Haunted by Kelley Armstrong

Rating: 4.0

Another fun book in the Women of the Otherworld series. It took me about half the book to really get into this one though. The first half was kind of slow but the second half kicked butt!

The heroine in Haunted is Eve Levine, a deceased witch/half demon and the mother of Savannah from the previous two books. Eve is sent on a mission, literally to hell and back, to hunt down a ghost, called the Nix, who is causing harm to humanity. This Nix thrives on murder and mayhem and gets a little too close to the loved ones of Eve. Haunted was a fun read but I just wasn't crazy about the ghost world scene. I preferred the other books that took place in the here and now and had living breathing human characters.

Haunted has some very interesting and unique settings and characters. I had a hard time putting the book down once I got past the first half. And the climax was awesome!
