Ashley Phillips said: " A Few Demons More is one of the most emotionally explosive, high‑stakes, and unforgettable entries in The Hollows. Kim Harrison blends danger, humor, heartbreak, and character growth with a precision that hits hard without ever spoiling the twists. T A Few Demons More is one of the most emotionally explosive, high‑stakes, and unforgettable entries in The Hollows. Kim Harrison blends danger, humor, heartbreak, and character growth with a precision that hits hard without ever spoiling the twists. This book doesn’t just raise the stakes—it rips them open.

One of the most defining lines comes when Rachel reflects, “Sometimes doing the right thing means walking straight into the fire.” It’s a moment that captures her entire arc in this installment—brave, stubborn, and willing to risk everything for the people she loves. Harrison uses moments like this to anchor the supernatural chaos with raw emotional truth.

The character dynamics are some of the strongest in the entire series. Ivy’s presence simmers with tension and loyalty, Jenks remains the perfect blend of humor and heart, and Rachel’s relationships—romantic, platonic, and everything in between—are pushed to their limits. Jenks delivers one of his classic, exasperated gems with, “You’re going to give me a heart attack, Rache,” a line that’s funny on the surface but layered with genuine fear and affection.

The worldbuilding is richer and darker than ever. Cincinnati feels “like a city stitched together with magic, grief, and old debts,” and the deeper dive into demons, ley lines, and supernatural politics adds weight without slowing the pace. The tension is relentless, the mystery tight, and the emotional stakes devastating in the best way.

What makes A Few Demons More shine is how deeply personal it feels. Rachel’s growth is messy, painful, and brave. She’s forced to confront not just external threats but the emotional consequences of every choice she’s made. Harrison balances action with heartbreak, humor with horror, and character growth with gut‑punch moments that stay with you.

For readers who love urban fantasy with emotional depth, razor‑sharp dialogue, and a heroine who refuses to break even when the world tries its hardest, A Few Demons More is a standout—intense, unforgettable, and one of the most powerful books in the series. ...more "
