LAKE SILENCE (THE OTHERS #6)

In this thrilling and suspenseful fantasy, set in the world of the New York Times bestselling Others series, Vicki DeVine and her lodger, the shapeshifter Aggie Crowe, stumble onto a dead body . . . and find themselves enmeshed in danger and dark secrets.

Human laws do not apply in the territory controlled by the Others–vampires, shapeshifters, and paranormal beings even more deadly. And this is a fact that humans should never, ever forget . . .

After her divorce, Vicki DeVine took over a rustic resort near Lake Silence, in a human town that is not human controlled. Towns like Vicki’s have no distance from the Others, the dominant predators that rule most of the land and all of the water throughout the world. And when a place has no boundaries, you never really know what’s out there watching you.

Vicki was hoping to find a new career and a new life. But when her lodger, Aggie Crowe–one of the shapeshifting Others–discovers a dead body, Vicki finds trouble instead. The detectives want to pin the man’s death on her, despite the evidence that nothing human could have killed the victim. As Vicki and her friends search for answers, things get dangerous–and it’ll take everything they have to stay alive.

Liza's Review:

I loved the first 5 books in The Others series from Anne Bishop, and was excited to get more stories with the Others. While I'll miss so many of my favorite characters from the Lakeside Courtyard, I already love so many of the characters we met in the Lake Silence area of Sproing.

Vicki DeVine was treated horribly by her ex-husband, but she has started to come out of her shell and feel a strength about herself she has never felt before since moving to The Jumble on Lake Silence. I loved she was so very accepting of any individual that came to stay with her and she wanted to really make her new live work running The Jumble per the agreement with the Others. I have to say I especially loved having Aggie Crowgard and her friends staying at The Jumble. I adored the Crowgard at the Lakeside Courtyard and found myself loving The Jumble Crowgard every bit as much.

I loved the characters that rallied around Vicki to battle her ex when he and his club show up to try and kick Vicki out of The Jumble. I loved how both humans and Others worked together to help out Vicki. I feel like her character will grow so much over the course of series, and really can't wait to see her once she finally sees herself as so many of those in the Lake Silence area already see her. I'm very excited to see where Ms. Bishop takes us with her Lake Silence stories of The Others.
