Some very ugly people have crossed through the accidentally open portal, and cholera and murder strike Toronto as a result. Then a situation develops where a portal between the Victorian past of Jack the Ripper and present day Toronto is ruptured. At first, the tasks before them seem ridiculously easy. It seems that a mysterious “Letter from Hell” written by, yes, Jack the Ripper, has surfaced after being stolen years ago. When a much needed distraction – in the form of a former acquaintance with a job prospect – appears, Elena jumps at the chance to convince Clay and Jeremy, the pack Alpha, that they should investigate. Since none of the pack has ever dealt with a female werewolf, much less a pregnant one, they are uncertain how to proceed, and in Elena’s mind are hovering and overprotective. In this installment, Elena and Clay are excited and terrified to discover that Elena is pregnant. Without reading at least two or three of the other books, the characters and circumstances mentioned in passing will be extremely confusing.
The other books in the series feature secondary characters from those books, and Elena and Clay make very brief appearances only. Their story is told in the first two books of the series Bitten and Stolen. It took Elena years to forgive Clay and realize that she did love him. Years ago, the love of her life, Clay, also a werewolf, bit her.
Elena is the only female werewolf in existence. Armstrong basically begins the book assuming the reader knows the characters and provides minimal back story to get newcomers up to speed.
It was nice to see Elena and Clay featured again, but I felt that they spent most of the book running in circles, chasing their tails (pun intended).įor those that aren’t familiar with the series, this assuredly is not the place to start. Although I have enjoyed the previous books in the Women of the Otherworld series, this one was definitely not my favorite.
