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 Publishers Weekly
In Armstrong's assured seventh Otherworld paranormal romance, her first in hardcover (after Broken), pretty Jaime Vegas, a 44-year-old necromancer who can reanimate the dead, faces her biggest career challenge yet—freeing the trapped ghosts of six murdered children. Thankfully, Jeremy Danvers, Jaime's hunky and very Alpha werewolf boyfriend, tags along for this hair-raising ride. Jaime, who has made a living onstage and off by her ghost-whispering skills, is in L.A. as one of three celebrity mediums participating in Death of Innocence, a TV special that hopes "to raise the ghost of Marilyn Monroe," but instead uncovers a serial-killing cult intent on man-made black magic. Seeking justice for the lost children and punishing the dark arts practitioners don't prevent Jaime and Jeremy from finding time for love. Armstrong deftly juggles such creatures as werewolves, witches, demons and ghosts with real-life issues. The only disappointment? Marilyn's ghost never shows. (May)

From Booklist
Fortysomething Jaime Vegas is a sexy, redheaded celebrity medium on the threshold of a spiritualist's dream: her own TV show. She is one of three professional psychics brought to a haunted site for a reality TV show and charged with raising the ghost of Marilyn Monroe. Obviously, this is Jaime's shot at stardom. Her costars are drawling, up-and-coming starlet medium Angelique and UK satanic specialist Bradford Grady, and watching the three one-up each other as they jockey for prime position, even during a warm-up seance, is good show-biz comedy. Jaime knows and uses a psychic's two primary tools, knowledge (prior facts) and statistical probability, but everything depends on her authentic, natural necromantic gifts. But when she finds spirits in the site's garden with whom she cannot commune despite her superpowerful silver ring, she fears she's out of her league (she's not wrong) and flies to Portland for help. Paranormal and show-business power struggles make for hard-to-put-down entertainment. Whitney Scott

"No Humans Involved" may have been written too fast-but far from being dead this book is a live wire
By Lilly Flora
Like another reviewer on this page, I had my review reported unfit for Amazon by someone and subsequently removed along with all the helpful votes it had earned. This has happened three times now. Whoever is doing this "reporting", please stop. I know the Amazon guidelines very well and this review follows them-if it did not the nice people who run this website wouldn't have allowed it to be posted in the first place. If you have a specific issue to take up with me or my review write a comment attached to my review or email me but please stop trying to delete this review. Amazon reviews works because everyone can post their opinion.
"No Humans Involved" is the turn for Jamie Vegas, our favorite celebrity Necro, to narrate. She was actually a cool choice for a first person speaker because it made the book really different to have a heroine who can't do anything to protect themselves physically. No super strength or wolf-shape like Elena, no spells like Paige or Eve, and definitely no Angel sword. Sometimes this is annoying because Jamie spends a while whining about always having to be rescued, but it a way it's more relatable, because hey, what reader could take on a werewolf or demon and expect to come out alive? Jamie is more human than the others. And she's definitely the funniest narrator yet.
But she's still way not normal. This book takes place on a TV shoot to raise the ghost of Marilyn Monroe, involving Jamie and two television spiritualists (no necro power for them.) At first Jamie thinks this will be a great way to get her own TV show, and Jeremy, the werewolf pack Alpha agreed to come out to LA from New York to visit, raising her hopes for a romantic relationship with him (no, in this book, in the beginning, they are not dating.) But while doing a TV summoning, Jamie comes across some real world ghosts, not that that's weird, they're all over the house, but these are different-she can't see them, or hear them really, but they can touch her. Remembering the situation in "Industrial Magic" (vampire ghost) she decides something must be done and discovers these ghosts are children-something which according to the laws of the underworld shouldn't happen. And they became trapped on earth by humans using magic-with no supernatural blood involved.
So something must be done. Can Jamie find out what humans have discovered the ways of magic, save the ghost kids, do something more than just flirt with Jeremy and manage to pull of this TV show to her advantage? Read the book to find out. It's chopped full of the usual action, adventure, horror, suspense, laughs, nifty trivia about the otherworld and of course, sex. Unfortunately because of the series is finally popular enough, it's only out in hardcover, but it's not a waste of money to buy it now.
With the "Women of The Otherworld" series having officially become large at six books total, the author, I believe, fell pray to a trap that commonly hit popular writers, especially those writing series. Now hitting these pitfalls makes this in no way a bad book, as you will see by reading the rest of this review, but it does mean that sadly, "No Humans Involved" is not as strong as the previous novels in the series.
First of all it's clear it was written too quickly. Normally for Kelley Armstrong this isn't a problem because she can churn out mini-stories on her website that fill in the blanks between books and they're great-but this book has things happen that leave you wondering when the characters planned on doing on that. Like, when did Jamie tell the backyard ghosts about the trapped child ghosts? And when did they decide to help? It never says, and according to Jamie herself, and all the past books, ghosts just aren't very altruistic. In accordance with this parts of the book and the ending just seemed too neat and tidy; it really needed more filling out. There were too many helpful coincidences, escape routes...bla bla, you get the picture.
Also there were some things mentioned about Jamie's past that were like little blips in the book that I would have loved to know more about. It seems like in "Bitten" we got Elena's life story, and we know a lot about Paige, but this book barely scratched Jamie's surface.
Other than that, this was another great book. I do believe we even got introduced to our next narrator, who will take book #8 (when it comes out) on a decidedly dark turn.
I do hate to give a Kelley Armstrong novel anything less than five stars, but this was just written too fast and it didn't have enough depth-still, though for a book with so much to do with death, it's a live wire. So in the end, four stars. Recommended (obviously) but read the others first. We have come to the point in the series where you'll just be lost without starting earlier on.

GOOD BOOK!
By Carolyn F
Audiobook
I started this series and loved it but started skipping around not reading the secondary characters' stories. So although I have the book, I listened to the library's audiobook instead. I really enjoyed it. I loved seeing how Jaime Vegas (stupid name by the way) and Jeremy took their relationship to the next level while trying to solve a mystery. Good book. I'm planning on reading listening to the rest of the series.

An excellent book in an excellent series

An excellent book in an excellent series, May 31, 2007
By G. Robinson "Extensive reader" (CO) - See all my reviews
If you are familiar with the series skip the next section and get right to the review.
This book is the 7th in a series. The series starts as two almost separate series which converge and add characters. I would recommend reading them in the following order:
Bitten (Women of the Otherworld, Book 1) This and the next concern Elena, Clay, Jeremy and the were wolf pack.
Stolen (Women of the Otherworld, Book 2)
The next books concern Page, her adopted daughter Savannah (powerful witches), and Lucas (a sorcer) and the Cabals (mafia like organizations of sorcers). The last of the three Haunted is where Eve, Krist (Savannaha's departed parents) and Jamie make their appearance. This is also where the series start to converge.
Dime Store Magic (Women of the Otherworld, Book 3)
Industrial Magic: Women of the Otherworld
Haunted (Women of the Otherworld, Book 5)
with Broken (Women of the Otherworld, Book 6) we are back to Elena and the Were wolves.
REVIEW:
This book features Jamie and Jeremy who have been developing the hots for each other for some time. Jamie (a Necromancer, she can communicate with ghosts and bring back the dead) has been hired along with two spiritualists to do a TV mini series of séances with famous Hollywood departed cumulating with Marylyn Monroe. The producer is sneakily setting it up to be a reality show with hidden cameras. The rest of the plot is very good with some nice twists, including Hope (a half demon) and Karl (a were wolf thief). The characters are excellent and so is the humor. Overall an excellent read even if there are too many characters for this book to really stand alone.
