The series is getting better, once the world is set the series gets better One of my favorites in a long line of great books from an amazing author. The way that she drops the supernatural into real life is brilliant....and the premise behind this book is exceptional. I actually liked this book more than her first, Bitten. From only reading Bitten and Stolen, Kelley Armstrong has very quickly become one of my favorite paranormal authors, with the Women of the Otherworld being one of my favorite series. I'm not sure if it's Armstrong's writing or the story or a combination of both, but with each book I find myself completely drawn into the book and can't put it down. My favorite think about this story is that it not only focuses on the werewolves this time, although they are a big part of it. Armstrong sets up for future stories by introducing Witches, Wizards, Vampires, Sorcerers, ect. Stolen is a very intense and dark book, but I absolutely loved it! A relatively new favorite author whose books I am searching out. This one wasn't exactly what I expected but it was good, nonetheless. Here we learn how the current Pack began to interact with the other races of the Otherworld and we meet Paige for the first time though the main female character is Elena. While I've been reading them out of order, those who like their series spoiler-free should probably start with the first one since many characters recur in later books. Some graphic violence and lots of paranormal action. no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0679312420, Paperback)In the tradition of Laurell K. Hamilton, a deliciously wicked sequel to Bitten, from Canada's new queen of suspense.Even though she's the world's only female werewolf, Elena Michaels is just a regular girl at heart -- with larger than normal appetites. She sticks to three feasts a day, loves long runs in the moonlight, and has a lover who is unbelievable frustrating yet all the more sexy for his dark side. Like every regular girl, she certainly doesn't believe in witches. Then again, when two small, ridiculously feminine women manage to hurl her against a wall, and then save her from the hunters on her tail, Elena realizes that maybe there are more things in heaven and earth than she's dreamt of. Vampires, demons, shamans, witches -- in Stolen they all exist, and they're all under attack. An obsessed tycoon with a sick curiosity is well on his way to amassing a private collection of supernaturals, and plans to harness their powers for himself -- even if it means killing them. For Elena, kidnapped and imprisoned deep underground, separated from her Pack, unable to tell her friends from her enemies, choosing the right allies is a matter of life and death.

As much as I enjoyed Kelley Armstrong's Bitten - the first book in the Women of the Otherworld Series - I really loved Stolen! Kelley Armstrong certainly has a knack for creating and developing an original supernatural world and keeping it fresh and entertaining for her readers. In Stolen, she continues the story of Elena's pack, adding other interesting legendary creatures such as witches, vampires, and half-demons. This series has a little something for everyone!
Stolen was a great follow-up to Bitten - excellent writing and containing an ever expanding set of captivating characters. The story is action-packed and fast paced, with incredibly suspenseful plot twists. The Women of the Otherworld Series is simply an outstanding addition to the paranormal fiction/romance world. I am happy I finally "discovered" Kelley Armstrong, and I will definitely continue to read the series. (
