Kelley Armstrong brings us the eighth novel in the Women of the Otherworld series. This time, the main character is a human, Robyn Peltier, who works as a PR consultant to Portia Kane, celebutante wannabe. Robyn is grieving her husband's recent death, and constant work for the demanding Portia Kane keeps her mind off of her own problems. Hope Adams, Robyn's best friend and chaos demon, is coming for a visit. When Portia is gunned down in a nightclub, and Robyn is accused of the murder, Hope sees that things aren't really what they seem to the mundane world. Robyn is hurled into a world she has never known. Now Robyn, with the help of Hope and her werewolf boyfriend Karl, needs to dodge the police and the murder to prove her own innocence in a world she doesn't understand.

In LIVING WITH THE DEAD Armstrong introduces clairvoyants into the Otherworld. The clairvoyants live in constant fear the that Cabals will hunt them down, so they live, commune style, in remote locations. The antagonist in this book, Adele, is fantastic. Her ego is so large that she can't imagine anyone can thwart her. She is dark, twisted and dangerous. And as more things go wrong for her, the more evil she gets. I love the entire Otherworld series, and have from the first book. I can't wait until the next installment.
