What did I think of the trilogy? It was ok. I didn't have and serious issues with it, and of course, my desire to judge it on its own merits steers me away from most other considerations, IE., this was intended to be a YA novel, like the others. The original push of the novels was fairly interesting, but it could have been developed with less of a straight line. I don't mean that the characters needed to be different, per-se, only the revelations and perhaps the underlying plot.
I've seen some very twisted YA novels, so I know that simplicity isn't a genre requirement.
I've always been a big fan of Kim Harrison, but I have to admit that I'm only ok with these novels. I'm just not super enthusiastic. I'm still going to keep reading her books, of course, but I'll always be chomping on the bit for her adult oriented stories. Maybe not so much for the YA. Maybe it's just me. :) (

Guys! This book was pretty good. I actually enjoyed reading this one. Usually the last book in a series is my least favorite, but when it comes to this trilogy, it’s my favorite.

I can’t tell you why I enjoyed this one more. Surprise, surprise. Why do I write review? I can never tell you what I like or dislike. Anyway, the only thing that got me through the first two were the funny moments and there weren’t really any in this one. Out of the three books, this one is the most serious and the least funny. Maybe that was what I was in the mood for.

Overall, I’m glad I finally read this trilogy, but I probably will never re-read it. However, Kim Harrison is still one of my favorite authors and I will still re-read The Hollows series and give her new series, The Peri Reed Chronicles, a try. (

Okay. So the story of this trilogy is pretty good. BUT I saw some major continuity issues. In the first book there was a character named Lucy and a dog named Sandy, Nakita white wings and Barnabas had grey wings. In book two Nakita had black wings and Barnabas had white wings. And in the third book, the dog's name changed to Lucy! It seems like they went through this book with such a cursory editing eye that details slipped through... The details may seem small but if an author can't keep her OWN fictional facts straight, then how can I believe the story?

Like I said, the story is pretty okay. It has good moments and it has chaotic moments and it has moments that you can't stop reading. I'm glad I read it. But it's not something I'd read again. (
