Women of the Otherworld series is a contemporary fantasy that contains the supernatural characters of the modern northern American life and with some active elements of love. Some of the characters in this series include werewolves, witches, necromancers, vampires, shamans, sorcerers, demons, and others. This aspect of using various supernatural characters makes Kelley Armstrong a unique writer; this is because many of the current writers only limit themselves to one or two supernatural characters when writing.
