For fans of Kelley Armstrong's beloved, bestselling series, an exciting collection of novellas and stories, both original and chosen by the author, featuring her Otherworld characters in heart-stopping, pulse-racing action.
Globe and Mail and New York Times bestselling author Kelley Armstrong captivated readers with her thirteen-novel Women of the Otherworld series of supernatural thrillers. Though the series is over, her characters live on, not only for her fans but for Kelley herself. In this new collection of deeply enjoyable, compulsively readable novellas and short stories, she throws her wonderful characters deep into tricky situations that test not only their ability to safely navigate danger but also their relationships with each other.
On top of these treats, she also offers her readers a terrific, brand-new novella featuring Karl and Hope, on what just may be Karl's last heist.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This collection of six paranormal stories dips into the lives of six characters or couples from Armstrong's Otherworld, offering a sort of comfort-food vibe for those who are already familiar with her world. Each of the stories has a theme meant to inspire adrenaline: a supernatural heist ("Life after Theft"), a hunt for a small-town killer ("Forbidden"), a mission to flush out a traitor in the angelic ranks ("Angelic"), a ghostly case of stalking ("The Ungrateful Dead"), a territory takeover ("Zen and the Art of Vampirism"), and another murder, this time with a side of conspiracy and betrayal ("Counterfeit Magic"). These stories are entertaining, but they lack the pacing and urgency to be truly captivating, instead leaning heavily on the audience's familiarity with and love for the characters to carry the day. This is a good collection for Otherworld fans, but new readers may find it fun yet forgettable.
