About The Hollows
A genetically engineered tomato virus wipes out a third of humanity in the 1960s, forcing vampires, witches, werewolves, and other Inderlanders out of hiding to help keep civilization running -- and reshaping Cincinnati around a supernatural underclass now living openly alongside humans. Rachel Morgan is a witch and bounty hunter who quits her job at a corrupt supernatural law-enforcement agency and goes independent, teaming up with a wisecracking vampire partner and a pixy family for backup as she takes on runs that routinely spiral into city-threatening trouble. Kim Harrison builds one of urban fantasy's most detailed alternate-history premises, then spends eighteen books letting Rachel's own power -- demon-touched magic she spends much of the series afraid of -- become as dangerous as anything she's hunting.
The series is known for a strong ensemble (vampire partner Ivy, pixy Jenks, and a rotating cast of witches, demons, and elves who become genuine found family) and for taking real risks with Rachel's arc, including a widely discussed choice partway through the series to change the nature of her magic entirely. It blends noir bounty-hunter plotting with heavy worldbuilding and a slow-burn central relationship, and unlike many long-running urban fantasy series it has an actual, deliberate structure -- the original 13-book arc has a clear endpoint before Harrison continued the world further. Readers who want dense alternate-history worldbuilding, a found-family ensemble, and a heroine whose power is genuinely a liability as often as an asset are the audience.
Frequently asked questions
How many books are in The Hollows series?
18 novels as of Demon's Bluff (2024): the original 13-book arc (Dead Witch Walking through The Witch With No Name), a continuation of 5 more starting with American Demon (2020), plus the prequel novel The Turn and the reference volume The Hollows Insider.
What order should I read The Hollows books in?
Publication order, starting with Dead Witch Walking. The Turn is a prequel and can be read first for chronology, but most readers save it for after the main series, since it's written with that reading order in mind.
Is The Hollows series finished?
The original 13-book arc has a definitive ending, but Kim Harrison has continued the world with further books through 2024's Demon's Bluff. No further title has been confirmed as of mid-2026.
Where does the series originally end, and where does it pick back up?
The Witch With No Name (2014) closed out the original 13-book arc. Harrison returned to the world six years later with American Demon (2020), continuing Rachel's story.
Do I need to read The Turn before starting the series?
No. It's a self-contained prequel about the outbreak that created Harrison's world, and works either as a first read or, more commonly, as a deep-lore bonus after the main series.
