Such a delight to find this book when I thought there weren't going to be any new stories in this series. But it felt like a teaser, a taste of what I love about Elena and Clay.
I love how family centred this book is. Loads of feels to do with the pack with focus on Elena, Clay and the kids. The big bad threat is Malcolm, so no far fetched storylines in this one, but it's not boring in the slightest. There's plenty of action and most our favourite characters are featured. Great addition to the series.
I've read all of Kelley Armstrong's Women of the Otherworld novels, and many of her novellas and short stories, but I have a few that I haven't read. Working my way through those now, starting with this one which I VERY much enjoyed. I love the relationships that have been built within this world amongst all of the characters and this was a good story involving several of them. Just an enjoyable read and the antagonist wasn't who I expected it to be, it ended up being much more complicated than my initial expectation.
Another long novella in the Otherworld series.
Whilst Elena is in London dealing with the British Alpha Kate starts acting up and runs away, or at least goes out a deliberately obscures her tracks so that the werewolves can't track her. To add to Elena and Clay's anxiety someone keeps calling Elena asking her if she knows where her puppy is.
As the pack search desperately for Kate they catch the scent of an old enemy - soon they are concerned that while Kate might have left on her own, she may now have been abducted by mutts, or worse.
This was a great novella which kept me guessing all the time (and I've read some of the later novellas). Where is Kate? Is she alone? Who is the mysterious wolf disguising his scent? Is the Bulgarian pack assisting Malcolm? And when they find Kate the questions just get more numerous.
Loved it.

Yay! I've been waiting for this book since I finished [b:Thirteen|10863148|Thirteen (Women of the Otherworld, #13)|Kelley Armstrong|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1328820694l/10863148._SY75_.jpg|15778276]! I always liked the dynamic between Clay/Elena, and when the twins came along, I instantly fell in love with them and their dynamic as well, so following them grow up and then finally getting this book here, is such a treat! Even if I know what's happening.
I won't say too much about the book, for fear of spoiling it, other than I like the family-dynamic and generally enjoy the story. Even if it is a cliffhanger leading up to [b:Driven|25913699|Driven (Otherworld Stories, #13.6)|Kelley Armstrong|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1437824553l/25913699._SX50_.jpg|45801648].

One thing I've been thinking about while rereading this seires and the Darkest Powers-trilogy, is how the child-wolves all seem so smart. Clay and Derek and Kate and Logan all have the brainpower of... well, I'd say they're geniuses in one field or the other. And I can't help but wonder if that's something related to their werewolf enhancements.
Sure, the other wolf-kids mentioned in the Darkest Powers-trilogy all seem more like wolves than smart humans, but maybe it could swing either way? It's a battle between instinct and intelect?
Don't know anything for sure, I don't know if Armstrong has said anything about it, but it's an interesting thought.

Great book, excellent writing, brilliant pacing. As a fan of the Otherworld I loved to see more about Clay and Elena's family.
That said, won't be rereading. Kate is targeted by a pedophile and while no sexual assault occurs, Elena is deeply shaken by her failure to recognize this person as a threat to her children - feeling that she should have because of her own history with child sexual assault. This hit me really hard and sent me into a bit of a spiral so take care.

urban fantasy about international werewolves in today's world. Did not finish.

Meh. OK, but not great installment in the series. I guess that is why the author herself placed it as 13.5, rather than as a full novel.
