Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Hollows is an Urban Fantasy series by Kim Harrison detailing the professional and personal adventures of Rachel Morgan, bounty hunter and witch, along with her partners: living vampire Ivy Tamwood, and Jenks, a pixie.The books are set in an alternate universe where The Space Race was a biotechnology race instead, and various supernatural beings known collectively as "Inderlanders" have lived alongside mundane humans since ancient times, but kept their identities secret from the masses. In the 1960s, a virus called the T4 Angel was accidentally released, attached itself to a genetically modified tomato, was transported worldwide, and wiped out a quarter of the human population in an event known as "The Turn". Since the Inderlanders were mostly unaffected by the virus and found their combined numbers were now close to that of humanity's, they decided to reveal themselves to the world, a move that further changed the already altered post-pandemic society.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Works in the series include:Novels: Dead Witch Walking The Good, The Bad, And The Undead Every Which Way But Dead A Fistful of Charms For a Few Demons More The Outlaw Demon Wails White Witch, Black Curse Black Magic Sanction Pale Demon A Perfect Blood Ever After The Undead Pool The Witch With No Name American Demon Million Dollar Demon The Turn: The Hollows Begins With Death (published in 2017, a prequel to the series)Short stories: "Undead in the Garden of Good and Evil" "Two Ghosts for Sister Rachel" "Dirty Magic" "The Bridges of Eden Park" "The Bespelled" "Ley Line Drifter" "Million Dollar Baby" "Trouble on Reserve" "Sudden Backtrack"Graphic novels: Blood Work Blood CrimeWarning: Due to the author's extensive use of The Reveal in the series spoilers abound.

Our Elves Are Different: shown in multiple ways. They choose to pass as human, up to the point that they dock their own pointy ears and alter their sleep schedules to fit in. Until Trent and later the rest of the elves choose to "come out of the closet," as Trent puts it.

Relationship Upgrade

comment
Additionally, at the very end of the epilogue, Rachel and Trent become engaged, essentially giving them a second, more official Relationship Upgrade given that ruling elves cannot marry infertile women and maintain power. This is overcome after Trent and Al manage to find a way to for elves and demons to have viable, healthy children, albeit Non-Human Humanoid Hybrid ones, together.

Magic Kiss
 The Hollows / int_17003b46
comment
Magic Kiss: In Pale Demon between Rachel and Trent, which he explains is a version of an old "Wake the Princess" spell, used in this instance to place Rachel's soul back into her body. Trent further explains that the kiss only happens in her subconscious, which turns out to be not entirely true and results in a Kiss-Kiss-Slap when Rachel wakes up in a hospital room in front of Ivy and Jenks, still kissing Trent, and promptly smacks him for lying to her.

Magic Wand: Played straight by various witches. Surprisingly, Rachel doesn't use one. She would if she could afford it. In The Outlaw Demon Wails it is mentioned that wands are one-spell wonders making using wands an expensive practice for someone like Rachel who values versatility.

All There in the Manual: Several characters and plot threads that appeared for the first time in White Witch, Black Curse were originally drawn from several short stories written by the author for another series. The author's website also has two essays supposedly written by Rachel herself detailing some supernatural races for the FIB, David pack's tattoo and the recipe for Trent's waffles among other things here. The website also offers a monthly newsletter called the Hollow Gazette that includes articles written from the perspective of reporters in Hollows. These give additional details about the setting and certain events in the novel.

Artistic License – Biology: Rachel is turned into a mink, which is repeatedly described as a rodent and being fed carrots and so on. Minks are carnivorous mustelids (members of the weasel family). Retconned/lampshaded in Black Magic Sanction, as an in-universe error on Trent's part.

The Virus
 The Hollows / int_1c7555f1
comment
The Virus: The vampire virus is a rather multifaceted version. Non-vampires bitten have their DNA rewired to become addicted to the "rush" of a bite and highly vulnerable to vampire Mind Control pheromones. A vampire can also bind a non-vampire to their will with a bite to become their Renfield or make them a more free-willed version known as a scion. Humans but not other races infected with enough of the virus become low-blood vampire or "ghouls". The worst aspect of the virus is that when a living vampire dies, the virus will cause them to rise as a soulless undead version of themselves. Kisten may have avoided this fate. Word of God hasn't decided yet. Another virus appears in the form of a demonic focus that can transform a human into a werewolf. David accidentally transforms a number of his girlfriends this way.

