Rachel Morgan is a runner with the Inderland Runner Services, apprehending law-breakers throughout Cincinnati. She’s also a witch, one of the many Inderlanders who revealed themselves after a genetically engineered virus wiped out 50% of humanity. Witches, warlocks, vampires, werewolves-the creatures of dreams and nightmares have lived beside humans for centuries, hiding their powers. But now they’ve stopped hiding, and nothing will be the same.On the run with a contract on her head, Rachel reluctantly teams up with Ivy, Inderland’s best runner… and a living vampire. But this witch is way out of her league, and to clear her name, Rachel must evade shapechanging assassins, outwit a powerful businessman/crimelord, and survive a vicious underground fight-to-the-death… not to mention her own roommate!
rating: 4 of 5 stars
I read the ebook edition of Dead Witch Walking, and unfortunately the layout caused the text to be small and difficult to read, but I adjusted to that eventually.
The story started out pretty slow, but it did improve. I wasn't expecting much because I'm more partial to urban fantasy/paranormal romance (vampires), but the escapades of Rachael quickly captured my attention. There are quite a few unanswered question in book 1, but I'm sure Kim Harrison provides answers in the other books in The Hollows series.
