Briar's Reviews

Jaime Vegas is my favourite character from the Otherworld and Kelley Armstrong did not disappoint with her book! Although I did hope for more Jeremy/Jaime romance scenes, I was still happy that Jaime actually got a book. The fact that she only has one book does make me a little sad, but maybe there will be some short stories about her and Jeremy that I haven't come across.

This book had way to many coincidences, but I won't complain considering the fact I wasn't sure if Jaime and Jeremy would get their own novel, despite being (in my opinion) two of the most powerful characters in the series. 

I felt like the book was kind of rushed and put together quickly. I would have liked more scenes between Jeremy and Jaime because to me it was going to be their book instead of just Jaime talking to other random people who aren't ghosts. Having the other characters such as Clayton, Elena, Karl, and Hope involved were nice though. 

I had a lot of wants for this book and they weren't exactly met, but I love Jaime and Jeremy so I'm just happy they got their own book! Please make another one Kelley! I want and need more Jaime and Jeremy as soon as possible!

Five out of five stars!

When three spiritualists gather for the most anticipated reality television event of the season, celebrity medium Jaime Vegas finds herself drawn into a Los Angeles underworld of black magic and ritual sacrifice.

For some reason I feel like I would love being able to talk to ghost. I know "well if you actually had that power you'd hate it" or "well ghost don't exist" blah blah blah. 

I'm talking about a theoretical thing here. 

Just being able to speak to someone from a different time period would be so enlightening. But then you have the "never ever being alone" and probably perves watching you change... Ugh never mind. 



Jaime makes it look livable and cool but also you can see the damage it does to her. You can't help all the lost souls. You also can't punch a ghost in the face when they are being rude or gross. But at least she can converse with them. 

Until she can't. 

On a set for her big film break as a spiritualist (when in reality she actually is a necromancer, good cover job lady), Jaime feels a pinch. And a poke. And a grab. But she doesn't see anything. She hears whisper-less words. But still nothing. 

Her crush of four years comes in handy as she tries to figure out what exactly is going on. And so does a chaos-lover half demon (and our next narrator). 

Kelley Armstrong's story telling picks up in this new heroine book in a glorious series of supernatural ladies. The writing is glorious. This book is 100%. Double the love from the last three. Probably my favorite since Stolen or Bitten. 

Jaime is marvelous. I wish there were more books with her in the lead. Necromancers are cool to read about. 

This book?

Readers around the world have fallen for Kelley Armstrong’s intoxicating, sensual and wicked tales of the paranormal, in which demons and witches, werewolves and vampires collide – often hilariously, sometimes violently – with everyday life. In Armstrong’s first six novels, Elena, Paige and Eve have had their way with us. Now get ready for Jaime Vegas, the luscious, lovelorn and haunted necromancer. . . Jaime, who knows a thing or two about showbiz, is on a television shoot in Los Angeles when weird things start to happen. As a woman whose special talent is raising the dead, her threshold for weirdness is pretty high: she’s used to not only seeing dead people but hearing them speak to her in very emphatic terms. But for the first time in her life – as invisible hands brush her skin, unintelligible fragments of words are whispered into her ears, and beings move just at the corner of her eye–she knows what humans mean when they talk about being haunted. She is determined to get to the bottom of these manifestations, but as she sets out to solve the mystery she has no idea how scary her investigation will get, or to what depths ordinary humans will sink in their attempts to gain supernatural powers. As she digs into the dark underside of Los Angeles, she’ll need as much Otherworld help as she can get in order to survive, calling on her personal angel, Eve, and Hope, the well-meaning chaos demon. Jeremy, the alpha werewolf, is also by her side offering protection. And, Jaime hopes, maybe a little more than that. “As I knelt on the cobblestones to begin the ritual, I opened not some ancient leather pouch, but a Gucci make-up bag. . . . I know little about the geography and theology of the afterlife, but I do know that the worst spirits are kept secured, and my risk of “accidentally” tapping into a hell dimension is next to nil. Even if I do bring back some depraved killer’s spirit, what can it do to me? When you deprive someone of the ability to act in the living world, he’s pretty darned helpless. In death, even the worst killer plummets from lethal to merely annoying. Yet whatever had been trying to contact me apparently could cross that barrier, could act in the living world. . .at least on me. I added an extra helping of vervain to the censer.” —from No Humans Involved
