Brazen Description
Nick Sorrentino knows everyone in the supernatural world considers him the Pack's playboy, the pretty but not very useful werewolf whose only reputation involves his amorous exploits.
Usually, Nick couldn't care less what anyone outside the Pack thinks of him. But when it affects his hunt for Malcolm Danvers, a psychotic bogeyman from the Pack's past, it matters.
Necessity forces Nick to team up with mercenary half-demon Vanessa Callas to run Malcolm to ground in Detroit. Together, they discover Malcolm is more deadly than ever. And he wants to play.
It's time for Nick to prove he's not just a lover.
He's a fighter.

I've seen too many complaints on the size of this book and want to clear up a few things. Anyone who is a lover of Kelley Armstrong and her work will know that this is not a full length novel. To those that are not as familiar with Ms. Armstrong, let me get you up to speed. Kelley finished the Otherworld series in 2013. Brazen is a story set in that universe. Kelley has continuously done a tremendous job at giving her readers extra stories set in the Otherworld universe. Along with full novels, she has done free short fiction, several anthologies, e-fiction, and a yearly novella through a small Michigan publisher called Subterranean Press. Even now, with the Otherworld series completed, Kelley continues her tradition of providing year end novellas to her fans through Sub Press. Although Kelley sometimes does a few extra special novellas, she never fails to give her fans the one year end novella that she always does. These stories are always spectacular and bring readers back into the world of the Otherworld, a special treat for those that have read her work and love the world she has created. All of this brings me to my main point. Brazen is a novella published by a small publisher in limited print run. Kelley has never led her fans to think that this is a full length novel. Every time I have seen her endorse her novellas, she is always quite careful to caution readers that it is not a full novel. Amazon lists the dimensions and page number of the book and also marks the book at quite a discount compared to the cost of buying the book from Subterranean Press. All of this information is out there, both from Kelley and the Amazon description.
It's been nearly two years now since Kelley Armstrong's WOMEN OF THE OTHERWORLD series wrapped up, and I've been suffering from some serious werewolf withdrawals ever since. So, when I found out that Nick was getting his own novella I was absolutely ecstatic! I may have even gone a little overboard because I bought the limited edition from Subterranean Press, and paid the exuberant shipping fee to have it mailed to Canada. But, it was money well-spent because this book is beautiful both inside and out. The custom artwork is to die for, and Nick is one of my all-time favourite players so seeing him rendered speechless by a woman was a real treat.
This novella's plot line follows the same format as Armstrong's full-length werewolf novels in that the pack is tracking a mutt, only in this case Nick is taking point for a change, and it's not just any mutt but Malcolm Danvers--king of the crazies. I loved seeing how grown-up Sorrentino is in this short; he's still a ladies man but he's got the responsibilities of a full-blown adult with a day job, three teenage werewolf wards, and pack responsibilities. He remains a player at heart, and there's definitely more than a few suave moments in BRAZEN. I got a kick out of watching him try to be a role model to Reese and Noah while being upfront about his man-whorish ways.
Malcolm is hands-down one of the best werewolf villains out there which makes any story featuring him a surefire adrenaline rush. He's a sick sociopath who's as intelligent as he is cruel. I loved watching his clever plan unfold in this short because it really was a work of art but the bitch-slap-to-the-face ending was even more satisfying.
