Frostbitten is Kelley Armstrong's fourth book narrated by Elena Michaels, the only female werewolf. It's a welcome return to the character and the more plot-oriented (as opposed to romantically-oriented) type of the author's books. (I mentioned in my post on the previous Otheworld novel). It's also a return to a single narrator, which I appreciate for multiple reasons, primarily, though, because I love Elena.

In Frostbitten, Elena and Clay head off to Alaska to deal with some maulings and deaths that look like the work of rogue werewolves. When they arrive, however, things are more complicated than they were supposed to be, leading to a great adventure.

I'm really happy with this book. It harkens back to earlier books, as I said before, and brings back my favourite characters. The author also adds to the mythology of her world in a way I didn't anticipate, but really enjoyed. I won't say more about that point here since it's an important plot point but I will say that I was thrilled with this book and it went by too fast.

Sexy and tough and all about werewolves! Elena is hot on the trail of a "mutt," a non-pack werewolf, and when his trail leads her to Alaska, her husband/mate Clay joins her. While they do manage to catch up with the mutt, they also manage to stumble upon a pack of criminal-minded mutts.

Elena and Clay are my favorite part of this series - sexy and complex and sexy... The story is interesting, though it takes a bit of a turn into "uh, okaaaaay" territory, and the action is great.

When a friend sent me Bitten to borrow I read it, loved it and rushed out to buy it. Of course then I had to buy all the others (up to about Industrial Magic at the time I think) and read and love them too. Since then I have continued to be hopelessly addicted to the Otherworld, awaiting each new fix with impatience. These days i've given up even trying to wait for the paperback so needless to say I rushed out and bought Frostbitten at the first opportunity. ( )

I loved seeing Elena again, being from her view point from the start, she has really gone on leaps and bounds from the charachter in Bitten. I adore this series, anyhow. Having Clay return was satisfying, ti was great to see that he had changed, a little bit and was much more accepting of Elena's way fo doing things. Lots of plot twists and seeing how things developed. Not a disappointing novel, new and old fans of Kelley's work are going to be very happy reading the latest installment in the Women of the Otherworld series. ( )

It's nice to revisit Elena and Clay, and I'm really glad their kids are cute, but well in the background. Mom sex is not hot. ( )
