Women of the otherworld 1 Bitten - Kelley Armstrong

Summary:

Elena lives with Phillip… quietly? Not so much, since she’s a werewolf. And the only female of a species, nothing less! Still, she tries to live a normal life, hiding to her boyfriend the truth about herself. Some nights, she undergoes the change. But a year after she left the pack, her former family calls for her. Some werewolf, unrelated to the pack are responsible for bloody murders on the Canadian pack’s territory. Elena has no choice but to come back to her true family... and so she has to face Clayton: the one who broke her heart... But also the one responsible for her change: he took everything away from her: a normal life.

 

Review:

“Bitten” is the first book of the “Women of the otherworld” series which is so hot right now. But it’s also the author’s first book. And it’s a success. Written in first person (which most of the times bugs me), the style is impeccable. The story is complex, almost as much as her main character. Elena’s torn between a normal and reassuring life and the passion that burns inside of her for Clay and the pack. Despite some rare pieces that went for a bit long, the story is well told. Some hot parts are quite precise (they want us to believe that there is no sex without orgasms for the female werewolves!). Very cynical… To sum it up: a very good book!

She will try her best to get out with the help of the other inmates. Meanwhile, Clayton, Jeremy and Paige will try to find the center in order to break in and save their friend. And they'd better hurry before she becomes a prey...

 

Review:

Once again, Kelley Armstrong is offering us a great book. Her writing is addictive. The author takes the characters she introduced in her first novel and adds new spiecies (which will be the heroes of her future books). The story gets more interesting with the addition of Paige and Savannah (the whitches) who are nice characters, unlike the lady vampire and her weird comments. As for Adam, the half demon specialized in fire, he's just awesome ! The idea of a lockdown in the center is quite good, and it makes you think of the fourth season of Buffy the vampire slayer (by the way, Elena has a funny comment about that !). The tone is then set, and has kind of a supernatural Prison break vibe, with all the creatures helping each other to try to find a way out. But the best thing about this book is that Elena is narrating.  She's a strong woman with a big temper. She's also very sarcastic, and the book gets very funny. The reader will see everything through her eyes. The love scenes between Clay and Elena will probably be appreciated by some, but I could do without. Thankfully, the story isn't completely about their relationship. I was sorry to see the second female werewolf die, it would have added some spice to a sequel. To conclude : the book is great and you should read it !
