Product Description: New York Times bestselling author Kelley Armstrong has captivated readers with her spellbinding Women of the Otherworld series. Now, for the first time, in this collection of four tales she gives center stage to the men who love these sexy, supernatural women—the men who live on the other side of humanity…the wild side.
As a curious six-year-old, Clayton didn’t resist the bite—he asked for it. But surviving as a lone child-werewolf was more than he could manage—until Jeremy came along and taught him how to straddle the human-werewolf worlds, gave him a home…and introduced him to the Pack. So begins this tantalizing volume, featuring three of the most intriguing members of the American Pack—a hierarchical founding family where bloodlines mean everything and each day presents a new, thrilling, and often deadly challenge. For as Clayton grows from a wild child to a clever teen who tests his beloved mentor at every turn, he must learn not only to control his animal instincts but to navigate Pack politics—including showing his brutal archnemesis, Malcolm, who the real Alpha is....
From the nature of fear, weakness, and courage, to the triumph of belonging and the complications of love and loyalty, these mesmerizing tales reveal the trials of a werewolf coming-of-age, and lay bare the hearts and minds of the men strong enough for the women of the Otherworld—and adept enough to take on two worlds.
My review: The story starts out with Jeremy Danvers conception, birth and kidnapping by his father. All male werewolves are to be raised by their fathers according to Pack Law. Luckily for Jeremy, his grandfather takes care of him and not his father Malcolm. There's more to Jeremy than just being a werewolf. He has other abilities passed on to him by his mother.
From that back story on Jeremy, we then move onto Clayton's story and how he came to be part of the Pack. His story is told from just before he is bitten up to age 18. It gives us a better understanding of who and why clayton is the way he is. The book ends with a bit more on Jeremy up to the current story line in the other books.
Kelley Armstrong writes interesting characters and brings them to life through vivid story telling. I always enjoy her books. My only problem is, she writes so well, I get caught up in the story and don't want to put the book down until I've read through to the end. A great installment to The Otherworld series. I am looking forward to forthcoming books on the other Men of the Otherworld.
