Review:
This is the third book in the series following Rachel Morgan, the white witch whose life seems to lurch from one disaster to the next. Although this book sort-of works on its own there are a lot of back-references to the previous two books ("Dead Witch Walking" and "The Good, The Bad And The Undead") and I think it's probably best to read them in order. There are some spoilers for the previous books in the review below, so beware! At the end of the last book Rachel had overcome the master vampire Piscary (with the help of Kisten his former scion) although with a lot of trouble on the way - she had accidentally made her boyfriend Nick her familiar and had got more involved with the demon, Algaliarept, plus her roommate Ivy had rediscovered her taste for blood. The events in "Every Which Way But Dead" take place three months after the end of the previous book and it seems that Rachel's life is changing again. Boyfriend Nick Sparagmos has become rather elusive - Jenks thinks it's all over. And then Kisten the vampire appears on the scene again and Rachel wonders if she can trust him - after all, he did try to help her defeat Piscary. Plus Ivy's hunting of Rachel continues and Ivy's link to Piscary isn't helping. And Algaliarept wants to collect on the deal she made with him three months ago - which probably means the loss of her soul. This book felt to me like Kim Harrison was really hitting her stride in writing. Although the first two books were really good reads this one was definitely better. There was actually less relentless action in it and much more time was spent with the characters - Rachel, Ivy and Kisten mainly. I was very glad that Rachel was rid of the drippy and wet Nick and tumbled into a fling with the phwoar-tastic Kisten. The background plot of Trent Kalamack and his doings continued, of course, with a little local power struggle between Piscary's lot and a newcomer on the scene, but the main action was about Rachel and her tangled life and her ever-growing link with Algaliarept and attempts to keep out of his hands. Jenks and his family are in the story, of course, as light relief and I love their interactions; this book was a bit more steamy than the previous two and there was more focus on the relationship between Ivy and Rachel. Overall this was another really good read from Kim Harrison. Less spells, more character, and I felt that was a definite improvement in direction and made for a more enjoyable and meaty book.
