New Releases by Kim Harrison

“I wouldn’t miss a Kim Harrison book for anything.” —Charlaine Harris There’s nothing more darkly satisfying than time spent in the Hollows—New York Times bestseller Kim Harrison’s alternate urban fantasy Cincinnati where vampires, pixies, and werewolves roam free. Harrison takes us back in A Perfect Blood, as former bounty hunter witch-turned-reluctant daywalking demon Rachel Morgan investigates a series of ritual murders, only to discover to her horror that whomever—or whatever—is responsible is actually seeking her blood. Rachel’s sexy, supernatural adventures have consistently landed atop bestseller lists from coast-to-coast, and A Perfect Blood is no exception—another supremely satisfying excursion to a deliciously eerie fantasy realm that’s certain to delight Kim Harrison’s voracious army of fans…not to mention Laurell K. Hamilton, Charlaine Harris, Jim Butcher, Kelley Armstrong, Patricia Briggs, and Stephanie Meyers aficionados, and any reader who craves a walk on the wild, dark side.

Krutá noční stvoření, plížící se Cincinnati, čarodějku a lovkyni hlav Rachel Morganovou nenávidí. Zvěsti o její nové zálibě v temném umění poutají pozornost jak nemrtvých, tak i lidí. Všichni touží po jediném – Rachel ovládnout, dostat ji do postele a zabít. Nicméně ne nutně v tomto pořadí... Nečekaně se vrací i Rachelin lidský milenec, který ji opustil a jehož teď dostihly hříchy minulosti. Pronásledují ho kruté bestie, připravené zničit Díru i všechny v ní, když to bude nutné, které touží po tom, co má Nick ve svém vlastnictví. Rachel ví, že se nesmí příliš vzpouzet, jinak jí hrozí věčné utrpení v rukou pomstychtivého démona. Přesto je nucena jednat. Poprvé za tisíciletí se totiž sbírá smečka odhodlaná pustošit a vládnout. A najednou je v ohrožení víc než jen Rachelina duše.

La vie de Madison ne tenait qu''à un fil... un ange l''a coupé. Pour Madison, le bal de fin d''année a été une tuerie. Littéralement. Et elle se demande encore pourquoi un ange Faucheur (oui, un vrai, avec un F majuscule) a décidé de s''en prendre à elle. À 17 ans à peine, c''est trop injuste! Heureusement, elle a réussi à lui arracher son amulette, ce qui a eu pour étrange effet de l''ancrer sur terre. En somme, Madison est morte, mais pas enterrée! Avec de l''ingéniosité, l''aide d''un ange (bien intentionné celui-là... a priori) et d''un jeune homme (mmh, trop mignon), sans oublier son ange gardien attitré, Madison est prête à prendre son destin en main. Le pire, c''est qu''elle ne croit même pas à tous ces trucs-là.

Révolution chez les anges! Madison a une amulette super puissante, une team d''anges rebelles sous ses ordres et le pouvoir de se projeter dans le temps pour avoir un aperçu du destin: on peut dire que ça change de la routine de la lycéenne lambda! Elle a même un petit ami absolument parfait que son état ne dérange pas le moins du monde. Alors quand la possibilité de retrouver son corps et sa vie d''avant se présente, Madison hésite. Depuis des mois, elle se bat pour ses idéaus, et tout laisser tomber d''un coup semble un sacré gâchis. Saura-t-elle faire le bon choix?

A stirring instalment of the urban fantasy-thriller series starring Rachel Morgan. A pacey and addictive novel of sexy bounty-hunting witches, cunning demons and vicious vampires.

I''m Madison Avery, in charge of heaven''s hit squad . . . and fighting it all the way. When Madison died the night of her prom, she knew her life would never be the same. Now she has a powerful amulet, a team of rogue angels by her side, and the ability to flash forward into the future to see the shape of destiny. And of course, now she''s finally with Josh—a perfect boyfriend who doesn''t even mind that she''s dead. But being dead has its disadvantages, too. Madison feels caught between the light and the dark, and between her real life and her timekeeper status. When Madison has the opportunity to get her body back—to be alive again—she faces her most difficult decision yet. If she claims it, she could return to being a normal girl—and have a chance at a real relationship with Josh. But would having the one thing she wants most in the world also mean giving up everything she''s worked so hard for?

Step into another realm! Enjoy the complete Once Dead, Twice Shy along with excerpts from two other novels by bestselling author Kim Harrison. My name is Madison Avery, and I''m here to tell you that there''s more out there than you can see, hear, or touch. Because I''m there. Seeing it. Touching it. Living it. Madison''s prom was killer—literally. Now, thanks to a mysterious amulet, she''s stuck on Earth: dead but not gone. She has no idea why the dark reaper who did her in was after her, but she''s not about to just sit around and let fate take its course. With a little skilled light-bending, the help of a light reaper (one of the good guys . . . maybe), her cute crush, and oh yeah, her guardian angel, Madison''s ready to take control of her own destiny once and for all, before it takes control of her. Well, if she believed in that stuff.

The second novel in the addictive bestselling supernatural series begun with Dead Witch Walking. To save herself and her vampire roommate, former bounty hunter Rachel Morgan must confront six feet of sheer supernatural seduction—the vampire master—and dark secrets she’s hidden even from herself.

Despite dating one vampire and living with another, Rachel Morgan has always managed to stay just ahead of trouble . . . until now. A fiendish serial killer stalks the Hollows, and no one living in or around Cincinnati—human, inhuman, or undead—is safe. An ancient artifact may be the key to stopping the murderer—a mysterious relic that is now in the hands of Rachel Morgan, fearless independent bounty hunter and reckless witch. But revealing it could ignite a battle to the death among the vast and varied local supernatural races. Rachel''s been lucky so far. But even she can''t hide from catastrophe forever.

