The Outlaw Demon Wails (The Hollows, Book 6)

Back cover summary

In the Hollows, where the natural and the supernatural co-exist--not always peacefully--desperate times often call for unorthodox measures.  But bounty hunter-witch Rachel Morgan did the absolutely unthinkable to save the lives of her friends:  She willingly trafficked in forbidden demon magic.  And now her sins have come home to haunt her.

As Rachel hunts for the truth behind a terrifying murder, the discovery of a shocking family secret is about to throw her entire life to question.  And the long-lost ancient knowledge she seeks resides in the demonic ever-after.

But there are some lines that should never be crossed--like the one Rachel Morgan's stepping over...again!

Review (warning spoilers)
  
The outlaw demon wails picked up after the death of Kisten in a A few demons more. I think this is the best book in the Hollows series so far.  The characters that I love so much in this series are all at their best and there were even a few who became quite a revelation in this installment.

As you may have guessed, the outlaw demon is Al and he is giving everything he's got to get Rachel. In the background, there are the elves (Ceri, Trent, and Quen), the truth behind Rachel's parentage, and  the quest for Kisten's killer to complicate matters.  In this book also, we finally see the ever after and some progress in the relationship of Rachel and Trent.

I loved Al in this book!  It's impossible to know what he will say or do. He is such a complex and unpredictable character but at the same time he manages to be charming and funny.  A very good demon by definition.  I can't wait to see how his character develops in the next books considering his relationship with Rachel also evolved big time in  The outlaw demon wails.

Rating: *****
