Bonus Book: Foresaken

Forsaken (Otherworld Stories, #13.4)

Foresaken is a novella by Kelley Armstrong set in her Otherworld universe.

Being Alpha of the North American Pack is like being a small-town sheriff- nobody wants the job, but someone's gotta do it.

For the most part, Elena Michaels likes it just fine, even if it means dealing with arrogant misogynists in the werewolf world who are convinced that a woman isn't up to the job.

The she could handle.  What she never expected was a deadly threat to her eight-year-old twins. That her little girl could go missing in the night.

The enemy thought he was dealing with a hysterical mother.

Mother, yes.  Hysterical, no.

Elena was Alpha for a reason. And nothing would stop her from getting her child back.

The Breakdown:
1.  Armstrong's Otherworld verse is one of my favorite to read stories from.  From the Otherworld series itself, to her YA stories set in the same verse.  And I always love stories about Elena and Clay.  I particular liked this one because she really showed the twins, Logan and Kate, and how they have grown and developed.

2.  Interesting to see how well Elena has fit into her role as Alpha, and how her and Clay handle that dynamic as a couple so well.  She is strong and savvy in that role.  I loved seeing her deal with the British pack so well at the end.

3.  Interesting to see how the American Pack has expanded since the beginning of the series, and how much like a family they have become.  Although, reading this story made me realize that I have missed a couple of stories introducing new pack members, like Morgan, and more of Reese's back story.

To Read or Not to Read:
Read if you're a fan of Otherworld.
