Dirty Magic on Books On Track

Kim Harrison - Dirty Magic ~ ★★ (02/05/2021)

A story about Mia, the banshee who causes a mess in [b:White Witch, Black Curse|3475268|White Witch, Black Curse (The Hollows, #7)|Kim Harrison|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1442365029l/3475268._SY75_.jpg|3516587], that proves that she has indeed gone off her rocker...

There is a man who loves her knowing exactly what she is and what she is taking from him and

she tells him that she has a wish that if it works might mean that they can be together without him dying. He is eager to try it, and the two become intimate and he ends up dying, completely drained, at which point she reveals that she already used her wish with Remus, the psycho father of her daughter... She stores up all of his dying aura, not using up any for herself, but that means nothing in the end

.

Simply unforgivable...

I love Marjorie M. Liu's story. Every time I read one of her short stories I am taken with her style; beautiful prose, emotionally gritty, and original. In her story, Minotaur In Stone, she does a great job of using the Minotaur and labyrinth myth into a stereotypical paranormal-romance story. She doesn't do anything especially out of the box, but her style makes it seem like the first time you had read something with the dream-lover premise.

This review is only for "Dirty Magic" by [a:Kim Harrison|17054|Kim Harrison|http://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1309989149p2/17054.jpg]. I will admit I did not see that ending coming. I entertained it for a little while, but in the course of thirty short pages, [a:Kim Harrison|17054|Kim Harrison|http://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1309989149p2/17054.jpg] had me snowed. It shouldn't be possible to tell as complete a story as it is in so few pages, but she does it amazingly well. It was very interesting to see life through a banshee's eyes; especially one we've met before in The Hollows series.

To begin with, I'd like to say that I absolutely love some of the authors in this anthology...which is why it totally blows my mind as to why these stories were so completely awful.

If you must read this to get your fix from a favorite author, please check it out from the library. Don't waste $8.50 like I did.

If you're only looking for sex this is just for you. If you want a plot or character development find something else. I forced myself to read 3/4 but couldn't finish it.
