Pretty good set of shorts stories and novella length stories from the Otherworld. Some sounded familiar...they may have been printed in another anthology, or have been the basis for a novel length book.
Life After Theft – featuring Hope and Karl, takes place 3-4 years after Thirteen (Nita is 3-4 years old)
Forbidden (Otherworld Stories #10.2) – featuring the Pack
Angelic (Otherworld Stories #9.3) – featuring Eve and Kristof, first read September 7, 2011
The Ungrateful Dead (Otherworld Stories #8.2) – featuring Jaime and Savannah
Zen and the Art of Vampirism (Otherworld Stories #9.2) – featuring Zoe
Counterfeit Magic (Otherworld Stories #10.4) – featuring Paige, Lucas, Savannah, and Adam

Love these stories - sheer escapism! and a few I haven't read anywhere else which is always nice.
Could have been 5 stars, because I absolutely loved Life After Theft and Forbidden. Angelic has been a long time favourite and both The Ungrateful Dead and Zen and the Art of Vampirism were cute little snapshots of two characters I loved ... just Counterfeit Magic leaves me feeling just off-kilter. I know all couples have problems sometimes but there's something crude and clumsy about Paige even half-heartedly thinking Lucas might cheat. Makes my heart sad tbh.
Nevertheless a great anthology, as always!

I loved this short stories collection. The Otherworld Series is the best series I have read, ever. And this just adds more to the context of what is happening to my favourite characters. I wish the story with Jamie Vegas would have been longer because she is a favourite, but I also enjoyed all the stories with Savannah. It has been nice character growth for her! Awesome book for sure !
And another great collection of Otherworld stories from Mrs Armstrong. I'd already read Forbidden & Counterfeit Magic but It was great to reread them. Along with getting a glimpse into Hope and Karl's post series life. Oh course this leaves me wanting more.
Basically impossible to resist and why should you? Solidly written fun characters and enjoyable plots. Only sad part of it being a collection of short stories is nothing goes into too much depth and you have to let go of a character when you've barely got started. Always worth reading.
