I saw my true power. The darkest power. The greatest power.

Jaime Vegas, a stage performer and a necromancer, has built a relatively successful career with her live shows and less regular TV appearances as a'medium'. One day, she gets the opportunity to participate in a “reality” show with two other mediums, aiming to talk to Marilyn Monroe. Performing well could launch her own TV show. Unlike her co-stars, Jaime can truly communicate with the dead and see ghosts.

The show is located in a house in Brentwood, Hollywood, where the garden is haunted by a group of young children. Jaime can only sense their presence and touch, unable to see or talk to them like she usually does with other ghosts.

Jeremy Danvers, the Alpha of the Werewolf Pack and Jaime's love interest, is visiting her for a week. Together, they embark on a journey to solve the mystery of the children's deaths and why their spirits are trapped in that specific location. In the process, they find themselves in a life-or-death struggle with a tight-knit group of wannabe spell casters.

The attempts to solve the mystery are complicated by the relationship between Jaime and Jeremy. Jaime, usually confident and self-assured, gets flustered when it comes to Jeremy. She wants to take their relationship to the next level, which is sex, but is unsure if he feels the same way. Jeremy, on the other hand, has to balance his duties to his pack with his desire for a relationship with Jaime.

Jaime views necromancy as one of the lesser paranormal powers, constantly being hounded by ghosts with their last wishes. However, she gradually realizes that her ability is fearsome and comes to understand her place in both the supernatural and corporeal worlds.

I must admit that this is not the kind of book I would have chosen, but it was sent to me as a surprise by a fellow bookcrosser. After receiving it, I thought it would be rude not to give it a try. I was quietly surprised. I liked the author's writing style and felt that she managed to create a book full of action, emotion, sexiness, and suspense. This is the seventh book in the series, but I believe readers can pick it up and enjoy it, as I did, without having read the previous ones. Overall, it may be considered a bit of fluff, but it's still an enjoyable diversion.

I am not among those Armstrong fans who solely read the Women of the Otherworld series for the werewolves. I relish these books for their world-building and mysteries. Fortunately, in this aspect, No Humans Involved is a far superior book compared to its fillerifick/wish fulfillment predecessor - Broken.

At the heart of the story is Jaime Vegas, a necromancer first introduced in Dime Store Magic and who has been a recurring secondary character ever since. Jaime is in LA, participating in the filming of a documentary about contacting Marilyn Monroe's ghost, along with two other "supernaturalists." However, she is diverted from the shooting by a group of ghosts she accidentally encounters on the set. These ghosts are extremely insistent in their desire for Jaime to assist them, but she can't figure out what they want. The ghosts are unusual and nothing like what the necromancer has come across before - she can't see or communicate with them. Could it be that the ghosts are victims of some heinous paranormal experiment? Jaime has to enlist the help of almost every supernatural she knows to solve this mystery.

No Humans Involved is by no means a perfectly written book. It is Armstrong's tendency to attempt to make each of her books a kind of reunion of all her previously introduced characters. This book is no exception - there is an obligatory revisiting of Elena, Clay, the twins, Paige, Lucas, Robert, and the rest of the gang. Sometimes these cameos are crucial to the story, while other times they are unnecessary and only add some logistical confusion. In No Humans Involved, this revisiting is not as jarring as in, for example, Industrial Magic or Broken. In fact, I actually quite liked seeing Savannah and Eve again, and I am definitely eager to learn more about Hope and Karl in Personal Demon.

Overall, I enjoyed this 7th installment of Women of the Otherworld. No Humans Involved is a good blend of fast-paced adventure, great mythology, mystery, and smutty romance. Of course, this book is not on par with Bitten, and Jaime and Jeremy are not like Elena and Clay. But if you are a fan of Armstrong's non-werewolf books such as Industrial Magic and Haunted, I anticipate that you will also enjoy this book.

This book about Jaime, the necromancer, is slightly scarier compared to some of the others. It delves into Jaime's life, and I truly relished her perspective. What I liked was that she was a very normal character, despite the fact that she could see dead people. Moreover, she was an older woman, which added an interesting dimension to her character.

