From Publishers Weekly

Smart-mouthed Eve Levine, a witch with a reputation for breaking the rules, may be dead, but as she proves in this overstuffed paranormal romance (a follow-up to Industrial Magic), she can still raise hell in the hereafter—which, in this case, is a curiously ordinary dimension in which ghosts like Eve and her also deceased former lover, a sorcerer named Kris, can bicker, have sex and use their paranormal powers. The Fates, three elusive sisters, are the rulers of this otherworldly dimension, and they have a job for Eve. If she can defeat a demonic Nix who's wreaking havoc in the human realm by inducing people to kill, she'll earn her wings—literally. The catch: she can't capture the Nix without the powers that angelhood affords. Eve surmounts this hurdle by teaming up with a hunky and humanlike angel named Trsiel, but her quest, which is fraught with obstacles as well as unnecessary distractions, is lengthy and meandering. In addition, Eve's kick-butt-ask-questions-later attitude, while amusing, can be wearying, and the rules of Armstrong's alternate world seem conveniently changeable. Still, those who appreciate heroines with a good measure of spunk, sass and strong-arm savvy will find this a fun if fitful read.

Book Description

THE CONTINUING ADVENTURES OF THE SMART, SEXY — SUPERNATURAL — WOMEN OF THE OTHERWORLD

Eve Levine — half-demon, black witch and devoted mother — has been dead for three years. She has a great house, an interesting love life and can’t be killed again — which comes in handy when you’ve made as many enemies as Eve. Yes, the afterlife isn’t too bad — all she needs to do is find a way to communicate with her daughter, Savannah, and she’ll be happy.

But fate — or more exactly, the Fates — have other plans. Eve owes them a favor, and they’ve just called it in. An evil spirit called the Nix has escaped from hell. She feeds on chaos and death, and is very good at persuading people to kill for her. The Fates want Eve to hunt her down before she does any more damage, but the Nix is a dangerous enemy — previous hunters have been driven insane in the process. As if that’s not problem enough, the only way to stop her is with an angel’s sword. And Eve is no angel. . . .

4.0étoiles sur 5 Good, but not as good as the previous in the series, Avril 8 2009

This review is from: Haunted (Mass Market Paperback)
I love the Women of the other World Series. They are so addicting. I think they are some of the best books I have read in the supernatural genre. This one particular book in the series I found harder to follow then the others. It was a little boring because there was too much information on the different kinds of demons and their powers plus the different realms of the after life and what went with that. It was very good aside from the information overload; it had a lot of suspenseful page turning parts that's for sure. I was happy to be done with this one and very happy that I was going to start reading about Elena Michaels again.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Women of the Otherworld #5, Janv. 25 2010
Par J. Scully "JLS" (Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Haunted (Mass Market Paperback)
Haunted is the 5th book in the Women of the Otherworld series, and once again we are treated to a new perspective as this story is told from Eve's point of view. Eve is a very likable character, and I enjoyed finally getting to know her (even though she's dead!) but despite that, Haunted is my least favorite of the Otherworld novels so far. I've mentioned in my previous reviews of this series that one of the things I love most about Kelley Armstrong's writing is how she always manages to create a supernatural world that feels completely realistic. And that's why I had such a hard time with this story. The ghost world that Eve inhabits just doesn't feel believable to me. I know it's contradictory to love a story populated with witches and werewolves but not one with ghosts, but the fact that it took me three weeks to finish this story indicates that it just wasn't gripping me. As with the all the other novels in the Women of the Otherworld series, Haunted is well written, the main characters are interesting and the dialogue flows smoothly, but with all the dimension jumping, time travel and random bit characters that kept popping up, the story never really came together for me. But, for those wanting to know more about Savannah's real mother, you probably don't want to miss Haunted, although I do think this is one book in the series that could be skipped without missing too much. Even though this wasn't my favourite Women of the Otherworld story, I'm already onto Broken, the 6th book in the series, and am thoroughly enjoying it!

5.0étoiles sur 5 Her Best Book, Déc 7 2008
Par Jamieson Villeneuve "Author at Large" (Ottawa Ontario Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Haunted (Mass Market Paperback)
In the fifth installment of the best selling "Women of the Otherworld" series, we are treated to a new narrator. Armstrong, who never does the same thing twice, gave us a Werewolf as the narrator for the first two books in the series: "Bitten" and "Stolen." Then she switched focus to a Witch in "Dime Store Magic" and "Industrial Magic." Now, the focus changes once more and in "Haunted," we are introduced to Eve Levine: former witch and supernatural super power, now a ghost.

Eve Levine first appeared in "Industrial Magic," but now we get to know Eve better, up close and personalAs a dead witch, Eve still holds a lot of power. Part demon, part human, there isn't a lot that can phase Eve; except of course the inability to speak with her daughter, Savannah. Not being able to be with her daughter on the mortal plane, to hold her and comfort her, is a constant reminder of the life she leads.

Still, she is able to look in on her from time to time. Eve's world is turned upside down when she is summoned by the Fates. They want to call in a favour she owes them; previously, the Fates helped save Paige and Lucas, Savannah's guardians, from death. Now they want Eve to repay the favour.

The Fates need Eve's help with catching the Nix, a demi-demon who inhabits the bodies of people on the verge of killing. The Nix gives those people that added push in order to help them carry out murder. Where there is murder, there is chaos, the stuff that the Nix thrives on. The Nix escaped her afterlife hell after centuries of confinement. She is out in the world again and will kill soon.

Eve agrees, never one to let a promise slide. But things are going to be more difficult than she could have imagined. She is given some help on her quest to find the Nix, however, in the form of an angel. Together, they must find the Nix before she kills again. Eve's world will never be the same.

For the Nix knows that someone is on her trail and will strike at all and everyone that Eve holds dear!Each book in the series can be read as a stand alone novel, but the connections are there in each novel to connect the series.

While you may think that the change of narrator from book to book may be difficult to keep up with, it's far from jarring. In fact, that's what keeps the series so fresh and new. We're introduced to different characters in each of the books, only to have them pop up with their own story.

Paige Winterbourne, for example, first made an appearance in "Stolen" only to later appear in "Dime Store Magic." The change in narrator gives us a chance to delve into other characters' minds and gives us a better impression of how far and wide the Otherworld stretches. Each novel gives us a different perspective on the Otherworld, seeing it through different eyes.

"Haunted" is, by far, the best of the series so far. My plot summary barely scratched the surface on the fantastic and amazing things that go on within the pages. It is a supernatural thrill ride, a ghost love story and a white knuckled thriller that keeps you in suspense until the last page.

An amazing addition to the "Women of the Otherworld" series, "Haunted" shows us a world that we cannot begin to imagine and which we will never want to leave.
