I still don’t understand why Clay wanted to become a werewolf, and why Malcolm bit him instead of just killing him. “Savage” traces Clay’s back story – how he was bitten, and became Jeremy’s “son”. I love these books’ intriguing plots, but the characters aren’t quite standing out as different from one another. But once she starred in her own novel, her distinguishing characteristics faded. The same with the female characters, though when we first met Jaime Vegas as a secondary character, she at least seemed to be drunken and clumsy. And when these are written in first person, it becomes even more obvious. I’ve read the Otherworld novels and short stories – Clay Danvers, Lucas Cortez and Jeremy all have very similar voices. Though Malcolm is a character you’ll want dead, or at the very least slapped, he at least has somewhat of a unique voice. The racist, unlikable Malcolm Danvers manages to attract a quiet Japanese lass, but she has a definite plan to keep the resulting baby from his father. “Ascension” is a fine short, focusing on Jeremy Danvers’s birth. Now they can only be found in this anthology, with the proceeds going to World Literacy of Canada. Out of the two novellas and two short stories here, I’d already read three in previous incarnations, when they were available free on the author’s website. Random House (US & CA: 27th January 2009) Hachette Orbit (UK & AU: 5th February 2009)įamilies in the American Pack have deadly agendas in Kelley Armstrong’s collection of werewolf tales, Men of the Otherworld.