Another aspect that I really enjoyed was the development between Jaime's character and that of Jeremy, the Alpha werewolf. Their relationship had some very racey bits, which made the story even more engaging. The interactions between them were well-written and added a touch of excitement to the plot.

Overall, this book offered a unique and thrilling reading experience. The combination of Jaime's necromancy abilities, her normalcy as a character, and the developing relationship with Jeremy made it a captivating read. I would highly recommend it to fans of the paranormal genre who are looking for something a little different.

I am extremely happy to have read Jeremy's book. Well, actually, it's Jaime's book, but it can also be considered Jeremy's. After her pining after him for four long years, it was high time that something finally took place. I was certain that he wasn't dense and that he truly cared, but he had his valid reasons for holding back. Being the Pack Alpha comes with a great deal of responsibilities and being involved with him could pose a significant danger if other werewolves outside of the Pack decided to take advantage of that. Fortunately, they both made the decision to move forward despite the potential risks. They definitely had some scorching hot scenes and an abundance of passion. Most people wouldn't imagine that Jeremy could be so irresistibly smoldering, but damn, that is one incredibly hot wolf! He still remains my favorite among the men in this series, with Kristof a very close second.

Speaking of Kristof, he and Eve also get some page time in this installment. I absolutely loved seeing the two of them together. Especially in that second to last chapter, it brought tears to my eyes.

The case in this book involved some spirits that Jaime couldn't seem to make the usual contact with. She could partially hear them and feel them (which she really shouldn't be able to do!), but she couldn't see or hear them in the way she could with normal ghosts. As it turns out, they were children who were victims of human sacrifice and whose spirits had been drained.

The people behind this were some truly abhorrent individuals. Especially their ringleader. I was completely not expecting it to be that person. But when Jaime pieced it all together, it made perfect sense. The things that people will do for magic and power. And it was such insignificant magic! However, they ultimately got what they deserved.

I really enjoyed meeting Hope in this book and seeing Karl again. I have a feeling that I'll love Hope's book. It'll be interesting to see her find a balance in dealing with the chaos that she's attracted to. Those last few scenes that she was in were extremely freaky, but she's a good person at heart.

I also enjoyed all of the cameos, as usual. Especially seeing Aratron again. What a cool demon!

The Women of the Otherworld series is one that I am truly a die-hard fan of.

The women in this series are all drastically different from one another, yet they are all "strong" in their own unique ways. Initially, I was filled with a sense of fear that none of Armstrong's women would be able to live up to the remarkable Elena Michaels. However, Jamie Vegas has more than proven herself.

After following Eve, who was my least favorite of the lead women so far, I was a little bit concerned about just how great a lead Jamie Vegas would turn out to be. But as it turns out, I had absolutely nothing to worry about.

She is by far the most human of our protagonists to date. Although she clearly has a special ability, she often finds herself stuck in situations where she simply can't magic her way out. Resourceful, spunky, and determined, she is an incredibly powerful character. Yes, she does rely on others to help her out of sticky situations, and more often than not, it is men (or one particular man) who come to her rescue. But this has far less to do with gender and more to do with powers.

Speaking of which, Jamie's necromancy is much more than just a useful plot device, especially in No Humans Involved. It takes a moment towards the end that would otherwise be almost impactless and transforms it into something truly tragic. Of course, it is also the main driver of the plot, but her character builds and grows throughout the story, including her relationships.

As always, Armstrong has incorporated some solid twists and turns into the narrative (some better than others), and from start to finish, it is a wild and exciting ride.

Jaime Vegas is the Necromancer whom we have encountered and relished in previous books.

For some time now, she has been yearning for the werewolf pack alpha, Jeremy Danvers.

In this particular book, we witness the commencement of their romance. Jeremy keeps Jaime company on a TV set where she is communicating with ghosts.

During this time, they stumble upon a dark secret.

I chose to listen to the audiobook, and I must say it was a captivating experience.

The narrator did an excellent job of bringing the characters and the story to life.

The pacing was just right, and I found myself completely engrossed from start to finish.

Overall, I would rate this audiobook 4 out of 5. It was an enjoyable listen that kept me entertained and on the edge of my seat.

