I'll be honest. I was never really interested in Jaime Vegas as a character. But still, I had some hopes that she would manage to win me over once she became more independent. After all, she even had Jeremy there to help her. Sadly, though, she only ended up proving herself to be even more unbearable than I initially thought.

The plot of the story wasn't actually that bad. In fact, it could have been quite eerily compelling. However, Jaime's lack of real power was a major hindrance. Having read "The Summoning" by John Grisham before "No Humans Involved" by Kelley Armstrong, I had the advantage of being introduced to an incredibly powerful, albeit very young, necromancer. Jaime's power seems like a mere parlor trick in comparison.

Furthermore, there were far too many unnecessary details about Jaime's photo shoot that served no real purpose except to remind readers that the star of this book was Jaime Vegas, not Eve or Hope who helped her throughout much of the story. More often than not, Jaime was only there to talk about her figure, her slutty clothes, and her flirting skills with her co-stars. Oh, and to put on a one-man show to try to entice Jeremy into something. Since when does Jaime have this kind of bravado? She could hardly talk to Jeremy without blushing, and now suddenly she's doing this for his viewing pleasure? Come on.

I wish I could say that despite Jaime's lack of appeal, Jeremy more than made up for it, as I was hoping he would. But he didn't. In fact, I couldn't find the Jeremy I know and love anywhere in this book. He too behaved completely out of character, and I just couldn't understand why he came to see Jaime in the first place, or why she even invited him. The book never mentions the motivations behind either of their actions.

I'm incredibly disappointed in Armstrong for this one. It read like a clichéd story of a damsel in distress who turns into a saucy witch, which is exactly the kind of thing I go out of my way to avoid. I think I will stick to the Pack and Chloe Sanders from now on.

I have an absolute passion for Kelley Armstrong’s Women of the Otherworld series. Every time I manage to get my hands on a book from this series, I am overjoyed to dive right in. However, when it came to No Humans Involved, I must admit that I had mixed feelings before starting it. I truly love the series and was eager to see how the story would unfold, but I wasn't entirely sure how I felt about our lead character, Jaime. While she had piqued my interest in the other books, I had no idea what to expect from her as the main protagonist.

As it turns out, my concerns were completely unfounded. I absolutely adored Jaime as the main character, and her story was truly wonderful. It had all the intricate layers that one has come to expect from a Kelley Armstrong novel, all the goodness that makes a Women of the Otherworld book so captivating, and more than enough to keep me thoroughly entertained from start to finish. In fact, I enjoyed this book much more than I had initially anticipated. It wasn't just good; it was seriously outstanding.

In fact, I can't help but hope that we get to see a lot more of the characters from this book in the future installments of the series. I was so impressed with the development of both Jaime and Jeremy, and I really渴望 more of their story. To be honest, I loved their development so much that they have now taken the second place on my list of favorite couples in this series. I still have a soft spot for Paige and Lucas, but Jeremy alone was almost enough to push this couple into first place.

Without a doubt, this was a brilliant addition to the series.

Kelly Armstrong has yet another hit on her hands!!! It is an absolute smashing success!

This talented author has once again managed to capture the hearts and imaginations of readers with her latest work. Her unique storytelling ability and vivid characters have drawn people in from all over.

The book has received rave reviews from critics and fans alike. It has been praised for its engaging plot, seamless writing, and unexpected twists. Armstrong's attention to detail and ability to create a fully immersive world is truly remarkable.

With this latest success, Kelly Armstrong has solidified her place as one of the top authors in the industry. Her fans are eagerly anticipating her next release, and there is no doubt that it will be another masterpiece.

This is one of my absolute favourites in the series. It's not only the first book in the series with Jaime, a necromancer, as the narrator, but also the first where Jeremy isn't sidelined due to his Alpha status. I adore this book for multiple reasons. Firstly, it's where Jaime and Jeremy get together as a couple. Through Jaime, we get to see a side of Jeremy that Clay and Elena don't show us. With Jaime, he can let his guard down a little and just be Jeremy, not the all-powerful Alpha.

