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.

Never heard of Trent, Jenks, Ivy, Rachel, Kisten, Al, Newt? Then you haven't read the preceding 11 books in the Hollows series. Please go back and read them. And do read them in the correct order, because each book builds on what happened in the books before. If you'd read this book without having read the others, it would be kind of hard to understand and you'd miss out much of the fun.
Rachel is doing security for Trent when Quen is away with the kids, and she more and more enjoys working with him. When she prevents a small accident, her charm terribly backfires out of the blue. But it is not only her charm that goes wrong. Something strange is happening in the Hollows. The most dangerous part is not even so much magic going wrong, that's only a small side effect. Rachel wouldn't be Rachel if she wasn't caught right in the middle of it and seemingly the only person able to figure things out and stop it. She finds herself overwhelmed by a kind of magic not yet experienced and a phenomenon the daemons outright dismiss as non-existing while the elves believe in it but go insane when dabbling in it.
Again, a book which is hard to put away before you're at the end. So much has happened since the whole series started out. And so much changed. Some things gradually evolving and happening in this twelfth book would seem unimaginable at the beginning. But there is also a slight feeling coming up that the series is slowly coming to an end. Rachel yet doing one more kind of magic which is not her own is starting to really stretch things.