I look forward to listening to more from this author in the future.

I am still loving this series.

It has managed to capture my attention from the very beginning and has not let go.

The characters are well-developed and their stories are engaging.

I find myself constantly eager to see what will happen next.

The plot twists and turns keep me on the edge of my seat.

Each installment brings something new and exciting.

I also appreciate the attention to detail in the world-building.

It makes the fictional universe feel real and immersive.

Overall, this series is a must-read for anyone who enjoys a good story.

I can't wait to see what the future holds for these characters and their adventures.

Jaime Vegas, whom we first encountered in Industrial Magic, takes on the role of the narrator in this installment of the Women of the Otherworld series. As a necromancer, Jaime has the ability to communicate with the dead. In some literary works, such as Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake series, a necromancer's power lies in raising and controlling the dead, which is not the case for Jaime. While she is capable of raising the dead, it is not something she does regularly. In fact, it is in No Humans Involved that she raises her first corpse.
The story commences with Jaime being invited to participate in a television special centered around "spiritualists" who assert they can converse with the deceased. The producers of the show desire Jaime, along with two others, to conduct a séance to determine who or what caused Marilyn Monroe's death. Jaime is the sole truly "gifted" individual among the three. However, matters start to go awry when Jaime is harassed by a type of ghost she has never before encountered. With the assistance of Eve, Kristof, Jeremy, and a new character, Hope, Jaime comes to the aid of these ghosts.
No Humans Involved proved to be a more captivating read than the other books in the series. Armstrong delved deeper into the characters from previous installments, such as Jeremy. The reader gains a wealth of knowledge about Jeremy and the reasons behind his behavior.
At the risk of sounding overly enthusiastic, this series continues to improve with each successive book.

It keeps readers on the edge of their seats, eagerly turning the pages to discover what lies ahead.

The well-developed characters and engaging storylines make it a must-read for fans of the paranormal genre.

Please provide the article that needs to be rewritten and expanded so that I can help you.

So good!

Probably the fastest I've ever zipped through an audiobook because I just couldn't put it down!

Jamie is an outstanding heroine. She is a necromancer who initially feels less powerful than other supernaturals. However, in this book, she comes to the realization that her powers are of equal importance and that she may actually possess the darkest power of all.

Jeremy was my very first book crush in the Women of the Otherworld series when I began with Bitten years ago. Therefore, I absolutely LOVED seeing him in love here. He and Jamie form an adorable couple. There is an intriguing mystery left unsolved regarding the runes Jeremy draws. This mystery may be linked to his mother, whom he never really knew. I truly hope they solve that in a future story. Also, yay for more Jeremy/Jamie stories!

And Eve - the powerful ghost/witch who assists Jamie - is simply kickass awesome.

I was extremely looking forward to this book. At first, Jamie wasn't the one I thought I wanted to be with Jeremy, but surprisingly, it actually worked out well.

We also got to see Elena and Clay, which was really exciting. Yay!

This story was like zombies coming to life. It was really weird, but at the same time, it had me intrigued. However, it isn't my favorite among the books because the story was a bit too strange for my taste. Overall, it was still good. I really want more of Jeremy. I kind of feel that this book focused more on Elena and Clay rather than Jeremy and Jamie. I think we lost some of the romance between them.

The ending, though, was absolutely precious. OH MY Word! I definitely want more.

I also liked the narration. It added to the overall experience of the book.

I'm really looking forward to seeing what happens next in this series.

It's quite funny.

I deliberately postponed reading this particular one. The reason was that I was solely interested in Elena.

Moreover, perhaps a bit selfishly, I didn't want Jeremy to be in a relationship with anyone else.

However, years have passed, and now this book was included in the romance package. So, I decided to give it a listen.

Surprisingly, it turned out to be a decent read.

It wasn't Kelley's absolute best work, but it was far superior to a great many paranormal romance novels out there.

As for the romance aspect, it developed slowly, which was actually okay with me.

Jamie, the heroine, wasn't my favorite. But she had courage and that was a quality I liked.

Overall, it was a good read and I really didn't have any major complaints.

I'm glad I finally gave it a chance and discovered that it had its own charm and merits.
