No Humans Involved

This is the 7th book in the series and I have to say it was just awesome! I love how this book shows Jamie as a strong women all on her own showcasing her dark powers! I really enjoy how my favorite characters keep popping into each book, giving a little more of their personality! For anyone that hasn't started reading this series yet, get to it and you will NOT be disappointed!

This book was my absolute favorite of the whole series! It was suspenseful, smart, witty and super sexy. I have been anxiously awaiting a book that explored the Jamie/Jeremy relationship and this book not only answered the question: Are they ever going to hook up? But delved deep into the characters' shrouded pasts and revealed tenderness and insecurities that enrich the whole series. The only negative thing I can say was this book left me desperate for more!!!!

I loved learning more about Jeremy, the famous Alpha Werewolf. This story was full of suspense and mystery. I liked the angle of human magic versus supernatural magic. Armstrong touches a few taboo topics like the murder of children for magical power and Judgement Day, heaven and hell. This book was filled with deep thoughts and emotions. Enjoyed every second of it.

Loved it!! Could not put it down!! This book is full of love, passion, ghosts and adventure. Jamie takes part in a TV program to raise the ghost of Marilyn Monroe with hopes of getting her own TV show. But she soon comes to find out that the gardens of the house, which the show is set, is haunted and holds a dark nasty secret. She calls on her council friends; Jeremy (of course), Eve Levine her contact on the other side, Hope Adams supernatural tabloid report and half demon, Paige Winterborne witch, Elana Michaels werewolf, Clay Danvers werewolf, and Karl Marsten werewolf who shows up near the end. Throughout the book it becomes apparent that something evil is going on and Jaime will need to push herself and her powers to there fullest to free the spirits of the garden and stop the people who caused all of this. Kelley Armstrong does not disappoint in this installment of the otherworld series. I loved hearing the book from Jamie’s point of view. Like Hope she never really used her powers to any extent and now has to learn to use them and harness them. I love the relationship between Jamie and Jeremy. IT’S ABOUT TIME!!!! I could not wait to see Jeremy and Jamie’s relationship finally happen. Her relationship with Jeremy is touching and believable and awwww. I have been waiting for a book where the two are them are together ever since in Broken where it was obvious how she felt about him and I think the relationship works. Jeremy is so quiet being the alpha and does not show his feelings out in the open, but when he is with Jamie a whole different side of him comes out. You get to see Jeremy as a person and not a leader. This book will not disappoint.

I was happy to finely pick up Jamie's book. I love necromancers, and who can't help but really like this fiery red head. It was a fun read, with everything you could want in a Kelley Armstrong book. can't wait to read book 8

With the exception of its somewhat awkward title, 'No Humans Involved' is a novel that rises to meet the rather high standards set by Armstrong's previous works; namely 'Bitten' and 'Stolen' and thankfully, it seems like Armstrong is finally back to producing action-filled reader-pleasers narrated by powerful, sexy women.

Jaime Vegas, a celebrity medium with a surprising secret: descended from a long line of necromancers, she really *can* communicate with the dead.
Jaime has always been one of the more intriguing side characters in the series and finding her as the "front and centre" narrator to this novel is a nice change. Thrusting Jamie into the spotlight allows the reader to finally see past all the characteristic "misinterpretations" that many of the other characters seem to make concerning her abilities. Not only does it give her a chance for some serious character development (not to mention a resolution of her "will-they-or-won't-they" dance with Alpha werewolf Jeremy), but the story Armstrong weaves for the character is a perfect fit.

A much stronger novel than the one which immediately preceded it.

YEAH for Jamie, this was a steamy one and I totally LOVED it. Nice to see Jeremy with her...but I will say no more. Jamie may not be able to fight like Elena or Eve, but she makes up for it, and I loved her as a narrator

This book is easily the favorite of the Women of the Underworld series. This novel follows the life of Jaime, the Necromancer whose day job is as a television personality psychic who is world renown and loved.
I was really excited about this book because I was looking forward to seeing the developing relationship between Jaime and Jeremy-Alpha leader of the Wolf pack.
The story was wicked sexy and had just the right amount of mystery to make the book a delicious read.
I was also excited because we got to meet the lady who is the series next Woman of the Underworld---Hope.
It was an excellent read and Armstrong keeps on getting better and better.

