“Black Magic Sanction”

Am I the first to review this long awaited book?
Well, “Black Magic Sanction” the 8th book of Rachel Morgan series by Kim Harrison had a great story as always but was so short! I was just getting the hang of this new improved cool Rachel when the book ended.
The most important aspect of this story is Rachel’s acceptance of her demon-kin status. She doesn’t hyperventilate anymore at the mention of black curses and uses a few herself. She is comfortable visiting the Ever-after and has a good working relationship with Big Al. The book’s plot and action was breathtaking. Rachel has dealt with and survived all the major races, vampires, werewolves, demons,… but she never had been at the opposite end of a witch’s spells. However, now; with her shunning and black-witch status she has attracted the attention of witches’ council of moral standards and they are not very moral in their wants and dealings. That slimy bastard Nick is appearing and disappearing. Trent also is pressuring her.
I am going to re-read the whole series in a little while and think about all the changes Rachel has gone through.
Eight books into the series and this series is getting better and better. Can I say it one more time? Kim Harrison is a genius!
