 I dislike the new narrator!!! August 9, 2008
I enjoyed Kim Harrison books when they first came out. I was looking for more romance, but the story line was great so I bypassed that. I then fell in love with the books when I started to listen to them on my mp3 player. The old narrator, Marguerite Gavin, did such a great job of bringing Rachel to life. I felt more like I knew all of the characters completely and I was just a bystander in their life.
With this latest book, the narrator has changed. Her name is Gigi Birmingham. I HATE HOW SHE READS RACHEL!!!! The first 10-15 minutes into the audiobook I noticed that Gigi reads rachel like she is a 16 or 17 year old. It doesn't help that the first scene is rachel with her mother, that just increased "rachels" (gigi's) childlike behavior and manner of speaking. Also, Gigi makes Jenks voice really high pitch. It doesn't sound right. PLUS, SHE MISPRONOUNCES WORDS. Having listened to the first 5 books read by Marguerite Gavin, I may have become accustomed to the mispronouced words. Hearing Gigi pronouce them differently, DRIVES ME UP THE WALL. She can't even say the word adult right, she completely butchers Piscary's and Takata's names. I may just be used to the way that margeurite said them, but there should be some fluidity between the 6 books, and pronounciation should be fluid between them all. I am totally disheartened at how this new narrator just does not get Rachel and has totally portrayed her incorrectly. I will not purchase the next audiobook if Gigi reads it again. The narrator makes or breaks a book, Gigi mutilated this one. I think I am going to stop listening to the audio and read the book instead, maybe I will enjoy the book better.
 Outlaw Demon Wails Great July 31, 2008
Kim Harrison has done it again with a well developed story that keeps you turning pages for more. All the favorite characters are back with new twists and story developments. I can't wait for the next one!
Kim Harrison keeps on getting better and better! July 30, 2008
I love this genre! I resisted reading Kim Harrison's series, but finally gave in. Read all six books in a week. Ms. Harrison's writing gets better as the plot gets more and more twisted. Great character development and followup. A very addicting series. Can't wait until the next one comes out...
 Really Glad I bought this book July 22, 2008
After reading the last book I was debating on whether or not I was going to buy this one. I am pleased that I followed my gut and got it. I was completely thrown by the turn of events and the story line really held me. I wanted to skip to the end just to find out what was going to happen but, I was good and I read the whole thing :) Shocks and twists at every turn and shocking revelations that made you say "OMG No Way!) what more can a girl as for.
Although I know many people may disagree with me but, I think that Rachel and Ivy would be great together. Rachel loves her more than she realises and I think that she is scared about her feelings because, this is something new for her. Ivy will love her no matter what and she will always stand in her corner and let her make her own decisions even when she doesn't agree. Marshall is a nice guy but I doubt that he will ever accept the lifestyle that Rachel has or the the job that is constantly putting her in danger.
Yes! Wonderful! July 11, 2008

After the last few books in this series I was only really continuing to read because I like the characters so much. But with this addition to the Rachel Morgan series not only was I impressed, I was delighted at how good it was. so many unexpected twists and turns I never could guess what was happening next. By the end I was screaming "OMG ! When's the next one?!"
