What can I say?

This series is simply a delight to read! I truly relished the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of both Jaime and Jeremy.

Jeremy, in particular, has proven to be quite different from what I initially thought based on my first impression. However, it has been wonderful to obtain more in-depth insights into his character.

One rather amusing aspect is the fact that, apparently, if you happen to be a celebrity necromancer, you are always impeccably dressed as if ready for a romantic encounter! Ha ha! It's just too hilarious!

Nevertheless, I would highly recommend reading this series regardless. :)

You're bound to have a great time and discover many interesting and entertaining aspects within its pages.

My Summary: Jamie has always been clear about her career goals. When she gets an invitation to co-star on a spiritualist reality TV show, she believes she is close to achieving her dream of having her own show. Alongside three other spiritualists, who actually lack real powers, Jamie is tasked with summoning the spirit of Marilyn Monroe and uncovering the truth behind her untimely death.

However, things don't unfold as expected. Shortly after unpacking, Jamie senses that something is amiss with the house. There are troubled spirits present, but they refuse to communicate with her. Instead, they torment her by poking, prodding, and pinching her when she is alone. Disturbed by this, Jamie reaches out to her numerous contacts in the supernatural world, determined to discover what happened to these spirits and how to release them from limbo. But what she uncovers is far more terrifying than anyone could have imagined.

My Thoughts: If you are a regular reader of my blog, you know that Kelley Armstrong is undoubtedly one of my all-time favorite authors. Her writing is impeccable, and her stories are always filled with action, mystery, and romance. It is truly hard not to enjoy her novels, and "No Humans Involved" was no exception. I adored Jamie's "voice" in this book. In previous works and from the perspectives of other characters, she seemed a bit ditzy, but not here. In "No Humans Involved," we get to see just how badass Jamie Vegas can be.

I particularly loved the romance element! Poor Jamie has been secretly in love with Jeremy for years, but he has always been a bit oblivious... until now. It appears that Jeremy has feelings for Jamie too, and in this novel, we witness the development of the relationship between these two characters who seem to be polar opposites.

Final Thoughts: If you are a fan of supernatural romance and mystery, you should definitely check out this series from the reigning queen of supernatural fiction! You will not be disappointed.

This is the seventh installment in Armstrong's Women of the Otherworld series.

This time around, we have the opportunity to experience the thrilling action through the eyes of Jamie Vegas.

While filming for a TV show, Jamie discovers that the garden of the house where the filming is taking place appears to be inhabited by child ghosts. As the theory of human sacrifice for magical power is further unraveled, Jamie realizes that she needs all the help she can get.

This book can be read as a standalone, but readers might find themselves a bit confused by all the names that are brought up. This is because we encounter a plethora of different characters from Armstrong's rich and diverse world, including Paige, Lucas, Savannah, Eve, Kristof, Hope, Karl, and of course, Jeremy.

Jamie has been infatuated with Jeremy for four years, and it's truly hilarious to see how the professional flirter transforms into a 14-year-old girl in the presence of the werewolf Alpha.

The reason I have a penchant for Armstrong's Women of the Otherworld series is that we get to view her world from so many different perspectives. Granted, not every main character has the same depth or allure. Elena is my personal favorite, and a significant reason behind that is the palpable angst between her and Clay. I adored Eve Levine because of her humor and sassy mouth, while her relationship with Kristof and her need for Savannah revealed her vulnerable side.

Jamie is a show girl who has endeavored to turn an unhappy life with an unloving and demanding mother into a meaningful and purposeful existence. She possesses strong powers, but these don't always prove useful in battle. This makes Jamie seem like the muddler who is constantly in need of protection. However, this book demonstrates that Jamie is more than capable of handling her own.

Overall, it's a very good, entertaining, and solid read by Kelley Armstrong.

For some reason, I have this strange longing to be able to talk to ghosts. I'm well aware of the common retorts like "well if you actually had that power you'd hate it" or "well ghosts don't exist" and so on. But here, I'm talking about a theoretical concept.

Just imagining being able to communicate with someone from a different time period is truly fascinating. It would be so enlightening to gain their perspective and knowledge. However, there are also some drawbacks. The idea of never being alone and potentially having perverted spirits watching you change is quite off-putting. Ugh, never mind.

Jaime in the story makes the ability to talk to ghosts seem both livable and cool. But at the same time, you can clearly see the damage it does to her. She can't help all the lost souls, and she can't even punch a rude or gross ghost in the face. At least she can have conversations with them.

Until one day, on the set of her big film break as a spiritualist (when in reality she is a necromancer, and she has a great cover job), Jaime starts to feel a pinch, a poke, and a grab. But she can't see anything. She hears whisper-less words, yet there is still nothing visible.

Her crush of four years proves to be useful as she tries to figure out what exactly is going on. And so does a chaos-loving half-demon (who is also our next narrator).

Kelley Armstrong's storytelling in this new heroine book of the glorious series of supernatural ladies is truly outstanding. The writing is simply glorious. This book is a 100% winner. It doubles the love I had for the last three books. It's probably my favorite since "Stolen" or "Bitten".

Jaime is truly marvelous. I really wish there were more books with her in the lead. Necromancers are so interesting to read about.

What about this book?

3.5 Stars

Finally, we have Jamie and Jeremy! Hallelujah! Praise be!

