Dead Witch Walking (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Forty years ago a genetically engineered virus killed half of the world's human population and exposed the creatures of dreams and nightmares that had, until then, lived in secret alongside humanity.

Rachel Morgan is a runner with the Inderland Runner Services, apprehending criminals throughout modern-day Cincinnati. She is also a witch.
Fuelled by pride, Rachel is a talented and unconventional runner, used to confronting criminal vampires, dark witches and homicidal werewolves. But her latest assignments - apprehending cable-stealing magic students and tax-evading leprechauns - have prompted her to break her thirty-year contract with the I.S. and start her own runner agency.

But no one quits the I.S.

Marked for death, Rachel is a dead witch walking unless she can appease her former employers and pay off her contract by exposing the city's most prominent citizen as a drug lord. But making an enemy of the ambiguous Trent Kalamack proves even more deadly than leaving the I.S.

Autorenporträt

Kim Harrison was born and raised in the upper Midwest. After gaining her bachelors in the sciences, she moved to South Carolina, where she remained until recently moving back to Michigan because she missed the snow. When not at her desk, she's most likely to be found landscaping her new/old Victorian home, or scouring antique shops to fill it.

Rezensionen

"You'll love this bounty-hunter team. Ivy's a vampire with poor self-control, and Rachel's a witch with impulse issues. In fact, Rachel has a price on her own head. But Rachel has a chance for survival if she sticks with Ivy and their pixie sidekick, Jenks. Dead Witch Walking is a fun-fair ride through a fascinating version of our world." - Charlaine Harris, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Sookie Stackhouse novels

"I have to admit: I was absolutely floored by this book. Fascinating concept, great setup, believable setting, gripping characters, and a fast-paced plot that doesn't let up for a single page. ... For those who like urban fantasy, for fans of Hamilton, Butcher, Charlaine Harris's Sookie Stackhouse novels, and for those who like a good blend of magic and action, this is one book not to miss." - SF Site

"Dead Witch Walking is a wonderfully fun romp through the supernatural world, a spellbinding blend of sharp wit and vivid imagination that left me eagerly awaiting the sequel." - Kelley Armstrong, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Bitten

"Dead Witch Walking takes the reader on a real page-turner of a mystery filled with magical mayhem and Inderlander intrigue within a fascinating and unique story world. It isn't easy to write a protagonist that blends the best qualities of Anita Blake and Stephanie Plum, but Kim Harrison carries it off with style. This is a fun book! Read it!" - Jim Butcher, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Dresden Files

"Cross Stephanie Plum with Buffy Summers and you could end up with Rachel Morgan... Harrison's super-strong debut fantasy keeps readers guessing, and a satisfying conclusion leaves just enough dangling to make readers impatient for a follow-up. The gritty tone balances a light touch, creating truly funny moments as well as breathless suspense." (Four 1/2 stars, Gold medal) - Romantic Times BOOKclub

"Fast-paced and loads of fun-the perfect read whenyou just want to get away from things for a bit." - Fantasy & Science Fiction
