In New York Times bestselling author Kim Harrison's most complex and nuanced adventure yet, bounty hunter and witch Rachel Morgan fights a deadly battle - mind, body, and soul.
Black Magic Sanction
Rachel Morgan has fought and hunted vampires, werewolves, banshees, demons, and other supernatural dangers as both witch and bounty hunter - and lived to tell the tale. But she's never faced off against her own kind...until now. Denounced and shunned for dealing with demons and black magic, her best hope is life imprisonment - at worst, a forced lobotomy and genetic slavery. Only her enemies are strong enough to help her win her freedom, but trust comes hard when it hinges on the unscrupulous tycoon Trent Kalamack, the demon Algaliarept, and an ex-boyfriend turned thief.
It takes a witch to catch a witch, but survival bears a heavy price.
This week I finished the eighth book in the Hollows series and I think Black Magic Sanction might tie with Fistful of Charms as my favorite book in the series. My only only after the audiobook finished playing was WOW.
Black Magic Sanction has it all: drama, action, tragedy, comedy, romance, and a high stakes caper. In Black Magic Sanction Rachel has been shunned and the Council of Witches is after her to put her in jail and will take all the strength and cunning Rachel has to keep herself out of prison and remove the shunning.
I listen to audiobooks mostly at work and I think I freaked my coworkers out because this book had me on an emotional rollercoaster. One minute I was smiling because something was funny and the next I had to excuse myself to the restroom to dry my eyes because I was crying. I love a good book that can make me cry one moment and have me laughing the next.
I love how in this book there was some more back story on Al and Pirece. I find their chararters intriging but as I have said before I am still holding out for a Trey and Rachel match. I do like how their releationship is maturing into mutal respect and maybe friendship. Being a sucker for a good western I loved the ending of this book.
That is all I am going to say about Black Magic Sanciton except that is a supernova and out of this world installment in an excelent series and I give it five laser pistols. As far as the narration it was stellar as always. I can not stress this enough but read Kim Harrison's Hollows series because you won't be disappointed.
