Book Description:
Former supernatural superpower Eve Levine has broken all the rules. But she's never broken a promise - not even during the three years she's spent in the afterworld. So when the Fates call in a debt she gave her word she'd pay, she has no choice but to comply.

For centuries one of the ghost world's wickedest creatures has been loosed on humanity, thwarting every attempt to retrieve her. Now it has fallen to Eve to capture this demi-demon known as the Nix, who inhabits the bodies of would-be killers, compelling them to complete their deadly acts. It's a mission that becomes all too personal when the Nix targets those Eve loves most - including Savannah, the daughter she left on earth. But can a renegade witch succeed where a host of angels have failed?

Once again as the narrator changed, I found myself taking a while to warm up to Eve (and missing both Elena and Paige). Perhaps because Eve had been seen as a slightly bad person in the other books, it was hard at first to want to like her and want to hear her story. But I did find myself warming to Eve and liking her story and feeling awful about her situation. And I shed a few tears at the end. Once again, Armstrong does a great job with descriptions (although there are some points where I almost wished it wasn't a great job - in the minds of killers and when Eve goes to the hell where the murderers are, especially the cave *shudder*).

Best so far in a terrific series (Women of the Otherworld). Eve Levine (half demon, witch ghost) teams up with the love of her life and afterlife, Kris and a down to earth angel to track down and recapture a demi-demon who has been feeding the need for chaos through serial murders. The characters (as always) are very real, the plot is well done and the ending is satisfying. Note to new readers - this series is FAR better if started at the beginning, due to the large cast of rotating characters.

My 3rd Favorite Kelley Armstrong book!
I'm a huge fan of the Kelley Armstrong books. But more so the werewolves. I wasn't as much interested in Dime Store Magic and Industrail Magic (though i did relate more to Paige than Elena). Haunted got me excited about the Kelley Armstrong witches again. There was even a cameo of one of the dead werewolves from Bitten (Daniel if you didn't catch it). Haunted was fast paced and action packed all the way through. In Stolen we heard of Eve Levine from the point of view of others. Others who saw her as a dark magic practitioner and evil. But looking through her eyes, I got a whole new view on Eve Levine and I liked her a lot more. This was a stay up all night read. I liked it a lot and highly recommend it.

My first foray into dark fantasy and definitely my favorite of the series. Eve's connection to her daughter is heartbreaking, and I remember really loving the plot. It's also not as explicit as earlier works by Armstrong.

Really enjoyed the bad but misunderstood witch, Eve's story. She is reunited with her sorcerer lover, Kristof, in the ghost realm. The plot is full of twists and turns and a surprising ending !

SOOOO GOOD! I think Kelley Armstrong has definitely climbed to the top as my favorite fantasy/sci-fi writer. Eve is one of the funniest, toughest, coolest women in this series.

Well, I wasn't so sure I was going to enjoy Evfe's story, but so far this was my favorite in the Women of the Otherworld books. It had me biting my nails and I styed up late last night to finish it. I could not put it down. If the books get better from here on, I can't wait to continue!

Eve Levine is a witch that must cross into another dimension to track a demi-demon who inhabits bodies of would-be killers. This is a thriller/supernatural suspenseful book that had me hooked! It is a great fantasy read if you just want to escape. It is a classic good versus evil but done creatively.

If you enjoy the Fantasy genre, this is a good one. By the author of "Industrial Magic", the book combines the Fates, scenes from the Afterlife and practical, everyday, mundane life of the living.

Although I have loved this series, I was not very excited to begin this 5th book. I didn't feel like I knew Eve at all, nor did I want to. I wanted more of Paige and Elena! I started this book only to get it over with so I could hurry on to book 6.

However...as usual, Kelly Armstrong delivered a thrilling page-turner. I warmed to Eve and enjoyed her story immensely. Was it my favorite in the series? No. But I'd still call it another hit by Armstrong.

It dragged on and lost me in the middle. I gave up on it eventually getting better.

I am enjoying this series, but this one was a little graphic for my nighttime reading. Other than that, it's a great book.
