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 has. 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.

      Canadian writer Kelley Armstrong has risen to great popularity with her successful Women of the Otherworld series, which casts seemingly everyday female protagonists into paranormal and otherworldly situations. HAUNTED follows suit, as an immortal half-demon named Eve finds herself battling the Fates in order to communicate with her daughter. With such a tale of the fantastic to work with, narrator Laural Merlington delivers a powerhouse performance filled with rich characters, remarkable voices and dialects, and plenty of demonic fury. While fans of the genre will love what Merlington is able to do in her reading, other listeners will enjoy this entertaining romp of paranormal romance, which is as good as it gets in today's audiobook scene.

      Smart-mouthed Eve Levine, a witch with a reputation for breaking the rules, may be dead, but as she proves in this overstuffed paranormal romance (a follow-up to Industrial Magic
      ), she can still raise hell in the hereafter—which, in this case, is a curiously ordinary dimension in which ghosts like Eve and her also deceased former lover, a sorcerer named Kris, can bicker, have sex and use their paranormal powers. The Fates, three elusive sisters, are the rulers of this otherworldly dimension, and they have a job for Eve. If she can defeat a demonic Nix who's wreaking havoc in the human realm by inducing people to kill, she'll earn her wings—literally. The catch: she can't capture the Nix without the powers that angelhood affords. Eve surmounts this hurdle by teaming up with a hunky and humanlike angel named Trsiel, but her quest, which is fraught with obstacles as well as unnecessary distractions, is lengthy and meandering. In addition, Eve's kick-butt-ask-questions-later attitude, while amusing, can be wearying, and the rules of Armstrong's alternate world seem conveniently changeable. Still, those who appreciate heroines with a good measure of spunk, sass and strong-arm savvy will find this a fun if fitful read. Agent, Helen Heller