The author of the bestselling Dead Witch Walking makes her hardcover debut with this spellbinding new supernatural adventure featuring the highly original Rachel Morgan. Things are going well for Rachel Morgan, witch, independent runner, and one-third of the runner service Vampiric Charms. She’s got a business, friends, even a semi-regular—and always-sexy—boyfriend. So what if Kisten is a vampire? So’s her roommate Ivy.... But an unexpected call for help sends her out of Cincinnati on a desperate trip to rescue the son of her business partner Jenks. It’s fun at first, even with dealing with a human-sized Jenks (you cannot believe how much trouble a 6-foot pixy can cause, especially when he looks like a supermodel...), but the road trip quickly turns dangerous when confronting an old love becomes a fight for survival. For seeing Nick Sparagmos again is the least of Rachel’s problems--the ancient, mystical statue he has stolen holds the key to sinister, wild magic that can change humans into Weres. And for the first time in milennia, the Were packs are banding together to overthrow human and Inderlander alike. The fight that follows will shake Rachel’s very soul...and she will never be the same.

The search for love is spooky in these four paranormal tales of dating disasters from four great authors. She thought her date was out of this world. Actually, he was not of this world . . . We''ve all been on bad dates, nightmare dates, dreadful experiences that turned out to be uniquely memorable in the very worst way. But at least our partners for these detestable evenings were more or less . . . human! Now Kim Harrison, Lynsay Sands, Kelley Armstrong, and Lori Handeland—four of the very best writers currently exploring the dangerous seduction of the supernatural—offer up dating disasters (and unexpected delights) of a completely different sort: dark, wicked, paranormally sensual assignations with werewolves, demon lovers, and the romantically challenged undead. Sexy, witty, chilling, and altogether remarkable, here is proof positive that some love matches are made someplace other than heaven.

This holiday, spend quality time with family and loved ones—living and dead . . . There''s no place like home for the horrordays—unless you''d prefer a romantic midnight walk through a ghost-infested graveyard . . . or a haunted house candlelight dinner with the sexy vampire of your dreams. The (black) magical season is here—and whether it''s a solstice séance gone demonically wrong with the incomparable Kim Harrison, a grossly misshapen Christmas with the remarkable Lynsay Sands, a blood-chilling-and-spilling New Year''s with the wonderful Marjorie M. Liu, or a super-powered Thanksgiving with the phenomenal Vicki Pettersson, one thing is for certain: in the able hands of these exceptional dark side explorers, the holidays are going to be deliciously hellish!

Delve into paranormal realms of magic and danger in this anthology of five new stories from New York Times–bestselling authors. Revisiting the worlds they made famous in their wildly popular fiction, authors Kim Harrison, Jeaniene Frost, Vicki Pettersson, and Jocelynn Drake—plus YA author Melissa Marr with her first adult supernatural thriller—unleash their full arsenal of dark talents in Unbound. Each story in this all-new anthology plunged readers into the shadows where the strange forces stalk the unsuspecting . . . and every soul is a target. The pixy Jenks faces a murderous dryad in Kim Harrison''s "Lay Line Drifter". In "Reckoning", Jeaniene Frost''s master vampire is out to stop a ghoulish serial killer. "Dark Matters" by Vicki Pettersson explores a superhero''s illicit affair. Savannah''s vampiric Keeper must solve a perplexing murder in "The Dead, the Damned, and the Forgotten". And in "Two Lines" a woman must contend with her deadly desires or risk a monstrous transformation.

Il n''y pas à Cincinnati de sorcière plus sexy, dure à cuire et tarée que Rachel Morgan. La chasseuse de primes a déjà mis en péril à maintes reprises sa vie amoureuse, et même son âme, pour expédier les créatures de la nuit derrière les barreaux... Et dans le privé, elle fait de son mieux pour repousser les avances de son associée buveuse de sang. Mais dans le milieu la guerre fait rage, et il est temps pour Rachel de prendre position. D''autant qu''elle a largement contribué à mettre l''ex parrain de la ville sous les verrous non sans avoir passé un accord avec un puissant démon. Accord qui pourrait lui coûter une éternité de souffrances et beaucoup d''autres choses particulièrement dégradantes... Et justement, voici son sombre " maître " qui vient chercher sa récompense...

There''s no witch in Cincinnati tougher, sexier, or more screwed up than bounty hunter Rachel Morgan, who''s already put her love life and soul in dire jeopardy through her determined efforts to bring criminal night creatures to justice. Between "runs," she has her hands full fending off the attentions of her blood-drinking partner, keeping a deadly secret from her backup, and resisting a hot new vamp suitor. Rachel must also take a stand in the war that''s raging in the city''s underworld, since she helped put away its former vampire kingpin—and made a deal with a powerful demon to do so that could cost her an eternity of pain, torment, and degradation. And now her dark "master" is coming to collect his due.

To save the lives of her friends, Rachel did the unthinkable: she willingly trafficked in forbidden demon magic. And now her sins are coming home to haunt her. As Rachel searches for the truth behind a terrifying murder, an even greater menace threatens, for the demon Algaliarept will stop at nothing to claim her, and the discovery of a shocking family secret throws Rachel''s entire life into question. If she is ever to live free, Rachel must first walk willingly into the demonic ever-after in search of long-lost ancient knowledge. But when you dance with demons, you lay your soul on the line . . . and there are some lines that should never be crossed.

Fun, sassy, and filled with action, humor, and romance, "Dead Witch Walking" makes the perfect summer read for anyone who likes vampires, paranormal fantasy, romance, or just a great beach book. Original.
