fembuckI just read Dead Witch Walking, the first book in the The Hollows/Rachel Morgan series and I absolutely loved it!
Fast-paced, interesting, funny, and OH SO GAY.
IVY TAMWOOD (who totally looks like Katie McGrath in my dreams) IS SO TOTALLY MY NEW VAMPIRE GIRLFRIEND! OMG I love Ivy like 'whoa'. She is dreamy. And she is so totally p-whipped already. My god, she would totally curl up in a vampire ball at Rachel feet and lick her toes if Rachelwould stop frontin' would let her. The epicness of Ivy's love for her almost breaks my brain.
Rachel! You iz so stoopid. Hawt vampire wants to have your babies. STOP FRONTIN! You know you want it Rachel, give in. It's okay to feel that way about your vampire!roomate, nobody will think less of you. Ivy's a catch. Let your love speak it's name.
*sigh*
Y so can't see what's standing right beside you, Rachel? I mean, Ivy made drinking orange juice romantic! Orange juice and MAPS! MAPS for the love of god! How is it possible to make maps, sexy? I don't know, but Ivy does it! Clearly that is not a woman you want to let get away.
I feel like I should add something about the plot and the characters and the world Kim Harrison created because they are wonderful and fantastic, but I've got a one track brain right now and I'm completely incapable of doing anything but drooling over Ivy Tamwood and the gay that is she and Rachel.
Anyway, I'm totes getting the next book tomorrow and am excited for reading the rest of the series.
Thanks for the rec f-list. I know it took me a while to get around to actually reading it, but you were right and I blow internet kisses to you all!
*goes to enjoy last 48 hour of freedom*

Date: 2009-01-04 04:49 am (UTC)Very much so. I find myself looking forward to finding out more about how all of the creatures operate, and what over mysterious things there are out there.
won't say more so i don't accidently spoil it for you.
I've spoiled myself a little bit I think (damn you fanfic!) but only a little. I'm looking forward to filling in the rest soon :D
Febuary 24th
*woot* another book to read! I love not having to wait :D

Date: 2009-01-04 05:18 am (UTC)Avoid Twilight, read Dead Witch Walking. Twilight is abysmal, Dead With Walking is actually a good story with interesting characters, humor, proper sentences, and far more gay than Twilight.

Date: 2009-01-04 12:43 am (UTC)For all of you who wonder, take the leap! this series is fantastic and is only second to the works of Anne Rice (mostly first in my head cuz of all the lady ghey) I read the first five in a week during my vacation, they are a quick read and OH SO GOOD...
so i wonder, after you read them all, what kind of femslashy goodness will you be bringing us Ms. Buck??!?? (i might be projecting a little here, wait no, i am totally projecting :-))
no subject
Date: 2009-01-04 06:47 am (UTC)This. The lady ghey is so delicious.
what kind of femslashy goodness will you be bringing us Ms. Buck??!??
I'll be posting one really soon. I can't resist Teh Tamwood, I can't. It's impossible. I don't even want to try.

Date: 2009-01-04 12:56 am (UTC)Seems like Kim Harrison's not quite sure where to go with Rachel/Ivy. As a result, Ivy's role has decreased rather than increased and she hasn't really developed as a character.
We need fic to fix this :D.
no subject
Date: 2009-01-04 06:51 am (UTC)*SOBS* I know Rachel has other love interests throughout the series, but I was really hoping that Ivy was genuinely being set up as the final one. You know, the one who as been in there for the long haul. *SOBS* Come on Kim Harrison, you can't set this up (with the kiss and blood balance thing - which I spoiled myself for through fic) and then have it go nowhere.
As a result, Ivy's role has decreased rather than increased and she hasn't really developed as a character.
WHAT? *huge racking sobs* OMG, Ivy is my favorite. I know it's Rachel's series, but I hoped to have at least as much Ivy in the other books as there was in the first (if not more). *SOBS*
We need fic to fix this :D.
This. Now, I'm totally wishing an HBO series would be made for this series ala True Blood

