Story
As a cassandra sangue, or blood prophet, Meg Corbyn can see the future when her skin is cut - a gift that feels more like a curse. Meg's Controller keeps her enslaved so he can have full access to her visions. But when she escapes, the only safe place Meg can hide is at the Lakeside Courtyard - a business district operated by the Others. Shape-shifter Simon Wolfgard is reluctant to hire the stranger who inquires about the Human Liaison job.

But Shining is now something more than human. And the scrapyard is no longer just a scrapyard, but a place full of secrets. This life she has built, while empty, is predictable and safe.

Summary
In this thrilling and suspenseful fantasy set in the world of the New York Times best-selling Others series, an inn owner and her shape-shifting lodger find themselves enmeshed in danger and dark secrets.
Human laws do not apply in the territory controlled by the Others--vampires, shape-shifters, and even deadlier paranormal beings. 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 such as Vicki's don't have any distance from the Others, the dominant predators who 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 is 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 shape-shifting Others--discovers a murdered man, Vicki finds trouble instead. The detectives want to pin the death on her, despite the evidence that nothing human could have killed the victim. As Vicki and her friends search for answers, ancient forces are roused by the disturbance in their domain. They have rules that must not be broken--and all the destructive powers of nature at their command.

Entertaining, but..
A tale of the Others not involving the Lakeside courtyard, this book has some entertaining moments. I enjoyed the kindle version and, having experienced the narrators odd stressing and pauses, decided to download the audiobook.
This is a case of the reading detracting from the story, unfortunately. Alexandra Harris actually reads very clearly, so should be a good narrator and, despite the peculiarities noted above, performed well in the Lakeside books. But said peculiarities seem more pronounced this time, particularly when reading speech. And it's very irritating that the dominant MALE vampire sounds more womanly than his female second..
That notwithstanding, if you're an Others fan you'll enjoy the interactions and typically 'messy' come-uppances,even though the storyline is basic. Alas, no wolves - so we don't have their often hilarious, uncomprehending thoughts to enjoy.
Don't be put off immediately by this review. Listen to the sample and, unless you can't cope, give this a try. You can, after all, return it if you want. I shan't be doing that though.

Good Addition to the series
A spin off from the Others books. It has none of the characters we know and love from the first four books but is set in the same world. Its a good enjoyable read but not quite the same standard as the other 4 books and I missed Simon and Meg. I liked it but got a bit frustrated at how stupid the baddies were - given all that happened in the previous books its a bit hard to believe the humans would behave in the way they did. Dont read it unless you already read the first 4
Alexandra Harris as the narratior is perfect if you are used to her in the first books

Very enjoyable
Although I missed all the usual characters, I have to say this was a very good addition to the series. It was well written as always, and it was nice to see the situation/world for new perspectives. The narrator did a good job. Her voice is clear and I like the fact that she tries to make each character sound different. Can'y wait for the next book.

Terrific stand-alone Others novel
First, I've read all the Others novels as they were released and loved some of them, so I was eagerly awaiting this novel. I was concerned that there was unlikely to be crossover from characters in the earlier novels, since that is so much of what I've loved.
Well, my worry was unfounded, because the new characters are as perfectly flawed and struggling as those in the Lakeside Courtyard. I especially loved the way the aftermath of an abusive relationship was a primary plot arc - and even more the way that men who range from manipulative to downright exploitative operate, and how to some extent they need the victim because they need the abuse. All without ever preaching! Instead, Lake Silence is a beautiful exploration of what happens when the vulnerable and soft prey finds itself allied with a much larger predator than anything trying to eat the duckling! And the importance of treating strangers well, lest they be - as the Greeks and many cultures have believed - powerful gods in the disguise of someone helpless.
Also, how to respect CLEAR AND SPECIFIC LIMITS, and the value of accepting and living within those limits, which is definitely a lesson humanity needs to learn.
Five stars! Okay, okay, I did take off stars for the narrator and feel guilty about it, since she is the series narrator, and I would probably miss her if she lost the gig... but... she just emphasizes most words way too much. Somehow it sounds to me like a backward William Shatner effect, or maybe just a female William Shatner.
Still, a great use of a credit!

Good read no purpose
I felt this could have been a novella. It just didn’t have the meat and bones of the original books to be a part of the series. I felt a bit let down and was hoping for more. These people really felt like they should have been part of a larger story told within.
The writing was good, but coming of the Meg books was a let down for me. Audiobook was performed great.

Love the others but this book is lacking
I love the others series but was disappointed when the story of Meg and Simon ended I was hoping they would be in this book, but with big disappointment they had only a slight reference in one chapter. Although this book involves the others after the big fall out in book 5 the characters in this book aren’t as enjoyable to read and listen to as the original books 1 to 5 it wasn’t bad but not something I would listen or read again I would rather re listen to the audible of Meg and Simon since they are more interesting the heroine in this book was pretty boring and the storyline seemed lacking she had no backbone it was just bland

Even better than the main series
I really like The Others, but I loved this book. It takes the world building that makes The Others series great, and it adds in characters I like just as much if not more. I adored Vicki, our heroine, and the other people in this world, both human and others. The antagonists were terrible people, but I loved to hate them, and I think Bishop did a great job fleshing out villains.
As always Alexandra Harris did a great job.

A Nice Vacation
Really the only drawback on this book is that it has nothing to do with Lakeside. it does have a few references back too Meg and the female pack but they do not take part in this book. This is still an enjoyable listen if you liked the others.
