Publisher Description

Have you ever wondered how lone wolf Clayton Danvers finally got bitten by the last thing he ever expected: love? Or how the hot-blooded bad-girl witch Eve Levine managed to ensnare the cold, ruthless corporate sorcerer Kristof Nast in one of the Otherworld's most unlikely pairings? Now, Otherworld readers can share these moments with some of their favorite characters—as well as catching welcome glimpses into the minds of some of the lesser-known players. This anthology contains "Birthright," "Beginnings," "Ghosts," "Expectations," "Wedding Bell Hell," "The Case of El Chupacabra," and a new story narrated by Eve.

"I liked the new style in which it was written. I really loved the new characters, Robyn and Fynn, and the missadventures they got into. It was a really nice read although sometimes I felt it the suspense was going to kill me and I just wanted to know what happened. It was totally worth it! "

    " Really loved the history of Elena and Clay's relationship. When I first read Bitten I didn't like Clay at all and couldn't understand why Elena loved him after he had turned her against her will. This story gave insight into Clay and made me understand why he did it and why Elena would eventually forgive him. "

    " This book was very informative because it gave background to many of the characters that before we had some insight but know I know exactly what happened. "

    " *** "Tales of the Otherworld" are eight short episodes, in chronological order by Kelley Armstrong, from boring to passionate. I like the first two, complete stories, not entangling too many names. "Rebirth" is Aaron, medieval farmboy, unknowingly inheriting vampirism from his mother, accidentally knifed while rescuing innocents, as usual. "Bewitched" is Eve Levine giving lessons, then giving in, to Mafia family style Cabal leader Kristof Nast, in a recent time when witches and sorcerers are oil and water. "Birthright" is teen Logan, experiencing heightened senses and restlessness, directed to werewolf pack headquarters by a note from his unknown father. "Beginnings", the longest, a complete romance, is how human Elena met Clay on his first job outside the pack, fell in love, and went home to meet his family, not knowing they were werewolves. The shortest and worst are "Expectations" - Lucas, the youngest Cortez son, steals a grimoire (evil spellbook) from Eve, now single mother of Savannah; "Ghosts" - Jeremy, pack leader, remembering suffering caged images of after Clay in wolf form bit Elena because he was terrified of losing her; "Wedding Bell Hell" - all the details of Lucas Cortez and Paige Winterbourne (Savannah's guardian after Eve was killed) planning their wedding. "The Case of El Chupacabra" is confusing when narrated from different points of view. Long-winded pedantic Lucas and wife sexy Paige solve an apparent vampire murder, with a large otherworld cast including Aaron's mentor from the first tale. They decide to buy their first joint office where Savannah and Adam will help. "

    " As I understand it, these stories were initially given out as free snippets to fans, which is wonderful, but that is also evident in the writing. These stories seem to skim the surface of the lives of these characters. "

    " The worst of the WOTW books so far, not much happening in this book, and the characters did not make me attached to them. Not bad really, just not up to par with the rest I have read in the series. Luckily, there are far better WOTW books to look forward to :) "

    " Had sort of forgotten about this series for a few years there, but picked this up. It didn't require too much memory of the backstory, which is great because I don't remember all the details (although I did remember enough, when side characters were mentioned).Fun, fluffy, pleasant. "
