From a recent press release from the UK's Orbit Books: "This month, Kelley Armstrong returns with No Humans Involved, the new volume in her acclaimed, and bestselling, series of supernatural thrillers set in the Otherworld, a dark vision of our own world where humans unwittingly co-exist with werewolves, witches and other supernatural beings.

"It's the most anticipated reality television event of the season: three spiritualists gathered in one house to raise the ghost of Marilyn Monroe. For renowned medium Jaime Vegas there's just one problem. Unlike her colleagues, Jaime is the real deal: and she knows the house is truly haunted. Not by dead film stars, but by something even stranger and much more disturbing.

"A tragic mystery lurks in the maze of gardens behind the house: trapped spirits that only Jaime can hear, spirits that refuse to let her rest. Distraught, she looks to her fellow supernaturals for help. As the whispers within the garden grow more frantic, Jaime - and the attractive and unobtainable werewolf Jeremy Danvers - are forced to embark on an investigation into a shocking underworld of black magic and ritual sacrifice. As events culminate in a psychic showdown, Jaime must use the darkest power she has to defeat a terrifying and previously unforeseen enemy..."