Once again Armstrong delivers. This is Jaime's story. Jaime Vegas is a necromancer - she can speak to the dead. We've met her in previous novels as a minor character where she comes across as kind of flaky so it was nice to see her character gain more depth.

In this novel, Jaime is taking part in a Hollywood TV special that is supposed to result in raising the ghost of Marilyn Monroe. The show which started out 'respectable' takes a turn for the worse when the director is repaced by a new director known for his beer commercials and reality TV shows. As a result, Jaime finds herself living with the 2 other 'spiritualits' in a house in Brentwood full of hidden cameras and a production assistant determined to stir things up between the house guests. Can you say Big Brother meets Medium?

Luckily, all that nonsense takes a back seat to the real story which involves ritual sacrifices and 'normal' humans trying to unleash magic of their own.

This book gives us another look at Eve and Kristof (from Haunted) as well as brings back Karl (a non-pack werewolf) and Hope (a half demon). We also get to see more of Jeremy, the alpha of the werewolf pack. Usually, he is overshadowed by Elena or Clay, so it is great to see him here where we get to learn abit more about him and his background as well as see the development of his relationship with Jaime.

I love Kelley Armstrong's Women of the Otherworld series and so far this is the best in it. Can't wait for more. Also can't wait for Men of the Otherworld Series, as I don't really care for Nadia (ho hum): how you make a boring hit woman I don't know, but somehow she manages. 5 Stars for No Humans Involved. It was the first in the series that I read and continues to be the best, although the one with Jack the Ripper is pretty "freaking" good too!

Kelley Armstrong keeps getting better and better.
I was so excited to see Jaime's story, finally! She has been one of my favorite characters in the series and her love for Jeremy was finally explored!
This book was an awesome read, mostly because it delved in my favorite aspects of the supernatural...psychic phenomena.
Since Jaime Vegas is a Necromancer, the story revolved around ghosts and trapped souls. The mysteries were so well developed and easy to follow, it was quite the page turner.
I have absolutely nothing negative to say about the book. Well written, great story line, great love story....the plain awesome.

This book was just alright . Not one of Kelley Armstrongs best but it still had some good parts. I felt like it was a little long in some parts and I got bored but then something would happen that would get me excited... then i would get bored.... I thought it was like this for the whole book. still an alright read though.

Jaime Vegas is a true necromancer. She can raise the dead if she has to. She can see and talk to ghosts. Only problem is, she can't control seeing them. Constantly, everywhere, they see her, she pretends not to see them. Sure, she can deliver a message for them, but she can't figure out why they're dead, who killed them, what killed them, and would prefer not to even try. Now part of the interracial council, Jaime gives her feedback when it's needed and wanted. However, she still doesn't think they take her as seriously as she'd like them to.

Jeremy is a werewolf, the pack's Alpha. As the Alpha, he's constantly being protected, bodyguard and otherwise, for no one in the pack wants to lose him, and those not part of the pack wants to see him dead. This time he meets up with Jaime without protection, just 'for a visit'. While he's slow at getting there, he wants her. He just doesn't want to put the risks on her of what a pack Alpha means; the constant need to be protected, always at risk, for the easiest way to get to Jeremy would be through Jaime. But she's been wanting him since they met, and this time Jaime is determined to get him.

On the set of an anticipated TV show, something strange happens. Seems ghosts are trying to get her attention, but she can't see them. She talks to them, but they don't seem to understand or hear her. And other than indistinguishable whispers, she can't understand them either.

With the help of mostly Eve, Kristof, Hope, Jeremy and Karl, they delve into the mystery, unable to understand why these ghosts are unlike those she's ever encountered and wanting to lay them to rest. With a little sleuthing, they discover the ghosts are those of children, ghosts who's energy has been taken away, making them unable to appear in corporeal form, unable to be heard even by Eve and Kristof. But finding out who and why is enough to shock everyone.

