Dead Witch Walking

Hollows, Book 1

De: Kim Harrison

Narrado por: Marguerite Gavin

"It isn’t easy to write a protagonist that blends the best qualities of Anita Blake and Stephanie Plum, but Kim Harrison carries it off with style. This is a fun book! Read it!" (Jim Butcher, number one New York Times best-selling author)

In the Hollows, the vampires come out to play...and it’s always witching hour.

The first book in number one New York Times best-selling author Kim Harrison’s Hollows series!

All the creatures of the night gather in "the Hollows" of Cincinnati, to hide, to prowl, to party...and to feed.

Vampires rule the darkness in a predator-eat-predator world rife with dangers beyond imagining - and it’s Rachel Morgan’s job to keep that world civilized.

A bounty hunter and a witch with serious sex appeal and an attitude, she’ll bring ’em back alive, dead...or undead.

great book

I loved this book and I can't wait to hear the whole series I'm so excited!!!!

A unique types of friends

Amazing.... I truly loved the story line and how detailed it was
everyone had a unique personality. How they all drift together as a team and soon to be great friends.

love it

This series was one of my first introductions to urban fantasy and I love it. I love the modern timelines, I love that you can have magic without medieval harsh lines of historical accuracy. I love the idea that instead of going to the moon they focused on bio weapons and it created a totally new world. The main character I remember reading when I was in my early twenties and now that I'm in my mid-thirties I look back and still holds up and makes sense. It reminds me kind of the way I first watched Carrie Fisher as Leia Skywalker and thought oh wow, she's kind of annoying but really she was just a strong forceful personality. The only reason I didn't give the performance a five star is because I hear the characters very differently and some of the tones were odd like talking softly read at full volume: very nitpicky did a wonderful performance otherwise.

Fun Story Ok Narration

This series comes highly recommended, so I gave it a shot. The story was entertaining, and the characters were interesting. The narration wasn't bad, it just wasn't my favorite. The narrator sounded a little like she was reading most of the time, instead of bringing me into the story.

I'd still recommend giving it a try and I'm going to try book 2, just to see if I get into it a little more. There's so many people that rave about this series, so I'm going to try another book to see what the fuss is about.

great series

I ran across this series again and was glad as I listened to it on CD the first time years ago. If I were to say anything it's that this first book in the series started slow to me.

Solid First Entry

I enjoyed the world building in the story, and it definitely has potential. There is some very heavy handed foreshadowing, and pretty terrible tropes, but it’s a first entry, so I’m willing so stick around.

Also, the main character gets a bit annoying with the giant chip on her shoulder. She knows nothing, but never wants help, and is always rescued and carried by those around her. Hopefully she gets better in future books.

So fun to listen to!

Rachel is probably top 3 of my favorite FMC, the Kim portrays her is amazing! The plot and follow through are well met. Just as glad I own the audiobooks as I am of my paperbacks!

Kept me on my toes.

Could not hardly wait for my next chance to listen to it. excellent book to listen to or even read.

Loved this!!

I have been a HUGE fan of Kim Harrison and her Hollows series since they first came out in print. The Audible version didn’t let me down. Loved the narrator and I’m glad she’s narrating the next book I just downloaded. Thanks Audible.

Lost Girl meets Anita Blake....Noir story telling that you can sink your teeth into!

I LOVE the world building and mythos Kim Harrison lays out in this first novel!
