Review courtesy of Dark Faerie TalesQuick & Dirty: Fun stories for fans of the Otherworld series with one new story, one old and a sneak peek into Thirteen.Excerpt: NoThe Review:I am a huge fan of Kelley Armstrong's writing style, unfortunately I haven't read anything by her since Waking the Witch and I have forgotten some key elements to the series since then. It is really hard to talk about the stories when the synopsis above describes the story perfectly - and without giving away too much. Stalked was a story that I had read before and had no problem jumping back into again. Off-Duty Angel was a little bit harder to get into, trying to remember Eve's story again, but if you are truly a fan of this series then you will want to read this story. Since I haven't read Spell Bound yet, I couldn't bring myself to read the first seven chapters of Thirteen, but I can't wait to see how this series will end!"Stalked" (Otherworld Series 7.3)Originally published in My Big Fat Supernatural Honeymoon. Stalked is a story that is completely told from Clayton Danvers point of view as he tries to keep from ruining Elena's honeymoon from a werewolf out to take Elena as his own. A fun, quick story that gives some insight into Clayton and how much he loves and respects Elena, even though it really comes down to communication. The story is a little predictable but if you are a fan of this series then you'll love Stalked.Rating: 4/5"Off-Duty Angel" (Otherworld Series 12.5)Eve Levine is bored. The afterlife just isn't keeping her as busy as she would like so when Kristof gives her a job to follow someone for information, she stumbles upon a bigger mystery. This mystery story does start out a little slow since Eve doesn't even know what is going on most of the time. The story is a good look into the afterlife where Eve lives. It is interesting how buildings and places are reflected into the afterlife - a lot of exposition is given to this.The introduction by Kelley Armstrong makes Off-Duty Angel sound like it will tie into events that will happen in Thirteen. I have a feeling that whatever Eve finds will be the key that solves something which I guess I will have to read Thirteen to find out.Rating: 3/5FTC Advisory: Penguin/Dutton provided me with a copy of The Hunter and the Hunted. No goody bags, sponsorships, "material connections," or bribes were exchanged for my review.
