Synopsis

To save the lives of her friends, Rachel did the unthinkable: she willingly trafficked in forbidden demon magic. And now her sins are coming home to haunt her. As Rachel searches for the truth behind a terrifying murder, an even greater menace threatens, for the demon Algaliarept will stop at nothing to claim her, and the discovery of a shocking family secret throws Rachel's entire life into question. If she is ever to live free, Rachel must first walk willingly into the demonic ever-after in search of long-lost ancient knowledge. But when you dance with demons, you lay your soul on the line . . . and there are some lines that should never be crossed.

Author Bio

American born author, Kim Harrison, has tried different genres, but has settled into graphic and traditional fantasy novels. Her given name is Dawn Cook, and she did publish traditional fantasy under that name. Her #1 New York Times best-selling Hollow series is Harrison's most famous and most lucrative work. Her urban fantasy is best known, but she has also written young adult, accelerated science fiction thriller, anthology, full-color world book, and two graphic novels set in the Hollows universe.

Under her pen name of Dawn Cook, Harrison wrote Decoy Princess and Truth series. The main character, Rachel Morgan, is in an urban fantasy genre where there is a worldwide pandemic caused by genetically modified tomatoes. The pandemic causes the death of much of the world's population. This novel was published in the early years of the 21st century. Harrison's newest novel is American Demon.

Harrison was born and raised in the Midwest. She considers herself a "tomboy", having been the only girl in a family of boys. She has another unusual attribute for an author......she avoided all English classes, except those required in high school. Pretty unorthodox for a very successful author. She now resides in her home state of Michigan.

I love reading this type of book but it seems that every author in this area must not be able to finish anything! There is nothing new here, Ivy and Rachel still are uncomfortable with each other. They try to do the give blood without sex thing again and unusual thing happens and is never talked about again except in the normal, uncomfortable way. What was it, why did it happen, what does it mean to them--you never find out. You do get to meet Rachels mom, and the thing you find out about her family tree is a surprise but you never get the full story there eihter. You are left with more questions and frustrated that here is another problem that you don't understand and does not get resolved. Rachel is still in the never ending fight with Al,Minnis and the rest of the demons and it ends up with her being more tied to them than she ever was therefore dragging it out even longer with no resolutin in sight. Also Rachel and Ivy are trying to figure out who killed Kisten but is only about a page in total and it is not resolved either. Kim writes good stories but don't read this expecting to get your answers to any questions because you be left in total frustation!
