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.

Nick is definitely one of my favorite character of the series

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 6, 2014

Verified Purchase

This is about 140 pages featuring Nick Sorrentino, pack playboy extraordinaire. Nick is definitely one of my favorite character of the series, based on his loyalty to Clay and Elena alone. Nick has always been underestimated in my opinion because, as an Omega, he has been fine with taking a back seat on most things, as well as a decided lack of aggression and ambition. Nick is not one to claw his way up the pack ranks and has often been viewed by outsiders as a nonentity. Even when he does when fights with other wolves, his reputation doesn't grow the way Clay's does with each win.

Recently he has felt that he needs to step up more within the pack, simply because Clay and Elena now have the twins and as pack Alpha, Elena can't be expected to go out on every case. Nick has already been there to support Clay and Elena and now he realizes that with their increased responsibility, he has to take on more to continue supporting them the way they need.

When word comes that Malcolm Danvers has been tracked down by an agency that the pack hired, Nick head's out to partner with one of the agency operatives, Vanessa Callas. I enjoyed this story because it gives us more of Nick and how he has grown within the pack. I also like the way he has stepped out of his comfort zone. Always content to follow wherever Elena and Clay direct him, seeing him make decisions and take charge is a nice change.

The romance of the story was okay. It was a very slow build that didn't really culminate into anything, but gives us more hope for the future. But will there be more books in the series to let us see the conclusion? I don't know. I also wish that the story was just a little bit longer and gave us more of a happy ending the way Hope and Karl's book did. Overall though, I was very satisfied that Kelley Armstrong is continuing to give us glimpses back into the Otherworld realm and hasn't completely left us out to dry. The only hard part as a reader is wondering if she will continue to do that, or if at some point we'll finally realize that's the end.

Nick has met his match!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 1, 2016

Verified Purchase

It is so nice to be able to dive back into the world that Kelley Armstrong built. While Elena and Clay are still some of my favorite wolves to follow, Nick is definitely up there. Here, we get to watch the newly "grown up" Nick settling into his life, complete with some pretty hefty responsibilities.

The story begins with Nick pretty much turning down some sex. For any other character, it might not be so startling, but for Nick it was a big change. It has been some time coming, what with his acceptance of essentially becoming a foster father for the new younger generation of pack members. Along with these responsibilities comes the task of coordinating the hunt for Malcolm. This whole Malcolm storyline is endlessly frustrating with near misses galore. This story, however, had all the makings of a good Malcolm capture. Nick's hired the best set of mercenaries and given them all they need to track down the pack's bogeyman.

Vanessa is the half-demon leading the hunt for Malcolm. She's been so driven that she can't seem to make time for romance, until Nick walks into her life. Sure, they get off on the wrong foot, but with Malcolm being... Malcolm, these two are forced to spend a lot of time in close quarters. What seems like it might have been another one-night-stand for the infamous Nick Sorrentino actually ends up being something completely different. That's the only type of HEA we get, though, sadly.

Like Nick, but wish he had a bit more substance? Then novella is for you!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 21, 2014

***May contain spoilers if you haven't read WotO through Thirteen***

Brazen is another Nick POV, and I'm really glad Armstrong decided to do a couple of these. I've always liked Nick well enough, but there was no substance. He was just another werewolf. A rich and devilishly attractive werewolf, but that . . . was all.

Not only do we get some depth, but finally, FINALLY, Nick meets a woman he'd liked to pursue a real relationship with. That they got off on the completely wrong foot, only makes me happier (b/c not nice, LOL).

If you're like me, when the Malcolm bombshell got dropped in Thirteen, you nearly lost your mind. Ever since, I've been wondering what devious plan Armstrong had for dealing with the bomb she'd dropped, and in Brazen, we start getting some answers.

Nick has been put on track-him-down duty, and he's hired Rhys and his band of merry mercenaries to help--the deal being that Rhys and co. locate Malcolm, and the Pack take it from there. BUT there's a bit of a dispute over what locating Malcolm entails, and despite Nick's warnings, Vanessa (the agent in charge of the job) refuses to budge on the point of photographic verification, resulting in the abduction of her agent by Malcolm.

From there Nick and Vanessa travel to Detroit, and . . . the rest you'll have to read for yourself. *wink*

MUCH better than the last Nick POV (IMO), and like I said, infinitely gratifying in regards to Nick and his eternal bachelor status. Highly recommended.

Another fab look into the 'otherworld'

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 19, 2015

I cant find the words to describe how happy I am to have been able to delve back into Armstrong's Otherworld series, even if it was just a small journey. I love this series. Like really LOVE this series. So much that my heart broke when Armstrong announced it would end with Thirteen... and then the teeny tiny pieces started to fix back together when she said she would continue to write novellas. I could literally spend the rest of my life reading stories about the characters from this series.

Nick Sorrentino is one of my favourite species. Werewolf, but Nick himself doesn't often get a lot of page time. For want of a better word he is a lesser character. Always in the background helping out but never really trusted to do anything by himself. Until now. And I loved every single minute of it.
The Nick we find in this book, chasing after Malcolm is not the Nick we have come to expect from previous stories. Yes Nick is there to help in a fight, but he's not usually the seeking it out.

I loved that we got to learn a little more about Malcolm and despite the fact that he isnt the nicest of wolves out there I do hope we get to see him more.. Especially after what happened to him in this one.

As is usual of Armstrongs work, this book pulls you in, wraps its arms around you like a hug from an old friend and makes you feel part of the story. I bet you cant read this without your heart racing in the action parts.. and a few ahem other parts too.

Highly enjoyable

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 5, 2015

It was great to read a story centred around Nick and to get to know him better. I'm looking forward to finding out what happens next. Kelley Armstrong is a fantastic writer and her otherworld series is fantastic. This book is part of that series and although they can all be read as stand alone books you'll get a deeper knowledge of the characters if you read the entire series. I would recommend this series highly. Truly a great read.

Love, love, love it.
For all Otherworld fans this is a real treat, a catch up with old friends and the possibility of new beginnings.
Nick really doesn't get enough 'airtime' in the main series so a novella dedicated to him was a welcome read, and it didn't disappoint.

Brilliantly written as always. Kelly Armstrong is one of my favourite authors and yet again she didn't disappoint. It was wonderful to finally have a novella centered around Nick as he's always there in the background. For fans of the series this is a great addition, for newcomers it's well worth a read, as are all the other novels in this Otherworld series.