It was also great to see Jaime leading an investigation. It involved ghosts, her specialty, and human magic, which is unheard of and considered a myth in the supernatural world. However, the dark side of the story emerges as the magic being cast requires the killing of children to use the ashes of their organs for spells. This is truly a heinous act.

The book is a turning point for Jaime in other ways too. Besides the investigation and her new relationship, she comes to terms with many personal issues regarding her power and career. She realizes she wants to do more to help ghosts and decides against moving into television, which was a throwback to her mother's influence. She also has a change of heart about ghosts, realizing that maybe her nan was right when she told her to ignore their requests. Now, she decides that while she can't help them all, she can listen more and talk, and perhaps pass on a message when possible.

Jaime and Jeremy are one of my favorite couples. Jaime knows Jeremy well enough to let him make the decision about their relationship, and she's patient while waiting for him, although she does tease him now and then. I love how she makes him lose control near the end, showing another side to him. Many people assumed Jeremy was gay or celibate, but I think he was just too much of a gentleman to kiss and tell. Also, his responsibility to the pack prevented him from having girlfriends before.

I think Jeremy is lucky to have Jaime because she understands his duties to the pack and is willing to have a long-distance, sporadic relationship with him. And Jaime is lucky too because Jeremy will be able to accept and understand her work commitments and constant touring. Additionally, they both have had bad parents who made their childhoods difficult, so they can relate to each other on that level. Despite their differences, they are truly a good match. This book is definitely a favorite read, right after Bitten and Industrial Magic!

A less "dark" tone than the previous ones, yet a story just as dramatic... Perhaps because it takes place in LA?

It was nice to reunite with Jaime and Jeremyyyyyyy. Thanks to him and Eve, Jaime gains confidence in herself and shows that she is just as capable of defending herself and investigating (at a certain level anyway lol). They are both cute and I would have liked their relationship to be more developed, but it remains consistent with what and who Jeremy is.

The author introduces a new character, Hope, a semi-demon. I can't wait to read her story especially since she has a particular family and her hypothetical hero has great potential! (I loved that which was emerging and seeing his turnaround!)

This is the next instalment from Kelley Armstrong, and this time it is Jaime Vegas’s turn.

As the necromancer in the series, expect ghosts, and lots of them! We follow Jaime as she is invited to be on a TV show with the aim to talk to Marilyn Monroe. Jaime was introduced as a character a few books ago and I actually warmed to her straight away. I was hoping we would get one based on her as a character.

I think this book in the series compliments the collection perfectly. It’s lovely to finally get a story from Jaime. I find Jaime more relatable than the other characters in the series. Mainly because she is a total girly girl and does not let her gift hinder her appearance.

The other characters are more into combat and so you wouldn’t find a heel or skirt on any of them. So it is refreshing to find her meddling her way through the supernatural goings-on in a glamorous way.

Talking of combat, as you can imagine, there is not so much of that in this book. If action is what you’re after, this will likely be your least favourite. That’s not to say the book is lacking of all types of action. Things definitely warm up in this one. Enter Jeremy. Jeremy is involved heavily in this fantasy and focuses a lot on his and Jaime’s relationship. You will certainly get slightly hot under the collar. Who knew Jaime was a sultry sexpot amongst other things?

Overall, this did take me a lot longer to read than anticipated. It was a lot more passive and so the pages weren’t turned quite as fast as the others have been. I am hoping we see more of Jaime. I expect big things from her. It’s a lovely book in the series and I do hope you enjoy it, even though it is a bit more laid-back than what we are used to!

Another nice read from Kelley Armstrong.

I really enjoyed delving deeper into Jamie's character. She is truly an interesting and complex individual, and I had a great deal of curiosity to learn more about her story. I have a particular fondness for all of the werewolves in the series, and Jeremy's presence in this story only enhanced my enjoyment. As the series progresses, we witness the growth of Jamie and Jeremy's friendship, and it becomes clear that Jamie desires something more from Jeremy. However, she is also unsure of what Jeremy truly wants from her, if anything beyond the existing friendship. Jeremy's character is extremely guarded, and he reveals very little through his moods or expressions. I am truly glad to see this friendship evolving to the next level.

