Another excellent Hollows book. This one had me making guesses from the start. Ultimately, my hunch wasn't correct but I certainly was not disappointed by the outcome. This has a wonderful cliffhanger too.

"Demons of Good and Evil"
by Kim Harrison
Book 17 of The Hollows
I always enjoy Harrison's books. I love the action and get a chuckle from the antics that occur with Jenks, Biz, and Al. I love getting to know the little girls as they grow too. Trent and Morgan's relationship continues to grow. Once again the gang is under attack and they have to come together to save the day. David and his pack joined in a bit more in this installment which was fun. Constance is still involved and I can't wait to see what happens next. We were left with quite a cliff hanger this time. Always a pleasure!

Every time I finish a Hollows installment, I crave MORE. Like, how does this keep getting better??

This time around, an old enemy makes a reappearance. We get some time with each of her friends and found family. And the tears I shed at the ending…

My only criticism is quite a bit of repetition. I did read an ARC, so perhaps more editing will tidy that up.
The plot twists in the book were obvious, and I found myself yelling at my book “come oooon Rachel, open your eyes!” Perhaps the big reveals to Rachel were supposed to be apparent to the reader from the beginning. I don’t read the series for thriller plot twists, so it didn’t ruin any enjoyment for me.

The resolution was *chef’s kiss.* What beautiful, satisfying karma. Rachel’s character growth is everything I want from a series. Her self-acceptance, loyalty, trust in her friends, and continued increase in mindfulness is healing. I’m so grateful that Kim Harrison continued writing Rachel’s story and is NAILING IT.

Thank you NetGalley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I love the Hollow series. And this is another great story by Kim Harrison. And of course, it leaves me wanting more.

So if you enjoy Rachel and her mess of friends, then you will enjoy this one. As normal there is always some trouble that Rachel always gets into it.

Rachel is still occasionally a hot mess, but reading along as she matures, becoming more confident in herself, her powers, and her friendships, makes this book a fun and fitting continuation of this series. I can't wait to read the next one!

There is little I enjoy more than returning to the Hollows to revisit Rachel and her team and the #17th books in the series was no exception.
"Demons" drops right into the action as Rachel is working with Al in the park on jumping lines, when they notice weres gathering nearby. Unusual activity, especially as David is nowhere nearby. Led by "The Mage" a disguised magic user manipulating the alpha weres desire to steal the focus from David, The Mage is determined to cause trouble for Rachel and Trent, and chaos for her city.
Rachel is getting better at talking to those around her, and allowing her people to help her, but she still gets in her own way sometimes, with disastrous results. To be fair, she is being pulled in so many directions it's hardly her fault though!
And the reveal of a potential new spell at the end! Oh! Cannot wait for book 18!

Thank you NetGalley for the an eARC in exchange for an honest review.
