Book Reviews of For a Few Demons More (The Hollows, Book 5)Book Review: can't. get. enough! Summary: 5 Stars
Plain and simple: I love this series. That's about all there is to it. I know I sound like a broken record, but I think you'd be hard pressed to find something more entertaining and imaginative, at least in this genre. Harrison is a fabulous writer who's created some of the most heartfelt and entertaining characters I've come across in a long time.
This novel feels like everything has finally come to a head: Rachael's dealing with demon magic, she being the keeper of the much sought after were focus, her indecision as to what to do with Ivy..There is alot going on in this book, which is usual for a Hollows novel, but it's always cohesive and engaging.
Weres are dying in the Hollows. Suicide or murder? They have one common link though, Rachael's alpha and friend David Hue. David also just happens to be the keeper of the were focus. Coincidence? Is it David who's killing his acquaintances or is something else going on that nobody knows about? These recent deaths bring the FIB into the fold as a result and when Rachael and her crew butt heads with Glenn and his crew, there's always going to be some good back and forth.
Demons abound in this novel. Rachael gets an early morning wake up call by one of the more mentally disturbed residents from the other side of the ley lines. What's the demon looking for? Also, Big Al is back, but this time he's even more dangerous than ever. You see, he can now walk under the sun on our side of the ever after. Rachael thought she had the Big Al problem under control, but now he's more dangerous than ever.
After a novel hiatus, Trent Kalamack is back in all his smug glory. Why? Well, he wants Rachael to work security at his wedding, and as a bridesmaid no less! Recipe for disaster? You bet.
All that and we have more progression in the Rachael/Ivy/Kisten relationship. I have to say that if there's any one thing that I find a little wearisome in these novels it's the Rachael/Ivy dynamic. It's been taking up a lot of the past few novels and hasn't been progressing all that much. In fact, sometimes it seems like the same ground retread a little bit too frequently. Things DO move forward, but it's a common theme that to me is just getting a little stale. Deal breaker? No. The novels are so fun and engrossing that it's hardly a deal breaker. However, there is a MAJOR event in this book to one of the three in the quasi love triangle which will definitely change the gang's lives for a while to come I suspect. Don't worry, no spoilers ;)
Just another in a great series, which became one of my favorites one or two books in. I'd recommend this even to those who aren't into the supernatural because they're just too much fun NOT to read!
