Rachel Morgan, witch-born demon, suspected that protecting the paranormal citizens of Cincinnati as the demon subrosa would be trouble. But it’s rapidly becoming way more trouble than even she could have imagined.

While Rachel and her friends may have vanquished the trickster demon Hodin, his mysterious associate known only as “The Mage” is eager to finish what Hodin started, beginning with taking down Rachel’s power structure piece by piece.

With her world falling apart, Rachel desperately needs help. But with all of her supporters under attack, her only hope is to make a deal with the unlikeliest of allies. . . .

With book 17 of the Hollows series, Demons of Good and Evil, Kim Harrison continues her story with a mesmerizing plot that will keep readers engaged and riveted by the plot. As usual Rachel Morgan is a believable and fun character, constantly trying to protect her town and the citizens of Cincinnati with the help of her allies. 

One of the elements I liked the best was the twists and turns in the plot, especially how matters end up resolved at the conclusion. Not only does Rachel make a deal with an unlikely ally but the characters surprise you and the ending itself is an interesting twist in the world. I found the ending fantastic and the story solid. Even if you don’t remember all the details of the previous 16 novels, you will find this a fun and engaging read. It is a mesmerizing plot.
