Product Description
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.

 I love this series!!! June 27, 2010

Love it!!!!!! Not quite finished yet, but just had to write a review. I can't believe it's Book 8 and I'm still into this series. The author has done a great job keeping readers engaged. If you haven't gotten into the series yet, go for it starting from Dead Witch Walking. You'll fall in love with the characters in these stories. Best part, there is never a dull moment!
Fantastic Book... June 26, 2010

I've been addicted to this series from the start and I think that this was probably the best book so far. As others have said, though, if you haven't read the rest of the series, this book isn't for you. It's for fans of the series.
First thing first.. This book is nonstop action, from the very beginning, until the end. I've read a review or two that said that this book lacked a real plot, but I don't agree. This book is about people's reactions to Rachel's use of black magic and of the knowledge that she's more than a witch. Most of the time, the people trying to kill her seem like complete tools but they cause more than enough trouble in Rachel's life. Not just in their attempts to kill her (and the people that she loves) but by simply shunning her.
Rachel's acceptance of who and what she is also plays a large part in the story.. Though she may not like that she's different, she has come to accept that she'll never be like other witch's to a much larger degree than she had before and she's also begun to realize that black magic, despite what others may think, may not always be bad. In addition she's also started to accept her place in the ever-after as well as the world that she grew up in. Rachel grew a lot in this book.
***Spoiler***
Someone mentioned in another review that not enough time seemed dedicated to the death of Jenks' wife and his mourning for her.. But I think that it was. Given that this book, the entire series really, centers around Rachel's life, I think that it was done very well. Even after the chapter surrounding her death and trying to keep Jenks from dying as a result, it's mentioned many, many times that he's still depressed. Rachel observes changes in his personality, the way that he holds himself and even the color of his wings/dust, which are a result of his wife's death. He is busy and I think that being kept on his toes has a lot to do with him not breaking down again or holing himself off. Everyone deals with death differently and as we should all know by now, the lives of pixies are very different from the lives of others, which has a large effect on how they deal with emotions.
For the love of TINK, this is good!! June 11, 2010

This is the 8th book in this series and it DOES NOT DISAPPOINT! Kim Harrison is a master of her universe as she proves time and time again. I know I don't need to review this book as so many have done so already, but I loved it so much I just have to put it out there.
The plot developments were as clever as they have ever been here. The relationships between our steadfast friends as solid... and complicated. I LOVED getting a little bit more of a teasing look at the relationship that Rachel and Trent had as children. New romance blossoms and old rivalries continue to grow in anger and angst.
I have to admit, I'm as confused as Rachel is about how to feel about Trent, but gosh darned it, he is still my favorite man! Good ol' demon Al continues to grow as a character, which is always fun to watch. And... not to give too much away, but, if Rachel ever wanted help to hold Nick's head underwater, well, I'm THERE!
I tried to hold out on reading this until I was closer to when the next book might get released, but this is one of those series that you just can't hope to stay away from! Seriously, I hope this series never ends. Ever.
