Work detailsThe Outlaw Demon Wails by Kim Harrison
None. Amazon received Unlike another genre author I won't mention, Kim Harrison's books keep getting better. Kudos to her for never being a lazy writer! This series is steadily improving. Less "oh, woe is me!" and more "it's about time I grew up and stopped being an idiot". The main character finally starts taking some responsibility for her actions. Not completely, but getting there. 6 books in, and we've probably just gotten the best entry in this series. KH ties up many of the dangling threads from previous entries...and almost none of them in the obvious or expected way. in fact, it's solid enough that you would feel almost ok with the series ending on this book. while still being all about the character interactions, this one is non-stop action: when i went to bed at 3am the first night i spent with this book, it was only because of a chapter break, not because a good stopping point had appeared. the whole series is highly recommended. no reviews | add a review Is contained in

However, I can't STAND this narrator! She is, in a word, horrible. Whomever made the decision to have her do this book should be fired immediately, and the book should be redone by Marguerite. I will buy it in audio in that case. However, with this narrator, I am forced to fall back on my Nook and just read it. A shame. This is SUCH a good series, and a bad reader can turn buyers against a series just on the fact that some people should never, ever be narrators. (
