Million Dollar Demon is the latest addition to Kim Harrison’s Hollows series. Like the others in this series, this one sucks you in from the get go. While Morgan is the main character, it felt as if the story was more about the interland species of Cincinnati. The coming together of species to fight injustice and give all for what is right really drove the storyline. We see the introduction of a few new characters which I have a sneaking suspicion we will see in future books. Of course we have a new ‘big bad’ who is simply insane. The book wraps up nicely leaving readers with a completed story, but keeps the ending open for all sorts of new possibilities. I loved this book, but to be honest, I love the series as a whole and am rarely disappointed by Harrison’s writing.

Rachel has to do some quick thinking to save Cincinnati from the new master vampire. With no help from the demons, Rachel does what she does best - kicks a$$ and takes names! Action, laughter, and romance makes this one hell of a ride. Buckle up!

Love, Love, LOVE this series!! So glad to read, recently, that it will be extended by a few more books. Love the gang and am always so happy to rejoin them. This was another fantastic installment that kept me on the edge of my seat and giggling through much of it. Rachel will always be one of my all-time favorite heroines!!

I adore the world of the Hallows! Rachel Morgan is a consistent character, while still growing as a person. Some authors stray from the essential feel of a character after sooo many books, but Kim Harrison is on point. In the latest installment, vampires are the main problem for Rachel to fret over. I would prefer more interaction and issues with the demons. They are just more interesting. However, it is still a very enjoyable book and a reliable read for Kim Harrison fans.

I'm happy I got to read Million Dollar Demon. I've been reading this series for years and so enjoy it.
This book puts Rachel in a fight with a master vampire for the city. And if you have read any of the series you know Rachel loves her city and doesn't give up easily.
I really enjoyed this book. There were some parts that I can't wait to see how they turn out. I was really happy with this book.


Thanks to Netgalley and Berkley Publishing for giving me the opportunity to read this book.

Whelp. I'm going against the grain on this one and suggesting that Harrison should really have left this where it was. Also? Is it just me or are we, culturally, getting over sexy vampire lust scenarios? I will say: This would have been a fine installment had the series not literally ended, and basically satisfactorily, some time ago.

Good book. Plenty of otherworld characters. First time I have read Kim Harrison and I will try some of her others. I liked the main characters.

Once again, I find myself so thankful for Kim Harrison and her publishers for bringing back Rachel's story with more action, adventure, magic, and casual intimacy that I ever thought possible. Each installment makes me fall deeper in love with the world of the Hollows. Million Dollar Demon was a wild ride with so many twists and turns, I'm amazed we made it out alive!

With longer series, sometimes the large number of characters limits the depth of the story, but that's not the case here. Harrison has seamlessly woven new and multi-dimensional people like Pike and Zack into a complicated story line and made it WORK! Some of the major players took a back seat in Million Dollar Demon, but the new faces more than made up for it! Rachel simultaneously makes me want to cheer her on and rip my hair out, a feeling I probably share with most of her allies in Cincinnati. Likewise with the demons, who manage to be absolutely useless despite their awesome levels of power. Luckily, Rachel has made friends all over, and finally it seems that most of them are starting to appreciate all that she's sacrificed for the good of the city. Trent and Rachel's mutual love for each other just gets me every time, and I savor the quiet moments they manage to carve out of the chaos their lives have become. Found family is a big part of Rachel's life, and seeing the strength of her bonds with Jenks, Trent, David, and even the city was so satisfying! Harrison has once again given me everything I didn't know I wanted, and still left me desperate for more!

Overall, Million Dollar Demon was an extremely satisfying read (10/10 would recommend!). Character growth, complicated new characters, joke spells gone so right, what more could you ask for? Any Hollows fan is going to love the latest of Rachel's escapades, but I wouldn't recommend starting the series with this book. Start from the beginning, and you won't be disappointed! Rachel has overcome so much to get here, and I can't wait to see where she goes on her next joyride!

Special thanks to Berkley and Netgalley for providing me an advanced copy in exchange for an honest and unbiased review!

I can never get enough of the Hollows crew. I was so excited when Kim Harrison revived this series last year. She’s a master world-builder and storyteller. This author never fails to put me through the full range of emotions, from angry outbursts to laugh-out-loud moments. Her characters are unique and consistent. And how she juggles such a huge supporting cast is mind-boggling.
There’s never a dull moment in the lives of Rachel Morgan and her friends, and this book is no exception. Jenks is the ultimate sidekick and comic relief. Rachel and Trent’s romance continues to be swoon-worthy. Though I’m still waiting for a little hiccup that will bring back some of the strife that sparked such chemistry in the earlier books.
Million Dollar Demon follows ANOTHER new master vampire. And, as usual, Rachel is butting heads. I find the vampires the most annoying aspect of the series. Everyone tip-toes around them and they continue to act like entitled psychopaths, steam-rolling over all the other species. Why the other Inderlanders don’t band together against vampires instead of wasting time bashing Rachel (who actually does some good in their world) I will never understand. But of course, instead of blasting them to cinders (as she is clearly capable of) Rachel opts for the high road.
I give Kim Harrison’s new book five stars because, despite my bouts of frustration, few series can prompt me to write such impassioned reviews. Kudos, Kim!
