Humans are mistrustful and for the most part ignorant, judgmental asses; the supernatural creatures are dangerous, but have to deal with legislation and typical bureaucracy. I suppose things will get clearer later on in the series, but I felt like there were a lot more questions I asked at the end of the book than there were answers.
It became a chart-topping hit and remains one of their most recognizable songs. The heartfelt lyrics and soulful melody make it a timeless classic. Another standout track from the album is "Still.

Kick Ass Chick – Rachel Morgan
Many people have told me about The Hollows by Kim Harrison and encouraged me to read it for a long time now. The latest installment, number thirteen in the series, was just released, so I decided it was time to start now at number one. The Hollows series features witches, Weres and vampires ,pixies, fairies, and demons. The non-humans are called Inderlands. I’m really keen for magic and witches so I expected to like this.
In spite of it being the first book in the series, I did enjoy Dead Witch Walking. There is always so much to figure out in the first book so I sometimes have trouble. The main character Rachel, is going through so much, it’s easy to get caught up in the story and worrying about her. Rachel is smart and caring. She puts herself out there to do what is right. She takes care of her friends, too. I like her.
There are many wonderful, engaging characters. There’s her vampire friend, Ivy and her pixy friend, Jenks. There’s also Trent. We don’t know what he is, nobody does. There’s a plain human named Nick too. They are all clearly written with all the dimensions. Even the briefest characters are well done.
There isn’t anything in the way of romance in this book. There’s some teasing between the friends and potential for romance with some sexy characters on the scene. I like stories which include some romance even if it is not the primary plot. I also enjoy some humor and Jenks can be funny.
As a fan of magic, I loved hearing about the spells. There were different ways they were made and used. The “battles” in the story were fun, with different magic and protections used. The different Interland groups have different skills and advantages. Mostly, I enjoyed Rachel’s intelligence in handling the unexpected which always happens. She was quick to read the situation and handle it.
The ending was a comfortable conclusion to the action and adventure in the story. There are many things left up in the air. What is Trent? What is Nick’s deal? Why did Ivy leave the I.S. really? Who did call the demons? Will Rachel and friends be working with FIB now? Will Rachel get into a romance?
These questions plus the fact Dead Witch Walking is a well-written, fun and fascinating story will keep me reading on into the series.

Reviews for "The Top 10 Midnight Magic Songs by the Commodores"
1. John - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with the "Commodores Midnight Magic Songs" album. I had heard so much hype about their music, but it just fell flat for me. The songs lacked depth and originality, and I found myself bored after just a few tracks. It's not that the music was necessarily bad, but it didn't live up to my expectations. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this album to others who are looking for something more captivating and unique.
2. Jane - 3 stars - I have mixed feelings about the "Commodores Midnight Magic Songs." While there were a couple of catchy tunes, I found the majority of the album to be forgettable. The lyrics lacked substance and didn't really connect with me on any level. The production also felt dated and didn't bring anything new to the table. I appreciate the Commodores' talent, but this particular album just didn't resonate with me personally.
3. Michael - 2.5 stars - I don't understand the hype surrounding "Commodores Midnight Magic Songs." The songs felt repetitive and lacked any real energy or excitement. It's the kind of album that I might play in the background during a dinner party, but it definitely wouldn't be something I actively listen to for my own enjoyment. There were a couple of tracks that stood out, but overall, it was a disappointing experience. I wouldn't recommend this album unless you're a die-hard Commodores fan and want to complete your collection.
