Publisher Description
'[A] fast-paced story.' - Orlando Sentinel
'A taut, sensual thriller that grips from the first page. Elena Michaels is at once sublime and sympathetic, a modern heroine who shows that real women bite back.' - Karin Slaughter, The New York Times
Kelley Armstrong captivated readers with her Sunday Times bestselling Women of the Otherworld series of supernatural thrillers. Now her characters return in this gripping anthology.
The collection begins with a brand-new novella featuring werewolf Karl Marsden and half-demon Hope, in what might be Karl's last heist. Meanwhile Elena and Clay are trapped in a wintry small town with a killer on the loose, in the fast-paced and atmospheric novella 'Forbidden'.
In 'Angelic', former black witch and part-time angel Eve is sent on a dangerous mission by the Fates, while necromancer Jaime tackles a ghost with a seriously bad attitude in 'The Ungrateful Dead'. Zoe Takano is forced to defend her territory in the hugely entertaining 'Zen and the Art of Vampirism'. And in the final novella, 'Counterfeit Magic', Paige Winterbourne and Lucas Cortez take on a troubling case that will change the couple for ever.
An exciting collection of novellas and stories, both original and specially chosen by the author, featuring much-loved Otherworld characters in heart-stopping, pulse-racing action.

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.
