I have read all of theirs books(series) .I had a hard time getting though this one.It wasn't like the other ones where I couldn't put it down.It was OK.I'm reading Frostbitten now hope this one is better.

When I began reading this series I was floored at how much I loved it!! I couldn't put it down or any of the other books! I was feeling a little lost after I finished reading the Twilight Saga, twice, and when I stumbled upon this series I was so excited to be back in the supernatural world! Can't wait for more!

I found Living With he Dead to be a complete let down, and for those of you who absolutly loved this book and see that I didn't like it, can not roll your eyes and say I'm "picky" because I'm not.

I have read every other story in this series as I'm sure most of you have and loved all the other ones. I think Robyns' prespective was boring as I did also with Finns'. Hopes and Colms were better, and Adeles weren't exactly compelling.

That brings me to another "downer" to this book. The ever changing views of the story. You adjust to there being 5 prespectives, but at first I felt a little annoyed. Kelleys last book- Personal Demon- was the first book that had more than one view, it was Lucus who was incorporated into Hopes' story. It was a very exceptional novel but I wasn't loving the two views.

It's not just the prespectives that made me not like the book, I've read alot of books with different sides and enjoyed them. But I found Living with the Dead boring and uneventful. Well, I shouldn't say uneventful, but theres just an undercurrent of the book that makes me feel like nothing fun is happening.

I'm not telling you to not read this book, nor am I implying it. In fact I think you should read this book, but only because it's part of the series and you still need it to make sense of the next one. I think there was really only three reasons why I finished this book:
1-I really don't like giving up on novels.
2-It's part of the series.
3-I thought it would get better...it didn't.

This was a nice re-start to Armstrong's Otherworld series. The tone and rhythm was different without deterring entirely from the rest. In many ways, this was appropriate, because for the first time Armstrong used a human protagonist.

Free from sex, the plot amped up into the mystery/thriller aspect. I could have done without the constant chapter headings that told whose perspective we were listening to. (Everything's in third person, so I'm not sure they were needed at all.) I also felt like there were a couple of stutter-starts in this…were I'd read a stretch full-out, then just suddenly lose interest. Luckily the plot would quickly regroup itself and charge onward again.

Elena has always been my favorite character for the Otherworld, and I missed not having a glimpse of her. Still, I'm excited at where Armstrong is taking her readers. After 9 books, I'm not feeling like I'm reading the same drivel over and over again. That alone makes this one highly recommended.
