WAKING THE WITCH (WOTO #11) by Kelley Armstrong- a review

Waking The Witch

January 2013 is the eleventh month in moonlightgleam.com Women of the Otherworld (by Kelley Armstrong) reading challenge. Each month, participating sites post a review of the scheduled storyline. This month’s challenge is: WAKING THE WITCH

WOTOChallenge

WAKING THE WITCH is the 11th full-length storyline in Kelley Armstrong’ s Women of the Otherworld series. The final three books in the WOTO series focuses on the now adult Savannah Levine and the loss of her witch powers, the investigation into the dark arts and the rise of demons that want to take over the world.

Savannah was first introduced in STOLEN-the second storyline in Kelley’s WOTO series. A then 12 year old orphaned witch, daughter of Dark Witch Eve Levine and Cabal Sorcerer Kristof Nash, Savannah struggled with her powers, her guardians and her attraction and love for half-demon Adam Vasic. Now a grown woman, Savannah knows who she wants but there are too many road blocks standing in her way.

Savannah is now a beautiful 21year old woman, and in this particular storyline, she agrees to investigate the mysterious deaths of two women, the only problem, the deaths are some-how supernaturally related and Savannah will suffer the consequences in more ways than one. A friend will die, another will seemingly pull away and her powers will become part of a bargain.

WAKING THE WITCH is the beginning of the end for the Women of the Otherworld series. The final three storylines follow Savannah as she must literally prevent the rise of Lucifer and the end of the world. If you are a fan of Kelley’s werewolves, the final three stories are a major departure. At one point I thought Kelley was preparing for the spin-off series featuring Savannah as the lead character when the entire focus of the last three books was Savannah.

Frostbitten (WOTO #10) by Kelley Armstrong-a review

FROSTBITTEN (WOTO # 10) by Kelley Armstrong

December 2012 is the tenth month in Moonlight Gleam’s Women of the Otherworld (by Kelley Armstrong) reading challenge.  Each month, participating sites post a review of the scheduled storyline.  This month’s challenge is:  FROSTBITTEN.

FROSTBITTEN is the tenth full-length storyline in Kelley Armstrong’s Women of the Otherworld series and reunites some of our favourite werewolves. Clay and Elena, with the eventual help of Antonio and Nick, are on the hunt for a couple of rogue werewolves who have been terrorizing a small Alaskan community leaving a trail of grizzly murders and missing women in their wake. As the representative for the American pack, Elena sets out to investigate the recent reports of mysterious wolf killings, but will discover that the kills are anything but natural. Leaving behind their twins with Jaime and Jeremy, Clay and Elena will have their hands full with a runaway young wolf, the Russian pack and several mutts hoping to make an impression as a new upstart pack to be feared.

Frostbitten is a storyline that uncovers a little known species of ancient shape-shifters known as the Wendigo that prefer to keep their identity a secret. The rogue mutts will force the quiet and reclusive species into the roll of protector when they discover the remains of a werewolf and the bodies of several young women. But when old memories and one-time pack members resurface from Clay’s past, Elena will find herself in the unenviable position as the bait to trap Clay and the others.

Frostbitten introduces us to several new werewolves including Noah, Reese and Morgan. Kelley will offer up a number of short stories involving the young werewolves, including the December 2012 release of Forbidden- a storyline featuring Morgan Walsh. Nick will also become the surrogate father to a couple of reluctant newcomers to the pack, and the alpha elect for the American pack will be revealed-surprising no one but Elena, herself.

Frostbitten is another wonderful and fascinating storyline in Kelley’s Women of the Otherworld series. With the introduction of three new werewolves Kelley offers up a world of possibilities for future storylines that will now, only be revealed in a series of novella and anthology type novels.

Amityville Horrible and Forbidden by Kelley Armstrong

AMITYVILLE HORRIBLE and FORBIDDEN by Kelley Armstrong

 

AMITYVILLE HORRIBLE by Kelley Armstrong from Subterranean Press

Length: 120 pages
(preorder—to be published in January 2013)

Dust jacket and interior illustrations by Maurizio Manzieri

We’re pleased to add a surprise Kelley Armstrong novella to our schedule. Amityville Horrible will be available as an ebook first, before the end of the year, with the hardcover to follow in January. Please note that Amityville Horrible will only be available as a signed, limited edition, with a much smaller print run than our other novellas by Kelley. We won’t be able to offer this title to large online retailers or wholesalers, so a direct order is your best bet. If you have a copy of Kelley’s novella, Forbidden on order, we’ll automatically match your number.

