Stalked - 4.5 stars

Armstrong doesn’t write from Clay’s POV nearly enough in my opinion, but I enjoyed this little glimpse into my favourite werewolf couple’s lives. Both are trying so hard not to ruin their much deserved honeymoon by fighting their natures, and trying to each resolve a mutt problem without making the other aware that there’s a situation. They really should know better! The hunter quickly becomes the hunted when Clay and Elena decide to take their boredom out on Cain by tag teaming the clueless wolf. Communication has never been this duo's strong suit, but their chemistry and knowledge of each other more than make up for that lack, and besides, their adventures wouldn't be nearly as fun to read about if they were always on the same page.

Off-Duty Angel - 3 stars

Eve and Kristof are an unusual couple in that they are more evil than good. This short is told from Levine's POV, and packs quite the paranormal punch with angels, Fates, Furies, shamans, demons, and by spanning multiple afterlife dimensions. They say boredom is the devil's playground, and that's doubly true where Eve is concerned. Kristof tries his best to keep her entertained by sending her off on a wild goose chase while he's stuck in court, but that of course backfires, and poor Trsiel gets dragged along for the ride. I wish there'd been a bit more to this story because as Armstrong mentions in the foreword, Levine doesn't get much face time in her WOMEN OF THE OTHERWORLD series. No new light is shed on these characters, but I'll still jump on any excuse to revisit this world.
