Women of the Otherworld #7

No Humans Involved

In her acclaimed Women of the Otherworld series, bestselling author Kelley Armstrong creates a present day in which humans unwittingly coexist with werewolves, witches, and other supernatural beings. Now, in this spellbinding new novel, a beautiful necromancer who can see ghosts must come to terms with her power—and with an evil she never thought possible.

It’s the most anticipated reality television event of the season: three spiritualists gathered together in one house to raise the ghost of Marilyn Monroe. For celebrity medium Jaime Vegas, it is to be her swan song—one last publicity blast for a celebrity on the wrong side of forty. But unlike her colleagues, who are more show than substance, Jaime is the real thing.

Reluctant to upstage her fellow spiritualists, Jaime tries to suppress her talents, as she has done her entire life. But there is something lurking in the maze of gardens behind the house: a spirit without a voice. And it won’t let go until somehow Jaime hears its terrible story. For the first time in her life, Jaime Vegas understands what humans mean when they say they are haunted. Distraught, Jaime looks to fellow supernatural Jeremy Danvers for help.

As the touches and whispers from the garden grow more frantic, Jaime and Jeremy embark on an investigation into a Los Angeles underworld of black magic and ritual sacrifice. When events culminate in a psychic showdown, Jaime must use the darkest power she has to defeat a shocking enemy—one whose malicious force comes from the last realm she expected. . . .

In a world whose surface resembles our own, Kelley Armstrong delivers a stunning alternate reality, one where beings of the imagination live, love, and fight a never-ending battle between good and evil.

About the author

Kelley Armstrong

297 books34.2k followers
Kelley Armstrong has been telling stories since before she could write. Her earliest written efforts were disastrous. If asked for a story about girls and dolls, hers would invariably feature undead girls and evil dolls, much to her teachers' dismay. All efforts to make her produce "normal" stories failed.

Today, she continues to spin tales of ghosts and demons and werewolves, while safely locked away in her basement writing dungeon. She's the author of the NYT-bestselling "Women of the Otherworld" paranormal suspense series and "Darkest Powers" young adult urban fantasy trilogy, as well as the Nadia Stafford crime series. Armstrong lives in southwestern Ontario with her husband, kids and far too many pets.

Vaya aburrimiento de libro. Mi interés en él era básicamente porque era de Jeremy, el Alfa de la Manada y del personaje que menos sabemos de toda la saga. Así que tenía curiosidad de conocerlo mejor, de ver si se revelaba algo más de él.

Spoiler: no ha sido así.

La trama ha sido aburrida y no me ha interesado lo más mínimo. Jaime sin más, Jeremy sin más, todos los personajes sin más.

Vaya, que no me ha gustado.

Y sí, también me interesaba porque el libro anterior acabó en un punto muy interesante para Elena y Clay . En realidad, esto era lo que más me interesaba saber y tampoco he conseguido nada de lo que quería 😭

Una cosa que me ha chirriado, además, es que en los seis libros anteriores ponen al Alfa como el ser más importante de la vida del resto de la manada, que no puede ir solo y sin protección, que la vida de él va antes que la de los demás, etc. etc. y aquí… nada de eso. Y no lo he entendido. Entiendo que Clay y Elena ahora tienen cosas mayores de las que preocuparse, pero teniendo en cuenta el comportamiento de ambos en los demás libros con respecto a Jeremy… pues no me cuadra.

En cuanto a la relación de Jaime y Jeremy, más de lo mismo. Pasa de 0 a 100 en nada. O sea, que Jamie se ha tirado 4 años suspirando por Jeremy, sin que este dé señales de interés… y entonces, PUM. Se están besando. No me he creído la evolución de la relación

Desde mi punto de vista, es un libro completamente prescindible. No sé si en los siguientes libros se hará mención de los acontecimientos de este, pero si lo mencionan creo que se entenderá fácilmente. Yo hubiera preferido saberlo y pasar directamente al siguiente, porque ya me pasó lo mismo con el libro de Eve (el quinto, si no recuerdo mal).
