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.

If you don't feel right at home reading the next few lines and recognize the characters, then you haven't read the previous books in the Hollows series. This is the 13th book in this series and without having read the others (in correct order), it would be close to impossible to understand what's going on in this book.
A seemingly small job goes terribly wrong at a totally unexpected moment and one of our three heroes, Rachel, Jenks, Ivy, is badly hurt. There is more to this job than initially apparent: someone insists an old dept be paid. A dept which seems impossible to pay. Even though Rachel insists what she's being asked to do is impossible without sending people into suicide, she agrees to demonstrate it and prove her point. However, the required curse is out of her realm and of all the people it is Landon who might be able to help. But to trust Landon? The cunning elf who would enjoy nothing more than to see Rachel dead? Indeed, Landon can help her with the curse, but he has got his own agenda, too. A double deadly agenda, a world-shattering agenda. If he can succeed, it will not only be Rachel to perish but some whole other species too. And it is way above even Rache's limit to stop Landon. If he's to be stopped, many others have to let go of their pride and thousands-year-old hatred for their enemies...
With this book, Kim Harrison brings the Hollows series to an end. Rachel, the main character of this series, has come a long way in these thirteen books; from being a runner for the I.S. to having her own runner business together with Jenks and Ivy, to become a were alpha, to discover she's the only day-walking daemon, and even dabbling in elven magic. And none of the books ever got boring.
