So you were all right ...

I 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 Rachel would 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*

I'm sure at some point I'll jump on the Hollows bandwagon. I'm just here to thank you for using any and every excuse in the book to post more Katie McGrath picspam!

I have been looking for a good (!) vampire / scifi book for quite some time now, and I do not want to read the Twilight books (my brother likes them and he has no taste in lit at all)... should I give it a try?

at least you have two days left, I am leaving tomorrow and on Monday I have to be back to the slave house

I'M SO HAPPY YOU'VE FINALLY VENTURED INTO THE HOLLOWS! squeeeeeeee :-)

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 :-))

The series' a lot of fun to read, but Ivy-wise, the first book was the best imo.
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.

I'm completely addicted to this, and am very glad that you finally read the first book and liked it.
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.

*laughs* Yay!!! I totally agree with the "Fembuck should write Hollows fic" crowd, I've been hoping forever. xD

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!!!

OMG! *has mini orgasm* you're writing Rachel/Ivy fic! i love you! i'm on the 5th book already. i'm so crazy about them i've sent the first 5 books to my friend in Perth lol. and recommended to anybody in hearing. *runs off to read Hollows fic*

I've been told to read Kim but I haven't yet. I have one of her books, dunno which one. But! If you like Kim then you'll Love Laurell K Hamilton's Anita Blake series who opened the door for Kim to succeed whos 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. :D

I've got to get in on this!

This sounds like the perfect read for my long-ass flight to England!!! Woohoo for book finds!

[wishing-wounds.livejournal.com]

I love those books to death.

There's actually a pic of me and my friends with Kim Harrison on her first tour somewhere on her website. :D

I keep reading this series in hopes they will hook up.
:D

heh

I felt the same way when I finally let myself touch the first book a couple months ago. Later, I was glad that I waited since it meant that I didn't have to wait so long for each subsequent book. Though... now I find myself waiting anyway. *sighs*

You don't know me, but I just wanted to say, "Welcome to the fold."

welcom to the club =))

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

Hey, you caught my curiousity! I want to go to the nearest bookstore as soon as I can and order the first book for me. (Yeah, as I live in Finland all English books are not available just everywhere so I think I have to wait for some time to get it...)

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! (:
