A Perfect Blood (The Hollows, #10)A Perfect Blood by Kim Harrison

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Can I be fickle for a sec?

Or, no, actually, I'm not asking. I'm drinking wine at 10:00 on a Saturday morning while I start to wrap everything glass that I own and put it in boxes. And I'd turn this into another all-about-me review, except if I actually rattled off everything that's going down with my dying grandfather and the fertility clinic ridiculousness and my girlfriend's radiation treatments, no one would believe me because really

So I'm going to be fickle. Suck it up.

All of which is to say . . . um . . . I liked this. After having alternately sneered and bitched at the past four books. All Harrison's more obnoxious ticks are still present and accounted for (and why does she have to introduce a random new dude we don't care about yet again?) but somehow this still hit the sweet spot. It was distracting and comfily familiar and --

Okay, not just fickle. Totally honest.

The elf and the witch? I ship it. I ship it bad. And this book clearly set them up as the endgame so yeah, I dug it. Don't start with me.

And now I drink more wine.
