witches

Rachel Morgan, kick-butt witch and bounty hunter, has taken her fair share of hits, and has broken lines she swore she would never cross. But when her lover was murdered, it left a deeper wound than Rachel ever imagined, and now she won't rest until his death is solved . . . and avenged. Whatever the cost. This book is so sad, sadder than the others because to me it feels like Rachel and Ivy (while they've cracked the case) are losing it. The farther into the series I get the more worried I am. Rachel's been shunned, called a black witch, and she's even a bit of a demon. Pierce is pretty adorable though. 5/5 stars, I hope Rache and Ivy aren't going nuts, but I won't keep my hopes up, because there's always that possibility.

A fiendish serial killer stalks the Hollows, claiming victims across society, and the resulting terror ignites a vicious Inderland gang war. And while the ancient artifact Rachel is hiding may be the key to stopping the murderer, revealing it could also create a battle to the death among the numerous supernatural races that live in and around Cincinnati. For every action has its price, and when the vampire master Piscary is set free and the demonic Algaliarept dares to walk openly under the sun, even Rachel Morgan can't hide forever. This book was good in the beginning, but what happens after Piscary is let loose make's me sad and angry. 3/5 stars, just because Kisten died. I like him a lot.

Most people have heard of Harry Potter. The majority of people have seen the movies. Quite a few people have read the books. Yet, because of certain "dark" content, Christians began to degrade the well written book series. Yes, some parts of the books are "dark". Yes, there are some things in there that, from a Christian worldview, may not be entirely agreeable. But you need darkness to see the light more clearly. The light at the end of the tunnel for J.K. Rowling's beloved series is book seven, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. After I finished the book for the first time this last September, I sighed with content. As a Christian, I couldn't have asked for a better or more clear allegory of what I believe to be Truth. I feel that Christians should read the entire series before making any judgement on content; Ms. Rowling knew what she was doing when she put the elements of a story into her fabulous, well rounded characters. I have not yet seen the movies, but am going to soon. My hope is that they capture the kind of values and core elements that are so preciously captured throughout the Harry Potter series. Really, I think everybody should read these books with an open mind and learn what they can. Even if you don't agree with everything, the experience will be worth your time.
