Readers around the world have fallen for Kelley Armstrong's
intoxicating, sensual and wicked tales of the paranormal, in which
demons and witches, werewolves and vampires collide - often
hilariously, sometimes violently - with everyday life. In
Armstrong's first six novels, Elena, Paige and Eve have had their
way with us. Now get ready for Jaime Vegas, the luscious, lovelorn
and haunted necromancer. . .
Jaime, who knows a thing or two about showbiz, is on a television
shoot in Los Angeles when weird things start to happen. As a woman
whose special talent is raising the dead, her threshold for
weirdness is pretty high: she's used to not only seeing dead people
but hearing them speak to her in very emphatic terms. But for the
first time in her life - as invisible hands brush her skin,
unintelligible fragments of words are whispered into her ears, and
beings move just at the corner of her eye-she knows what humans
mean when they talk about being haunted.
She is determined to get to the bottom of these manifestations, but
as she sets out to solve the mystery she has no idea how scary her
investigation will get, or to what depths ordinary humans will sink
in their attempts to gain supernatural powers. As she digs into the
dark underside of Los Angeles, she'll need as much Otherworld help
as she can get in order to survive, calling on her personal angel,
Eve, and Hope, the well-meaning chaos demon. Jeremy, the alpha
werewolf, is also by her side offering protection. And, Jaime
hopes, maybe a little more than that.
""As I knelt on the cobblestones to begin the ritual, I opened not
some ancient leather pouch, but a Gucci make-up bag. . . .
I know little about the geography and theology of the afterlife,
but I do know that the worst spirits are kept secured, and my risk
of "accidentally" tapping into a hell dimension is next to nil.
Even if I do bring back some depraved killer's spirit, what can it
do to me? When you deprive someone of the ability to act in the
living world, he's pretty darned helpless. In death, even the worst
killer plummets from lethal to merely annoying.
Yet whatever had been trying to contact me apparently could cross
that barrier, could act in the living world. . .at least on me. I
added an extra helping of vervain to the censer.""
