The Outlaw Demon Wails Kim Harrison 9780060788704 Books

This isn't a review for the book, but for the audible recording. This is the only one of the series by this narrator, and compared to the other books it falls far short. It's all pet peeves - she doesn't pronounce names and words the same. Lay lines become lei lines and takata is tah-kah-tah with all sharp sounds. They also play this ominous music when there's a potential plot twist which is just annoying. Thankfully, the original narrator is back with the next book. For the books themselves - Kim Harrison does an outstanding job with the Hollows series, all in all its very enjoyable.

The Outlaw Demon Wails Kim Harrison 9780060788704 Books Reviews

In this book Al has escaped the Ever After because someone is summoning him out. Al is out of blood, Rachel's blood that is, and he is torturing her loved ones just to piss Rachel off. Rachel must team up with Trey to save herself and the ones she cares about and travel into the Ever After. Meanwhile Rachel discovers a shocking secret about her parentage that will have her questioning who she is. Also, Ceri has some shocking news herself and Quin will put himself in mortal peril to help Ceri.
As always in a Rachel Morgan book there is a lot going on and Rachel must deal with it all as well as trying to heal from the tragedy that struck her in the previous book. I don't know how Kim Harrison does it but the story never bogs down as Rachel moves from one crisis to another. In this book we get a glimpse into Rachel's childhood and more contact with her mother. I love her mother and my favorite scene is when she is giving Rachel advice on her love life. I liked how all the plot lines come together in the end and Rachel is able to save the day with just the right amount of humor and dramatic flair.
As far as the narrator of this book it is the only one that does not have Marguerite Gavin narrating and this narrator is Gigi Bermingham. My only complaint about this book is the narrator I disliked the way she voiced Jenks but it wasn't enough to make me stop the audiobook. When listening to this book just do like I did and keep reminding yourself she only does this book and Ms. Gavin will return for White Witch, Black Curse and it will help you get through Jenks' voice narration. Overall, I really like Outlaw Demon Wails and give this audiobook four solid laser pistols.
The plotting of a series involving the same main character usually starts to falter about this time. Not so with the Hollows series. This book is probably the best so far, slightly edging out book 2.

The characters continue to develop nicely, the plotting is intricate and interesting and the writing overall is just getting better. Now, there explanations of actions of other books, The issues, events and sometime open plot and character questions left open in other books are seamlessly woven into the story and answered effortlessly here. In other books, I felt that Ms. Harrison sometimes forgot the explanation given in other novels and at times the plotting and explanations in one book conflicted with those of another.

I particularly enjoy the fact that there is not a heavy emphasis on romance in this book, which I find boring. In most of these paranormal romances, male characters generally become siphers; their sole existence is protect and moon over the heroine. Once interesting, they become bland, boring and sterile. Ms. Harrison fell into that trap with the unfortunate Kisten. Once interesting, he turned into a male with little life of his own except to support Rachel. Nick also was plunged into that hole, but was redeemed by turning out to be a bit of a rake with his own agenda.

There is sexual tension but the whole book doesn't revolve around it. In fact the story could stand alone without it

All in all, fine effort and I am looking forward to the next book. BTW, I did listen to the audible version. Once you get over the shock of hearing a different voice than the chameleon like Margarite Gavin, the audible book was not that bad. I agree , Jenks voice was bit too effeminate and screachy for my taste but the version was listenable. However, I do prefer Ms. Gavin and I am glad that she makes a return as narrator for the rest of the series.
I have read the whole series, so this isn't particular to this book, but the main character frustrates me in as much as she won't kill anyone (though they deserve it), even though she talks smack (a lot), but when it comes down to it her morals are more important than the people in her life. There are many instances when if she had put the greater good ahead of herself - and she whines in her head that it's all her fault and usually it is - several of the people in her life would be alive. I hated this part of the books. The action, the twists and turns, the unexpected surprises, the relationships, etc. All good! I would rate them a 5. But the main character pissed me off so many times, I wanted to smack her myself. At times she acts like a bully and wonders why people react ugly. At others she doesn't react when she should. Overall I would recommend this series, but wish the author would take this information and use it in her next series.
