Eve and Kristof dead are way more fun than they ever were alive. I was completely fascinated by the history of the Nix and the infamous women it had inhabited in the past. Eve and Savannah are both interesting characters, but whenever they focus their energies on each other, the story seems to come to an abrupt halt. Haunted seems to remedy some of that and once through the muck, there is no stopping these characters. Definitely one of the better books in the series. (  ) JennSicu | Jan 8, 2010 |  Despite that this book is one in a series, I was able to follow it well without having read the others. I give Haunted full points for originality; how many books do you know in which the protagonist is a dead witch? The story is entertaining the way a TV show might be. Fun for a while, but didn't leave any lasting impression or lingering deep thoughts. Recommended for a bit of fun, light reading. (  ) SWIFTBookclub | Nov 16, 2009 | Another great in a brilliant series....I think that the scenes with Lizzy Borden are a great demonstration of Armstrong's talent, and that she's a force to be reckoned with in paranormal suspense. Eve is, by far, my favorite character in the series. (  ) RavinElise | Aug 25, 2009 | The story of Eve Levine. Eve died early in the series and this story gives us the skinny on the Afterworld for Supernaturals. Eve's Ghostworld is run by the Three Fates and they are calling in the favor that Eve owes them. They want her to track down and help capture a particularly dangerous Supernatural called a Nix. It has the nasty habit of inhabiting mortals and inciting them to become serial killers; various Angels have tried to confine the Nix without success. It helped that I was somewhat familiar with Armstrong's particular universe even though I haven't read all of the books that proceed Haunted. I'm not sure that the book could stand on its own. Still, for fans of the Otherworld series this is a must read. 1  hailelib | Aug 19, 2009 | “I love the narrator of this story, Eve the ghost. 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!

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. . . .