Date: 2009-01-04 02:04 am (UTC)I personally liked book 4 the most.
It has been my dream that you would write some Ivy/Rachel q_q ...i'm not going to say anything more in order not to jinx it.
no subject
Date: 2009-01-04 06:53 am (UTC)Yeah, I know I had it for a while and it was just sitting on my bookshelf, and then for some reason I was just like "I'm gonna read this". And then I couldn't put it down!
It has been my dream that you would write some Ivy/Rachel
This is a dream that will definitely come true :D I'm well on my way to obsession. The first one will probably be a bit rough because I'm still trying to grasp the characters, but my appetite has definitely been wetted.
no subject
Date: 2009-01-04 10:34 am (UTC)Yay! *does dancing banana happy dance* Yeah, the more books one reads, the deeper and more awesome Rachel/Ivy becomes IMHO (at least until book 4). It's equal parts frustrating and awesome.

Date: 2009-01-04 06:06 am (UTC)And oh, gawd. Wait until you get to the fifth or so. I literally did the squee-out-loud-scare-people-in-the-next-room yelp. *somehow keeps self from spoiling*
Though I haven't read the latest one, I plan on getting it and the next one at the same time. ^^ And holihell, I am SO making an Ivy icon with that pic. Drool!!!
no subject
Date: 2009-01-04 06:56 am (UTC)I'm loving all The Hollows fans on the f-list! Holla! I'll totally be writing fic for the series. The first book has already inspired one, and I'm sure as I read more I'll want to write more.
And oh, gawd. Wait until you get to the fifth or so. I literally did the squee-out-loud-scare-people-in-the-next-room yelp. *somehow keeps self from spoiling*
Feel free to go ahead and spoil. I read some fanfic for the series and I think it's spoiled some plot points for the later books. If the spoilerage is Rachel/Ivy related then lay it on me. I need to know that there continues to be ghey between them. It will motivate me to read more of the books!

Date: 2009-01-04 08:53 am (UTC)Then it gets to the whole "Rachel wants to share blood, Ivy says no 'cause she can't do just blood" bit. Rachel tries to push the sharing thing, and they end up with their first semi-kiss. Ivy swears she'll never touch Rachel again unless she starts it, but if she does, it'll be no-holds-barred everything. (Yes, this part will massively inspire fic-age.) OH! And Rachel admits to Skimmer in the beginning of For A Few Demons More that she does really love and is "in love" with Ivy, just not sexually.
*blink* I think that's everything I know. xDD Sorry if it rambles a bit, I'm a bit tired. And now I wanna go read more hot Ivy/Rachel before bed. Later! ^^

Date: 2009-01-04 07:07 pm (UTC)Kisten was a good effort but oh, still so lacking when compared to Ivy. I do not think it's realistically possible to pair Rachel with anyone else than Ivy anymore if the series will end in book 12 or 13.
Marshal? No. Trent? Noooo. Al? Hell no.
Still; one should never underestimate the power of large young heterosexual female reader base. If there weren't a lot of people who go 'ew' at the thought of two women in love, I think Kim would've already coupled Ivy and Rachel IMO.

Date: 2009-01-04 12:02 pm (UTC)who opened the door for Kim to succeedwhos sex scenes are so effin hot you don't care if it's the most prettiest(looks like a woman damn near), bi, male vampire on the planet who has boy love on the side. Or her fairy (Merry Gentry) series with the most gorgeous beings alive in it. The Queen of Air and Darkness is particularly interesting. There's a throw to lesbians in both series. :DI've got to get in on this!

Date: 2009-01-05 09:47 pm (UTC)i think Rachel is just scared of being out of control - she even said something like that.
somehow i got impesion that she doesn't object simply blood ir simply sex -just not together. but maybe i'm just imagining things

Date: 2009-01-25 06:20 pm (UTC)And as you write just amazing fanfiction (Hermansy<3 And I'm reading The Edge at the moment), I'm already happy to know where I can find some good fics about the series! (:
