The Undead Pool (Hollows) (edição 2014)

And everything has changed. I didn't like Goddess creature. It was ok for me. ( )

I'm always looking forward to more Hollows books, and now that they're beginning to wrap up, I'm getting very sad.

That being said, I was torn at the beginning of the read. I could tell where it was heading, or thought I could, because of the elven magic developments. The goddess, et al., while interesting, had me thinking that it might get a little cliche. I'm very happy to say that I was very wrong. I didn't expect what I got, and I reveled in the major developments, including the one at the end of the novel. Maybe the novel wasn't entirely up to the same standards as I've grown to love in the series, but I absolutely loved where it went and how it messed with our heroine. I found myself just wishing that I could read the novel forever and ever, never wanting it to end. For that, perhaps I ought to give it a 5 star rating instead of the 4 I did. Then again, I'm changing it to 5 because the real 4.5 ain't an option. :) ( )

Synopsis: 'For the past three months, Rachel has been providing security for Trent Kalamack while Quen is across the country, regulating Ellasbeth’s visit with the girls. When Rachel’s spells begin to misfire, Rachel thinks it’s a reaction to her deepening feelings for Trent. Soon, spells begin to misfire all over the city, creating chaos and weakening the already tremulous truce that exists between the humans and the supernaturals. As Rachel and her friends dig deeper, they discover a plan that will destroy the master vampires and throw the city into an all out super natural war. One thing will stop the catastrophe coming their way; invoking the wild elven magic. Only, that may do more harm than good where Rachel is concerned.'
Review: This book works hard at pulling all of the strings together and setting up the final book. These are still as good as the first one. ( )

Fabulous! Wonderful! The best one yet. Rachel has to figure out why the undead are sleeping and the Mystics are attracted to her, as all hell is breaking loose around her, and just maybe find a little happiness for herself.
