Blurb: Enter the woods . . . if you dare       Into the Woods

For centuries, the woods have been a pivotal part of the wonder and danger of fairy tales, for once you enter anything can happen. Elves, druids, fairies—who knows what you will find once you dare step into the forest?

And now, New York Times bestselling author Kim Harrison ventures into these mysterious, hidden lands of magic and mystery in her first short-story collection. Into the Woods brings together an enchanting mix of brand-new, never-before-published stories and tales from Harrison's beloved, bestselling Hollows series.

The tales here include an original Hollows novella, Million-Dollar Baby, about Trent Kalamack's secret elven quest in Pale Demon; two original short stories, "Pet Shop Boys" and "Temson Woods," that explore just what happens when humanity and the supernatural collide; and two novelettes, "Spider Silk" and "Grace," set in new worlds of imagination and adventure. Into the Woods also contains all of the previously published Hollows short stories—together in one volume for the very first time. Step into the woods and discover the magic for yourself.

LT'S REVIEW: This book goes over most of the important parts of all the past books and short stories you may have missed and some new ones. We meet new characters and you get more details about some of the characters that weren’t explained fully, like Al and Ceri’s relationship before he took her into the hereafter, also Trent’s mission to save his daughter. There are also new things to read about that have nothing to do with The Hollows. For example a short story of only a few chapters long about a guy who inherits a forest and wants to cut down the tress until he learns they are mystical. The story is so rushed you don’t really get to know any of the characters. Another short is about a woman who can throw electricity, to me that was Kim digging deeper in the power that Rachel used to have, but does not have any longer, with a whole different person and world. 

My only issue is .. I should have taken the time to see that this wasn’t the next installment in Rachel’s life. This was like studying for a test..lol
