This Witch for Hire (Rachel Morgan Series #1 and #2)

Synopsis

Contains book #1 - Dead Witch Walking and book #2 The Good, the Bad, and the Undead. Bounty hunter and witch Rachel Morgan calls the Hollows, the menacing, magical section of Cincinnati, her home-as do all the supernatural beings spawned from the Angel virus, the great plague that killed much of humanity. With her line of work, even the shadows steer clear of her. Yet even a down-and-out witch can find a friend or two. In Rachel's case, long, cool Ivy Tamwood, a non-practicing vampire, and Jenks, a testy if astute pixie whose favorite hang-out is one of Rachel's earrings. In Dead Witch Walking, Rachel wants to quit the Federal Inderlander Service and tries to get out of her contract by bending the rules for a captured leprechaun, who grants her three wishes. But her plan backfires when her boss casts a deadly spell on her, effectively rendering her homeless, friendless and, of course, jobless in an instant-until Ivy comes through, letting her share her digs in a deconsecrated Hollows church. Rachel soon catches wind of illegal trafficking of the street drug Brimstone, which can be linked to wealthy businessman Trent Kalamack. Hoping to offer the I.S. a huge prize to buy out her contract-and cancel the hit still out on her-Rachel tracks and glamours her way into Kalamack's good graces. But it isn't until the trail leads her to something even worse than Brimstone that Rachel realizes how big a powder keg she's sitting on The Good, The Bad and the Undead finds Rachel struggling to make ends meet after setting up her own PI firm with Ivy and Jenks-and still getting into hot water. She may have survived werewolf attacks and changeling demons, but now someone's killing witches left and right, and the Federal Inderland Service wants her to track down the killer. That should be more than enough to fill a witch's days.. .and then Ivy's mentor, the master vampire Piscary, begins to notice her. Suspicious that Piscary knows more about the killings than he admits, Rachel heads for a confrontation that could end her career-permanently.
