From #1 New York Times bestselling author Kelley Armstrong comes two Otherworld short stories that take readers on an exhilarating honeymoon chase with werewolves Elena and Clay, and a mysterious mission through the afterlife with dark witch-turned-angel, Eve Levine.
It’s not a good sign when Elena Michaels and Clayton Danvers resort to everyday activities on their long-awaited honeymoon in St. Louis. But their encroaching boredom is about to take a back seat to an unexpected threat that catches Clay’s attention. A non-pack werewolf is clearly stalking them—out to claim Elena for himself—and Clay has no intention of letting the upstart mutt spoil their romantic getaway, even if that means deceiving Elena as he pursues the rival werewolf on his own. Originally part of an anthology of supernatural romance stories, STALKED is the perfect introduction to Kelley Armstrong’s Otherworld series and an action-packed interlude for fans to revisit some of their favorite characters.
In OFF-DUTY ANGEL, dark witch and half-demon Eve Levine is desperate for a little entertainment while her lover Kristof Nast is detained in afterlife court—enough to volunteer an extra week’s worth of angel corps duty just to pass the time. Luckily something even better comes up a real celestial bounty-hunter mission to trail a shaman, someone who might prove to be a useful lead in Kristof’s court case. Following the target goes smoothly, until he leads Eve to The British Museum, where she inadvertently steps into a secret dimensional passage and stumbles upon a far more enticing puzzle…and a much greater danger. Packed with suspense and surprising twists, OFF-DUTY ANGEL reveals fascinating new insights into a beloved series character.
Includes an exclusive early look at THIRTEEN, the epic finale to the Otherworld series, coming July 24, 2012.

STALKED — 4/5I've read this short story before, and I think I gave it 5/5 then. The only reason its getting 4/5 stars now, is because I just read a story by Armstrong with the same plottwist! That was a real bummer, 'cause I really love Armstrongs writing.
Other than that fact, this is a fun Elena/Clay story, from Clay's POV. It has the banter and love I like between them, some werewolf fun, and sexytime. So everything I want in a story about those two.
OFF—DUTY ANGEL — 4/5
I've wanted to read more from Eve's point of view for quit a while now. I find her kick ass in another way than Elena, and some times even more interesting.
While this short—story was fun, actionpacked and mysterious, I felt it lacked something. Probably because I thought it might have something to directly do with the plot in "Thirteen".
It was a great read, in much another way than "Stalked"

The Hunter and the Hunted Two Stories of the Otherworld The Otherworld Series eBook Kelley Armstrong Reviews
I really like the Elena and Clay storyline of the full Otherworld series. I've never really caught the Eve/Kristof bug. This book has a story of each relationship.
What I liked
* Both stories are well written, as is consistently the case with Armstrong
* Clay and Elena as partnered predators is fun and sexy
What I didn't like
* Eve and Kristof's story seemed overly complicated for the short novella/story format. I found the twists a little hard to follow, and needed the exposition at the end to know what had really happened.
Would I recommend? If you like both of these couples, I imagine you'd enjoy this book. If you like Clay and Elena, it's still worth the $2 price tag, because that story is pretty damn good.
This novella consists of two short stories plus a preview of the next book "Thirteen". The first, Stalked, has been published before but I hadn't read it. Clay, the pack enforcer and Elana, the only female were are finally on a honeymoon. Clay wants everything to be perfect to make up for the ruined wedding and honeymoon many years before but finds that Elana is being stalked by a mutt (non-pack werewolf) which upsets Clay, never a good thing. This story has a couple of twists which makes it fun to read. The second story, Off Duty Angel, features Eve Levene, a character who started as a side character and developed a life of her own. Eve, off duty from her job as a celestial bounty hunter for the fates is bored so her mate Kristol Nash sends her on a job as a P.I. for him. Of cource if you know Ms Armstrong's book you know that things don't always go the way the characters want.
All in all a good quick read while awaiting Thirteen to come out. I haven't mentioned the preview of Thirteen, but know that iy does cover, I think, 7 chapters, so the reader can decide if they want to read it or wait for the book to come out.
Oh, how I love Kelley Armstrong's books! Right before the release of 13 (coming out July 24, 2012) she gives us a little teaser present with The Hunter and the Hunted. This collection contains two novellas, Stalked and Off-Duty Angel and plus a sneak peek of 13. All three are a great way to get ready for 13.
The first story is Stalked which was originally published in My Big, Fat Supernatural Honeymoon. Elena and Clayton are finally on their honeymoon and he wants to make it perfect for her. However, an annoying mutt gets in the way. These two are my favorite characters of the Otherworld series. To make this story even better, it's from Clayton's perspective. I really enjoyed watching him trying to protect Elena and give her a "normal" honeymoon. He is actually trying to respect human tradition which is pretty humorous. I love everything about Elena and Clayton and it was fun reading this little tale.
Next is a new story about Eve Levine, part-time ghost and part-time angel. Off-Duty Angel takes Eve on a little adventure while waiting for her lover, Kristof Nash, to get free from the otherworsly court. I always find it amusing that Eve always finds herself in some kind of mess and has to fight her way out. As I read this quirky tale, I'm finding that the infamous dark witch is slowly getting some scruples. Watching her decide between right and wrong is very entertaining. Eve has appeared in several of the Otherworld books and has had her own in Haunted. However, I have always pictured her mainly as Savannah's mother. Eve gave Savannah more complexity. However, I think Ms. Armstrong wrote this story to further develop Eve in time for 13. My guess is that Eve plays major role in the upcoming book.
Ms. Armstrong also included in this collection seven chapters of 13. After reading, I think she was a little bit mean giving us a tantalizing taste and then waiting until next month to give the rest. 13 opens with a bang! After reading just a few pages, I was completely hooked. I can't wait to find out how she concludes this series and probably a little bit sad that it's ending.
Stalked is a Clay and Elena Story, two of my favorite characters. Their interactions with each other are always hilarious and heartwarming. This story is no different, except Clay is doing his best to be discreet. I don't remember any other time where Clay even attempted this. It really isn't his strong suit. The ending made me laugh, making me love Clay and Elena's relationship even more.
Off Duty Angel Evie and Kristoff are back for another adventure. Of course, since it's easy it doesn't go as planned. Evie stumbles across some sacred texts. Her snark is welcome relief to the Hell dimension they find themselves in. This was another fun story. While I want to say that I wish they were longer , the truth is that they were the perfect length. I just happen to enjoy most -if not all- of Armstrong's characters.
Do you have to read the series to understand what is going on in the short stories? No, I think that they are a great way to get your feet wet with the other. But, reading the full length novels may make you more connected to these characters.
5 stars *****
