Resumen del Editor

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. 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 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. But it's not the police Hope is worried about, and the only way Hope can keep her friend alive is by letting her enter a world she's safer knowing nothing about.

Absolute best in this series so far

I absolutely loved the series in the Canadian Wilds, and was a little disappointed with starting this series so I took this rock. It has the wonderful writing like that other series. I admit I did skip a few books but I'm encouraged to go back and read all of them You won't be disappointed with it it has the depth and writing skills that I am mired in that other series called Rockton? It always left you wanting more.

The narrator needs to be fired.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

she detracted by being the narrator she was terrible. she mutilated the voices and she mispronounced names. it would have been better if she had not attempted voices at all.

Any additional comments?

I LOVE Kelly Armstrong. I love her writing and I love the series. I was very upset when I realized the narrator was so terrible! she has no sense for the characters, and she cannot even come close to a passable male voice. Karl sounds like someone is constantly choking him, and her female voices are almost as bad. They are difficult to tell apart and they sound like 16 year old brainless twits. Also how the hell do you repeatedly mispronounce Jamie as Haime?!? I could understand if the character was male or hispanic, but the character is FEMALE and a REDHEAD! I was very sad to see such a great stories ruined by a incompetent narrator.

Enjoyable

I read the reviews for this book before listening and I don’t get all the bad ones. I enjoyed listening to this book

Love the book, dislike the narrator

The narrator was horrible. She gave Hope Adams a New Jersey accent and her male characters sound absurd.

Just Fun

Just Like all the Otherworld Books Just Plain Fun

Hate to beat a dead horse but the narrator...ugh.

I stopped the book and opened up my library to see if I missed an installment. How the heck did Jamie Vegas become (High May) Vegas? What in the world?

I've devoured this series and need to go leave reviews but the change in narrator was a bad bad choice.

More Finn!

I know this is the Women of the Otherworld series... but Finn was my favorite part of this book. He was great. More!

Another Great Book...But the Narrator

How could the performance have been better?

I don't understand how the narrator got

Any additional comments?

I really enjoyed the story, however I was very use to everyone in the story having some type of power and it was just a little disappointing that Robyn is just human.

Really bad narrator

Decent story. It picks up 1/3 of the way in so that you notice the horrible narration a little less. The main female character sounds like a vapid whiny valley girl you kind of want to slap. Also she says "Hamie" instead of "Jamie" which is annoying.

Overall decent

I’d probably say that this is the worst book of the series, though it’s not a bad book. Some crazy plot twists and lack of character generation for some new characters. What really irked me was the way the narrator pronounced Jaime Vegas’ name. I have no idea how anyone can not know how to say that name. I’m honestly amazed that the editor didn’t make her correct those parts. I’m glad I got through the story though and I’m ready to move on to Frostbitten.
