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.
They’re smart, sexy, and supernatural. They’re the men and
women of the Otherworld—a realm of witches, ghosts, and
werewolves who live unseen among us. Only now a reckless
killer has torn down the wall, trapping one very human
woman in the supernatural cross fire.
Robyn Peltier moved to Los Angeles after her young
husband’s sudden death, trying to put some distance
between herself and her memories. Though she’s still
grieving, the challenges of her new life as the PR
consultant to Portia Kane—the world’s most famous
celebutante wannabe—can sometimes be amusing, even
distracting. But when her client is gunned down in the
back room of a nightclub, Robyn is suddenly on the run as
the prime suspect in the murder.
And as more bodies pile
up around her, it seems like only Hope Adams, Robyn’s best
friend, and Hope’s somewhat spooky boyfriend Karl are on
Robyn’s side. Hope Adams follows the kinds of stories
whose headlines scream from supermarket checkout lines.
But the difference is that Hope’s stories are even weirder—
and they’re all true.
Though determined to help Robyn,
Hope knows it’s only a matter of time before her friend is
caught.
But it’s not the police Hope is worried about. For
Robyn has gotten herself in the middle of a turf war
between two powerful Otherworld cabals who’ll spill any
amount of blood—human and inhuman—to protect what they
consider theirs for all eternity. And the only way Hope
can keep her friend alive is by letting her enter a world
she’s safer knowing nothing about.
