantage of the tension and general mayhem these characters attract, and cause. Not only does Rachel have to deflect attacks by the coven, stay out of Newt’s and Al’s clutches and protect Trent from a gang ofĮlven asassins, she has to confront her own demons when she is the only one who can stop an ancient evil, Ku’Sox, the devourer of souls. Banned from flying, Rachel, Ivy and Jinx have to drive cross country to the hearing, but the road trip becomes complicated when Trent joins the three on an elf quest of his own. Rachel has a choice, Alcatraz or the Ever-after with Al, unless she can prove to the Witchs’ Council that the world is not black and white. I’ve had to sit on my excitement for almost six weeks and now, with just a week or so to go until its release I can finally share. Oh Kim Harrison how I love thee (though not in an icky way), I adore the Hollows series and getting my eyes on an ARC of Pale Demon caused squeals of delight (thank you NetGalley) more suited to a teacup pig. While the powerful witch with nerves of steel will do whatever it takes to stay alive, even embracing her own demonic nature may not be enough to save her. A fearsome demon walks the sunlight, freed after centuries of torment to slay the innocent and devour souls. Can a witch, an elf, a living vampire, and a pixy in one car survive for over 2,300 miles? And that’s not counting the assassin on their tail. But Rachel isn’t the only passanger along for the ride. Banned from the flight lists, Rachel teams up with elven tycoon Trent Kalamack, headed for the West Coast for his own mysterious business. If she fails, the only way she can escape death is to live in the demonic ever after. Sypnosis: Condemned to death for black magic and shunned, Rachel Morgan has three days to somehow get to the annual witches convention in San Francisco and clear her name.
