Since it's been so long since anyone posted to this topic, no one is probably even interested in it now, but I have to say that I have read everyone of K.A.'s Women of the Otherworld series and I loved them all. Of course, I enjoyed some more than others, but I did enjoy them all. I just finished #7 and #8, No Humans Involved and Personal Demon, and I have pre-ordered the 9th one, Living With the Dead. I can't wait to get it.
Each book in the series is narrated by one character, but many others are introduced, who later have their own story. The 1st two are about Elena, the female werewolf, the next two about Paige, the witch, the 5th, is about Eve, a dead dark witch, who is sent by the Fates to recapture a demon who possesses humans and helps them to act on their darkest fantasies of murder and mayhem. The 6th is once again about the werewolf Elena, who is pregnant, and with her pack, are battling time a time traveling murderer and zombies. (Not as silly and campy as it sounds! LOL!) The 7th, is about Jaime Vegas, a TV Spiritualist and a real necromancer, and the 8th, is about Hope Adams, a tabloid journalist, who's mother is human and her father is Luciifer, a Chaos Demon, and she has inherited his ability to see when trouble (chaos) is coming, but she also enjoys, and is addicted to, the emotions that chaos brings, so has a dilemma between helping stop it so no one she cares about gets hurt and wanting it to happen for the pleasure it gives her. The 9th one will be narrated by a human who is framed for murder and is helped by Hope, the half-demon and a necromancer detective, who believe that the real murderer is a supernatural one. This human knows nothing about the supernatural world that co-exists with her world, but she is about to find out.
I love Kelley's series, because it happens in the present world, and is peopled with supernaturals who exist right alongside a human population, who for the most part have no idea they even exist. She makes it seem possible and very believable, and her characters are wonderful, especially because she makes them seem so real. They have the same problems that we do. Family issues, relationship problems, etc. on top of the supernatural problems she gives them to solve. I would recommend them to anyone. I was delighted when I found her series, and hate that I don't have anymore to read right now. I enjoyed it that much!
