    This was the last thing I would have expected from Kelley Armstrong and I love surprises. It was such a treat to pick up her book & find that she had jumped from werewolves, & Vampires, to another Realm & a story about Savannahs mother Eve proving to us that she may have been a dark witch but there is no evil in her. I have to say I would have liked a happier ending but this is an urban fantasy & not a paranormal romance, but if Kris & Eve were happy with the way there lives ended up than so am I.

    This wasn't a bad book. It was fairly action-packed, and I really enjoyed the last couple of chapters. However, it was definitely my least favorite of the series so far - but I love this series, so I'm trying to read them all in order. As with all the books in this series, it includes many characters we've already met, but focuses on one particular "woman of the Otherworld" - in this case, Eve Levine. I think there were three things that made this book less enjoyable for me:

    (1) Eve Levine is dead. It's been a while since I started this series, but I think she was dead even before the series started. I'm not quite sure why, but I found it harder to "care" about a ghost.

    (2) Eve Levine isn't a very nice person. This really isn't a spoiler - we've heard a bit about her before this book, and most of it wasn't very good. She's fine as a bit player, but I like a book better when I can sympathize with the lead character.

    (3) This one had more of what I call "real life" violence in it. This is totally my own personal strange thing, but for some reason I can handle bloody vampire and werewolf stories, but I freak out over serial killer books. And this had a nice collection of serial killers in it.

    If those three things don't bother you, and you've liked the others in the series, then you might enjoy this one just fine.

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. . . .
