Product Description:
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.”

Rating:  - Wonderful
Kelley Armstrong did it again. An amazing book.
Jaime Vegas is a TV Spiritualist, but what her fans don't know is that she truly can see spirits. When Jaime gets a job offer that would make her career, she invites her crush, and the werewolf alpha, Jeremy Danvers to join her in California. She moves into a home with two other TV Spiritualists and the taping begins. But what Jaime finds in the garden of her new home will rock her world and shape her future.
Rating: - Her best yet!
My wish was granted. In her latest book, "No Humans Involved," Armstrong teams up necromancer Jaime Vegas and werewolf alpha Jeremy Danvers. It does not disappoint! Together they must stop a group of child-murderers, while stuck on the set of a reality-TV séance show. Things get dangerous and at times steamy. I always knew Jaime had a lot of pluck, but who would have guessed that Jeremy could actually lose control once in a while? Loved it, loved it, loved it!
Rating: - Great Otherworld Book
In this book, we are introduced to Jamie Vegas. She is like the Jerry Springer of dead people. Mostly she does shows where everyone believes she talks to their dead relatives. The show is a fake, but Jamie is not. She is a necromancer, able to control the dead, which she doesn't know that. She only knows they want to talk with her and have her do stuff for them when she is trying to live her own life.

Rating:  - I can talk to dead people.
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 ... Read More
Rating: - Peanut Butter & Guacamole
I love Guac. I love peanut butter. But together they don't taste great, and thats how I feel about the romantic couple of Jaime and Jeremy, the werewolf alpha. First off, no matter how Armstrong talks up Jaime, I just keep imagining this 44 year old presumably adult woman running around in spike heels, forgetting to take her winter coat, talking to ghosts, strip teasing near the balconey window and crushing hard on Jer like a 13 and I'm just sort of embarrased. She totally lacks dignity.
