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.
Theyβre smart, sexy, and supernatural. Theyβre the men and
women of the Otherworldβa 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
husbandβs sudden death, trying to put some distance
between herself and her memories. Though sheβs still
grieving, the challenges of her new life as the PR
consultant to Portia Kaneβthe worldβs most famous
celebutante wannabeβcan 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, Robynβs best
friend, and Hopeβs somewhat spooky boyfriend Karl are on
Robynβs side. Hope Adams follows the kinds of stories
whose headlines scream from supermarket checkout lines.
But the difference is that Hopeβs stories are even weirderβ
and theyβre all true.
Though determined to help Robyn,
Hope knows itβs only a matter of time before her friend is
caught.
But itβs not the police Hope is worried about. For
Robyn has gotten herself in the middle of a turf war
between two powerful Otherworld cabals whoβll spill any
amount of bloodβhuman and inhumanβto 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
sheβs safer knowing nothing about.
