 "My name is Rachel Mariana Morgan. Conjure by it at your own risk. When demons get deadly, when vamps get vicious, when pixies get pesky, when the Ever-after gets eerie, give me a call. I'm in the book." 
 No, Rachel doesn't say this. But she so totally should.(view spoiler)[When someone actually did summon her, I started laughing--and this was why. (hide spoiler)] 
 Kim Harrison's series is one of the most well-known and well-regarded urban fantasy/paranormal romance series out there, and I can completely understand why. Her principal character, Rachel, is engaging, her world is full of creativity and sly humour, and there is a large and entertaining cast of characters. My favorite aspect is the premise of the world itself: at some point in the 60s, a genetic experiment with tomatoes went horribly awry and got most of the human population killed. The paranormal creatures decided that with over half the humans dead and the remainder shocked and weakened, this would be an opportune moment to come out of the closet. Apparently, this worked out fine (which I personally find rather surprising), and now the humans and supernatural creatures live in harmony in their post-tomato-apocalypse world. 
 Unfortunately, this book isn't for me. **My rating has nothing to do with the book's quality and everything to do with my personal enjoyment.**
