But I'm not sure what Kelley intends to do with him now. Nick would have won, and Malcolm knew it. I thought dying at the hands of Nick would have been good, given how Kelley had set it up in the story (character development-wise). Regarding the ending I was surprised that Malcolm didn't die and maybe a touch disappointed. It has the potential to be something serious. When a guy like Nick doesn't immediately sleep with a girl that he's interested in, that makes the relationship unlike any he's had before. When it comes to Vanessa I really appreciated how they didn't have sex.

We get to see more depth to his character and his relationships with other Pack members. Usually he's the friendly, ladies' man who's excellent in a support capacity. Now he's escaped and Nick is spearheading the hunt to find him. If he could have appreciated the son he had in Jeremy, his life could have turned out so differently.īut he didn't so he ends up in a Nast prison, which is where we find him Thirteen. His relationship with Jeremy and Clay as well as his propensity for violence and cruelty make him a complex sociopath who's also oddly sympathetic. The attention to detail that Kelley's given to his development is great. In my opinion, Malcolm Danvers is the best villain/antagonist in the Women of the Otherworld series (and one of my favorite baddies from any book). MUCH better than the last Nick POV (IMO), and like I said, infinitely gratifying in regards to Nick and his eternal bachelor status. the rest you'll have to read for yourself.

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.įrom there Nick and Vanessa travel to Detroit, and. locate Malcolm, and the Pack take it from there. 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. 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. If you're like me, when the Malcolm bombshell got dropped in Thirteen, you nearly lost your mind. That they got off on the completely wrong foot, only makes me happier (b/c not nice, LOL). Not only do we get some depth, but finally, FINALLY, Nick meets a woman he'd liked to pursue a real relationship with. A rich and devilishly attractive werewolf, but that. I've always liked Nick well enough, but there was no substance. ***May contain spoilers if you haven't read WotO through Thirteen***īrazen is another Nick POV, and I'm really glad Armstrong decided to do a couple of these.
