Part of The Hollows, book 9.5
First published 2011
Kim Harrison opens her supernatural world through the eyes of investigative reporter Devin Crossman. One botched spell sends Crossman on a mission to expose bounty-hunting witch Rachel Morgan and reveal her secrets to the public. His investigation takes him deep into the Hollows, where Inderlanders control society and humans follow their rules or face consequences. Crossman compiles notebook entries, maps, species profiles, and magical formulas as he builds his case. He gathers documents from Inderland Security, song lyrics from Takata, recipes from Betty Bob, ley line charms, Were Registry entries, and articles from the Hollows Gazette. His collection includes Rynn Cormel's Vampire Dating Guide, demonic spells, and secret letters from Trent Kalamack. But Crossman's crusade against Rachel Morgan attracts dangerous attention. This companion guide reveals the inner workings of Harrison's supernatural universe, where vampires, witches, Weres, gargoyles, trolls, fairies, banshees, and demons shape daily life.