Chekhov's Gun
 The Hollows / int_22cf536c
comment
Chekhov's Gun: Subverted completely in "Two Ghosts for Sister Rachel". Pierce demonstrates some very cool magical amulets to Rachel but they are never used or referred to again- even when they would have been very useful in confronting the story's Big Bad. A long version of this is Ivy's wish. Introduced in the first book it doesn't become relevant for another seven years. The results? Not so good.

Shoot the Dog
 The Hollows / int_2737c505
comment
Shoot the Dog: Rachel tricks Al into taking Lee as a familiar instead of her, dooming him instead of her to a Fate Worse than Death. Later in order to fake the death of Nick Rachel agrees to a plan to kill a willing terminally ill living vampire disguised as Nick despite it violating her Technical Pacifist stance. Double angst points in that Nick intentionally blows the operation and then immediately fakes his own death again in an attempt to double cross everyone making it a Senseless Sacrifice. In The Turn Trisk has managed to win over the enclave into revealing the Inderlanders to humanity so they can save them. However, she's a woman in the 60's, not to mention an elf; she knows she has no career anymore to speak of because of the virus, and to top it off, the elf who ruined her impregnated her during their one night stand, which means they have to get married, and she will basically be subordinate to him.

And then there is A Perfect Blood: For about half of the book Rachel cuts off her access to ley lines with a charmed silver bracelet courtesy of Trent. She goes through a lot of anguish trying to decide what the best course of action is: take it off and be hunted and persecuted by the general populace, or leave it on and be magically castrated for life. Eventually, she realizes that she is a demon, and she can't change that, so she removes it.

The Renfield: Shadows are people bound to vampires by their bite. Vampires can also create a similar bond to create a "scion" which still binds a person but leaves them much more free will. Scions can also draw on some of the energy of the vampire they are bonded to. Conversely the vampire can freely Mind Rape the scion, so it is not always an ideal relationship.

Dropped a Bridge on Him: Minias. Word of God say that he was likely abruptly killed by Newt between two of the books. Also, Nick. Mentioned as being likely due to Newt locking him up and basically forgetting about him. Very likely he starved to death.

Suddenly Always Knew That: Jenks tends to reveal "traditional pixy skills" as the plot requires. To date these include but are not limited to being a computer hacker, knowing how to disable security systems and creating explosives from pixy dust and common household chemicals. How a short lived generally-illiterate species managed to acquire such technically advanced skills is never addressed. Considering that Jax learned to read or at least learned his ABCs in under a week by watching Sesame Street, we're probably supposed to assume that pixies are really fast learners.

Our Demons Are Different
 The Hollows / int_50ed1af4
comment
Our Demons Are Different: made all the more interesting in that new demons can be created by genetically modifying witches to cure them of the Rosewood syndrome, which is normally fatal since it causes the witch to produce demon enzymes. This proves to be extremely important over the course of the series. It is revealed later in the series that demons can also use elven wild magic although they never do. Newt and later Rachel are the only exceptions.

Motive Decay

Motive Decay: Trent. Though he claims that the motivations for his crimes is to finance his illegal genetic experiments and to save the elven race he often commits entirely unnecessary crimes such as breaking the will of and murdering subordinates, keeping Rachel trapped in the form of a mink and entering her into illegal rat fights, murdering several innocent werewolves to try to get the demon focus and various other acts unrelated to that goal. Arguably that would give him a lot more political power, however. In Black Magic Sanction Nick also suffers this with his changing sides several times for no obvious reason or profit. Nick is a thief. His motivation for things is as much for adrenaline and lulz as it would be for profit.

Later in Black Magic Sanction it is shown white magic can be as strong as black magic, but requires greater skill to do so. Rachel isn't much for studying though and thus chooses to use black and demon magic as a short cut when she needs power. This is beginning to have some rather negative long term implications.

Fantastic Racism
 The Hollows / int_57b80b45
comment
Fantastic Racism: The greatest racists are the Inderlanders themselves. Vampires hate werewolves and vice versa but there are other mutual racial hatreds: fairies and pixies, elves and demons, banshees and everyone else. Ironically while humans are understandably wary of the prenatural abilities of the Inderlanders there has been little actual overt racism on their part. Until you get to A Perfect Blood, when it's revealed that the racist humans are extremely nasty and shown to dance merrily across the Moral Event Horizon line when they start mutilating innocent Inderlanders to create demons. Rachel and Trent both face significant discrimination due to being a demon and an elf, respectively. This occurs later in the series when both of their species are made public, to some extent against their will.

