99. Every Which Way But Dead

Rating: 4

Rachel Morgan made a deal with a demon and now she has to pay up. Lucky for her though, she gets to keep her soul and that means she gets to keep her free will. Ivy is more sad vampire queen than ever, Jenks is annoyed, and Kisten might not be the insufferable bad boy he at first seemed. So, all in all, just another typical day at Vampiric Charms.

I really enjoyed Every Witch Way But Dead. Rachel's relationship with the rest of the characters saw a great deal of work and was convincingly pulled off. The plot moved along at a good clip but there was so much going on that it was easy to forget about events that were set up about 200 pages earlier which caused a great deal of flipping back to find where it was mentioned earlier. Still. I simply couldn't put it down.
