Publisher Description
The team-spirit sign by the side of the highway seems a good omen to loner Morgan Walsh, as he drives to what could be the most important visit of his life—a chance to join the North American Pack. Then he wakes naked in the woods, surrounded by wolf tracks and a ring of suspicious cops. The situation only gets worse when he's bailed out by Alpha-elect Elena Michaels and Clayton Danvers, her terrifying enforcer and mate.
Disappointed that such a promising young werewolf risked exposing them, Elena isn't expecting anything from the pesky retrieval job except some much-needed alone time with Clay. Instead, she finds a different kind of evil stalking the streets and forests of Westwood, New York. Trapped in town by a snowstorm and sabotage, Elena, Clay and Morgan must find the mysterious threat before it sets its sights on them.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestseller Armstrong's latest Otherworld stand-alone novella, set after the events of 2010's Frostbitten, is an appetizing morsel of a mystery sure to whet appetites for the rest of the series. Lone werewolf Morgan Walsh decamps from self-imposed Alaskan isolation and goes in search of the North American Pack, only to be arrested after being found naked in the woods of upstate New York. When Pack leader-in-waiting Elena Michaels and her companion, Clayton Danvers, arrive to bail Morgan out, a chance finding of a chewed corpse leads the three to discover the area is a "Bermuda Triangle for drifters." As the investigation brings them closer to the unusual inhabitants of the small town, including the witch police chief and an officer with a fetish for corpse pictures, the three wolves become the hunted. With sneaky, surprising pacing and well-drawn likable characters, Armstrong capably uncovers the darkness underlying a quintessential small American town.
