The Outlaw Demon Wails
Kim Harrison
Reviewed by Terry Spear
I’ve been wanting to read this forever, but other writing obligations forced me to put it on a back burner. So thankfully, I was finally able to finish it over the last couple of days. I’ve never read any of Kim Harrison’s works, so this was all new to me and I was looking forward to enjoying a good paranormal book.
Her character development, the world she builds, the ever after, and all the conflict she’s set up throughout the story were nice and unique. If it’s not one dilemma, it’s another, which kept me reading until the end. I kept expecting Rachel to do one thing, and was surprised when she’d do another, maybe because I hadn’t read any of the other books and so this was the first time to get to know her character, but it kept me guessing and I liked the twists and turns it made.
I’ve read other demon/romance books, so enjoyed this different take on the whole setup. The characters were well developed and intriguing. There were a lot of issues going on which made the story and characters more complex.
The beginning opened with a demon attack in a store and the story ended on an intriguing note. I kept wondering how she was going to get out of the bind she was in, and loved the way she managed it, using brains rather than magic or muscle.
A thoroughly enjoyable read for paranormal and urban fantasy fans who like their stories on the dark side.

“The vulpine couple's chemistry crackles off the page, but the real strength of the book lies in Spear's depiction of pack power dynamics, as well as in the details of human-wolf interaction.
