Kim Harrison Hi, Ashley,
I'm so glad you're enjoying the Hollows! Thank you. You asked how did I know which characters I wanted to kill off? Well, I didn't want to kill any of them. I followed the course of the story, and if a character would impede or prevent what needed to happen, and I couldn't realistically get them out of the books another way (like send them to "camp vampire") they had to go. Kisten was one. Ceri another. It made sense that Ceri would die trying to remove a serious threat, and it was off page because I didn't want it to become the focus of the story.
