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.

Surprisingly good. Better than Twilight.

Would you listen to Men of the Otherworld again? Why?

I only have a couple books I reread. While this probably won't make the cut, I look forward to listening to the next in the series.

What other book might you compare Men of the Otherworld to and why?

Twilight without the squishy romance. Harsher like I expext the supernatural world to be like.

What about Charles Leggett’s performance did you like?

Gruff!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Stayed up to late and took the back roads home to listen just a little longer.

Wish it continued

Would have enjoyed more. These men are strong, sexy and vulnerable. Simply put they are perfect!

I loved it

hearing Jeremy and Clayton point of view was great fun, and the sweetness of Jeremy's Romance with"that pretty necromancer" lol

Fantastic!

I loved it! It was nice to hear Clay and Jeremy's story. This is definitely worth a credit if you like the Otherworld series. The narrator was awesome!

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.

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.

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.

Great back story!

Extremely well written with great insight into the male characters. Wonderful performance! Highly recommend it!

love this story

I love this book and have listened and read it many times over and over again

fun read

I put off purchasing this book until it was on sale bc i thought it would be a boring read. I was sooo wrong! Not only is it a great story, light and entertaining but it was laugh out loud funny! (in parts).
I have read all but the most recent books by K Armstong and this is by far one of the best.
