I just could not get into this book. I loved "Bitten" and "Stolen", but I found myself falling asleep as I tried to read "Broken". The story is so completely ridiculous. ( )

Elena and Clay have decided to embark on the greatest adventure of their lives....having a baby. Elena knew Clay and her pack leader, Jeremy, would be over-protective and in truth, she really doesn't mind so much. Especially considering her own concerns about everything from the change required by her werewolf nature to the fact that her pregnancy seems to be progressing at a faster than normal rate. But still, a little excitement to distract her wouldn't be so bad. When she is approached by a former demon associate with a foolproof, non-dangerous plan for stealing the "From Hell" letter purportedly written by Jack-the-Ripper, it is exactly the distraction she had wanted. However, like all things too good to be true, so is a non-eventful theft and when the letter turns out to be a zombie carrying portal into Toronto Elena, Clay and Jeremy wind up with more danger than they expected.

I really liked the idea of catching up with Elena's pack and as I had hoped, not having read the intervening books after "Stolen" did not turn out to be a problem in picking up the story. I enjoyed the interplay between the three main characters and how the story worked around Elena's pregnancy. The only problem is that I'm not really into mysteries so much as action so parts of the book kind of dragged for me. I think it could have been cut back a little in the "chasing zombies in circles" department. The other disappointment was that I knew who the criminal was almost immediately and it was kind of frustrating waiting around for the characters to catch on. Other than that I really enjoyed the story.

I'm not entirely sure I will read the other books in this series, although I will admit to an interest in seeing where Jeremy and Jamie's relationship goes. If I happen upon that book (whatever it may be) I might be tempted to pick it up. ( )

I love Kelley Armstrong's writing -- I really, really do. This book just bored me, though. Perhaps because I haven't read 'Bitten' or 'Stolen' but Elena has never sparked my interest. I tried to read this book, but it was all a numbed out haze. ( )

I got really into this book and read it very quickly, enjoying the mystery at the center of the plot, and enjoying reading the character dynamics even more.

This is the 6th book in the Otherworld series. Armstrong does not fail to satisfy. Elena's pregnant, which is huge for the only female werewolf. Add male werewolves who are bound and determined she's not going to do anything the whole time and Jack the Ripper, a zombie and a deadly disease and you've got a hilariously suspensful ride. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who's read the Women of the Otherworld series. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0553588184, Mass Market Paperback)

In this thrilling new novel from the author of Industrial Magic, a pregnant werewolf may have unwittingly unleashed Jack the Ripper on twenty-first-century—and become his next target.

Ever since she discovered she’s pregnant, Elena Michaels has been on edge. After all, she’s never heard of another living female werewolf, let alone one who’s given birth. But thankfully, her expertise is needed to retrieve a stolen letter allegedly written by Jack the Ripper. As a distraction, the job seems simple enough—only the letter contains a portal to Victorian London’s underworld, which Elena inadvertently triggers—unleashing a vicious killer and a pair of zombie thugs.

Now Elena must find a way to seal the portal before the unwelcome visitors get what they’re looking for—which, for some unknown reason, is Elena.
