Kelley Armstrong knows how to develop characters, drama and suspense. I usually know who done it so to speak, but in this No Humans Involved, I continued to be involved throughout the entire book. I like sex as well as the next person however, I loved the non graphic, yet totally illustrated interactions between the two main characters. I enjoyed how the plot just kept getting thicker and thicker with no real give aways and I believe Kelley Armstrong remained loyal to her characters personalities. I thought the Angelique Grady character was underdeveloped somewhat and almost useless to the plot. Seems like she was a throwaway character at best. I think I would have liked her to have a little more substance and a possible future development in the scheme of things. I thought the story line followed through and by the end of the book finished the original plot, yet left unsaid situations between the main characters for a later developing saga. Good Job! Enjoyed the book throughly.Read full review
This is the 7th book in the Otherworld series; (1) Bitten (2) Stolen (3) Dime Store Magic (4) Industrial Magic (5) Haunted (6) Broken (7) No Humans Involved and the 8th book which comes out in April 2008; Personal Demon. There are also more stories in this series on line and in anthologies, check out Armstrong's web site for reading order of the online stories. I've grown attached to all of the characters in these books and would recomend the series to anyone who enjoys the paranormal. The web site lists this series as a Paranormal Suspense, but there are romances interwoven in each story. One thing that is different about this series is that each book is written (narrated) by a different character... told from their point of view. The series isn't strictly werewolf like the first book, but introduces many different paranormal characters. And the characters do reappear in many of the other books in the series.Read full review
BACK OF BOOK SAYS: IT'S the most anticipated reality tv even of the season. 3 spiritualists gathered together in one house to raise the ghost of marilyn monroe. for celebrity medium jamie vegas, its' her best shot at the celebrity holy grail: a tv show of her own. because unlike her colleagues who are more style than substance, jaime is the real thing. ok, i have to tell you in my own personal opinion this book IS SO VERY VERY VERY FUSTRATING.............. here you have waited SEVERAL BOOKS TO FINALLY GET JAIME AND JEREMY TOGETHER and nothing,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, i wanted to scream. the book is a very very big TEASE.....................
I really enjoy the novels written by Kelley Armstrong. It still strikes me as ironic that witches, werewolves, demons and all kinds of paranormals are still bound by some of the very restrictions of the construct of 21st century Western society. Oh, Like: the need to pay mortgages, taxes, using flipcharts or powerpoint at meetings, shopping and hoping that the one you fancy feels the same and how to find out without losing face. Her characters are easy to relate to. I find them a little bit sassy without turning each kiss into a full blown sexual encounter. Not that I mind all the time, but it can be a bit much. Her scenes are fun. Her characters have faults and foibles and interesting plots that have me returning again and again. I just wish Kelley could turn them out even faster, well then the plots would hardly be as good, or the characters fun/There is horror too and sadness but you live it as her characters do.Read full review
This is an excellent book. The entire Women of the Otherworld Series is worth owning and reading over and over again.
