Recruit is a short story, Otherworld Stories #9.6.
This is a short story written as an extra for Frostbitten. Recruit takes place before Frostbitten (Women of the Otherworld #10).
It has been many years since I read Frostbitten (I read it when it was released). But I adore Kelley Armstrong and the Women of the Otherworld series. I've gone back to try to find any stories that I've missed out on reading.
Recruit takes place before Frostbitten and features Clay and Elena. The story takes place in Buff ...more
a little too short to really be of interest but nice interaction of elena and clay
Elena a Clay get a tip about a potential man-eating mutt that leads into Frostbitten.
Free online very short story found on the author’s website. #9.6 of the Otherworld stories.
Takes place just before the book Frostbitten begins launching Elena and Clay’s trip to Alaska. They’re in Buffalo checking out a possible recruit for the pack.

Bitten once again by Kelley Armstrong's "pen".
Converted, addicted to anything written by her. Now scouring bookstores, the internet for her published work.
You can never get enough of Elena and Clay. Even after reading Frostbitten, a back story on the novel, no matter how short is still a welcome read.
The playfulness elicits a smile, the rough-and-tumble raises the suspense and every banter, every tender gesture tickles, with all the naturalness of true love between supernaturals.

Gave this 2.25 stars, rounded up out of necessity. This was a 5-page PDF that was at least more interesting than Checkmate had been. Still, seemed like a passage that certainly could have been added to a novel and expanded to perhaps a chapter. We'll see if it shouldn't have been added to Frostbitten after all, where the author says this scene was mentioned. Another too-brief disappointment, but at least we got to see Clay be Clay.
Clay and Elena have a meeting with a mutt who claims to want to become a pack member. However he instead indicates that he has evidence of a man eating mutt and is preapared to sell the information to them. Is it really a good idea to do that with Clay?
This was an amusing story that shows how dumb some of the mutts can be! I wish the story was a bit longer but it is nice to see some Pack activity again!

This was extremely short!!!!! It takes place before Frostbitten. As usual when I read Elena & Clay I think they're so great together, they have chemistry, they know each other. They are now looking to recruit new pack members and go to Paul Forbes, who in turn gives them information on man-eaters, which leads them to Alaska.
Basically a couple page prologue to the book Frostbitten, but it was not included in the book.
I would have preferred to read it just before reading frostbitten than happening to find/read it online after I have finished the whole series.

I'm literally not even going to count this is my book count... it's like three pages long.
At least this KIND OF introduces Reese who we've only really seen in Novellas which bothers the heck out of me.
Two starts for giving me literally three pages...

Cute, but extremely short, story of Elena and Clay meeting up with a mutt who gives them a tip on a man-eater that leads to .Frostbitten
Another great short story, and loved how stupid the mutt was, that he would consider joining the pack, that his information that led to Frostbitten merited 10 grand. Great story!!!

Great short story, to see how Frostbitten's plot was set off, and nice!

Super fast, only 5 pages. But I did like hearing about the recruiting problem, it was hinted at in Frostbitten but this clarifies some of the difficulties in actually finding a good recruit to join the pack.
This short highlights a situation that leads to the events in Frostbitten. Clay and Elena are still trying to recruit pack members but they find a lead that sends them looking for a rogue mutt with man-eating appetites.
This was a fun little quick read showing how Clay and Elena end up where they do in Frostbitten. There is a lot of discussion about how the pack is "recruiting" and looking for viable members. As usual, Clay and Elena are more than able to handle a mutt looking to extort money from them.

okay short story
Not really much to say about this, not really enough Clay and Elena to satisfy my cravings. This is a nice little teaser worth a read before getting stuck into Frostbitten.
Short story introducing another book. Not needed but because it part of the series I read it.
just downloaded it for free from her site ~to read yet
I love anything Kelley Armstrong writes in the Otherworld series. These short stories give us more insight into character we may not know very well or revisit those we love.
Recruit is a very short online story about Elena and Clay meeting a possible new recruit to The Pack
ooh really got into this, I wish it was longer, guess I have to read frost bitten!
This was a very short story written as an extra for Frostbitten.
It takes place before the book begins, and launched the investigation that eventually led Elena and Clay to Alaska.

Short and sweet and classic Clay/Elena interaction.
This was a quick, enjoyable read. I really love Elena's voice and I miss her character every time I read a different Otherworld book.
Nice tie between Bounty Hunt and Frostbitten. Enjoying my re-read of Otherworld Stories
Really really short :(
Too bad it's so short...
A VERY short extra before Frostbitten. It is merely an insight into how Elena and Clay come by information leading them to investigate in Alaska. It was alright, only a couple pages.

Kelley Armstrong has been telling stories since before she could write. Her earliest written efforts were disastrous. If asked for a story about girls and dolls, hers would invariably feature undead girls and evil dolls, much to her teachers' dismay. All efforts to make her produce "normal" stories failed.
