Publisher's summary

First we were mesmerized by the Women of the Otherworld. Now it's time to learn all about the men who love those supernatural women!

As a curious six-year-old, Clayton didn't resist the bite - he asked for it. But surviving as a lone child-werewolf was more than he could manage - until Jeremy came along, taught him how to straddle the human-werewolf worlds...and introduced him to the Pack. So begins this tantalizing volume featuring three of the most intriguing members of the American Pack - a hierarchical founding family where bloodlines mean everything and each day presents a new, thrilling, and often deadly challenge.

For as Clayton grows from a wild child to a clever teen who tests his mentor at every turn, he must learn not only to control his animal instincts but to navigate Pack politics - including showing his brutal arch nemesis who the real Alpha is.

Tired of listening to stories about humans? Consider the werewolf! Taking various forms over the course of centuries and mythologies, often as flesh-devourers, werewolves now commonly appear in fantasy and romance novels as shape-shifters. The shape-shifting element in werewolves' stories has almost humanized them, depicting the internal struggles we all face within ourselves, on some level or another.

Excellent backstory, but not a prequel

This book contains the back stories and in-between stories of several of the non-narrator characters. I would NOT listen to it as a prequel. Although the events in the begining take place before "Bitten" (Book 1), some of the later events take place after "No Humans Involved" (Book 7) and contains spoilers.

Author succeeds with a realistic paranormal book

This is not the first time I have listened to this book and I have to admit I enjoyed it even more the second time around. The author is great at interjecting true humor, necessary details that develop the story line, and coaxing the reader to climb into her world. I love that the book is written from a man's point of view as he looks back over his early years and lifelong relationships. My only regret is that the book didn't continue on into Clay's life after he met Elena. While this book has absolutely no romantic tendencies whatsoever, it is still a worthy read with a healthy plot and well developed characters. Congrats Ms. Armstrong, you actually kept my attention. And trust me when I say that's not an easy thing to do. Thanks for the book. Definitely worth the cold hard cash.

Great story!

I thought the idea of this book was interesting so I listened(Im not real big on "romance novels" they tend to bore me)But this was a nice surprise. I loved listening to the "voice" of the little boy, very funny and believable.I listened to this book more than once, its worth the $. Very little romance, just a great story.
The reader did an EXCELLENT job on the different voices!

The Stories of Jeremy and Clayton

This provides the back stories of Jeremy and Clayton, particularly the tale of how Jeremy rescued Clayton and helped him become the valued member of the Pack he is in the stories of Elena's life in the Pack, which begin with "Bitten". Fascinating listen, and the narrator does an excellent job of distinguishing the characters' voices and accents.

Great Book about the Men in this series

This is a fabulous book about Clayton and Jeremy when they were younger. You will want to read the others in the series before you do this book or it probably won't mean as much to you. I love Kelley Armstrong she is a great author. I also liked the narrator of this book he did a great job.

Great Background for the series!

Loved the narrator on this book. His voices really lend to the story. I actually wondered if there was more than one narrator. The story really built the background for the other stories and gave you an interesting look at Clayton and Jeremy.

I hope that there's another book coming soon!

I've listened to all of the "Women of the Otherworld" books, so when I heard this one it felt as if I were listening to a story about people I knew. I loved every bit of info that it filled in about Jeremy and Clay. I hope that there's another book in the works which will continue from their viewpoint.

Very Enjoyable!

This is a good Audio book to listen to after Bitten. I enjoyed hearing about the history on Clay and Jeremy. Can't wait for more on the Men of the Otherworld.

If you are a fan!

If you are a fan of her Otherworld series it's a must. It gives you a back ground of the men in the pack. I read it when she had these novellas on the web for free and was happy to find it as an audiobook. I especially liked the last one about Jeremy, who is really mostly silent in her other books. It was worth buying it just for that part!

3 of the 4 stories are excellent

This is a collection of short stories. The first 3 (which actually read like 2 since they flow so nicely together) cover the origins of Jeremy and Clayton and are set prior to the first book in the series (Bitten) though you really should read at least the first 2 books in the series before reading this "prequel" because it'll give you a better sense of the significance of Jeremy and Clayton.

As a background filler for those two characters, this is an excellent collection. The final part (less than 2 hours I think) is about Jeremy and is set later in the chronology - and it is completely out of place in this collection. It's jarring in the storyline, and is a huge jump from where story 3 left off. I listened to part of it then just skipped it because it's not very interesting, and seemed irrelevant. (I still give it 5 stars because the first 3 stories were good enough to make up for number 4.)

The narration is excellent.
