Final review of "Dead Witch Walking" by Kim Harrison

It had been a slow going beginning but about 70 pages in the storyline had pick up at a nice pace. I think that this book is a great opening for the series. Highly recommended for anyone who is looking for a book that is not just about sappy romance but with enough heat between Rachel, Ivy, Nick, and Trent that just increases the readers interest just to see how the situations outcome is revealed. I am ready to start reading the second in the series as soon as I can! I believe that now the background has been laid out, everything else for details will fall into place much smoother now!

Next on the reading schedual- "Ecstasy in the Darkness" by Gena Showalter only to follow up soon with "The Good, The Bad and The Undead" By Kim Harrison

My introduction and my review of "Dead Witch Walking" by Kim Harrison

So I am brand new to blogging but I am not new to being on the the web, having my opion being heard or just talking without anyone listening... I guess then I was made for blogging! I work in a local hospital as an RN on a medical surgery/ ICU step-down/ telemetry unit- otherwise its a hodgepodge kind of unit where anyone that isn't a minor, can breath on their own, and not giving birth can be admitted to my floor.

Anyways- I am reading a book called Dead Witch Walking by Kim Harrison. Being around half way through the book I am happy that there is plenty action to keep me motivated reading at a good pace. I was slightly upset in the beginning of the book since it was confusing to understand about anything the I.S. (Inlander Security) or about the "Turning" (when a virus kills most humans but doesn't really affect any werewolfs, witches, pixies, fairies, ect.) until almost 50 pages into the story. After several things where explained- everything else fell into place. Being halfway through this book and the twisting and turning events around every corner; it seems like this storyline is getting real good and has my recommendation to anyone that has a willingness to continue reading a story that pays off with action and a thrilling story as long as you can keep reading past the past first 50 pages in this novel.
