DEAD WITCH WALKING By Kim Harrison Product Details ISBN-13: 9780060572969 Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Publication date: 4/27/2004 Series: Please login or register to view links, #1 In the vein of blockbuster supernatural thrillers like Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake sequence and Charlaine Harris's Southern Vampire saga comes Kim Harrison's debut novel, Dead Witch Walking, about a sexy witch and bounty hunter who will do anything to bring criminals to justice. Set in and around an alternate Cincinnati where Inderlanders (witches, vampires, werewolves, faeries, etc.) have officially been recognized, the novel begins with Harrison's leather-loving hero, Rachel Morgan, quitting her job as a runner (a kind of supernatural bounty hunter) for Inderland Security. The only problem is that no one walks away from Inderland Security -- and lives. Her boss, an ill-tempered ghoul named Denon, immediately puts out a contract on her, and within a matter of hours, her life is officially forfeit. She finds herself evicted from her apartment and almost assassinated on a city bus. Thank God for friends. With the help of Ivy Tamwood, a non-practicing vampire, and Jenks, a temperamental pixie, Rachel tries to begin a new life by starting an independent investigation service based in an old church in an area called the Hollows. But first she must survive the week! While Dead Witch Walking doesn't have the overt sexuality of an Please login or register to view links novel or the clever sense of humor of a Please login or register to view links tale, Kim Harrison's new saga -- powered by her intelligently crafted characters and tightly knit plotlines -- will undoubtedly find a place of its own in this burgeoning hybrid genre that blurs the lines between fantasy, mystery, horror, and romance.

Having recently quit her job as a runner (supernatural bounty hunter) for Inderland Security to form her own agency, Rachel is finding it hard to make ends meet. Living in an old church in the Hollows of Cincinnati with an ill-tempered vampire named Ivy Tamwood and a wisecracking pixie named Jenks, she is forced to take any job she can get -- like rescuing a baseball team's mascot! But after a series of gruesome murders involving witches, Rachel is hired by the Federal Inderland Bureau to help track down the killer.

DATES FROM HELL By Kim Harrison Product Details ISBN-13: 9780060854096 Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Publication date: 3/28/2006 Series: Please login or register to view links, #2.5 The cheapskate. The loud talker. The egomaniac. We've all had dates we'd rather forget, but nothing compares to those found in Dates from Hell, an explosive anthology featuring stories from four of the biggest names in supernatural fantasy: Kim Harrison, Lynsay Sands, Kelley Armstrong, and Lori Handeland. Harrison, the author of the bestselling Rachel Morgan saga (Dead Witch Walking; The Good, the Bad, and the Undead; et al.) offers up a new story from the Hollows, a prequel of sorts that focuses on Morgan's vampiric friend, Ivy Tamwood, before the two met. In "Undead in the Garden of Good and Evil," Tamwood -- working as a homicide detective for Inderland Security -- must deal with an oversexed and undead boss who will do anything to taste her blood. In Armstrong's "Chaotic" (which takes place within her Otherworld universe), undercover operative and half demon Hope Adams is experiencing true hell, stuck with a boorish blind date at a museum charity gala. But when she catches a thief, who happens to be a werewolf, red-handed, the evening's festivities become unforgettable -- for all the wrong reasons. Sexy, sharp-witted, and at times downright spooky, this quartet of novellas should appeal not only to the four authors' legions of dedicated fans but also to those who enjoy generous amounts of romance and eroticism mixed with their dark fantasy. Readers with a taste for genre-transcendent authors who blur the lines between fantasy, romance, and mystery -- like Laurell K. Hamilton, Charlaine Harris, and Madelyn Alt -- will find Dates from Hell absolutely heavenly. Paul Goat Allen
EVERY WHICH WAY BUT DEAD By Kim Harrison Product Details ISBN-13: 9780060572990 Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Publication date: 6/28/2005 Series: Please login or register to view links, #3 In Every Which Way but Dead, the third -- and steamiest -- Rachel Morgan novel (Dead Witch Walking and The Good, the Bad, and the Undead) by Kim Harrison, the soul of everyone's favorite leather-loving earth witch is put in serious jeopardy when she tangles with a highly irate demon. Rachel's life is coming apart at the seams. Her boyfriend, Nick, has left her. One of her two business partners, a pixie named Jenks, has suddenly quit. And to make matters significantly worse, a powerful demon nicknamed Big Al is back to collect on an old debt. As Rachel tries to keep herself from being bodily dragged into the hereafter, her newest job puts her in league with Trent Kalamack, a ruthless councilman and unscrupulous businessman who has, until very recently, been her main nemesis. But as Rachel struggles to stay alive, she finally uncovers the jaw-dropping truth behind her father's death and unravels Kalamack's mysterious -- and equally mind-boggling -- agenda. She also finds love in the unlikeliest of places…. Blending horror, fantasy, and romance to create a genre-transcending story with widespread appeal, Harrison's Rachel Morgan novels are analogous to Laurell K. Hamilton's bestselling Anita Blake sequence, as well as Charlaine Harris's Southern Vampire series and Christine Feehan's Dark novels. Featuring an endearing cast of central characters, nonstop action, and Harrison's wicked sense of humor, this saga is -- as the tongue-in-cheek titles imply -- pure, unadulterated fun.

TWO GHOSTS FOR SISTER RACHEL By Kim Harrison Product Details Publication date: 2007 Series: Please login or register to view links, #5.6 In this short story, Rachel is only 18 years old and still recovering from the effects of Rosewood syndrome. Her brother Robbie is trying to force her to leave for the West Coast with him to attend school, but Rachel has her heart set on joining the I.S. Robbie makes a deal with Rachel - if she can cook up a powerful spell to summon their father from the afterlife (which no novice or mediocre talent could do) then he will let her join the I.S. Rachel & Robbie attend the Solistace celebration where they tap into the collective power, and using a potion Rachel brewed including scrapings off of their father's watch, Rachel does succeed in summoning a spirit - but not her father, who has already moved on. Pierce the former coven appears instead, informing them that he has been in purgatory and that he needs to redeem himself in order to move on. They find out a young girl has gone missing, and Pierce remembers that before he died he had been trying to kill an undead pedophile vampire who was known for stealing young girls. Rachel helps Pierce track down where the undead is while Robbie goes to the I.S. for help, only to get locked up (the I.S. thinks it is a prank). Pierce discovers that he can channel ley line energy through Rachel, and they find Rachel's father's old ley line magic supplies then go to the vampire's home together to confront him. After an intense struggle the vampire has beaten Pierce and is about to kill Rachel when she throws a circle amulet at the vampire, trapping him inside just as the I.S. show up with her mother, Alice (who has been ranting at them and continues to berate them for some time afterwards for refusing to believe her children). This incident insures a place for Rachel in the I.S., which Robbie very reluctantly goes along with. Pierce disappears afterward, and is believed to be at peace until later in the Hollows series.
