Fistful of Charms by Kim Harrison
As Ive been trying to read 50 books in one year I have slowly been working my way through Kim Harrisons The Hollows (Rachel Morgan) series, and I just completed the fourth book, Fistful of Charms. The series follows the adventures of Rachel Morgan, a witch and independent runner, which is kind of like a private investigator/bounty hunter.
In the last books Jenks has been on the outs with Ivy and Rachel, but when Jenks son Jax disappears and then calls for help Jenks and Rachel rush to Michigan to pick him up.
Jax tells them that Rachels ex-boyfriend Nick the thief is being held on an island populated by Weres because he double crossed them after finding an artifact that has gone missing for centuries.
After using a spell, actually a curse but shes not splitting hairs, to shift into a wolf form so she can fight an alpha were for their freedom, she wins the battle and they manage to escape the island.
However Nick has the artifact and the Weres will do anything to retrieve it. Somehow, Jenks, Rachel and Ivy who joins them later must find a way to elude the Weres and stop Nick from stealing the artifact otherwise a vampire/Were power struggle will break out with many people injured in what eventually will become a war.
I liked this book, along with the others in the series that I have read. Harrison gives her characters real and messy lives, which can be hard in a sci-fi setting. There is,however, quite a lot of introspection on Rachels part in this book making her kind of whinny. It was good to see some of the reasoning behind some of the characters choices, but it did get a little annoying. I will still read the next book, which is coming to me via paperback swap.
So a little more than a month to go (33 days) and five books still to finish. . . Im not sure Im gonna make this but I am really proud of how far Ive come.
