Helpful Score: 2

This is the first book of the urban fantasy series, "The Hollows." The story takes place in modern time but with an alternate history where 50 years ago a deadly bio-engineered virus killed most of the world's population and evened-out the number between normal people and witches/ weres/ vamps/ pixies/ etc. In "Dead Witch Walking," the supernatural is commonplace.

A talented witch with good instincts and quick relfexes, Rachel Morgan quits her job with Inderland Security (a paranormal version of the FBI) to start her own bounty hunter business with her friends Ivy (a vampire) and Jenks (a pixie). But to buy back her freedom from the IS, Rachel will have to take down the local underground crimelord, that is, if she can also survive faerie assassins, a demon attack, and avoid being a vampire snack at the same time.

This book reminds me of the Stephanie Plum series mixed with the early Anita Blake series. A fun read with lots of supernatural action and a spunky character who gets in over her head. I wonder what kind of trouble Rachel gets into in the next book?
