Synopsis

Smart, sexy, and supernatural, the men and women of the Otherworld—a realm of witches, ghosts, and werewolves—live unseen among us. For the most part, mere mortals never suspect their existence … and that's the way they want it. But now a reckless killer has torn down the wall between our worlds, trapping one very vulnerable—and very mortal—woman in the supernatural cross fire.Robyn Peltier moved to Los Angeles shortly after her young husband's sudden and unexpected death. Her hope was that her hectic new life as the PR consultant to a spoiled celebutante would provide a distraction from her grief. But when her client is murdered, Robyn finds herself on the run as the prime suspect. And as more bodies pile up around her, it seems only her friend, tabloid journalist Hope Adams, is on her side.But Hope and her somewhat spooky boyfriend Karl know it's just a matter of time before Robyn is caught, for she's gotten herself in the middle of a turf war between two Otherworld races who'll spill any amount of blood—human and inhuman—to protect what they consider theirs for eternity. The only way Hope can save her friend is by letting her enter a world she's safer knowing nothing about.

Goodreads review by Wren (fablesandwren) on June 23, 2021

This is definitely my least favorite of the series, though I never thought to stop reading and it had my attention ENOUGH. I wasn't like dying to know more like most of Kelley Armstrong's books. We have way too many points of views in this one. We are used to having only one, and the last book we got......more

Goodreads review by ~Sofia~ on March 15, 2019

Oh boy, there is a tonne going on in this one! I love this series, at first I was hesitant but actually they are all really good books.

Goodreads review by Briar's Reviews on March 06, 2020

Kelley Armstrong has always been one of my fave authors - Bitten, Canadian, Virals - she's just the best! I've yet to read a book by her that I didn't enjoy, and then I picked up Living with the Dead. Robyn comes to LA (her husband has recently passed away), and she gets herself into a pickle. She's......more

Goodreads review by Mel on April 21, 2010

In this ninth book in Armstrong's Women of the Otherworld series the author brings us something different: the protagonist is a non-supernatural. Robyn Peltier is a PR consultant with no special powers or abilities what so ever, well… except maybe attracting bad luck. She does know how to pick her f......more

Goodreads review by MissM on November 25, 2008

I really like this series overall and look forward to them, but this one was just a miss for me. The main character of the book really wasn't a supernatural at all. And the jumpy POV changes made the book feel choppy and lacked cohesion. I liked the Detective character that was introduced but overal......more
