Harrison's Hollows series is still one of my absolute favorite series, and White Witch, Black Curse proved to me once again why this series is so amazing. Rachel is still trying to figure out who is responsible for Kisten's death as well as still trying to deal with the emotional fallout of losing the man she loves. Rachel then finds herself drawn into a dangerous case that threatens not just her life but those she cares about. Harrison delivers a lot of twists and turns as Rachel tries to keep all aspects of her life moving smoothly: professionally, family-wise, and personally. However things seem to continue to go wrong for Rachel. Ivy, Jenks, Trent, and even Al continue to add to the story, and it was refreshing seeing an old friend pop up again. Overall this was an amazing read that I would definitely recommend. ( )

Steadily improving. Some lingering storylines are wrapped up nicely. There are one or two still to be resolved, and I actually got teary at one point (poor Jencks!), but this time I'm actually eagerly anticipating the next installment rather than planning on reading it mostly because I've read the rest of the series.

every long-running series has a filler book now and then, and this is one of them. our heroine has a lot of loose ends to tie up (what happened to Kisten? how is she going to deal with this whole demon-student bit?), and this 7th installment in a very good series spends more time tying than creating new threads. newcomers shouldn't start here, you definitely won't get what the well-deserved positive buzz is about.

Another messy, rambling adventure, but the momentum is holding, more or less. There's some good stuff - Rynn Cormel is a great vampire lead, much better than the unnuanced, kind of disgusting Piscary, and Ford the empathic therapist is a fun minor character. There's a lot of neutral-to-blah stuff - yet another magical species whom Rachel's adventures have inadvertently altered, Tom the least interesting reoccuring villain ever, Pierce the utterly implausible, and the anticlimactic and poorly-foreshadowed resolution to the interminably mystery of who killed Kisten. This would be a much better book in a much better series if Harrison wrote more outlines. ( )

Epigraph
Dedication
To the guy who finishes my sentences and gets my jokes. Even the lame ones.
First words
The bloody handprint was gone, wiped from Kisten's window but not from my memory, and it ticked me off that someone had cleaned it, as if they were trying to steal what little recollection I retained about the night he'd died.

Book description
From Booklist
Hell hath no fury like witch and bounty hunter Rachel Morgan when it comes to avenging her lover’s murder. Her quest for justice holds some significant realizations for her, too, such as the strength in her bond with vamp partner Ivy, who helps her withstand the waves of power coursing through her body in one of the book’s most emotionally gripping scenes. Through a welter of vampires, demons, pixies, and witches, Harrison conducts readers on a suspenseful, satisfying journey of payback, personal growth, and empowerment while setting the scene for Rachel’s new romance, which will probably commence in the next of this spellbinding series. --Whitney Scott
-------------------------------------

Kick-ass bounty hunter and withc Rachel Morgan has crossed forbidden lines, taken demonic hits, and still stands. But the death of her lover struck her harder than she ever thought possible. She won't rest until his murder is solved...and avenged.

But a new predator is moving to the apex of the Inderlander food chain - and now Rachel's past is coming back to haunt her.

Literally.
