Though she’s no Matalina, her character gets better with every book.Another character that I’m surprised to notice growing on me more and more: Newt.

There was also some good development for pixy/fairy relations, and I came to realize how much I like Belle. It is great seeing Rachel’s response towards him and his previous misdeeds slowly evolving. I loved the over-arching story in Ever After because, whereas Rachel is usually only in trouble with the non-demon world, this time she was in hot water from both sides, which really raised the stakes this time around.As for the characters, though Ivy was absent for most of the book, Trent’s welcome presence helped make up for it. However, that’s nothing new for a Kim Harrison book fast-moving plots are something she excels at working through. In an effort to keep this review spoiler-free, I’ll keep this as vague as possible.Ever After certainly had a lot going on – which was great pacing-wise, as you don’t want to put the book down. In all, it’s a strong return for some of the Hollows characters, while others are sorely missed. One world teeters on the brink of interspecies war, the other on the brink of its very demise-and it's up to Rachel to keep them both from being destroyed. If Rachel doesn't give herself up, they will die.įorced by circumstance, Rachel teams up with elven tycoon Trent Kalamack-a partnership fraught with dangers of the heart as well as betrayal of the soul-to return to the ever-after and rescue those she loves.

Not to mention the most powerful demon in the ever-after-the soul-eater Ku'Sox Sha-Ku'ru-has vowed to destroy her, and has kidnapped her friend and her goddaughter as leverage. Of course, there's also the small fact that Rachel is the one who caused the ley line to rip in the first place, and her life is forfeit unless she can fix it. It's up to witch-turned-daywalking-demon Rachel Morgan to fix the ever-after before the fragile balance between magic users and humans falls apart.

The ever-after, the demonic realm that parallels our own, is shrinking, and if it disappears, so does all magic. New York Times bestselling author Kim Harrison returns to the Hollows with the electrifying follow-up to her acclaimed Pale Demon!
