“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, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author

"When I first started this book I couldn't get into it. Usually, if I'm really into a book, I'll finish it in a day or two. It took my almost 2 weeks to read this. Once I actually got into it though, about half way through, I really liked the characters and couldn't put it down. The copy I have is a 2 in one with the first and second in one edition so I read straight through the 2nd one and then read the 3rd, 4th, and 5th. Now I just need to finish the series!"
— Nikki (4 out of 5 stars)
“You’ll love this bounty-hunter team…Dead Witch Walking is a fun-fair ride through a fascinating version of our world.”
— Charlaine Harris, #1 New York Times bestselling author" This is a major guilty pleasure! I actually didn't like the first book (this one) so much but gave it another chance with the second because the series was recommended. They get better and I was totally sucked in. If you're a fan of cheesy fantasy books, you'll love it. "
— Kyra, 2/9/2014" The very first book that started my obsession for reading fantasy, if not for Kim Harrison and her amazing series The Hollows I would probably even today remain oblivious to the wonders of reading. So I will forever treasure this book and be grateful to the author who created it. "
— Victoria, 2/7/2014" Though I'm normally more a fan of mysteries than fantasy books, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Kim Harrison has the storytelling ability to make the world drop away while you're reading her books. I loved Jenks' character the most, and I found the strange connection between Ivy and Rachel intriguing. I appreciated that while the book did have closure, there were several loose ends left open for the next book in the series. "
— Anne, 2/2/2014" it is comedic which was a surprise-listening on CD and the reader is very good - story and writing is simplistic and entertaining but not sure if I could have gotten through reading it and not listening to it "
— Lynne, 1/25/2014" It was good. I like Rachel and Ivy. Plenty of action. "
— Temple, 1/20/2014" I did like it. I was a good read . I am looking forward to getting my hands on the next one. "
— Rachel, 1/19/2014" Re-reading the series, as I just got the tenth book and have to catch myself up. "
— Maggie, 1/6/2014" a bit confusing with what's happening in the story. "
— Kristel, 12/21/2013" In an alternate universe a virus exposes the different species among us. Vampires, faeries, werewolves, pixies not to mention witches. The wide range of characters, mystery and strange plot twists have kept me reading this series. We'll see how long the interest lasts. "
— Jerri, 12/15/2013" Really did not like this but going to read the second book just to be sure "
— Brandy, 11/29/2013" not as good as I hoped, but ok. "
— David, 11/25/2013" Kind of slowish (is that a word?) at the start, but there was a lot of information to get in...like a pixy can take a fairy! Seriously, what an amazing imagination this author has! The middle and ending were great...definitely left LOTS of room for more books in the series! "
— Dianne, 11/7/2013" Fantastic introduction to the series! Definitely had me hooked from the first chapter on, and I haven't been able to put down any book in the series yet! For those that love the world of the super natural, with hints of humor, and nail biting action, you'll definitely love the Rachel Morgan series! "
— Annia, 8/6/2013" I got 3% in and couldn't go farther. I just couldn't. The protagonist was awful and I felt like there were things I needed to know that weren't explained at all, and maybe they would have been if I'd gone farther. I've never put a book down this quickly. "
— Liz, 7/3/2013" I like the background characters better. :-/ "
— Barbara, 5/20/2013" Love this supernatural series by Kim Harrison. It's a continuous series and has over 10 books so far. "
— Shelley, 4/30/2013" I'd say about 3.5 stars. A fun, quick read. "
— Christine, 2/18/2013" I enjoyed listening to this book on my Kindel, and in the process of listen to the next book in the series.If you like mysteries with vampires, witches, and ware wolfs. Just something different. "
— Judith, 12/27/2012" If you can get past the first two or three desperately overwritten chapters, this book is a surprisingly good read for an urban fantasy. I liked enough to want to read the next one. "
— Amanda, 11/26/2012" Didnt care for this book, Claire always getting beat up, living with a ghost, being in college at 16yrs old.....i dont know what it is i just didnt care for it! "
— Melissa, 4/8/2012" I enjoyed it enough to where I plan to read the next book. Wouldn't call it a great book but I liked it. "
— Josh, 1/11/2012" It took a few chapters for the characters to click for me but couldn't stop after that "
— Tim, 7/7/2011" It took a little while for me to get into the book, but by the end I really liked the story. It will be interesting to see how it turns out. "
— Rhonda, 6/26/2011" Not as good as i thought it would be..kinda draged on an on without anything happing "
— Cristin, 5/21/2011" This whole series is a fun read. The main character is sassy and everyone is Totally Awesome but has major flaws. I don't enjoy fantasy books where your main character is Too Perfect to be True, and this one doesn't do that. Fun to read; the kind of thing dad calls "brain candy." "
— Anja, 5/10/2011" My mother-in-law recommended this book. I didn't think that was something I would find interesting and found it a little slow in the beginning. But I was actually surprised to find that I like it by the time I finished it. I am planning to read the rest of the series. "
— Julie, 5/9/2011" I really enjoy her take on things. Her character development is very good. "
— Michael, 4/25/2011" I just couldn't get through this book. There were too many characters doing too many different things. I found myself confused more often than not, so I had to put it down. "
— Carrie, 4/21/2011" Great start to a series that just keeps getting better with each new book. "
— Alisa, 4/20/2011" First book of series...was ok but the series gets alot better! Light, fun reading. "
— Amber, 4/14/2011" A decent story, but badly written. "
— tellthesky, 4/14/2011" If I would ever allow myself to stop reading a book in the middle, I would have stopped this one. I didn't feel any connection to the characters or the storyline; I was happy to finish it "
— Kelly, 4/14/2011" witches, pixies, fairies, weres, vampires...what's not to love! Our main character makes some powerful enemies and must use all of her charms and spells to stay alive and not stray over to the dark side. "
— Connie, 4/12/2011" This book starts slow but ends really great. The rest of the series is unforgettable. "
— Kristin, 4/12/2011" Just couldn't get into it. Felt like I read it before. "
