red_reaperI spent yesterday at my mom's friend's house while mom and her friend scrapbooked. Now I got a lot of reading and writing done, but there was also a small child who kept interrupting me. I think I have a small child beacon that draws them to me when all I want is to be left alone. She kept trying to get me to scrapbook (which I don't do because I suck at it) and she would sit next to me and read. But she had to read out loud and then show me stuff. And it didn't work to pretend I was engrossed in my book because she would just repeat it over and over until I paid attention. I was so glad when the girl's mom finally came to take her home.
But I did get to finish one book: The Good, The Bad and the Undead by Kim Harrison. This is the second book in Kim Harrison's Hollows series. And I have to say, I'm really enjoying the series so far. I think I'll ask for the set for Christmas. This book was about Rachel Morgan, former I.S. runner, tracking down a serial killer who was hunting ley line witches. For this case, she's teamed up with the FIB, who've hired her as a consultant, and she's working with this guy Glenn who is one of the few humans not intimidated by the fact that Rachel's a witch. It's a really good book. Review is under the cut and beware the spoilers.
I ended up loving this book. It gets at least a 4.5 from me. I liked seeing Rachel have further interaction with Algaliarept and I wonder how the whole voluntary familiar thing is going to work out. I do have to admire Algaliarept for his sneakiness and cunning. He's really good at it. I think Glenn is going to be an interesting character. I love that he stole their ketchup and then Rachel's like "I'm pimping ketchup to the son of the head of the FIB". Trent is also a super interesting character. I feel the way about him that I do about Marcone in the Dresden Files series. You want to dislike him and you know that he should be scum in your eyes, but you still have respect for him and even sort of like him. I love that Rachel told Trent she knew what he was with Keebler elf cookies. It'll be interesting to see what happens with Ivy now. Oh and Kisten is also intriguing and fun. Now I really want the next one, but it'll have to wait until after I move up to Bellingham and get a library card there.
Take care
