Once, when I picked up a book from the local library, the librarian asked to tell her what I thought about the book when I would bring it back. Well, why not write a few lines about all the books I read so everybody could see what I thought about it? I'm often also happy to have friends recommend a certain book or tell me this and that is not really worth reading. I won't comment about the tons of books I have read so far, but about books I read from now on.

Rachel Morgan, a witch, Ivy Tamwood, a vampire and Jenks, a pixy. The three of them together form the private investigation agency "Vampiric Charms". Rachel has to run from a pack of werewolfs when trying to bring back a mascot fish which has been stolen from a baseball team. But then she is not paid for her services. Rent is due, though... But soon she is, more or less unvoluntarily, involved into something much bigger and skids into it deeper and deeper.
As already the first book in the series, Kim Harrison's writing is capturing, fast paced and full of humor. Lots of fun to read and sometimes really difficult to put away for the night. However, a few passages are quite grotesque. It really would not have been necessary to describe the state of the murdered witches in so much detail akin a bad Friday night horror movie. Bad enough to not not give it a top score.
Some of the things which happen in this book seem not to be really relevant to the ending of the story. But that's because this is a whole series and I'm certain one of the next books in the series will pick these things up and then they will be relevant. Also this second book in the Hollows series is full of references to what happened in the first book "Dead Witch walking" and some things might not make so much sense if you haven't read the first book. So if you are going to read some books of this series, do yourself a favour and read them in the correct order.
