Monday Madness - The Hollows by, Kim Harrison


What to say about this series. The first book was alright but I didn't love it. Rachel made some bad decisions such as moving in with a semi unstable vampire and sneaking into Trent's place on three occasions without having a plan. She didn't listen to anyone despite the situations that she got into.

Book 2 was more of the same. I think in that book she was even more annoying, didn't think things through, and didn't listen to what anyone said. It's as if everything just went in one ear and out the other. It was clear that it was becoming more and more dangerous to live with Ivy. Obviously she didn't have the whole not drinking blood thing under control. In addition it was clear that Ivy was in love with Rachel.

Book 3 turned out to be far better than book 1 and 2. Rachel listened to people and she established a really good relationship with Kist. I was so happy. Finally Rachel had grown up a bit and was thinking about others. I thought, "wow she's becoming mature." I felt like she acted like a 16 year old most of the time.

Unfortunately I read book 4 and Rachel was back to her annoying self. So disappointing. I had heard good and bad about this series. Honestly, the only reason I will continue with this series is because I have the audiobooks of it. I need something to do since I'm usually multitasking and I get bored with things easily. When I'm doing two things at once, I can work for hours.

This is definitely not my favorite series. Since I've read 4 books, I feel compelled to continue so that I know what happens. I can't stand leaving books or series unfinished.
