No Humans Involved by Kelley Armstrong
4.0
I didn't realize I owned two books in this series. I picked them both up at random garage sales years ago. So since I'm only reading the books I own now, I decided to read this book right after Bitten.
Even though I skipped several books, I didn't feel like I missed anything. (It was all explained well.) Except I would have liked to see Jamie meet Jeremy. He was my favorite in Bitten so I was happy that he was the main guy in this one! And it was nice to see a different side of him. He acts more himself around Jamie, he's not just the Alpha all of the time.
Jamie is really different from Elena. (Mostly in a good way, but she is kinda wimpy.) Jamie works as a TV medium but she's a Necromancer who can actually see ghosts. (And a lot more) Sounds like we met her in the other books, along with several of the minor characters like Paige and Hope, two of the supernatural friends helping her out. (I think Paige is a past heroine and Hope a future. I look forward to their books, particularly Hope's.)
Jamie also has a ghost friend, Eve, who really needed to be in the book more, because I loved her! She might have questionable morals but she's tough and spunky. (I think she was a heroine too.)
The Bad:
I didn't like this book much before Jeremy joined Jamie. She's doing a TV show about seances, so she's staying at a house with a couple other 'mediums' to film clips for the show. I didn't care for the whole Hollywood thing and I didn't like any of the people involved with the show. They were catty, backstabbing, drama queens. But that's where Jamie met some ghost kids who are haunting the garden. She can't speak with them because they're stuck between our world and limbo.
The mystery was figuring out what could cause the ghosts to get stuck and who could do such a thing. It got a little dark and gross for me. Turns out some people are sacrificing kids to gain power. (Not really a spoiler, it's revealed in the first chapter told by one of the victims.)
There wasn't much sex in this one. There was a scene with a sex cult, but I skipped that entire section (once they went underground) so I can't say what happened down there.
The Good:
Characters
World Building
Romance
The Bad:
Plot. (wanders around too much)
Too icky. (Kid murders, sex cult)
Will I read more books in this series? Maybe eventually.
