Subterranean Press is pleased to present a long Otherworld novella by Kelley Armstrong, featuring a number of full-color illustrations by Xaviere Daumarie.

Cains are known for being big, brutish and not-too-bright. The mutt clan embodies all the supernatural world’s worst stereotypes about werewolves. But not even the Cains deserve to be hunted down and skinned like animals.

When young Davis Cain comes to the Pack for help, Alpha Elena Michaels can’t refuse him. It isn’t about morality or justice. It’s about not letting anyone think they can do this to werewolves and get away with it.

But Elena is also dealing with the Pack’s homegrown monster—Malcolm Danvers, onetime enforcer, full-time psycho. Malcolm is now under Elena’s control, as part of the most difficult decision she’s had to make as leader. But if she has to let Malcolm in, she’s going to make full use of him…and the best person to catch monsters is one who knows exactly how they think.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Kelley Armstrong believes experience is the best teacher, though she’s been told this shouldn’t apply to writing her murder scenes. To craft her books, she has studied aikido, archery and fencing. She sucks at all of them. She has also crawled through very shallow cave systems and climbed half a mountain before chickening out. She is however an expert coffee drinker and a true connoisseur of chocolate-chip cookies.

Awesome book. Gifted, god-like author. And what may be the last in the Otherworld series. Kelley Armstrong.....say it ain't so!
Driven shows us werewolf alpha Elena finally settling in as the boss. It gives us a glimpse of what intellectual badasses her twins are going to be. Her co-lamp breaking mate Clay oozes massive Elena love and helps us feel secure in his overwhelming confidence. The American werewolf pack has changed with the times and the gang is better for it. And there's enough closure on the bad apple (Malcolm) that has been a boogeyman since book one. So for now, I think KA really believes she means for this to be goodbye. She's got a lot of new stories yelling for our attention. Yes, they are good, damn good. But.....
But we know Kelley Armstrong, don't we? Life will always find a way (from Jurassic park) and she's going to start thinking, "ok, the twins are old enough now to have a series of their own". Prepare to send me the booty on the bets, because I can see Kate & Logan burning up the pages now.
Sigh. Ok, if you are totally new to KA, buy this book but do not read it. Go to book one, then book two, three, well, you get my drift. Savor the experience. When you are ready to finish with this one, that werewolf twin idea might be a reality. And if you are a die hard Kelley Armstrong fan, well hell, you aren't even reading this review. You're reading the book!
Kelley Armstrong is a go-to author........see name - buy book.

It was great visiting with my favorite characters again and Malcolm added spice to the story. The kids seemed a bit too old for nine but they are special.

I just needed a few more chapters. I was saddened to finish in a day and I wasn't reading all day long.

I actually ordered this through one of the amazon sellers. I was pleasantly surprised that not only did I get a special edition of the book, but I got a SIGNED special edition. As a giant Kelley Armstrong fan this was like Christmas and my birthday all rolled into one.

The book is excellent. It brings back old characters and enemies and continues the story of the wolf pack and Elena's alphahood in a great way. It even, in my opinion, is hinting of a possible merge between the young adult series and the main series which I find very exciting because that is how I 'found' Kelley Armstrong.

While it is a good stand alone novella for people who have read the main series (Women of the Otherworld), or at least the wolf books, I don't recommend it for someone who hasn't read the series simply because of spoilers if you want to complete that series. If you don't care about that kind of thing you might be a little confused simply because it builds on past stories, but you can probably get through it.

i have always loved Kelley's work. I knew that she wasn't done with the woman of the other world series. I knew it! I liked this because it talked a little bit more about Malcume. and why he was back , how his being there messed with everyone in the pack. but Elena didn't let him win anything, he is not the Omga. he takes the crap and will always. that's his job now. I also like how we meet the Cains again, and how Kelley put alittle of the darkest power series in there as well! another great series by her! I had been waiting for this to go to kindle for along time. it's not a bad price at all for what the story is. though it is on the shorter side, still totally worth reading!( as is all her stuff , I think).

I really enjoyed the way Ms.Armstrong dealt with the big, bad wolf - Malcolm. Instead of leaving him as a threat, she brought him back to the pack and in doing so took the bite out of his bark. I also love how the pack has grown and diversified. I hated what happened to most of the Cain family, but love that Davis Cain is on his way to becoming a pack member. This book has it all, excitement, murder, sex, love, humor, and grief. You won't be disappointed.

I will never turn down a book involving Clay and Elena, and I hope this isn't the last.

Always nice to see Clay, Elena, and the rest of the pack again. I love getting these glimpses into the Pack's lives, even though the series is officially over.

5.0 out of 5 stars More Otherworld goodness for the fans...
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 5, 2016

While I’m not a huge fan of short stories and short novellas, preferring the longer story arc and deeper characterisation that comes with novels, in this case, with 232 pages, I didn’t find it a problem. An important consideration is that I already know the main characters so well already, that some of the time normally taken to bond with protagonists and learn their strengths and weaknesses is not necessary. And I will stress that Driven is designed for fans of the Otherworld series and not for readers who haven’t yet encountered any of the novels.

This is Armstrong back to her best, featuring Elena and Clay, the couple that – along with Paige – were always my favourites, anyway. And while this wrinkle isn’t wildly original, I like the way we see progression within the characters we have watched suffer through a thicket of adventures – and the emergence of a major antagonist who loomed over the series in his absence through exploring the damage he’d already inflicted on a number of protagonists. All in all, this is a slick, enjoyable read and if you are a fan who’d appreciate revisiting the The Pack, then it is recommended. If you haven’t yet had the pleasure and you enjoy urban fantasy at its pacy best in a wide-ranging series whose popularity is well deserved – then track down Bitten, the first book.