Devil, but No God: Consecrated ground and the effect crucifixes have on vampires are created by magic rather than the effect of divine influence. Demons on the other hand are very much real and very evil. Played with as demons are just another race of supernatural beings who live an alternate dimension.

Incompatible Orientation: Ivy is bisexual whereas Rachel is straight. Rachel herself in the earlier books constantly mentions "not being wired that way" in terms of sexual orientation and as a means that she and Ivy can't be together. Though with Rachel's vamp scars, any vamp regardless of gender can play upon them, inducing orgasmic feelings without physical sexual stimulation. This does muddy the waters a bit in regards to Rachel and Ivy's relationship and how far it could go, but it would work better if Ivy were able to separate blood and sex.

Kids Are Cruel: Some of Trent's initial issues with Rachel stemmed from their interactions at camp, specifically the fact that Trent spent a lot of time teasing Rachel's friend, who he had a crush on, and Rachel's subsequent retaliation. Their game of stealing things from each other becomes important years later in Black Magic Sanction. Lee's bullying of Trent at the camp edges into Teens Are Monsters.

comment
Nick could count as well, considering he's clever enough to avoid Trent and Rachel, after trying to steal Trent's priceless elf porn statue, conspiring against both of them, and disappearing from a cell in Trent's grounds, possibly all For the Lulz. Not to mention the faking his own death as an escape and then giving Rachel the focus. Almost everyone that tap dances over the line ends up this. Trent's father, also named Trent, kicks off the Turn by twisting a virus and the Angel tomato together, simply to ruin another elf's work. He doesn't end up dead, or even ruined; instead, he's on the way to becoming rich by creating Brimstone, he's managed to impregnate his rival and thus save his bloodline, and he has Piscary willing to fund a secret genetics lab. Trent himself, despite taking after his father in some ways, ends up married to Rachel at the end. Al, despite, well, everything he's done, ends up free on the other other side of the lines, and a big shot in Hollywood. The only ones to really pay for anything are Piscary, Lee, and Nick.

The Reveal
 The Hollows / int_6b2b3b59
comment
The Reveal: Usually at least one major one and several minor ones a book. These have included but are not limited to Ivy setting up the church as a trap for Rachel under Piscary's orders, Piscary revealed to have molested Ivy for most of her life, Rachel received illegal genetic treatment for a fatal disorder as a child, Keasley being the legendary long-thought-dead runner Leon Bairnes, Trent being an elf and the elves not being extinct, Piscary being behind the assassination attempts against Trent and Rachel, Trent's and Rachel's fathers being partners and both being killed by Piscary, revealing Nick to be thief, Rachel's father being Takata, Rachel's adoptive father dying trying to reverse the transformation into a vampire, Pierce haunting the church for over a year, Ceri's pregnancy and the father's true identity, Rachel's mother being nowhere near as senile as she lets on, witches being the genetically damaged descendants of demons, Rachel being given the cure to Rosewood syndrome as a child which now makes her a demon and many, many more. Kim's biggest reveal to date is that "Kim Harrison" is a pen name for Dawn Cook. This has surprisingly created a degree of backlash.

Chess Master: Most characters have tried their hand at this role with varying degrees of success most notably Al, Minias, Trent, Nick, Piscary, Rynn and even Rachel. Subverted in that none of their plans have ever been highly successful and killed at least one of them.

Exotic Equipment: While female witches and witch-born demons can and do have perfectly normal sex with humans, vampires, elves, and presumably Weres, they also possess a few extra pelvic floor muscles, and hold onto their partners for a brief time following orgasm. Not that any of Rachel's partners seem to mind.

Interspecies Romance: Rachel rarely dates other witches. To date she has a relationship with a human and a living vampire. This seems to be a theme. David used to date humans exclusively until he accidentally turned them into werewolves and Ivy briefly dated the human Glenn. Ivy also briefly appeared to have an unrequited crush on David. Rachel did briefly switch to witches, but as of the end of "The Undead Pool" is in a relationship with Trent the elf. Jenks and Belle the Fairy seem to be starting one up.

Willfully Weak
 The Hollows / int_8941750b
comment
Willfully Weak: At the start of the series Rachel is doing this, by doing only white earth magic spells. White spells are less powerful than black spells, and the line is clearer with earth magic than ley line magic. However, circumstances keep forcing her to use black magic and demon curses. Later in Black Magic Sanction it is shown white magic can be as strong as black magic, but requires greater skill to do so. Rachel isn't much for studying though and thus chooses to use black and demon magic as a short cut when she needs power. This is beginning to have some rather negative long term implications. And then there is A Perfect Blood: For about half of the book Rachel cuts off her access to ley lines with a charmed silver bracelet courtesy of Trent. She goes through a lot of anguish trying to decide what the best course of action is: take it off and be hunted and persecuted by the general populace, or leave it on and be magically castrated for life. Eventually, she realizes that she is a demon, and she can't change that, so she removes it.

