Women Of The Otherworld Mini-challenge # 7

 

This is mini-challenge number seven in a series of mini-challenges for participants of the Women Of The Otherworld Series reading Challenge! The task for this challenge is the same as the last three ;- go to the last page you read and create phrases with the last word of each line. We can use punctuations that follow the words but we have to use all the words and keep them in order. The stipulation being that we can't use the same page as last time! We also have to include the page number as well as book cover and synopsis!

 

Synopsis

 

No Humans Involved

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. 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.

 

The Challenge!

So the last Kelley book I read was the UK Kindle Edition of No Humans Involved! This is from  pg 342.

"Grinned. In answered. Did there? Left smiled. Fine. Bed hollywood. Chocolates out me. Chuckle too? Did easier good. Hope? Pause crowd. Shoulders jumps.  Inhale. Late her? About miles laughed then. Fine. Better myself. Indeed."

Synopsis

Thirteen

A war is brewing—the first battle has been waged and Savannah Levine is left standing, albeit battered and bruised. She has rescued her half brother from supernatural medical testing, but he’s fighting to stay alive. The Supernatural Liberation Movement took him hostage, and they have a plan to expose the supernatural world to the unknowing.
Savannah has called upon her inner energy to summon spells with frightening strength, a strength she never knew she had, as she fights to keep her world from shattering. But it’s more than a matter of supernaturals against one another—both heaven and hell have entered the war; hellhounds, genetically modified werewolves, and all forces of good and evil have joined the fray.
Uniting Savannah with Adam, Paige, Lucas, Jaime, Hope, and other lost-but-notforgotten characters in one epic battle, for a grand series finale.
Note: all hardcover editions are “collector editions,” which will include features such as author notes on the series and the post-13 Elena story “From Russia, with Love.”

Women Of The Otherworld Challenge - Month 6

Month 6 of the Women of the Otherworld Challenge is Broken. Broken brings back Elena as narrator again and revolves around the 'From Hell' letter!

Blurb

Broken

When half-demon Xavier calls in the favour Elena owes him, it seems easy enough, steal Jack the Ripper’s ‘From Hell’ letter away from a Toronto collector who had himself stolen it from the Ripper evidence boxes. But nothing in the supernatural world is ever as simple as it seems. Elena accidentally triggers a spell placed on the letter, and opens a dimensional portal into Victorian London, releasing zombies, disease, and maybe the notorious serial killer himself.

My Review

I love this book, one of my favourites of the series as I love how it incorporates the 'Jack The Ripper' legend giving it supernatural twists! I loved Elena being pregnant and the issues she had being a werewolf! I'm sure most women would be jealous that she gets to shave 3 months of her pregnancy term.
I loved Jaime coming into it as well and being brought face to face with her biggest fear - what she can expect in later life if she isn't careful using her abilities - namely the madness of Tee. All necromancers and Clairvoyants face going insane as they get older if they overuse their powers and their barriers breakdown.
I think Clay may have started to accept, respect and maybe even like Jaime in this book, she proved she wasn't just a flighty superficial airhead I think, plus she managed not to get captured or possessed! I think this book probably sees her and Jaime's relationship hint at more then friendship given that Elena think's she see's something more then concern in Jeremy's eyes while looking at Jaime at one point!
I liked the introduction of Zoe, while she never gets her own book. she does get a couple of short stories and a mention as one of Elena's friends in future books. She's a character I always liked and wished could have featured more in the series.
I got a little emotional when they discussed baby names as Logan's name came up. I also felt Nick was having a difficult time adjusting to Clay and Elena starting a family, not because he didn't want them to, but because it made him think about his fathers wish for a grandchild and made him consider whether fatherhood would ever suit him. He wasn't so much broody as he was feeling guilty for not giving his dad a grandchild. It made me feel a little bad for him seeing him re-evaluating his life because of Elena's pregnancy.
I'm definetly glad to have re-read this one and I'm looking forward to re-reading the next novel too! Part of the story was hinted at in this book!
