If you like page turner mysteries and vivid characters and a little history thrown in (a plane crash into the Empire State building in 1945 and an elevator operator who survived an 80 foot fall due to the crash) you should love this book. And the story is set in fictional Higgs Point, NY, based loosely on a neighborhood called Harding Park, which is located in Clason Point at the southern tip of the Bronx and across the water from LaGuardia, where the East River meets the Long Island Sound. It has a tidal marsh, lagoons, and an anomalous collection of 1920′s bungalows and summer houses lined up on narrow streets, and a fantastic view of the Manhattan skyline. Throw in an intriguing story line and I was definitely hooked! ~ Katherine
Evie renews her acquaintance with her mother's spry 90 year old neighbor, Mina, and is disturbed by some of the incidents in happening in Mina's life, as well as by the nephew who is trying to talk Mina into a nursing home. Are the issues with Evie's mom and Mina part of aging and illness, or is there something more sinister going on?

pell Bound (Women of the Otherworld, Bk 12)
Author: Kelley Armstrong
I've been in love with this series since Bitten. This is the second to last in the series. They should be read in orders so you can keep up with the characters and their world.
At last, in the novel every Kelley Armstrong fan will need to own, all the major heroines and heroes of Otherworld are united. — It's been ten years since Bitten, the first novel in Kelley Armstrong's New York Times bestselling Otherworld series. In that time hundreds of thousands of fans have ravenously devoured the adventures of Armstrong's witches, demons, and werewolves. Now, in Spell Bound, she brings them all together for her most sweeping tale yet.
Savannah Levine is in terrible danger, and for once she's powerless to help herself. At the heartbreaking conclusion of Waking the Witch, Savannah swore that she would give up her powers if it would prevent further pain for a young orphan. Little did she know that someone would take her up on that promise.
And now, witch-hunting assassins, necromancers, half-demons, and rogue witches all seem to be after her. The threat is not just for Savannah; every member of the Otherworld might be at risk. While most of her fellow supernaturals are circling the wagons at a gathering of the council in Miami, Savannah is caught on the road, isolated from those who can protect her and unable to use her vast spell-casting talent, the thing she counts on most. In a story that will change the shape of the Otherworld forever, Armstrong gathers Elena, Clay, Paige, Lucas, Jamie, Hope, and other beloved characters, who soon learn that the greatest threat to supernaturals just may come from within.