Vampires can also create a similar bond to create a "scion" which still binds a person but leaves them much more free will. Scions can also draw on some of the energy of the vampire they are bonded to. Conversely the vampire can freely Mind Rape the scion, so it is not always an ideal relationship.

 The Hollows / int_9bcd82c0
comment
Took a Level in Badass: Rachel does this periodically. She starts as a simple earth witch and every other book or so learns a new type of magic to add to her arsenal. First she learns ley-line magic, then black magic, then demon magic secondhand from Ceri and now is learning it first hand from Al. David is another example. First he starts off as a bookish werewolf insurance investigator who wanted to form his own pack to avoid werewolf politics. Later he ends up beating several werewolves at once from his old pack who challenge him. He takes another level in badass when he absorbs a demonic curse that can create werewolves from human beings which makes the equivalent of a super-alpha wolf.

Kill It with Fire: Rachel burns Kisten's murderer and accomplice into ash. Subverted in that they were already dead. First played straight and then averted in Black Magic Sanction: Rachel, Pierce, and Ceri almost burn Rachel's garden in order to kill the fairy assassins who had invaded; Rachel breaks the spell because she doesn't want to be a killer, but by then the spell burned off the fairies' wings. When she realizes that the fairies killed Matalina, she regrets not killing them, but then she and their leader Sidereal talk, and come to an agreement in which no one has to die, and both sides have earned the other's grudging respect. Trent's father Kal tries this on a living vampire who figured out that Trent was responsible for the T-4 virus killing humans, setting a circle around himself and torching the vampire. Unfortunately for Kal, the vampire managed to survive and make it Cincinnati to tell the enclave the truth.

Black Magic: Each type of magic has a more powerful black side to it except for demon magic which is all black. Subverted in that black magic is not inherently evil but does create what is termed "smut" on a person's aura. Despite that many people still use the presence of smut as a negative Karma Meter. Use of black magic is illegal. Later on it is revealed some witches are legally sanctioned to use it.

Karma Houdini
 The Hollows / int_a70223
comment
Karma Houdini: Al, Trent, Lee and Newt are examples of this trope. Al is the king of them having raped the dog publicly and loudly so often it's not just Crossing the Line Twice, he's taken atrocity Up to Eleven and has no intent of stopping. Mildly subverted in that he suffered a minor reversal of fortunes in demon society. This however was due to letting Rachel live with knowledge of demon magic as opposed to any ill deed he did. Nick could count as well, considering he's clever enough to avoid Trent and Rachel, after trying to steal Trent's priceless elf porn statue, conspiring against both of them, and disappearing from a cell in Trent's grounds, possibly all For the Lulz. Not to mention the faking his own death as an escape and then giving Rachel the focus. Almost everyone that tap dances over the line ends up this. Trent's father, also named Trent, kicks off the Turn by twisting a virus and the Angel tomato together, simply to ruin another elf's work. He doesn't end up dead, or even ruined; instead, he's on the way to becoming rich by creating Brimstone, he's managed to impregnate his rival and thus save his bloodline, and he has Piscary willing to fund a secret genetics lab. Trent himself, despite taking after his father in some ways, ends up married to Rachel at the end. Al, despite, well, everything he's done, ends up free on the other other side of the lines, and a big shot in Hollywood. The only ones to really pay for anything are Piscary, Lee, and Nick.

Alternate History: The history of the world the Hollows is marginally different even before the public revelation of the Inderlanders. For example genetic engineering became the focus of scientific research instead of space exploration or nuclear energy only to be banned after the 'Angel' virus epidemic. The timeline of those changes can be found here.

Mage Species: In the series, witches are separate species originating in the Ever After. Though they look just like humans, their genetics are completely different and the two species cannot interbreed. Later it is revealed that the witch species arose from stunted demon children suffering from an elven curse.

