I have to say that this book wasn't what I expected....at all. Which in many cases could be a bad thing, but with regards to "Dead Witch Walking" it is a good thing. This book is the first in Rachel Morgan … more

Is it possible for a book about vampires to avoid the monstrous nature of Stephen King's creatures, the self-absorbed boredom of Anne Rice's Lestat, the innate pessimism of Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita … more
I can't remember the last time I had this much fun reading a book. Every page drips with action, humor and mix of creatures that are good, bad, some in between and also those walking on both sides of … more
