Back Cover: Ever since she discovered she’s pregnant, Elena Michaels has been on edge. After all, she’s never heard of another living female werewolf, let alone one who’s given birth. But, thankfully, her expertise is needed to retrieve a stolen letter allegedly written by Jack the Ripper. As a distraction, the job seems simple enough – only the letter contains a portal to Victorian London’s underworld, which Elena inadvertently triggers –– unleashing a vicious killer and a pair of zombie thugs. Now Elena must find a way to seal the portal before the unwelcome visitors get what they’re looking for – which, for some unknown reason, is Elena……
This is the sixth book in the Women of the Otherworld. In this story we are back with Elena as the main focus, and this time she is pregnant. This is a great rendition of Jack the Ripper. Again Kelly Armstrong makes an amazing addition to her Women of the Otherworld. This builds on the other books and has its own twist and turns. It shows a new side to the werewolves, it just makes me love them so much more. I don’t think that you do wrong by reading any of these books. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series, No Humans Involved.

Back Cover: Eve Levine — half-demon, black witch and devoted mother — has been dead for three years. She has a great house, an interesting love life and can’t be killed again — which comes in handy when you’ve made as many enemies as Eve. Yes, the afterlife isn’t too bad —— all she needs to do is find a way to communicate with her daughter, Savannah, and she’ll be happy. But fate — or more exactly, the Fates — have other plans. Eve owes them a favor, and they’ve just called it in. An evil spirit called the Nix has escaped from hell. She feeds on chaos and death, and is very good at persuading people to kill for her. The Fates want Eve to hunt her down before she does any more damage, but the Nix is a dangerous enemy — previous hunters have been driven insane in the process. As if that’s not problem enough, the only way to stop her is with an angel’s sword. And Eve is no angel. . . .
This is the fifth book of the Women of the Otherworld series. We finally get to meet Savannah’s mother, Eve. The bonus is we get to see the afterlife from her perspective as well. That there is a lot more going on even after you die. Eve is one of those spitfire characters that you aren’t sure if she’s a good guy or a bad guy. She is very entertaining to say the least. The outcome of this story makes you have a double take, but it just makes the story that much more enjoyable. I found this book to be a great story and hope to see more of Eve in the future. I love how the this just adds to the series and can’t wait to read the next book in this series, Broken.
