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.

Book number 10 in the Hollows series. If you haven't read the preceding books, then go and read them first; the story in this book assumes you know what has happened before. If you haven't read the previous books in the series, then you'll often not know why people behave like this, who it is they are talking about etc. Don't worry, the whole series, including this book, is very enthralling (or maybe I should rather say bewitching :-), so you'll fly through the books in no time.
Rachel has finally acknowledged that she's not a normal witch. And she willingly and physically limited the magic she can do, strictly sticking to earth magic, stirring charms in her pots. This works well until she gets involved in a hunt done by the IS. It's "only" humans they are after, but these humans are not the usual, rather harmless kind. Rachel is even less sure about the usual categorization of black, gray and white: daemon, inderlander and human. Humans obviously can be just as bad as daemons, and similarly dangerous.
Harrison includes an additional chapter at the end of the book. It is a copy of chapter nineteen, but written in the voice of Trent. As Harrison mentions, she wondered what it would be like to tell the story in a third person view, instead of the first person view of Rachel. I think the first person approach she has settled for the series does work better (of after 10 books I'm just much more used to it?).
