Trouble with the Cursed
by Kim Harrison
Book 16 in The Hollows
This is another late-Hollows keep for readers who are here for Rachel managing power, politics, and the impossible social math of vampires, demons, and elves. The romance is already a lived-in relationship, so the tension comes from whether the life around it can hold.
