I just finished Pale Demon and I can’t decide if it’s my favorite book or if The Outlaw Demon Wails is still my favorite. You can ask my husband, I pushed my bed time late last night because I wanted to know what was going to happen. Those not familiar with the hollows series but enjoy urban fantasy with none of the sex scandals that gets caught up in other series, you really should take a stab at Kim Harrison’s books.

One of the difficult things about living in the middle of no where is the lack of diverse food choices when it comes to eating out. Both Joe and I love our ethnic food.
