vampires, vampires
Mar. 21st, 2007 12:32 amBlood Ties has gotten me into a vampiric mood, especially given that I've been rereading all the Tanya Huff novels I can find (I thought I owned the whole series, but some of them are apparently in storage), and so when I remembered today was the day Kim Harrison's new novel For a Few Demons More was being released, I decided to go pick it up.
I didn't realize it was being released in hardcover, but it was SO worth the money. This is hands down the best book of the series, though you pretty much have to have read the other 4 to appreciate the reappearance of every major villain Rachel Morgan has faced so far, some forming temporary alliances with her and some just wanting to take her down. Very tightly plotted, lots of twists and turns, and by far the most femslashy of the whole series, which made me very very happy.
For those of you unfamiliar with the series, it's another one of those urban fantasy-type things with a witch who's a kind of supernatural detective and she's got lots of hot-looking vampires and werewolves etc. falling for her left and right. What makes this particular series worth reading, for me, is the really, really hot UST Rachel has with her best friend and housemate, Ivy, who happens to be a vampire. The tension between them keeps ramping up and up in every novel, and if they don't end up sleeping together by the end of the series I'll...be very disappointed. But so far, them *not* having sex with each other is hotter than most published lesbian erotica I've read. The scenes with Rachel's vampire boyfriend aren't bad, either, for being non-explicit. ( Major major Spoilers for the plot )
The previous books in the series are Dead Witch Walking, The Good the Bad and the Undead, Every Which Way But Dead, and A Fistful of Charms.
