Wolf's Curse

Otherworld: Kate & Logan, Book 2

By: Kelley Armstrong

Narrated by: Austin Rising, Justis Bolding

For Kate and Logan Danvers, 16-year-old twins of the werewolf Alpha, nothing could ruin a summer faster than the words “supernatural teen leadership conference”. They expected a boring week of earnest political discussions and team-building exercises. Instead, in Wolf’s Bane, they got a crash-course in real-life leadership when the camp imploded and the twins and their new friends fled into the West Virginia forest.

Now, in Wolf’s Curse, the group has taken refuge in a magically warded cabin only to discover that they might have been safer taking their chances with the demon outside. Trapped in a dark witch’s sanctuary, surrounded by hell hounds, the twins will need to hone their leader and team-building skills fast. There are battles to be waged and mysteries to be solved. Friendships to be forged in conflict and lost in betrayal. Even romances spark to life amid the turmoil.

It might not be the way Kate and Logan expected to spend their week, but it will certainly be a summer camp to remember.

A Fun Excursion Back Into the Otherworld

Overall, I really enjoyed this. Compared to the first book, the action picked up a lot more quickly, and more of the focus was on the plot, mystery, and monsters than the teens doing teenage stuff. While the bringing in of old characters was a bit out of left field, it was a fun listen, and I really enjoyed revisiting this universe that I loved so much as a teen.

The narration was not great, but for such a short book, it worked well enough.

Just doesn't feel like a book about teenagers

The kids seem almost too mature in their thinking. I also feel there was too much discussion surrounding LGBT. It felt like the author was trying to teach it to the reader. Lastly, the narrator said some words completely wrong.

The LgbTQ deserves more seamless push in the story

try too hard to be socially correct as if they'll be every member of the LGBTQ in 1 book in this way seems forced in this structure the author had to make it more seamless nothing wrong with having everybody present just need to go about it in a better way where it doesn't seem forced

Growing up as a supernatural.

The complexities of teenagers, hormones, friends, real friends and life situations. Show themselves throughout booth books. The language especially explicit words is in keeping with the times.
The direct take on sexual lifestyle is brought up but neither encouraged or discouraged. Rather it explained as a fact of life that one will have to deal with as they grow up.
Finally the story itself, full of action, exciting situations and what real friendships are. Definitely written four the fouteen-sixteen year old youth market. Still even at seventy-five I found it interesting and informative therefore I own both.

Great story, not thrilled with performance.

I really enjoyed the story, however I was t impressed with the narration. The male narrator was a little flat with his tone for me, and the female was way to nasal. I was able to get past both, and finished this and the first volume in just a little over 24 hours. I would recommend it to all readers who enjoyed the “Otherworld “ series.

kids growing up

I have been looking forward to the kids growing up. I enjoyed the journey. I hope there is more coming. I miss the pack stories and I hope these will bring growth to the pack as well as the pups.

Diverse and interesting, but kinda fluffy

Regarding the sexuality and gender stuff so many seem to focus on: Yes, it is mentioned. Yes, it is diverse. Does it take away from the story? No, not at all. It actually makes it grow in some rather interesting and original ways.
And it's very refreshing to see so much diversity in YA - not that Armstrong's been non-diverse before.

I'm only giving a 3/5 star rating, however, because there was some stuff here that was only filler - not the sexuality stuff. "story" stuff.
I think it could easily have been cut to combine the 2 books into 1 better one, but I do love Armstrong and don't mind supporting her art.

Brilliant and Well-Written Adenture

Now some of you may just laugh and shake your head because the moment I realised the Otherworld Series was a next generation tale about the Danvers series was almost half way through the book, So many things fell into place but I felt really silly. And adding Logan's brother into the story was heart-breaking yet wonderful. I don't like being spoilt so I read a minimal amount about a series before I start it.

I totally adored catching up a little with Derek and Chloe - my favourite Kelley Armstrong pairing to date. They are just so imperfectly perfect together.

All I can say is please write more about this incredible generation - pretty please
And it must be said I will be delighted to listen to Austin Rising and Justis Bolding narrate any time - so perfect for this book.

Not what I expected

After the previous story I didn't expect this on to be more about teens trying to determine their sexuality. It seems the author tried to force every type of relationship or sexual orientation from a full transvestite that is 13 years old to perverted guys that want to hurt people. I didn't finish the book because it took away from the story. The story could have been constructed better.

I wanted to like it, but didn’t

Fair warning! It’s very angsty teen drama that drags out far too long. Not for the adult fans of Kelly Armstrong at all.
