10-18-08 No Humans Involved by Kelley Armstrong - Fiction

3 - I looked at this one a few times before I picked it up to read thinking the description on the jacket made it sound like it would be "eehh" at most. But I was pleasantly surprised. There's an interesting cast of characters that includes a necromancer, a couple of werewolves, a few half-demons, and a lot of ghosts. And it all takes place outside current day Hollywood and in the business of entertainment. Jaime Vegas is the necromancer and, yes, she sees dead people. She hides her talent in plain sight as a spiritualist showman but is drawn to the plight of several ghosts while filming a reality show with a planned finale of raising Marilyn Monroe's ghost. A pretty good read. WARNING: There is graphic sex in this book so if that's not for you, you might want to avoid this one.
