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.

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.

Fun!

After reading "Bitten" I was extremely intrigued about finding out more about Clay and Jeremy. That's what this book gave me. It was extremely fun to listen to! I found myself laughing so many times at the antics of a young Clay. I do recommened getting "Bitten" first, even though this book technically takes place first.

Foxes and wolves

I absolutely enjoyed this book! The Narrator draws you into the story even though his voice is a bit off and seems a bit drawn on the drawl... but the story itself is good the characters are strong and very appealing in a way that has you Imagining them and the actions, so very well worth the listen and a very definite recommend .

Just the werewolves?

I'd hoped it would include the men from the other supernatural races, too. My expectations were a bit too high.

Love the series...

Love the characters and just plain adore Kelley Armstrong's Otherworld. Not my favorite narrator but once you're in, he's just fine.

Read this before Bitten

Well, now I'm hooked. This book is good (if you like the genre) and gives a wonderful background to the first book, Bitten, that Kelley Armstrong wrote in the Otherworld series. You could actually start the series with this one.

So Good!

This book is so funny and just a great listen! I really enjoyed it, almost more then Bitten!

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.

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!

Wolfboy Wild Child meets Civilization

What did you love best about Men of the Otherworld?

I loved the back story of Clay's Life and of Jeremy's powers.

What did you like best about this story?

This was an entertaining backstory, I wish I'd had it first, to understand the characters of Jeremy and Clay a little better and the pack dynamic described.

Which character – as performed by Charles Leggett – was your favorite?

I loved this book. It kept my attention throughout the story and I didn't want to stop listening for a minute til the end of teh book.

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

The only fault I had to the author's perfoormance was the lack of the southern drawl for Clay. The voice inflection used for Clay was irritating, almost whiny pitched. Not the southern drawl expected.

Any additional comments?

I loved the material, love the author, greatly enjoyed the book. I can see Clay growing and becoming protector of the pack.