I liked the mystery involved in this one. I'd have never guessed - not true, LOL! I got an inkling of the who, just not quite the why and how. It was interesting to see how the plot worked out - definitely different from your usual run of the mill paranormal story. What I thought cute was how Jaime was portrayed like Daphne from the Scooby-Doo cartoon - a wimp, always the one in trouble, getting kidnapped and needing rescuing. But the courage Jaime finds to defeat them was right-on perfect. I couldn't expect better.

I liked the banter between Jaime and Jeremy, especially the way she teased him. I do feel that there could have beem a little more spark between them. While it was strong, it wasn't enough. Could have used a little more 'oomph' between the two of them.

And while the book is full of the usual: horror, action, adventure, suspense, mystery, satire, there were little inconsistencies that you catch and just let go. But I thought it was a little too neat, like it was hastily written. Too many tidy coincidences and not enough twists. And I know I'm not the only one who'd have loved to get more of Jaime's background. You get snippets of her past, but it's like the info barely made a dent on who Jaime is. Could've really used more on her.

Otherwise, another hit for the series. Keep 'em coming, Kelley!

The latest book in the series of women of the underworld was good but i do no think it was her best one of the series. Kelley is very good at bringing in all characters from others books and creating a continueing story line that you can follow. I like that she included most of her previous characters. The book is very good at tying up some questions that have been lingering but it is not as action packed as her other books in the series. It has a more suttle story line which works for her characters. I can not wait for the next book in the series.

Kelley Armstrong is a consistently good story-teller. Her characters have a lot of depth, and are quite believable and realistic, considering that they are all supernaturals like vampires, werewolves, witches and sorcerers!

There are elements of connection across the various books, but each book can easily stand on its own, so you don't HAVE to read the books in any particular order. Armstrong also uses a lot of humour in her books, which really adds to my enjoyment of them.

I will always pick up a new title by Kelley Armstrong, and I am rarely disappointed in her books. I find her a consistently enjoyable author.

Great continuation of the series... finally glad to get more of Jaime's story and this one was excellent! The issue of human sacrifice was somewhat jarring, but it fit the story. Definitely as the series progresses we're finding that the issues that our heroines and heroes are dealing with are getting somewhat grittier, but it all fits.
Kelley Armstrong is a fantastic author and I LOVE her Women of the Otherworld series. The characters, male and female, good and evil, alive and not, are fascinating... and REAL! The touches of romance are wonderful, sometimes there's more of a complete romance than others, but everything is continually evolving ~ characters, relationships, romances... Fabulous! VERY, VERY, VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Armstrong's books are always amazing and this one is no exception! It was truly scary (and eerie) to know that these ghost were children...the combination of kids and spirits makes me feel all creeped out.
I am very interested to know more about these symbols that Jeremy draws, but I have a feeling that we won't find out much unless there is another Jamie Vegas Elena storyline OR if she decides to write about the supernatural males.

Some of us having been waiting for a Jaime story for a long so it's been great to see this one. As a bonus, long-time fans get the pleasure of Jeremy as well. It's about time he tried finding some happiness of his own!

Another great and entertaining novel by Armstrong, though I was irked by one scene. When Jaime is kidnapped, Jeremy finds her but never explain how.... Armstrong writes it that he just knew where to find her. I'm not a big fan of that reasoning and really find it to be just a cop out. I would have accepted even the most ludicrous explanation over that brush off.

All that aside, I love the touching way the story ended off and how the children appeared one by one, giving their names. Good story and nice to see all the characters from a unique point of view.

With that said, I do sort of feel as if we've seen all of Ms. Vegas that we need to see. I'm not sure that another novel could really reveal any more about her.

I loved this book. Kelley Armstrong's books always keep you wanting more, they always have you hooked and this book has not failed in doing that. I could not get enough. I would recommend this book to anyone who would like a good read.
