From the Publisher

The men and women of the Otherworld - witches, werewolves, demons, vampires - live unseen among us. Only now a reckless killer has torn down the wall, trapping one very human woman in the supernatural crossfire.

Robyn moved to LA after her husband died to try to put some distance between herself and the life they had together. And the challenges of her job as the PR consultant to a Paris Hilton wannabe are pretty distracting. But then her celebutante is gunned down in a night club, and Robyn is suddenly the prime suspect. The two people most determined to clear her are her old friend, the half-demon tabloid reporter Hope Adams, and a homicide detective with an uncanny affinity for the dead.

Soon Robyn finds herself in the heart of a world she never even knew existed - and which she was safer knowing nothing about . . .

About the Author

Kelley Armstrong lives in rural Ontario with her husband, three children and far too many pets. She is the author of nine bestselling Women of the Otherworld novels, as well as a crime series featuring female hitwoman Nadia Stafford, and a young adult trilogy, Darkest Powers.

Of all the Kelley Armstrong, I wasn't sure how I felt about this particular one. All I know for sure is, I cried when Robyn detailed the events leading up to her husband's death. I mean, who wouldn't? What happened was so . . . . pointless, almost ridiculous. Nonetheless, the book is a solid addition to the Armstrong collection, and I did enjoy reading this story.

I Can Live With It

2 months ago

Living With The Dead is Kelley Armstrong’s ninth novel in her popular Women of The Otherworld series. It features half-demon Hope and werewolf Karl (the protagonists of the previous novel Personal Demon) as well as introducing some new characters into the series (the most interesting of which is Finn - the homicide detective who can see dead people). Robyn Peletier (a mere mortal), recently moved to LA after the tragic death of her husband. Living in a haze of apathy, she has taken the… + read more

Pretty good

This newer book of Armstrong's was pretty good. It was another story with Hope Adams, the 1/2 demon supernatural. I thought it dragged on a little bit but it was bearable.

Be patient

While it took me two tries to get into this novel, once I did, I was addicted. To be honest, I'm not sure what it was that stopped me from reading it the first time. Probably because, during the first few chapters, I was screaming in my head, "DON'T DO THAT, YOU IDIOT!" And of course the main character did. But as I read on, the story got more twisted and interesting. The tapestry woven is indeed complex, and sometimes the ideas within the plot are so convoluted I had to go back and read… + read more

Living Well

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… + read more
