The latest stirring instalment of the urban fantasy-thriller series starring Rachel Morgan. A pacey and addictive novel of sexy bounty-hunting witches, cunning demons and vicious vampires. Having barely escaped being skewered by the criminal vampire overlord of Cinncinati, Rachel now has even bigger problems to contend with. The demon, Algaliarept, although banished back into the everafter has infected others of his kind with his interest in a witch who can channel demon magic. Rachel soon finds herself with not one but three hellions on her tail; and one of them is even crazier and more dangerous than all the fairy assassins, weres and vampires on the planet. Published as 'The Outlaw Demon Wails' in the US.

The only girl in a large family of boys, former tomboy Kim Harrison invented the first Brigadier General Barbie in self-defence. She shoots a very bad game of pool and rolls a very good game of dice. When not at her keyboard, she enjoys lounging on the couch with a bowl of popcorn watching action movies with The-Guy-In-The-Leather-Jacket. She plays her Ashiko drum when no one is listening, and is hard to find when the moon is new.

The latest book by Kim Harrison which fans around the world has had fans waiting for what feels like an age. However what will cause some concern is that depending where you're getting it from will depend upon the title to which it will have which will cause no end of confusion as fans chat about the events upon different message boards.

As you've come to expect from Kim's writing its witty, classy and a book that concentrates upon the characterisation and interaction of the principle protagonista and her Investagative Posse. Addictive, fun and above all a story that will amuse not only the fans but open darker doors for which we can only speculate as to how much trouble Rachel is going to wonder into in later novels. However one thing I would say to readers is, if this is your first KH book, don't, whilst it is the newest you will lose out on a whole host of adventure as well as plot points by having missed out the earlier tales. You could read it as a new reader but to do so would ruin the opportunity of reading the earlier novels as certain plot points are gently placed within this book's pages.
