PNR Review: A Perfect Blood (The Hollows, Book 10) [Hardcover]


I've finished "A Perfect Blood" the 10th book in her Hollows series by Kim Harrison.

Product Description

New York Times bestselling author Kim Harrison returns to the Hollows with the electrifying follow-up to her acclaimed Pale Demon!

Ritually murdered corpses are appearing across Cincinnati, terrifying amalgams of human and other. Pulled in to help investigate by the I.S. and the FIB, former witch turned day-walking demon Rachel Morgan soon realizes a horrifying truth: a human hate group is trying to create its own demons to destroy all Inderlanders, and to do so, it needs her blood.

She’s faced vampires, witches, werewolves, demons, and more, but humanity itself might be her toughest challenge yet.

My Review:

In this book Rachel has to fight a hate group called HAPA (Humans Against Paranormal Association) who are using deadly magic to extinguish the paranormal world.  They view Inderlanders as no more than animals to be cruelly experimented on and then thrown away.  We are also introduced to another special ops unit who we don't really know where their true intentions lie.

Rachel has grown up but she has lost her powers and is useless when she is thrown into dangerous situations.  Lucky she has friends in high places - Ivy, Jenks and especially Trent rescue her just in the nick of time.

When Rachel was reminiscing about Kisten it made me sad and made me think how much I miss him.   Rachel and Trent are trying to build a friendship based on trust and we see a softer and darker side to Trent.   Glad to see that demon AL is back and the way he charmed the two babies.  He brings laughs and keeps Rachel, Ivy and Jenks on their toes.
4/5
