Hi fellow denizens,

Demon's Bluff by Kim Harrison
hardcover, 451 pages, $30, Ace. New York
Thankfully I got it at the San Francisco
Public Library Main in the New SF area.
This is set in the Hollows as are
most of the tales in the endless (we hope)
saga of Rachel Morgan. The world of the
Hollows is much like our own but Rachel
resides in Cincinati with a host of Vampires
both living and undead, some Weres, and
troublesome Elves, and Demons who come
in from the Ever-After which in a previous
volume Rachel with some help recreated
with power from ley lines. She started as
a witch but studied and spelled hard and
learned to twist curses. In this story she
travels back in time, but not alone but
with an enemy.
To retrieve a artifact she must solve a
riddle from the maddest of demons.

May be the culmination of the series.

I enjoyed it very much despite my
diminished capacity for such. Gotta
work on eye evaluation appointment.

I have not read this one, so I cannot comment specifically, but at some
point in the series I just got so frustrated with Rachel's issues that I
gave up. Maybe she works past that, but I found she was just not fun to spend time with anymore.

Rachel Morgans issues make good stories for Kim Harrison and for
people who recognize their own issues.
Her's are so much worse than our issues.

I have the last 2 or 3 Rachel Morgan MMPB books in my SBR. I kinda
burned out on them for now.