Red Eyes, Take Warning
 The Hollows / int_a939a527
comment
Red Eyes, Take Warning/Animal Eyes: Despite being shape shifters, all demons have red eyes with hellish pupils, slitted like a goat's, in any form. They often use sunglasses to disguise this. However, demons can change the eyes if it is important: In Black Magic Sanction, Al takes Rachel's form complete with green eyes, when the coven summons Rachel under Al's name and expect to get her. Rachel and Al had traded names back earlier to prevent this. Two exceptions: Newt, and Al, albeit temporarily, following a near-death experience with Rachel's ley line after it was sabotaged by Ku'Sox

Destructive Saviour: Early on in Pale Demon, through the use of very strong magic, Rachel and Trent (due to trying to save Trent from assassins and due to releasing the Ax-Crazy uber-demon Ku'Sox in a convoluted scheme to help Rachel), respectively, cause the near-total collapse of the St. Louis Gateway Arch. All by accident, of course. Margaritaville in Las Vegas gets burned down through the actions of Rachel and Co. as they fight Ku'Sox.

Summon Magic: Demons must be summoned by a magician to enter the real world. The exception is the demon matriarch Newt in an example of Screw the Rules, I Make Them!. Ghosts can be also summoned and given temporary solid form by magic and given permanent physical form by demon magic and killing a live member of their race. Since Rachel bears demon blood she can be summoned if someone knows her summoning name. This becomes a major plot point in Black Magic Sanction.

Shout-Out: Al once references 'burning bunnies' in a memorable quote. This is a Catchphrase of the author and members of her fan club often wear burning bunny pins to her book signings to identify themselves. You can find an example of the pin a little further down this page. Perhaps the most obvious shout out is the titles of the books. All except the first are derived from Clint Eastwood films due to the author's love of the actor's work. As a result, fans enjoy speculating on what the titles of upcoming books will be. Subverted with the prequel.

Rachel is later able to attach Nina's soul to Ivy after Nina dies her first death with the help of a soul bottle spell, saving her from becoming amoral and cruel because her soul was separated from her and moved to another dimension.

Immortality Seeker
 The Hollows / int_d959f4db
comment
Immortality Seeker: The motivation of the demon race. Justified in that an elven curse prevents them siring pureblood demon children and they don't want to go extinct. It has also been pointed out the Rachel that as she has demon DNA she could also gain immortality. She hasn't decided if that what's what she wants yet. Although it has been hinted she will live forever already by Al and I think Newt, not that they're reliable. Rachel herself has theorized that she and other demons gain immortality through the use of vanity curses such as her were and size changing curses as they appear to reset the biological clock back to vitality upon deactivation.

Nick fits this trope better, especially concerning hollow eyes and a near-starved frame. Ivy is more an aloof dark-haired girl, given her personality. So's Trent's mom, Trisk, to a degree, as a dark elf.

Laser-Guided Amnesia
 The Hollows / int_e7b0229a
comment
Laser-Guided Amnesia: The series has "forget charms" that can remove specific memories. Rachel has had these used on her twice so far. That she knows of. Subverted in that there are also Pandora charms that can restore the lost memories. In A Perfect Blood, the new, unnamed human organization try to erase Trent and Rachel's memories with a forget-chemical created by Trent's labs. They both come out unscathed; Trent because he has the antidote, and Rachel because she used a demon curse designed to prevent any and all induced memory loss.

Supernaturally Young Parent: It's been mentioned a few times in the series that witches age slowly once they reach adulthood, which presumably leads to a lot of this. Case in point: Rachel's mother is past retirement age for a human, but can pass for Rachel's sister with the right clothes.

Redemption Equals Death: Kisten. Also, in some ways, Trent Sr, as we never heard of his actual involvement in the T-4 epidemic, nor that he was responsible. All the readers knew until the prequel was that he was working on saving the elves through genetic modification.

Earn Your Happy Ending: Rachel and Ivy. Both of them go through hell and suffer a great deal. However, it all works out in the end and both of them get what they never thought they could as Ivy finds love and redemption with Nina and gets a job leading the I.S. and Trent presumably becomes Rachel's husband and the father of her children after the Distant Finale.

Theme Naming: Jenks' family. All given J names after him (rather than M names after his wife Matalina). It's revealed in Leyline Drifter that all pixies share the first letter of their father's name. Since pixies are born in litters, all pixies of a given litter have a names with a number of letters corresponding with their litter. Jax is Jenks' oldest surviving son, from his and Matalina's second litter of children.

Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Averted. Over the course of the series Rachel gets bones broken, gets beaten up and bruised in various fights with adversaries, gets her aura damaged, gets shot, gets scraped up, and almost bleeds to death several times. Later in the series she is able to benefit from some healing demon curses. To a certain extent and on certain occasions, however, she is able to cover up her bruises and scrapes with complexion charms, partially invoking this trope.
