[Book Review] Otherworld Nights
Otherworld Nights / Kelley Armstrong (Powell's Books)
While I read a lot of urban fantasy/paranormal there are few series in the genre that I enjoy as much as Kelley Armstrong's Otherworld novels. I stumbled across Bitten by chance when browsing for something new to read in the Science Fiction/Fantasy section of a used book store over a decade ago. First I met Elena Michaels and the Pack, then Paige Winterbourne, and others, eagerly waiting for the next title in the series to come out.
The challenge of loving this world is the number of short stories and novellas, the former scattered through genre anthologies and the latter often published in limited runs through specialty imprints.
Otherworld Nights is a fantastic collection of stories enriching the world of the Otherworld. They take place over the whole span of the novels, and across the entire cast of characters. I highly recommend this for fans of the series. If you haven't read any of the novels but like urban fantasy with a touch of paranormal romance, you're risking spoilers and the characters won't be as familiar, but it may whet your appetite for the series.
