Review:
Myth: 4.5/5
The Hollows was the first urban fantasy series that I loved and 15+ years later I still love each new installment. I guess it’s only been about 4 years in Rachel’s world, but she continues to kick ass and Million Dollar Demon was no different.
Rachel always has a lot going on, this story focused on the incoming master vampire and her continued feud with her demon mentor, Al. I love that she’s getting pressure to take on the master vampire to claim Cincinnati as her own. I totally get and stand by why this journey had to be hers, but I definitely miss more of the demon intervention (don’t worry, there’s still a handfull of scenes with your faves). You can also expect familiar faces outside of the ever-after. Jenks is on Rachel’s shoulder through all of the mischief and of course swoon-worthy Trent Kalamack loving and supporting Rachel in just the right ways. The core team is strong and on display as they face off against the new threat.
Magic: 4/5
Rachel is always bending the rules, in this case, playing with both demon and elf magic. Those are some of my favorite new scenes, along with her tower spell lair.
Overall: 4.5/5
I loved it. I can’t wait to see where this story arc takes the series. And I’ll leave you with my favorite quote from the book, a little snippet of convo between Dali and Rachel:
“Do you know how hard it is to find something that says ultimate power without looking like a dime-store comic book villain?” he muttered.
“Only every day of my life”
