She's an enjoyable character and I like the concern she shows for her daughter. Plus, I love studying female criminals throughout history, so I liked the aspect of this story that revisits some evil women (even though some names have been changed they're recognizable). I liked the pace of the story, the romance between Eve and her former lover ghostly sorcerer Kristoff, and the battle of an unlikely heroine to save the world. Eve kicks major supernatural ass! ( )Everytime we change narrators I worry that I'm not going to enjoy the book as much. I was double worried this time since we hadn't had a lot of exposure to Eve. I don't think I'll make the same mistake again, I'm pretty sure that all of the books in this series will be awesome.I never would have thought that I could like Kris that much but he grew on me really quickly. And I both loved and hated the ending! Fifth in Kelley Armstrong's Women of the Otherworld series. The narrator of this one is Eve, mother of the young powerful witch Savannah. Eve really does her best to protect Savannah, but her task is made difficult by the fact that she's dead, and ghosts are a bit limited in what they can accomplish. The Fates giver her a task that might suit her strength of character and her creative solutions... she is to capture the Nix, a supernatural creature who takes up residence in ther brains of female psychopaths and encourages them to act on their homicidal tendencies. Aiding Eve is Trsiel, an angel, and her dear love, Kristof Nast, who is also a ghost. This one gets a bit too dark for me when she goes to the prison dimension for serial killers, but overall it is a good book. This is the fifth book in the series 'Women of the Otherworld'. I think the lead in 'Haunted', Eve Levine, is her second best. Elena is her best lead, with Eve close behind. I just wish there was more Eve. She is a very funny character. Eve is a well written character. Many people would be able to relate to her. Yes, I would most definitely recommend this book to anyone. As mentioned in the above paragraph, Eve Levine is the lead in 'Haunted'. Eve is the mother to Savannah, the teenager that Paige is guardian of. Eve is a half-demon, black witch and a ghost. She also owes the Fates. The time to pay them back, has come. Eve will have to do everything she can to get the Nix, and it seems that means she will have to use an angel's sword. Will she become an angel just to get the Nix? See Bitten. 0.093 seconds to build listing no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0553587080, Mass Market Paperback)THE CONTINUING ADVENTURES OF THE SMART, SEXY — SUPERNATURAL — WOMEN OF THE OTHERWORLDEve 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. . . .
