Amityville Horrible by Kelley Armstrong
4.0
Five reasons to read Amityville Horrible:
1) I love Jaime, and this story showcases her personality. It explains why she is the way she is and shows how far she's come since Industrial Magic.
2) Jaime and Jeremy's relationship is one of my favourites in the series because it still feels so unexpected. At first glance, they shouldn't work together so well, but both of them incorporate the theme that appearances are deceiving, and that logic applies to them as a couple as well.
3) Jeremy is practically perfect in every way, but one of my favourite things about him is how much he trusts that Jaime can look after herself. Everyone else sees her as a damsel in distress, but not him.
4) Jaime's interaction with Clay and Elena's twins was adorable and shows that she is a member of that family.
5) The plot is creepy and fun.
Two drawbacks to Amityville Horrible:
1) The premise is similar enough to No Humans Involved that the plot didn't really grab my attention. I would have liked to see Jaime in a different setting, one we don't already know she's capable of handling.
2) The villain-reveal is a little bit too complicated because there are too many characters involved.
