New to the Hollows? This is your gateway. Longtime fan? Welcome home.
Sometimes, the end of one thing is just the beginning of a new chapter. Things don’t have to end. Characters don’t have to stop because, with some, there is so much more story to tell—case in point, American Demon, the first book in the extended Hallows universe.
I’m so happy they’re back.
Kim Harrison has brought back our favorite “itchy witch” as well as many of our other favorite characters. I am looking at you, Bis. Things are different, and people are moving on with their lives; some are moving into new phases. But Rachel is Rachel, and where there is mischief and catastrophe, you know, she will be right there righting the wrongs and sticking up for her friends. In this story, someone has sent an entity called a Bacu after Rachel and her friends. It is a creature that strips your aura level by level, eventually driving you mad. Who sent it and why they are doing these things is the big mystery. We have a few new characters to enjoy and learn about. One is an elf. The other is a demon; both seem like a lot of fun and should prove more important as new books and stories are written.
The action is fun, the banter is standard for The Hollows, and Trent and Rachel are lovely as ever together. I recommend lovers of The Hallows, or if you want to get into a new world to read, get into The Hallows. You won’t be disappointed.
