Publisher Description
'A convincing small-town setting, clever contemporary dialogue, compelling characterizations and a touch of cool humor .... This story's special strength lies in its seamless incorporation of the supernatural into the real world.' - Publishers Weekly
'Armstrong has a good ear for dialogue, and the main characters, especially Jaime and Eve, stand out in full colour.' - Winnipeg Free Press
Book six in Kelley Armstrong's supernatural series marks the return of werewolf Elena Michaels from BITTEN and STOLEN. When half-demon Xavier calls in the favour Elena owes him, it seems easy enough - steal Jack the Ripper's 'From Hell' letter away from a Toronto collector who had himself stolen it from the Ripper evidence boxes in the Metropolitan Police files. But nothing in the supernatural world is ever as simple as it seems.
Elena accidentally triggers a spell placed on the letter, and manages to tear an opening that leads into the nether regions of Victorian London. Toronto may be looking for a tourism boost, but 'Gateway to Hell' isn't quite the new slogan the city had in mind . . .
A brilliant novel of suspense with a supernatural twist - packaged in the stunning new Kelley Armstrong series style.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestseller Armstrong's newest Otherworld novella is a mediocre love story masquerading as an urban fantasy mystery. Heartbreaker werewolf Nick Sorrentino is dispatched to hunt Malcolm Danvers, the pack's sadistic former alpha; he is aided by supernatural PI Vanessa Callas, a fire demon whose abilities are never fully exploited in the story. Nick's assertion that Vanessa underestimates Malcolm is proven correct when one of her agents is injured to bait them. As Malcolm taunts them with gory tableaus of dead female victims (and Armstrong suggests that Malcolm may be gay, as though that has any bearing on his evilness), Vanessa discovers Nick is more than a handsome womanizer. Though little time is spent developing the relationship between Nick and Vanessa beyond adrenaline-driven sex, the plot evaporates just in time for the pair to realize that they'd like to become better acquainted. Strictly for diehard Otherworld fans.
