[Book Review] Led Astray: The Best Of Kelley Armstrong By Kelley Armstrong & Ghost Town Coffee Roaster Stonehouse Espresso
Kelley Armstrong is a master storyteller, a fact made abundantly clear in this “best of” collection. There are 23 stories featured in this book, 21 previously published and 2 brand new, never before seen tales. Fans of Kelley Armstrong will recognize some familiar characters and settings, and some new, from the author’s Otherworld, Cainsville, Darkest Powers/Darkness Rising, and Age of Legends series. The only series I have read is the Darkest Powers (and that was years ago), but I was able to enjoy every story in this collection, so no worries for readers who are unfamiliar with any or all of these series.

[Book Review] Otherworld Nights: An Anthology By Kelley Armstrong & Coffee AM Old-Fashioned Gingerbread Flavored Coffee
I have a confession to make: I’ve never read any of the books in the Otherworld series. I’ve always meant to, but the closest I’ve come to it is watching the Bitten TV show, based on the book of the same name, airing on the Syfy channel. I decided to read this collection of short stories as a way to get a little of sample of the much acclaimed series and see if it fit my taste, as one might buy a sample assortment of a popular brand of chocolates before investing in a five pound box based on word of mouth alone.
