Hello Dear Readers --I have been excited to come back to one of my fav authors - Kim Harrison and visited in on the trio of Rachel Morgan, Ivy Tamwood, and Jinx the pixy.
In her first book of the series, Dead Witch Walking, we are submerged into the world of post-Turn Cincinnati, OH. On the Turn, all the supernatural citizens "came out of the closet" as it were, after the human population of the earth was decimated by a genetically engineered virus named Angel that was transmitted via tomatoes some thirty years behind us.
Rachel, Jinx and Ivy are working for the I.S. - Interlander Security - an CIA for the supernaturals. They decide on the first night to leave and Rachel is slammed with a death threat from her former employer. She manages to evade them and get her contract bought off by the human version of the IS - the FIB - Federal Interlander Bureau. By hook and crook we are introduced to Rachel's new world of freelance and the mysterious first citizen of Cincinnati, Trent Kalmack and finds out he is running brimstone and bio drugs.
This book weaves together action, adventure, a healthy dose of paranoia, and an interesting alternate history. These three along with their two main antagonists, Trent Kalmack and the demon Al are introduced. Since I've read the next several books, I'll tell you Kim did a great job of setting herself up for a nice long series of awesome books.
Werq!
