Undead in the garden of good and evil
Kim Harrison is the author of a great series about The Hollows, a part of Cincinnati that is home to vampires, witches, pixies and various other races. The main character is a witch and a runner, similar to a bounty hunter, named Rachel Morgan. Her partner is Ivy Tamwood, a living vampire. Ivy won't become a full undead vampire until she dies.
Undead in the garden of good and evil is a novella, sort of a prequel to the series, about how Ivy became Rachel's partner. It is in an anthology called Dates from Hell that also includes stories by Lynsay Sands, Kelley Armstrong, and Lori Handeland.
Harrison has created a world so complete you will believe it exists and she is revealing more and more in each book.
She is going to be signing her new book, A Fistful of Charms, near me on July 17th. This is another author who's books never sit around my house for any length of time once they are published. I've been saving two of the stories in this anthology, Harrison's and Armstrong's, for when I needed a guaranteed read. A road trip over the past weekend was just what I had been waiting for. Also, I wanted to get Harrison's read before I got her new book. I'll have much more to say after I have read that one.