“I don’t run from ghosts.”
His voice, right at my ear. “You will.”

Jaime Vegas—spiritualist, entertainer and, unbeknownst to her audience, real-life necromancer—swore she’d never do another reality ghost show after the last fiasco. But when she’s railroaded into a charity gig, she finds herself back on the set, this time with a cast of photogenic college kids, an up-and¬-coming Russian spiritualist, and a tale of missing girls and murder in New England. It’s cheesy, but that’s show business. With her werewolf Alpha lover, Jeremy Danvers, along to keep her nights interesting, it’s not so bad really. Until the bloody ghosts show up. Jaime has never faced spirits like these, and no matter how hard she tries, they won’t be ignored.

Limited: 1500 signed numbered hardcover copies, bound in leather

FORBIDDEN by Kelley Armstrong from Subterranean Press

Length: 200 (tentative) pages
(preorder—to be published December 2012)

Dust jacket and interior illustrations by Angilram

Subterranean Press is pleased to present a long Otherworld novella by Kelley Armstrong, featuring a number of full-color illustrations by Angilram. The Trade Hardcover of Forbidden will feature a full-color dust jacket as well as four full-color interior illustrations. The Signed Limited Edition will have a completely different dust jacket, full-color endsheets, and two additional full-color illustrations not in the Trade.

The team-spirit sign by the side of the highway seems a good omen to loner Morgan Walsh, as he drives to what could be the most important visit of his life—a chance to join the North American Pack. Then he wakes naked in the woods, surrounded by wolf tracks and a ring of suspicious cops. The situation only gets worse when he’s bailed out by Alpha-elect Elena Michaels and Clayton Danvers, her terrifying enforcer and mate.

Disappointed that such a promising young werewolf risked exposing them, Elena isn’t expecting anything from the pesky retrieval job except some much-needed alone time with Clay. Instead, she finds a different kind of evil stalking the streets and forests of Westwood, New York. Trapped in town by a snowstorm and sabotage, Elena, Clay and Morgan must find the mysterious threat before it sets its sights on them.

Limited: 1000 signed numbered hardcover copies, bound in leather, with a different dust jacket than the trade edition
Trade: Fully cloth bound hardcover edition

Important Notes:

If you own a copy of the limited edition of Hidden and would like to match that number, please send a separate email to subpress@gmail.com mentioning the number.

Angelic by Kelley Armstrong-a review

ANGELIC (Otherworld Series Novella) by Kelley Armstrong

ANGELIC by Kelley Armstrong is a Women of the Otherworld novella focusing on Eve Levine, the ½ demon ½ witch daughter of Lord Demon Baal, mother of Savannah and lover to Cabal heir Kristof Nash-only she is a part time ghost and part time Angel. Working for the Fates 6 months of the year, Eve’s latest assignment will have her discover that the latest djinn uprising is well organized and powered by an angelic force once thought to be a friend. The djinn Dantalian wants early parole from his prison, and will use anyone or anything, including dissension among the ranks.

Eve continues her disregard for her assignments. As one of the heavenly executioners, Eve wields plenty of power and puts fear in to the supernatural bad guys in the otherworld realm. But when she finds herself facing her own list of sins, she knows that the djinn are stalling for time. Hoping for some heavenly advice, Eve contacts a couple of fellow angels to help research her way back to the djinn.

As the story progresses, Eve soon learns that friends in high places are sometimes the ones sending you on a fools errand. Finding herself in a battle for her otherworldly life, Eve must confront a friend as she realizes even Angels fall if the price is right.

ANGELIC is a short story in Kelley Armstrong’s Women of the Otherworld series. Although not necessary to the Otherworld premise, Angelic is like many of Kelley’s novellas where she adds an additional storyline for some of our favorite characters. Angelic is no longer available in paper book format, therefore an ebook copy is the only way to go. If you like Kelley’s Women of the Otherworld series, you will enjoy Angelic.
