Book Description:

It's a tough life for witch Rachel Morgan, sexy, independent bounty hunter, prowling the darkest shadows of downtown Cincinnati for criminal creatures of the night.

She can handle the leather-clad vamps and even tangle with a cunning demon or two. But a serial killer who feeds on the experts in the most dangerous kind of black magic is definitely pressing the limits.

Confronting an ancient, implacable evil is more than just child's play - and this time, Rachel will be lucky to escape with her very soul.

Second book in the Hollows series. This book starts with Rachel being called in to help with a serial killer who has been killing witches with ley line abilities. Rachel suspects Trent Kalamack is behind the gruesome killings when his secretary Sara Jane comes into the FIB to report her boyfriend missing. Sara Jane showed kindness to Rachel when she was trapped as a mink in Trent's office so Rachel feels like she owes Sara Jane some help even if she doesn't know who Rachel is. Very interesting story threads throughout the book - more about Ivy's motives for rooming with Rachel, who is Trent Kalamack anyway, Rachel's past that involves Trent, what can finally make Nick afraid of messing with magic.. All make this a great page-turner. A couple of annoying things: the killer tomatoes and humans fear of them is beginning to annoy me. Also I find this one thing highly unbelieveable: 40 years of living with the supernatural and humans are THAT clueless about witches/vampires/weres/etc STILL? Everytime a human reacted in ignorance I would be irritated. I suspect this is a way for the author to explain more about supernatural culture to a reader, but I wish she found another way to do it than have her characters make really stupid mistakes and then explain why you don't do that to a vampire/witch/whatever.

Really enjoyable read; I like this series. Rachel is tough and Ivy is a great, dangerous character. And who doesn't love Jenks? Quick read and not full of icky romance.

I pretty much felt the same about this book that I did about the first! Rachel doesn't seem to be thinking anymore than she did during the first book and Ivy still is too far behind the scene. I still enjoyed the humor and this book began delving a little more into the romantic aspects of Rachel's life. Near the end a clearer picture is painted of what she seems to want!

I enjoyed this one; although, not as much as the first. I will continue the series!

Second book in the Rachel Morgan series. I would recommend this to anyone who likes paranormal or mystery stories. If you already read the Charlaine Harris-Sookie Stackhouse, Laurell K. Hamilton-Anita Blake or Janet Evanovich-Stephanie Plum series you will like this one.

I anxiously awaited the release of this book and wasn't disappointed. We meet new characters and learn more about Rachel and her friends.

Great book, most sets that have more then two books to it kind of get redundent well this set dose not. It just gets better and better.

This book throughs you in a little deeper to the Kim's world. DOn't think that this is a rip off series of Laurell K Hamilton by the blub. Kim has made up her own fun twisted universe and its charmingly dangerous.

I have to admit that at first I didn't think I would get into this series. That changed though, very quickly. I enjoyed the first, and this one was better. I love Jenks, Ivy and Trent. I hope we learn more about Trent, as he was one of my favorites. I am looking forward to reading the rest and see how things progress.

Book 2 in the Rachel Morgan series. More awesome characters and crazy situations. Extremely fun read.

When I read the first book in this series I wasn't sure I would keep reading but the last 1/3 of the book really got me hooked and I had to get the 2nd book to find out what happened. I'm sure glad I did. I love Rachel's character...she's strong willed but realizes she's not invincible. I will be interested to find out more about her relationships with Trent and also with Kistan. I'm liking both of those characters and she supposedly can't stand either one of them, but I bet that will change as the books go on.

We learn more about the vampires...living and undead. I'm still a bit confused on how it all works but I'm learning as I go. And what will happen with Big Al??? Hmmm.

After reading this book, I can't wait to get book #3.