The main focus of this mystery is that Jamie encounters ghosts who are able to touch her, yet she cannot see or hear them clearly. Normally, Jamie has the ability to see and communicate with the dead, but she has never been physically touched by them before. This reversal of the norm causes her to question what has happened to these souls. Jamie understands that these trapped souls are in need of her help to be set free. In order to achieve this, she must uncover what transpired in their final moments, what is holding them here, and preventing them from crossing over. And most importantly, she must figure out why they can touch her but not be seen or heard.

This is a great story, and I am now eagerly moving on to the next book in the series.

I am currently completely obsessed with this series.

I simply cannot put it down, not even for a single second.

Although I have a plethora of things to do, I keep postponing them just so that I can continue reading it.

In this installment, we finally get to read about Jaime and Jeremy.

I had been eagerly anticipating this book as everyone kept telling me that it was the best in the series so far, and I just had to get to it quickly.

Now, I can only say that I am devastated that I finished it so fast, but it was so good that I simply could not control myself, lol.

I had been longing to know more about Jeremy since book 1, so once I got to this book, I was so excited that I could not contain it.

And Jaime ended up being a terrific heroine.

Who would have thought that there was so much more about her that we didn't know?

But there is so much more to each of the books in this series than just the heroes and heroines.

It's all about this amazing new world that the author has created.

The way she describes all the species and allows us to read about them all in the same series... there are no words to explain how much I love this series.

If you haven't read it yet, you must.

4.5

I have to admit that I was not as excited and thrilled with the last couple of books in the Otherworld series as I truly desired to be. There was something that seemed to be lacking, perhaps a certain spark or the ability to fully engage me on a deeper level.

However, this latest installment in the series completely blew me away. I absolutely loved it from start to finish. The story was captivating, filled with unexpected twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat. The characters were well-developed and their relationships added an extra layer of depth and emotion to the narrative.

I found myself completely immersed in the Otherworld, unable to put the book down. It was a truly enjoyable and satisfying read that reignited my love for this series. I can't wait to see what the author has in store for us next.

Jeremyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

This is a rather unique and perhaps somewhat playful review. The name "Jeremyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy" stands out, with all those "y's" adding an element of emphasis or maybe a touch of humor.

The parentheses with "oui, c'est ma review, bisous" which means "yes, this is my review, kisses" in French, gives an international and perhaps affectionate flavor to the whole thing.

It makes one wonder who this Jeremy is and what the review is actually about. Maybe it's a review of a product, a service, or even a person. The use of the French phrase adds an interesting cultural twist and makes the review more memorable.

Overall, this short review leaves a lasting impression with its unique name and the added French touch.

Although I initially thought this book was a bit longer than necessary, I ended up really enjoying it.

Two of my absolute favorite characters in the series thus far, Jeremy and Jaime, are present in this installment. I have a particular fondness for the whole concept of necromancy, and it's truly fascinating to witness Jaime's interactions with "ghosts". The moments when there is whispering and patting add an extra layer of intrigue and mystery.

The two main characters in the story are extremely well-matched, and the build-up of their relationship is completely engrossing. It keeps you on the edge of your seat, eager to see how their story will unfold. Overall, despite its length, this book has managed to capture my attention and leave me looking forward to the next one in the series.

A Fantastic Addition to the Series

Jamie Vegas, the necromancer, finds herself on a set where something truly terrible has occurred. What remains is horrific, leaving her tied up in a dangerous and deadly situation. She has no choice but to call in her friends for assistance. One of them, Jeremy Danvers, the werewolf and Pack Alpha, arrives with more than just help. There is a palpable hint of romance in the air for these two, and it unfolds in a wonderful, slow, and sexy process.

They work together, with some additional help, to assist the souls left behind. In this installment, we also learn more about several characters in the series. Do not miss this book! There are even some teases for the future series, such as the mystery of the symbols Jeremy received from his mother. I am literally chewing my nails in anticipation of reading the next book. Each book in the series builds upon the previous one, leading to something that just keeps getting better. It's a purely enjoyable mind vacation for me.