Although this romance isn't as steamy and hot as Clay and Elena's, it is still well worth the read. The build-up is a slow and steady burn, but it is truly wonderful when it all finally comes together. We get to witness a light and humorous side of Jeremy that we haven't seen before, and I absolutely loved it!

I am now extremely anxious to read Karl & Hope's story as well!

I have a deep love for the werewolves in this series. What can I say? They add an element of excitement and mystery that keeps me hooked from beginning to end. The author does an excellent job of creating a world full of unique characters and thrilling adventures. I can't wait to see what else this series has in store for me.

A necromancer? Yes please!

Armstrong has truly outdone herself with this installment. I find myself completely and utterly addicted to this remarkable series. The female characters are not only strong but also complex and captivating. The combination of paranormal romance and pulse-pounding action is simply irresistible. It keeps me on the edge of my seat from start to finish.

This book is hands down the best in the series. It has everything I could ask for and more. The romance is sweet and passionate, and the action scenes are thrilling and intense. I cannot recommend this book highly enough.

My Rating: 5+ stars. I will definitely be eagerly awaiting the next book in the series.

Easily my favorite book of the series!

This particular book holds a special place in my heart. It has a captivating storyline that keeps me engaged from the very first page. The characters are well-developed and their personalities shine through, making it easy to form a connection with them. The author's writing style is vivid and descriptive, painting a clear picture in my mind as I read. I find myself completely immersed in the world that has been created. Every twist and turn in the plot surprises me and keeps me on the edge of my seat. It's not just a book, but an experience. I can't wait to pick it up again and relive all the excitement. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good story. It truly is a gem among the series.

Meh... I REALLY wanted more from the plot-line with Jeremy. He has been a favorite from book one.

However, I was disappointed in the storyline for several reasons. Firstly, I didn't feel any real chemistry between he and Jaime. Their relationship seemed rather forced and lacked the spark that I was hoping for.

Secondly, he never got his HEA (Happily Ever After). At the end of the story, he's not much farther in that department than he was in the beginning. It's a pity because Jeremy is such a great character, and I was really rooting for him to find true love and happiness.

I hope that in future installments of the series, the author will give Jeremy the storyline he deserves and allow him to finally achieve his HEA.

I've been eagerly anticipating Jamie's story ever since reading Industrial Magic. It's rather difficult for me to precisely articulate why, but I'm fairly certain it has something to do with the rather embarrassing crush she harbors on the werewolf alpha, Jeremy. I mean, one would expect such crushes from young and inexperienced heroines, but Jamie is a 44-year-old woman. She is sexy and confident in herself... well, except when it comes to Jeremy. In his presence, she transforms into an endearing fool, and it's simply impossible for me not to cheer for her.

Finally, after four long years of pining for the man, Jamie is at last getting some alone time with Jeremy. He's coming to visit her on the set of the supernatural TV special she's working on. Jamie is secluded in a house with two other so-called "psychics" in an attempt to解开 Marilyn Monroe's death mysteries. Of course, the other two aren't necromancers like Jamie, so they don't sense the strange pull emanating from the garden. As Jamie opens her senses, she realizes that she has stumbled upon something truly horrifying... that the garden is teeming with the tattered spirits of child ghosts. So she and Jeremy join forces to investigate who killed the kids and what dark magic has weakened their spirits.

Joining the two is half-demon Hope. (She was first introduced in a short story titled "Chaotic" in the anthology Dates From Hell. She's sort of a love interest for the werewolf Karl whom we met in Bitten. It's relatively easy to pick up the essentials of their relationship in the course of this book, but I can imagine that without the short story, one might feel as if they're missing something.) Hope utilizes her contacts as a tabloid journalist to assist them in gauging the local magical community. And her participation sets her up as the narrator for the upcoming book.

The murder storyline was extremely dark. But it was different because the real villains here were ordinary human monsters and their victims, the most vulnerable among us. I don't think I've ever wanted to see certain folks meet their demise in this series more than I wanted to see this group bite the dust.

But let's return to Jamie and Jeremy. I felt as if I was about to burst with anticipation waiting for the big payoff between the two of them. And when it finally occurred, I craved more! I'm aware that Kelley Armstrong isn't an erotica author, but I could have relished a few in-depth pages of steamy description, if you catch my drift. The tension between these two has been building for ages! I wasn't overly thrilled with how they left things, although I understand it. I just hope to see more of them in the future. 4 1/2 stars.

Jaime and Jeremy are truly the cutest fools on this planet.

I have this distinct feeling that I've been eagerly waiting for them to get together for what seems like ages.

But truth be told, I simply love Jaime in general. Her character has had such an amazing and great arc.

Moreover, I had the wonderful opportunity to meet Hope, and I know I will love her forever.

All in all, this is a really GOOD BOOK. It is definitely one of my favorites of the series so far.

It has all the elements that make a story engaging and enjoyable. The characters are well-developed, and the plot keeps you on the edge of your seat.

I can't wait to see what else this series has in store for us.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good romance with a touch of mystery and adventure.

You won't be disappointed!

I'll be reading some more in the series.

This series has truly captured my interest and imagination. Each book in the series seems to open up a new world of adventure and discovery.

The characters are well-developed and engaging, making it easy for me to become invested in their stories.

I can't wait to see what new adventures await me as I continue to read through the series.

I'm sure that there will be many more exciting moments and surprises in store.

Reading this series has become a favorite pastime of mine, and I look forward to every new installment.
