You don't go to Armstrong if you want to be seriously frightened. The word ''Chills'' in the title overplays the spooky angle. Nor does she write for the laughs. None of the stories are funny exactly, but they are all fun. She has a lightness of touch which says this is all just a bit of silliness, but she laces it with lessons about family and friendship and trust and justice – and isn't afraid to throw in some serious violence when it's needed. In the definitively adult stories she also feels the need to throw in the obligatory sex scene, which I kind of wish she wouldn't – not because there's anything specifically wrong with the way she writes them, but just because they don't really add anything to the telling in hand. Otherwise, it's all light easy reading that keeps you turning the pages and wanting to know how it all turns out.
For more from the Otherworld, we can recommend [[Personal Demon by Kelley Armstrong]] or other werewolfish tales try [[Moon Called (Mercy Thompson) by Patricia Briggs]].  [[Kelley Armstrong's Otherworld Novels in Chronological Order]]
