I mentioned in my review of For a Few Demons More that Al was in trouble with the demons and wanted Rachel to help him out . . .
Yeah, guess how well that went over . . .
It didn't.
So Al's HELLA pissed (b/c he's a total blame shifter) and in demon jail, but only during the day, b/c he's arranged for someone to summon him to the real world as soon as the sun sets everyday.
But who? Hmmm?? Probably not who you're thinking . . .
Regardless of who is doing it, Al's getting out every night for the express purpose of terrorizing Rachel and her loved ones. He's a demon with nothing to lose, and a demon with nothing to lose is not a happy or fun demon.
So that's a problem.
But that's not all, b/c this is another installment with ALL THE THINGS happening, and it is as fantastic as For a Few Demons More.
We finally (finally, FINALLY) get some Ivy and Rachel resolution. FINALLY. Rachel finds out what really happened to her dad. Ceri has some BIG news, which prompts Trent to ask Rachel to go to the ever after with him (just like their fathers), and, oh yeah, Marshal (of scuba diving, Mackinaw fame) shows up on Rachel's doorstep, and so does a teenage gargoyle who likes to spit.<------Bis is an awesome addition to the gang.
A few more really Big Deals happen, but that's all I can give you without spoilers. Suffice it to say that The Outlaw Demon Wails is only the second in a long run of increasingly excellent books from The Hollows.

""Oh! The black-haired one, right? In the slut outfit? Good God, I don't know if my sewing machine can go through leather."
"Mom!" I protested. . . If it came into her head, it came out of her mouth. I glanced at the clerk with her, but she clearly knew my mother and wasn't fazed. Seeing a woman in tasteful slacks and an angora sweater swearing like a sailer tended to throw people off.
*snickers*"

"Minias sipped his drink with his elbows on the table and his mug propped up at mouth height. "This is much better this side of the lines," he said softly.
"Yeah," Jenks said. His espresso cup came up to his waist. "That burnt amber really sticks in your throat, doesn't it?"
Rachel's mom isn't the only one operating without a filter . . . LOL."

"Quen's smile faded. He appeared innocuous in his long-sleeved shirt and matching black pants, which looked vaguely like a uniform. Yeah, he was innocuous. Like black mamba innocuous...
I was trapped in a tiny metal box with an elf skilled in martial arts and black ley line magic. Maybe I should be nice. At least until the doors open.
Yeah . . . maybe . . ."

"Smirking, I glanced at Marshal. He was going to be there awhile, so when Trent came forward . . . I simply pushed off the carpet and back onto the boards.
"Morgan!" Trent exclaimed, and I spun to skate backward, giving him a cheeky bunny-eared kiss kiss. His brow creased, so I started dancing to the music . . .
By the time I had done a circuit . . . Trent was lacing up.
Trent. ROLLER SKATING. Bahahaha!!"

""How far can you spit?"
...Bis puffed up in pride. "If we've had a recent rain, I can hit a stop sign from a block away."
"Holy crap!" Jenk's wings lifted him, and he landed closer. "Think you can hit that creepy angel statue from the steeple?"
..."Faster than you can throw toad shit at a hummingbird poaching your nectar."
"No fairy-ass way!"
"Yes way."
Jenks and Bis. Friends for life ;)"

"Quen agreed to Trent's plan, then spent the next half hour trying to convince Trent to return with him to his compound and prepare. I figured Quen was trying to get him home where he could lock him in a box. Trent must have figured the same thing since he refused to leave...Hence the general weirdness of elves eating hot dogs in my backyard.

""I've got a brighter light," he offered. "You want to wait to use it until we hear back from...Jenks?"
My brow eased slightly, and I felt a little more charitable. "That is an excellent idea," I said, wishing he'd shine what light we did have around a little more. Especially upward. No one in the movies ever looks up until saliva starts dripping down.
GAH."

Thank you, Exina! ;)
Super review, Jessica!
Thank you!!
Thanks, Jessi!
Thanks, Lisa!
A long time ago, I tried to read this and couldn't. So I went back and tried to read the first one and I couldn't get into it either. Gah. I feel like I'm missing something. :/ I'll probably try again at some point. But, I have to say, the title of this book is just all sorts of awesome.
All of The Hollows book titles are repurposed John Wayne movie titles. And yeah . . . this series takes dedication. I don't think the series gets SERIOUSLY good until book 5. If it's the Ivy and Rachel nonsense that bugs you, it does eventually get resolved. I'm rereading these right now too, b/c the last book is coming out in September. BUT they're on pause for Kate right now ;)
How can I get a copy of this book? Can someone help please!
