Black Magic Sanction – A long winded review

[  Mood: Sick ]
[  Currently: Listening to The Next Chapter on CBC Radio ]

Kim Harrion contines to develop her Hollows series in this eigth installment. Rachel is still realing over her shunning for being a black witch. Her mother has moved away in orde to not be affected by the shunning. The Coven is also trying to snatch her out of Cincinnati in order to lobotomize and sterelize her. The lobotomy is to prevent her practicing black magic, but the sterilization has a more sinister purpose.

Rachel has realized that she is the genetic link between witches and demons. Becase of this her children will be demons.The Ravenwood virs (really an ancient elven curse) should have killed her as a child to prevent that from happening. The cure given to her by Trent’s father has made her a menace to society.

Now Rachel is fighting off attacks from the Coven, trying to to keep her demon teacher Al happy, keep Trent off her case and deal with the return of her demon dealing ex-boy friend Nick, all while pushing away the romantic advances of the demon familiar Pierce. Things are going to get bumpy.

SPOILERS BELOW
For the first time, author Harrison has indicated an end point to this series. Trent’s father saved Rachel to keep the demons ot of the world. It is implied that Rachel will become more powerful, perhaps even becoming immortal.

Harrsion is also not afraid to make major changes to her characters. With the death or Matalina and the resetting of Jenk’s biological clock, the pixie part of her world is set to change.

A very good read.
