Product Description

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 AudioFile

NO HUMANS INVOLVED is the kind of book you enjoy simply for the story, not for its depth or believability. In it necromancer Jaime Vegas is trying to free the trapped ghosts of six murdered children. Of course, Jaime is beautiful and thoroughly likable. Laural Merlington grasps the nature of Armstrongs supernatural story and reads with a sense of joy that makes the listener smile, no matter what is happening. Its as though Merlington can use her voice to mesmerize listeners. Merlington best moments focus on Vegass relationship with Jeremy Danvers, her handsome werewolf boyfriend, and her encounters with Eve, her own personal angel. This may not be a classic, but its certainly worth a listen. D.J.S. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars I can talk to dead people., Oct 14 2008

By	GinRobi (Timmins, ON, Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: No Humans Involved (Mass Market Paperback)

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 her as seriously as she'd like them to.

Jeremy is a werewolf, the pack's Alpha. As the Alpha, he's constantly being protected, bodyguard and otherwise, for no one in the pack wants to lose him, and those not part of the pack wants to see him dead. This time he meets up with Jaime without protection, just `for a visit'. While he's slow at getting there, he wants her. He just doesn't want to put the risks on her of what a pack Alpha means; the constant need to be protected, always at risk, for the easiest way to get to Jeremy would be through Jaime. But she's been wanting him since they met, and this time Jaime is determined to get him.

On the set of an anticipated TV show, something strange happens. Seems ghosts are trying to get her attention, but she can't see them. She talks to them, but they don't seem to understand or hear her. And other than indistinguishable whispers, she can't understand them either.

With the help of mostly Eve, Kristof, Hope, Jeremy and Karl, they delve into the mystery, unable to understand why these ghosts are unlike those she's ever encountered and wanting to lay them to rest. With a little sleuthing, they discover the ghosts are those of children, ghosts who's energy has been taken away, making them unable to appear in corporeal form, unable to be heard even by Eve and Kristof. But finding out who and why is enough to shock everyone.

I liked the mystery involved in this one. I'd have never guessed - not true, LOL! I got an inkling of the who, just not quite the why and how. It was interesting to see how the plot worked out - definitely different from your usual run of the mill paranormal story. What I thought cute was how Jaime was portrayed like Daphne from the Scooby-Doo cartoon - a wimp, always the one in trouble, getting kidnapped and needing rescuing. But the courage Jaime finds to defeat them was right-on perfect. I couldn't expect better.

I liked the banter between Jaime and Jeremy, especially the way she teased him. I do feel that there could have beem a little more spark between them. While it was strong, it wasn't enough. Could have used a little more `oomph' between the two of them.

And while the book is full of the usual: horror, action, adventure, suspense, mystery, satire, there were little inconsistencies that you catch and just let go. But I thought it was a little too neat, like it was hastily written. Too many tidy coincidences and not enough twists. And I know I'm not the only one who'd have loved to get more of Jaime's background. You get snippets of her past, but it's like the info barely made a dent on who Jaime is. Could've really used more on her.

Otherwise, another hit for the series. Keep `em coming, Kelley!

5.0 out of 5 stars finally insight into two intriguing characters, Jul 12 2007

By	L. Wylie "Kazanderra" (Edmonton, Alberta, Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I won't sum up the plot since that has already been done. I will however like to say that I for one am delighted that we finally get to know more about Jeremy and Jaime. I really enjoy stories that allow us to get to know the characters and for those same characters to develop. Kelley Armstrong does this quite well.

Jaime may not be everyone's favorite person in the series but I've always liked her. She is not a superwoman with amazing strength but that's her charm. Out of all the women so far, she is the most human yet she is a necromancer. Jeremy has always been a very strong and silent character and came across as the man with iron self control. It's not a great leap for him not to broadcast his feelings.

This is one of my favorite books, if not the favorite book in the series so far. The plot was engaging and the scenes between Jeremy and Jaime were very touching and in some very sizzling. Definitely a keeper.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent addition to the otherworld series, Jun 26 2007

By	A. Soares - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

While I have to admit that Jaime isn't my favorite character, I still enjoyed this new addition to the otherworld series. Many of Jaime's traits that irritated me in previous books were eased a little. I did not find that the Jaime/Jeremy romance was really realistic (in Jeremy's character) or that there was enough buildup to it- for me it just sort of came out of nowhere (on his side).
