THE CONTINUING ADVENTURES OF THE SMART, SEXY ? SUPERNATURAL ? WOMEN OF THE OTHERWORLD

Eve Levine ? half-demon, black witch and devoted mother ? has been dead for three years. She has a great house, an interesting love life and can?t be killed again ? which comes in handy when you?ve made as many enemies as Eve. Yes, the afterlife isn?t too bad ? all she needs to do is find a way to communicate with her daughter, Savannah, and she?ll be happy.

But fate ? or more exactly, the Fates ? have other plans. Eve owes them a favor, and they?ve just called it in. An evil spirit called the Nix has escaped from hell. She feeds on chaos and death, and is very good at persuading people to kill for her. The Fates want Eve to hunt her down before she does any more damage, but the Nix is a dangerous enemy ? previous hunters have been driven insane in the process. As if that?s not problem enough, the only way to stop her is with an angel?s sword. And Eve is no angel. . . .

How far would you go to protect those you love?

When Eve Levine (while alive, a witch not afraid of using Dark Magic to reach her goals and protect herself and her daughter Savannah) is called by the Fates to do them the favor owed (see Industrial Magic (Women of the Otherworld, Book 4)), she is taken by surprise. It seems that there is a nasty spirit out there - a demi-demon called the Nix - who has escaped from her hell dimension and is periodically possessing murderous young women, who only need a little encouragement to get their lethal tendencies going. Even more surprising, Eve finds herself teamed with an angel (Trsiel) to accomplish this.

While Eve and Trsiel race the clock to try to find the Nix before she causes more havoc, Eve also struggles with her feelings for Kris Nast, who is in the same Afterlife dimension and who is doing his best to convince her to try starting over with him. Kris is, however, concerned with her obsessive need to watch over Savannah and often calls her on this.

A fast-paced and fun read, "Haunted" is just kind of book that book-lovers can devour in a few hours. Eve's restlessness, impatience and dark sense of humor is balanced out by Kris' patience and the need Eve has to complete what she has started.

This series of books continues to be a joy to read. I do hope Ms. Armstrong keeps 'em coming for a good long while.

Loved It!

I am new to this author and this series. However, I have blown through five books in about a month (which is AMAZING as I have a 1-year-old at home) which means I gave valuable SLEEP TIME up to read them. The book was a great easy read with characters that you can't help but root for and villians you can't wait to see fail. Although I have a few more to read, I am already missing all the characters when I am done...

WARNING: This Book has Strong Female Characters

Eve Levine is a dead witch. Because she has broken all the rules, she expected to end up in a Hell for witches. But, to her surprise she finds herself in a supernatural holding place, if it is not heaven... it is definitely not hell.

Of course, Eve needs to be a superpower. She thwarts the Fates whenever she can... In the process, she finds herself indebted to them (the Fates). That is when the real story begins. Eve as supernatural bounty hunter for evil supernaturals.

Anyway, the story and the character are enjoyable. I started keeping Armstrong's books so that when I am out of reading material, I can re-read them. So sad. LOL

Haunted

Eve Levine is a ghost. In "Industrial Magic" she makes a deal with The Fates and, if Paige and Lucas are returned to life, she'll owe The Fates a favor. In "Haunted," they've decided to call it in.

What they want seems to be impossible. The Nix, a demi-demon, has accidentally been let loose in the world. For, oh, several hundred years. She's been nearly caught but has escaped. Eve's task is to track her down and bring her in, so to speak. She's scared witless but she isn't alone: she has the help of Kris (who is her daughter's father and the love of her life) and Tsriel, an angel.

The Afterlife, according to these books, is very different from what most of us think of as "Heaven." Eve encounters various things: a pirate's enclave and a school for poltergeists, for example. There is a version of what hell must be like but, in this case, was reserved for the worst among us: serial killers and like that.

The story goes back and forth between Nix and Eve, which can get confusing. I had to look back a few times to remember who this person or that person was. I have to say, as you can probably tell by the lackluster thoughts here, I didn't really care for this book. I am a big fan of Armstrong's but this one just didn't thrill me.

On the plus side, we see more of Savannah, of Paige and Lucas (who got married between Industrial Magic and Haunted) and Jaime. Since Jaime is going to have her own book coming up, that's a good thing.
