Rachel Morgan is legally dead and wearing charmed silver to keep the demons thinking just that. But being dead has its drawbacks in the real world, and in order to get her life back, she agrees to take on a case involving demon magic. Through the investigation and her ties with her friends, she comes to realize that she must accept who she is and use it--or risk her life and the lives of everyone around her. 
 I really enjoyed this installment of the Hollows series, but I don't have a lot to say about it. Rachel seems to be finally growing up, taking responsibility for her power and accepting the fact that she's a daywalking demon, not a witch who can do demon curses. I appreciate the character development we see in all of the major characters, from Trent Kalamack--who's not quite as gross as he was in the beginning of the series--to Ivy and Jenks and Rachel herself. 
 Of course just as Rachel comes to terms with her own abilities and nature, lots of badness pops up, like the human-supremacist group hell-bent on destroying all Inderlanders, or the new behind-the-scenes law enforcement group, or Al's sneaky determination to charm Ceri's kids and groom them for--something--for when they grow up. 
 But Rachel's newly-accepted power means that there's less of a sense of "oh crap how's she going to get out of this" and more an eagerness to see how her life is going to be different and how she's going to balance her power with her morality. 
 While A Perfect Blood wasn't the most gripping or fast-paced of the Hollows novels, it covered a lot of necessary ground, especially after Pale Demon.
