Editorial Review:
Product Description: They’re smart, sexy, and supernatural. They’re the men and women of the Otherworld—a realm of witches, ghosts, and werewolves who live unseen among us. Only now a reckless killer has torn down the wall, trapping one very human woman in the supernatural cross fire.
Robyn Peltier moved to Los Angeles after her young husband’s sudden death, trying to put some distance between herself and her memories. Though she’s still grieving, the challenges of her new life as the PR consultant to Portia Kane—the world’s most famous celebutante wannabe—can sometimes be amusing, even distracting. But when her client is gunned down in the back room of a nightclub, Robyn is suddenly on the run as the prime suspect in the murder. And as more bodies pile up around her, it seems like only Hope Adams, Robyn’s best friend, and Hope’s somewhat spooky boyfriend Karl are on Robyn’s side. Hope Adams follows the kinds of stories whose headlines scream from supermarket checkout lines. But the difference is that Hope’s stories are even weirder—and they’re all true. Though determined to help Robyn, Hope knows it’s only a matter of time before her friend is caught. But it’s not the police Hope is worried about. For Robyn has gotten herself in the middle of a turf war between two powerful Otherworld cabals who’ll spill any amount of blood—human and inhuman—to protect what they consider theirs for all eternity. And the only way Hope can keep her friend alive is by letting her enter a world she’s safer knowing nothing about.

To make matters worse, she is found standing over the body with the gun in her hand and runs.

So far I have liked all the books I have read by Kelly Armstrong, this one features Hope and Karl again, but it is Robyn's story. Robyn is Hope's friend and she is accused of a murder she didn't commit and she is all human, not a supernatural. Robyn moved to LA, after the death of her husband, he was shot while attemping to help someone fix a tire and Robyn wanted to start over. Robyn goes into PR work and someone kills her client and she is suddenly a suspect in the murder. Hope and Karl are trying ... Read More

I have read other books in the Women of the Otherword- good thing too. There was a lot of jumping around in this book. Too many separate plot lines going. That said, I do like the 2 main protagonists and their friends and. The book is fast paced; the characters complicated and engaging. For the most part, I enjoy this author's books. I especially like how characters from her previous books show up for cameo appearences.

Living with the Dead is not quite what I expected coming on the heels of Personal Demon (Women of the Otherworld, Book 8), which left Lucas in a quandry that I had thought would lead to some interesting upheaval in the overall story arc of the series. Instead Lucas is a minor off-screen character here and we continue on with half choas demon Hope and her werewolf mate Karl. But Living with the dead is more multithreaded than Armstrong's previous books and Hope and Karl share the screen time with: 1) Hope's ... Read More

This is a good series but I really wished I had began at book one because I was a little lost. The book kind of stands alone but I still wish I had began in the beginning. I liked Robyn who I actually thought made the whole story much better. I'm not sure I would have liked it half as well if she hadn't been in story. There were a lot of characters and even though chapters are named by the person's name in that story, I still found it a little off putting. There is a lot of action and suspense but not much humor.... ... Read More
