Black Magic Sanction

When it comes to the paranormal genre, most people either love it or hate it. I usually read certain authors within the genre: Patricia Briggs, Charlaine Harris (before the TV show), etc. One of the authors that I follow is Kim Harrison, as her books are smart, witty and fast moving. One of the reasons I like Kim Harrison, is that she is not afraid to take chances with her storylines. If it drives the story or series forward, she will give up a beloved character or introduce a controversial storyline to keep the plot moving, even at the risk of upsetting the reader.

Black Magic Sanction (March 2010) is the next book in the Rachel Morgan Hollows series. Ms. Morgan is a witch bounty hunter who is business partner with a pixie and living vampire. In this current installment (8th in series), Rachel who has been recently shunned in the witch community, must figure out a way to reverse their decision. This seems simple enough, however, throw in witches trying to murder her and other witches able to summon her as if she were a demon and the story kicks up to a whole new level.

If you have not read this series, I recommend them and urge you to start with Dead Witch Walking (all titles play off Clint Eastwood movie titles).
