The ever after, the demonic realm that parallels the human world, is shrinking. If it disappears completely, so does all magic. It's up to witch-turned-daywalking-demon Rachel Morgan to avert catastrophe and keep life from changing... for the worse.
While saving the world is important, it isn't Rachel's only motivation. There's also the small fact that she caused the ley line to rip in the first place, setting off a chain reaction of unfortunate events. That little mistake has made her life forfeit unless she can fix it. It's also made her more than a few enemies, including the most powerful demon in the ever after—a
terrifying entity who eats souls and now has an insatiable appetite for her. He's already kidnapped her friend and goddaughter to lure her out, and if Rachel doesn't give herself up soon, they'll die.
But Rachel has more than a few impressive and frightening skills of her own, and she isn't going to hand over her soul and her life without one hell of a fight. She's also got a surprise: elven tycoon Trent Kalamack. With this unlikely ally beside her—a prospect both thrilling and unnerving—she's going to return to the ever after, kick some demon butt, rescue her loved ones... and prevent an apocalypse before it's too late. Or, at least that's the plan...
My Review:
If you´re used to the Hollows, you know that Rachel is almost always facing impossible missions, and this one is no exception.
Accused of being the one responsible for the Ever After shrinking and soon collapsing, Rachel is forced to take action.
Ivy is away, and Nick is helping Ku´Sox in his quest to squash Rachel. All the demons in the Ever After have turned their back on her. Al is having trouble standing up for her, and Ku´Sox tampers with her line so the Ever After drains even faster.
Ku´Sox is no stranger to twisting the thumbscrews. Everyone is affected: from Ceri and Trent, to her gargoyle, Bis.
You´ll get to see new sides to both Al and Newt, and the ending has something sweet for all us Trent & Rachel shippers. =)
This read is fast paced, action filled, and lovely! And now I know why I didn´t read it as soon as I got it, because it´s over too soon! *sobs* And now I´ve got to wait a year, again for the next book.
