Thirteen

Women of the Otherworld, Book 13

By: Kelley Armstrong

Narrated by: Johanna Parker

Length: 10 hrs and 50 mins

Publisher's summary

The number-one New York Times best-selling author Kelley Armstrong delivers the novel her fans have been clamoring for: The epic finale of the Otherworld series.

It's been more than 10 years, a dozen installments, and hundreds of thousands of copies since Kelley Armstrong introduced readers to the all-too-real denizens of the Otherworld: witches, werewolves, necromancers, vampires, and half-demons, among others. And it's all been leading to Thirteen, the final installment, the novel that brings all of these stories to a stunning conclusion.

A war is brewing - the first battle has been waged and Savannah Levine is left standing, albeit battered and bruised. She has rescued her half-brother from supernatural medical testing, but he's fighting to stay alive. The Supernatural Liberation Movement took him hostage, and they have a maniacal plan to expose the supernatural world to the unknowing.

Savannah has called upon her inner energy to summon spells with frightening strength - a strength she never knew she had - as she fights to keep her world from shattering. But it's more than a matter of supernaturals against one another - both heaven and hell have entered the war; hellhounds, genetically modified werewolves, and all forces of good and evil have joined the fray.

Uniting Savannah with Adam, Paige, Lucas, Jaime, Hope, and other lost-but-not-forgotten characters in one epic battle, Thirteen is a grand, crowd-pleasing closer for Armstrong's legions of fans.

Entire series.....BEST EVER

It begins with BITTEN and with each book it just gets better. The MEN OF THE UNDERWORLD was just totally awesome. Then there's 13, great as was the rest of them. I swear, if you don't like this series, this book...it's you.

Constant Motion!

What did you like best about this story?

I was completely impressed at the way so many characters from this series made an appearance in a way that made sense to the completion of this story. They didn't just appear for appearance sake. This story was non-stop action and constantly kept you thinking.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Without specifics it actually did both - it had many highs and lows which makes for a great book!

Any additional comments?

I can honestly say, when I started this book I couldn't imagine that this was a series finale, as there are so many characters and it is such a diverse series, but Ms. Armstrong really went all out to make this book worthy of a fantastic series!

Kelly Armstrong rocks!!!

Where does Thirteen rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This book rates a 10. I absolutly loved the whole otherworld series.

What does Johanna Parker bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She makes all the characters come alive! I have read other things she has done and she is the best!

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Both. Kelly has a way of bringing you into her story like you were part of it!

Any additional comments?

The combination of Kelly Armstrong and Johanna Parker is awesome.

Love this series

If you could sum up Thirteen in three words, what would they be?

It's a great book and the narrator is good except someone needs to let her know Clayton has the Louisiana drawl...not Elena. Disappointing when you've been reading the entire series and you know the characters. Otherwise she does a good job.

No spoilers

Armstrong is one of those author's you can't get enough of. All the book's in this series were beautifully written. Well developed world with lot's of action, suspense, romance and some chuckling. The ending was left to feel like we still may get more even though this was to be the last book. I highly recommend and will read/listen to anything Armstrong writes. Truly a master author. Narration was excellent Johanna Parker is one of those narrators you know you'll get a top notch performance, a performance of excellent voices, emotion, and delivery. I wish the whole series would be re-read by Ms Parker. Happy reading/listening

Great book

If you could sum up Thirteen in three words, what would they be?

Great addition to he series.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Thirteen?

The kiss between Adam and savana

Have you listened to any of Johanna Parker’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This was the first one. Great job.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When hope realized her husband was killed.

Goodbye.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, but I would advise my friend to read the other books first to put everything in perspective.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Thirteen?

If I told you that would ruin the story. But lets just say Savannah and Adam!

Which scene was your favorite?

Too many to name.

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

I did. Lol.

Any additional comments?

I will miss this series. It is the final one in the Otherworld series, the story left me wanting more. I will miss you!

Last book

Any additional comments?

Thirteen is the next book in Kelley Armstrong's Otherworld series. It is billed as the last book in this series. After a listen, it is clear why. Armstrong does a great job wrapping up the series and giving all the characters an end-some happy, some not. This is a strong addition to a wonderful series. NOTE: This series was turned into a TV show in 2013.

TERRIFIC JOB ON THIS TERRIFIC SERIES

If you love Kelley Armstrong's "Women of the otherworld" as I did, don't miss it. A great series from a great writer. Loved it.

Not disappointed

Johanna Parker is by far one of my favorites. I enjoy her voice so much. I loved the book. If you enjoy the series, you will enjoy this one.
