Kim Harrison

I have fallen in love with Kim Harrison's hollows series. This series is about a supernatural bounty hunter named Rachel Morgan. She is constantly having to fight off demons and escape attacks on her life. But she is not alone, she has her two partners Ivy and Jenks. It is this trio of crime fighters that see's us through the entire series.

What I think makes this series special is that it never gets boring. As the books go on they give a glimpse of a bigger world each time. There are so many layers that keep getting added. To start off with you have Rachel who is a witch, Ivy who is  a living vampire and Jenks who is a pixie. Then as the stories progress you get introduced to werewolf's, banshees, demons, ghost and so much more.

I also enjoy that this isn't some far off imaginary place. It is set in Cincinnati, OH in present time. However there was an incident with a genetically engineered tomato that wiped out half of the human population allowing there numbers to even with those of the supernatural beings. This caused the supernatural beings to come out of hiding and live their lives with out fear of persecution. Having the story be set in present time has made it easier for me to immerse myself in the story. I fly through these books so fast, they are amazing. I love losing myself in Rachel's world for a few hours. I highly suggest you read them for yourself.
