The Good, the Bad and the Undead
by Kim Harrison
(The Hollows # 2)
Rachel Morgan can’t catch a break. Even as she is happily dating a
human, Nick and things seem to be going fairly well with her new
roomies, Jenks and Ivy. Rachel gets sucked into a witch murderer case.
Several witches have been found dead and Rachel has this gut feeling
that Trent Kalamack is behind this. After all, it wouldn’t be the first
time Trent had tried something mischievous and manipulative to get what
he wants.
As Rachel gets to work with Detective Glen, readers come to
see a much more passionate side to Rachel. Flipping through the
evidence files, the blood and gore is too much for even a witch like
her. I loved this part because it not only showed readers a
compassionate side to Rachel, but also displayed nicely that she isn’t
above all this. I enjoyed seeing her determination and her eager need to
take Trent down. It isn’t simply to take revenge on what he did to her
in the last book.
Kim Harrison weaves an intricate plot in THE GOOD,
THE BAD, AND THE UNDEAD. Though Trent infuriates me sometimes, there’s
also something very magnetic about him. Readers can’t help but wanting
to know more about him. Who he really is is still up in the air and I
love the way that Harrison plays this out.
Each book in the series
reveals just enough to keep readers entertained without giving too much
away. Nick still makes me nervous. I like him, but there’s something
about him that causes me to question everything he says. I’m eager to
find out what happens with the human.
The Hollows has become a world that I have been wholly invested in. I can’t wait to find out what happens next!
