Overview
Rachel Morgan's back! Bestselling author Kim Harrison returns with a new supernatural adventure that fans of Laurell K. Hamilton and Charlaine Harris won't want to miss.
Some days, you just can't win. Witch and former bounty hunter Rachel Morgan's managed to escape her corrupt company, survive living with a vampire, start her own runner service, and face down a vampire master.
But her vampire roommate Ivy is off the wagon, her human boyfriend Nick is out of town indefinitely and doesn't sound like he's coming back while the far-too-seductive vampire Kisten is looking way too tempting, and there's a turf war erupting in Cincinnati's underworld.
And there's a greater evil still. To put the vampire master behind bars and save her family, Rachel made a desperate bargain and now there's hell to pay—literally. For if Rachel cannot stop him, the archdemon Algaliarept will pull her into the sorcerous ever-after to forfeit her soul as his slave. Forever.

Publishers Weekly
Even those who aren't born-and-bled fans of the horror genre should enjoy Harrison's third Rachel Morgan adventure, especially if they like lots of hot sex spiced with humor. Marguerite Gavin, who performed strongly in the earlier audio versions of Harrison's bestsellers, is the ideal choice to keep the pot bubbling: she merrily mixes charming urbanity with knowing wisdom about how real people behave. Rachel, of course, is still the toughest witch and bounty hunter in Cincinnati, Ohio-and as usual is up to her very short leather skirt in trouble. She's been abandoned by her lover, treated badly by a business partner (never trust a pixie!), and an old debt is about to be called in by an extremely irate and powerful demon known as Big Al. Add to this some frightening truths about the real powers behind the city's politicians and what really killed Rachel's father, and you've got a cross between The Sopranosand Draculawith lots of Sex in the Cityon the side.

From Barnes & Noble
The Barnes & Noble ReviewIn Every Which Way but Dead, the third -- and steamiest -- Rachel Morgan novel (Dead Witch Walking and The Good, the Bad, and the Undead) by Kim Harrison, the soul of everyone's favorite leather-loving earth witch is put in serious jeopardy when she tangles with a highly irate demon. Rachel's life is coming apart at the seams. Her boyfriend, Nick, has left her. One of her two business partners, a pixie named Jenks, has suddenly quit. And to make matters significantly worse, a powerful demon nicknamed Big Al is back to collect on an old debt. As Rachel tries to keep herself from being bodily dragged into the hereafter, her newest job puts her in league with Trent Kalamack, a ruthless councilman and unscrupulous businessman who has, until very recently, been her main nemesis. But as Rachel struggles to stay alive, she finally uncovers the jaw-dropping truth behind her father's death and unravels Kalamack's mysterious -- and equally mind-boggling -- agenda. She also finds love in the unlikeliest of places…. Blending horror, fantasy, and romance to create a genre-transcending story with widespread appeal, Harrison's Rachel Morgan novels are analogous to Laurell K. Hamilton's bestselling Anita Blake sequence, as well as Charlaine Harris's Southern Vampire series and Christine Feehan's Dark novels. Featuring an endearing cast of central characters, nonstop action, and Harrison's wicked sense of humor, this saga is -- as the tongue-in-cheek titles imply -- pure, unadulterated fun.
