Book Description

It's a tough life for witch Rachel Morgan, sexy, independent bounty hunter, prowling the darkest shadows of downtown Cincinnati for criminal creatures of the night.

She can handle the leather-clad vamps and even tangle with a cunning demon or two. But a serial killer who feeds on the experts in the most dangerous kind of black magic is definitely pressing the limits.

Confronting an ancient, implacable evil is more than just child's play -- and this time, Rachel will be lucky to escape with her very soul.

The Barnes & Noble Review
Sexy earth witch and leather-loving bounty hunter Rachel Morgan returns in The Good, the Bad, and the Undead, the sequel to Kim Harrison's wildly popular debut novel, Dead Witch Walking. Rachel's newest adventure finds her hot on the trail of a serial killer -- and she's his next target!

Having recently quit her job as a runner (supernatural bounty hunter) for Inderland Security to form her own agency, Rachel is finding it hard to make ends meet. Living in an old church in the Hollows of Cincinnati with an ill-tempered vampire named Ivy Tamwood and a wisecracking pixie named Jenks, she is forced to take any job she can get -- like rescuing a baseball team's mascot! But after a series of gruesome murders involving witches, Rachel is hired by the Federal Inderland Bureau to help track down the killer. Her investigation leads her to Trent Kalamack, a powerful councilman with ties to the supernatural underground. But as Rachel gets closer to the killer, she learns more about her own mysterious past -- and what she finds out could kill her!

Fans of hybrid series that blend genres -- horror, romance, mystery, and fantasy -- like Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake novels, Charlaine Harris's Southern Vampire saga, and Kelley Armstrong's Women of the Otherworld sequence -- will undoubtedly enjoy Harrison's novels. With strong female characters, breakneck pacing, and enough juicy subplots and villainous secret agendas to power a daytime soap opera indefinitely, these novels are utterly readable: the very definition of guilty pleasure.

FROM THE PUBLISHER

Rachel Morgan￯﾿ﾽs back, and in more trouble than ever! Fans of Laurell K. Hamilton and other vampire novels won￯﾿ﾽt want to miss the second novel in Kim Harrison￯﾿ﾽs addicting--and already bestselling--supernatural series.

Former-bounty-hunter Rachel Morgan has it pretty good. She￯﾿ﾽs left the corrupt Inderland Runner Service and started her own independent service. She￯﾿ﾽs survived werewolves, shape-changing demons, bad-hair days, and sharing a church with her vampire roommate Ivy. She even has a cute (if human) boyfriend-what more could a witch want?

But living with a reformed vampire isn￯﾿ﾽt all it￯﾿ﾽs cracked up to be, particularly when your roommate￯﾿ﾽs very bad ex-boyfriend wants her back, and wouldn￯﾿ﾽt mind you in the process. And especially when he￯﾿ﾽs six feet of sheer supernatural seduction, and you￯﾿ﾽve got a demon mark that makes vampires literally hotter than hell....
