Rachel Morgan has fought and hunted vampires, werewolves, banshees, demons, and other supernatural dangers as both witch and bounty hunter—and lived to tell the tale. But she’s never faced off against her own kind, until now. Denounced and shunned for dealing with demons and black magic, her best hope is life imprisonment-at worst, a forced lobotomy and genetic slavery.

Before I dig in I have to say I'm a very big fan of Kim Harrison and I love the hollows series I have been anxiously awaiting this book for a long time and I'm glad I got it.
Unfortunately, this is probably the weakest book in the line so far. I counted a rather disappointing number of "mistakes" in this book as if the author had forgotten the details of the books before it. I don't want to give anything away here but sometimes I feel authors should re-read their own material before writting the next one, it would cut down on the goofs.
Also in this story Rachel very much came off like a self righteous cry baby in the weirdest places. going on and on about things that were fairly cut and dry, and did so in a manner that feels contrary to her very well established character. Obviously there have to be conflicts and characters have to evolve and change I get that but in this story it came off really whiney and out of place, almost like Rachel was suddenly 17 or something.
Over all I still enjoyed this book and I am already looking forward to the next one. I'm sure it will be better.

By day, her tattoos are her armor. By night, they unwind from her body to take on forms of their own. Demons of the flesh, turned into flesh. This is the only family demon hunter Maxine Kiss has ever known. The only way to live---and the very way she'll die. For one day, her demons will abandon her for her daughter to ensure their own survival---leaving Maxine helpless against her enemies.

I should say I only grabbed this book because I like listening to M. Gavin's narration.
the IDEA of this story is really really good.
Unfortunately, the main character Maxine, very poorly thought out. For one, she's a demon "hunter" but hunts nothing the entire length of the book. Every single confrontation flops in front of her as if by accident and then some one or something fights FOR her.
secondly: demon killer, who uses DEMONS to kill DEMONS...hypocritical considering her "Deep hatred for all things demonic".
And the biggest gripe of all. a Demon hunter, who was born of a long historical line of demon hunters, born and bred, raised for one singular purpose, to hunt demons, and she knows absolutely NOTHING about them or their world! what the hell did her mommy teach other than fighting?...nothing!!! seems so stupid to me.
not to mention that normal society doesn't seem to mind all the demon possessed "zombies" anyway! which in the end makes our "hero" stupid, Hypocritical, and useless. SURROUNDED by people who know everything but won't tell her... being "cryptic" just for the sake of being Cryptic.
this book is infuriatingly bad. it just wasn't very thought out.
