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.”

Editorial Reviews

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

Sad I had to give this book 3 stars

Bysusejon July 26, 2014

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Sad I had to give this book 3 stars. I'm a fan of the series. The writing is good, Jaime is a winning character and the general plot was good (not great). The biggest let down was the awful writing and choices the author made regarding the long awaited love scene between Jeremy, the strong, quiet Alpha werewolf and Jaime, the vulnerable, funny necromancer. I really love both these characters and the building of their romance was a great choice. Then she RUINED IT by writing a scene that was so out of character for them both, so gross, not sexy and basically stupid. I expected Jeremy to be passionate but not an adolescent and disturbingly weird. I expected Jaime to be experienced and loving but not acting like a whore performing for a "john" sitting behind the glass gawking at her. (Something akin to this actually is in this scene. Ack!) Now I love a good sex scene but this was embarrassing. It's so poorly written as well, to the point you are not sure what the heck they are doing. SPOILER ALERT!!! Just visualize Jeremy reduced to thrusting his lips, flaring nostrils, and his dick through the narrow opening of a pair of french doors, not just once but throughout most of this scene (painful) while Jaime is suddenly all badass, playing with herself on the bed with an uncharacteristic sadistic attitude. When Jeremy finally decides to break the wimpy door the scene ends with a few moments of rough sex. Ugh. I wish the author would rewrite this scene. It doesn't make sense and hurts these characters.

GOOD BOOK!

ByCarolyn Fon July 24, 2016

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.

Another extraordinary installment of an extraordinary series

BytrashcanmanVINE VOICEon April 14, 2008

Format: Mass Market PaperbackVerified Purchase

"No Humans Involved" is a real return to form for a series that I've followed almost fanatically ever since I read "Bitten" years ago. It's not that I didn't love "Haunted" and "Broken", it's just that they didn't grab me like the previous entries. After all, we'd already learned the ins-and-outs of The Pack in the first two books and while the Otherworld afterlife in book 5 was a very original one, it still took us away from a lot of what was going on in the series. NHI puts the series right back where I wanted it to be: exploring the Otherworld from the point of view of a character I already know and love but that hasn't been fully explored through Kelley Armstrong's gift of first person narrative.

Jaime proves to be an outstanding heroine and seeing this world from her POV is a treat. Being a good-hearted person, being a necromancer, AND being in showbiz aren't really compatible with each other, but somehow the woman makes it work. And watching her do it is impressive indeed. The climax where the Otherworld's damsel of perpetual distress is forced to think fast and wield her big supernatural stick is a killer. Particularly when Jaime has been kidnapped/saved, bitten by vampire spirits, and generally been rendered moot so many times in the series. Paige, Elena, Karl Marsten, Savannah, Kristoff Nast, and many other Otherworld all-stars make appearances as does the dark angel herself, Eve, and her daughter Savannah (who has a truly awesome sequence). Then, of course, there's Jeremy; Alpha werewolf, object of Jaime's affection, aloof intellectual, and general all-around great guy. Plenty of him to go around and a nice conclusion to their little romance arc that's been many books in the making.

NHI has everything I love about this series and that is....well, everything. Like I say in the video, if you love Buffy The Vampire Slayer,Angel, or any other supernatural series with a self-aware sarcastic streak than these are books you owe it to yourself to read. Oh, and Ms. Armstrong, I'm still waiting for that Cassandra novel!

The "Women of the Otherworld" series so far:
Bitten (Women of the Otherworld Book 1)
Stolen (Women of the Otherworld Book 2)
Dime Store Magic (Women of the Otherworld Book 3)
Industrial Magic (Women of the Otherworld Book 4)
Haunted (Women of the Otherworld Book 5)
Broken (Women of the Otherworld Book 6)
No Humans Involved (Women of the Otherworld Book 7)
Personal Demon: Women of the Otherworld Book 8
Coming soon: Living with the Dead (Women of the Otherworld Book 9)

Read them all and enjoy!
