Living with the Dead

Women of the Otherworld, Book 9

De: Kelley Armstrong

Narrado por: Jen Taylor

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.

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.

Not my favorite narrator

I love these books. They're brain candy. Unfortunately this narrator would pull me out of the story by mispronunciation.
The worst was pronouncing Jamie Vegas name wrong. (As Hie-Me not Jay-Me)

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.

Love the book

This is the series and the author that started it all for me with the paranormal romance genre. I chanced upon Kelley Armstrong’s works when I picked up Dime Store Magic in 2004 and I am delighted that I did. Reading is a means of relaxation and a way to leave the real world behind for me. Each story can stand alone, but Kelley Armstrong weaves her related characters beautifully throughout each story. This is the ninth book in the series and a great read. These cover a number of adult themes. I have gone on to purchase this entire set in book, Kindle and Audible forms as well as other series from Kelley Armstrong and have never been disappointed.
Robyn Peltier moved to Los Angeles shortly after her young husband’s sudden and unexpected death. Her hope was that her hectic new life as the PR consultant to a spoiled celebutante would provide a distraction from her grief. But when her client is murdered, Robyn finds herself on the run as the prime suspect. And as more bodies pile up around her, it seems only her friend, tabloid journalist Hope Adams, is on her side. But Hope and her boyfriend Karl know it’s just a matter of time before Robyn is caught. For she’s gotten herself in the middle of a turf war between two Otherworld races who’ll spill any amount of blood to protect what they consider theirs for eternity. And the only way Hope can save her friend is by letting her enter a world she’s safer knowing nothing about. To find out more read the book

Great story but…

I listened to a series and while I get they changed narrators due to different focused protagonists. Huge GAP was having a completely different pronunciation for a key character in ONE book. The name is Jamie, was always with the J pronounced as J and this book changes pronunciation of J to H. 😳 Why? I get that is correct in Spanish but the WHOLE series is different than this one book. Basics for any audiobook woukd ve beforehand verification of how to pronounce character names. Period.

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.

New Blood - Excellent Plot

We meet Hope Adams in this book. Now Hope is a brand new character in the series and plays the main character. She has a pension for Chaos. Through Hope we learn a lot more about Karl Marsden who appeared in earlier books in not so flattering ways. In this work, he make the full transition from bad guy to good guy.

This series is excellent as the plots vary and keep interest. I like the universe of characters. Armstrong sticks to her theme, premise and does an excellent job of putting a plot around them. I leave it to you to figure out what they are. Jen Taylor's narration is first rate.

It is a excellent next read.
