The 3rd and 4th are companion books--tell the same story from 2 different points of view--and are about the Roanoke Colony (The Lost Colony and Zoe's Tale). I read the very last one first so I'm fond of it

It works for me in Germany but maybe not in other countries?
I suggest just searching and then hopefully you can see the correct edition.
As far as I am aware the deal is also valid in the US and elsewhere.

It's a book that's been on offer very frequently. Did you miss the earlier offers?

Some $1.99 deals on books from Kim Harrison's Hollow's series. Not all books on sale in every store, links included to stores with sale prices.

Dead Witch Walking
Amazon US | B&N | Kobo | OmniLit | eBooks.com

All the creatures of the night gather in "the Hollows" of Cincinnati, to hide, to prowl, to party ... and to feed.

Vampires rule the darkness in a predator-eat-predator world rife with dangers beyond imagining -- and it’s Rachel Morgan'sjob to keep that world civilized.

A bounty hunter and witch with serious sex appeal and an attitude, she'll bring 'em back alive, dead ... or undead.

The Good, the Bad, and the Undead with Bonus Material
eBooks.com

For a limited time, discover Kim Harrison's The Good, the Bad, and the Undead including an early excerpt from her new novel, Pale Demon, on sale February 22, 2011.
It's a tough life for witch Rachel Morgan, sexy, independent bounty hunter, prowling the darkest shadows of downtown Cincinnati for criminal creatures of the night.
She can handle the leather-clad vamps and even tangle with a cunning demon or two. But a serial killer who feeds on the experts in the most dangerous kind of black magic is definitely pressing the limits.
Confronting an ancient, implacable evil is more than just child's play -- and this time, Rachel will be lucky to escape with her very soul.

Every Which Way But Dead with Bonus Material
eBooks.com

For a limited time and at a reduced price, catch up with Rachel Morgan and the Hollow Series with Every Which Way But Dead at a special price! Also included is an exclusive sneak peek at Kim Harrison's new novel, Perfect Blood, available February 21st.
In Every Which Way But Dead, witch and former bounty hunter Rachel Morgan's managed to escape her corrupt company, survive living with a vampire, start her own runner service, and face down a vampire master.
But her vampire roommate Ivy is off the wagon, her human boyfriend Nick is out of town indefinitely and doesn't sound like he's coming back while the far-too-seductive vampire Kisten is looking way too tempting, and there's a turf war erupting in Cincinnati's underworld.
And there's a greater evil still. To put the vampire master behind bars and save her family, Rachel made a desperate bargain and now there's hell to pay--literally. For if Rachel cannot stop him, the archdemon Algaliarept will pull her into the sorcerous ever-after to forfeit her soul as his slave. Forever.

For A Few Demons More
Amazon US | B&N | Kobo | Sony | OmniLit

Despite dating one vampire and living with another, Rachel Morgan has always managed to stay just ahead of trouble . . . until now.

A fiendish serial killer stalks the Hollows, and no one living in or around Cincinnati—human, inhuman, or undead—is safe.

An ancient artifact may be the key to stopping the murderer—a mysterious relic that is now in the hands of Rachel Morgan, fearless independent bounty hunter and reckless witch. But revealing it could ignite a battle to the death among the vast and varied local supernatural races.

Rachel's been lucky so far. But even she can't hide from catastrophe forever.

White Witch, Black Curse
Amazon US | B&N | Kobo | Sony | OmniLit

Some wounds take time to heal . . . and some scars never fade.

Rachel Morgan, kick-ass witch and bounty hunter, has taken her fair share of hits, and has broken lines she swore she would never cross. But when her lover was murdered, it left a deeper wound than Rachel ever imagined, and now she won't rest until his death is solved . . . and avenged. Whatever the cost.

Yet the road to hell is paved with good intentions, and when a new predator moves to the apex of the Inderlander food chain, Rachel's past comes back to haunt her.

Literally.

Black Magic Sanction
Amazon US | B&N | eBooks.com

Rachel Morgan has fought and hunted vampires, werewolves, banshees, demons, and other supernatural dangers as both witch and bounty hunter—and lived to tell the tale. But she's never faced off against her own kind . . . until now. Denounced and shunned for dealing with demons and black magic, her best hope is life imprisonment—at worst, a forced lobotomy and genetic slavery. Only her enemies are strong enough to help her win her freedom, but trust comes hard when it hinges on the unscrupulous tycoon Trent Kalamack, the demon Algaliarept, and an ex-boyfriend turned thief.

It takes a witch to catch a witch, but survival bears a heavy price.

Yes, strangely I didn’t notice it earlier.

I admit to being puzzled by the way all the series is being oferred free. I can see what an author would offer the first in a series free, but not the others.

But only two free at a time, there are now 11 in the series plus two minor shorts.

Maybe she hopes you get hooked and buy all the rest ?

Self-pubbed so it might make sense to have all but the latest free (or to continue to rotate the free ones) to get noticed.

Blast. I was able to resist while it was only on Nook, where I don't have an account.

I have collected several in the series, but not the first one, Outcasts and Gods. It took me longer than I normally search to find that it's the first in the series. Anyway, for anyone who has Prime, it's available in the Prime Lending Library.
