"Trisk and her hated rival Kal have the same goal: save their species from extinction. But death comes in the guise of hope when a genetically modified tomato created to feed the world combines with the government's new tactical virus, giving it an unexpected host and a mode of transport. Plague rises, giving the paranormal species the choice to stay hidden and allow humanity to die, or to show themselves in a bid to save them. Under accusations of scientific misconduct, Trisk and Kal flee across a plague-torn United States to convince leaders of the major paranormal species to save their supposedly weaker kin, but not everyone thinks humanity should be saved"--

The Hollows Begins with Death

The Turn

#1 New York Times bestselling author Kim Harrison returns to her beloved Hollows series with The Turn—the official prequel to the series that will introduce you to a whole new side of Rachel Morgan’s world, featuring Harrison’s signature “spellbinding blend of sharp wit and vivid imagination” (Kelley Armstrong, New York Times bestselling author). Can science save us when all else fails? Trisk and her hated rival, Kal, have the same goal: save their species from extinction. But death comes in the guise of hope when a genetically modified tomato created to feed the world combines with the government’s new tactical virus, giving it an unexpected host and a mode of transport. Plague rises, giving the paranormal species the choice to stay hidden and allow humanity to die, or to show themselves in a bid to save the human race. Under accusations of scientific misconduct, Trisk and Kal flee across a plague-torn United States to convince leaders of the major paranormal species to save their supposedly weaker kin. Not everyone thinks humanity should be saved, though, and Trisk must fight the prejudices of two societies to prove not only that humanity does have something to offer but also that long-accepted beliefs against women, dark magic, and humanity itself can turn to understanding; that when people are at their worst, the best show their true strength; and that love can hold the world together as a new balance is found.

Dr. Trisk Cambi has created a tomato to feed the world. Dr. Trent Kalamack has always been jealous of her and her work. Now, the Elven Enclave has sent him to evaluate her work and that of Dr. Daniel Plank to see if it is safe for Inderlanders as she claims. Kalamack has other ideas. If he can discredit her work, he can steal it all for himself. But, something goes terribly wrong, and the fate of humans is at stake. I LOVE the Hollows series!! I was so sad when it ended. Needless to say, I was super excited when I saw this book. As with every book in this series, it left me wanting more!! I received a copy of this book from Net Galley.

           Excellent book as usual. I was sad to see this series end so I was ecstatic when the prequel came out. 

(Potential spoilers)

My only struggle was getting more of a character tie in to the main series.

As elves, vampires and werewolves fight among themselves to remain safe from humans, well, just don't eat the tomatoes!

3.5 stars. 

Orchid TOTALLY stole the show. She is one of the best female characters so far in UF that I've read! 

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought Kal was Trent!
