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… .

Haunted is the fifth Women of the Otherworld novel by Kelley Armstrong and features a new character. Eve Levine is more than the Mother of, Paige Winterbourne’s ward, Savannah, she is a half demon, dark witch ghost. Complicated? Just wait. Eve owes a big favour to the Fates for saving Paige and Lucas in Industrial Magic, and may have to give up everything she loves to do it.

Zara and Nick are soul mates, meant to be together forever. But that’s not quite how things have worked out. For starters, well, Nick is dead. Supposedly, he’s been taken to a mythic place for warriors known as Valhalla, so Zara and her friends might be able to get him back. But it’s taking time, and meanwhile a group of evil pixies is devastating Bedford, with more teens going missing every day. An all-out war seems imminent, and the good guys need all the warriors they can find. But how to get to Valhalla? And even if Zara and her friends discover the way, there’s that other small problem: Zara’s been pixie kissed. When she finds Nick, will he even want to go with her? Especially since she hasn’t just turned… She’s Astley’s queen.

Carrie Jones continues her paranormal drama, beginning with Need and Captivate, in her third novel Entice. Nick is stuck in the halls of Valhalla, the young Pixie King Astley has made Zara his Queen and Bedford is being plagued by murderous Pixies. Zara is desperate to bring Nick back but a traitor in the Pixie council and a traitor in Astley’s council are putting Zara and her friends in danger at every turn.
