Frostbitten (Women of the Otherworld Series #10)

Elena Michaels Returns Again

I was so excited when I received the ARC for this book a few weeks ago. Now as exciting as ARCs are I normally don't get all giddy over them. What made this one so cool to receive, other than I love Kelley Armstrong, was the fact that I won it from the author herself. She was holding a Twitter contest and I was one of five winners of a signed ARC of her new novel.


Here is the synopsis of the book:


The Alaskan wilderness is a harsh landscape in the best of conditions, but with a pack of rogue werewolves on the loose, it's downright deadly. Elena Michaels, the Pack's chief enforcer, knows all too well the havoc "mutts" can wreak. When word comes of a series of humans apparently killed by wolves near Anchorage, Elena and Clay are sent to check things out. But they find more than they bargained for among the snow and trees of the savage Alaskan wilderness.


Of all of Kelley Armstrong's characters Elena Michaels has to be my favorite so I tend to enjoy her books all the more. This book was no exception. It had everything I love and quite a bit more.


The interaction between Elena and Clay and that way it has progressed throughout the series of books has been a joy to read. Their relationship in this books seems stronger and more adult (if that is the right word). They seem to have matured as individuals and as a couple. Maybe that's what having kids does for you, it has for me at least.


I won't get into the plot specifics, because I want you to experience them for yourself, but I will say you will meet a new race of Others as well as potential new pack mates.


If you are a fan of her work this new novel by Kelley Armstrong will not disappoint. If you are new to her books this is a good sample of her skill as a writer.

Keeps me coming back for more

It was great being back with the pack and having them deal with mutts again. They lost two great pack wares in the first book. This books finds them picking up two, possibly three young male mutts to help rebuild their strenghts in numbers. Elena and Clay are at their best in this continuing story of their lives. Can't wait to see what Kelley has planned for them next. Nick could see what he was missing with Elena and Clay as mates and having twins in an earlier book. Later he decided settling down was for him in the near future. It's great to see him taking two of the young mutts with him to care for and educate in the ways of the pack. The shape shifters were an unexpected surprise, didn't see that coming.

An Engrossing Read

I love Armstrong's Women of the Otherworld series. The novels in the series usually are first person told by a female supernatural--but different ones generally in each book: witch, half-demon, necromancer, angel--and in this case, as in the first two books, Bitten and Stolen as well as Broken, it's Elena Michaels, the one and only female werewolf. I read and imprinted not on Bitten though, but the third book, Dime Store Magic, with Paige and Lucas. When I got to the first book, Bitten, I was rather disappointed they weren't there--and was less than taken with Clay, Elena's mate. In that very first book he's revealed to have made Elena a werewolf by biting her without her consent. I didn't *want* Elena to forgive him. Yet through the course of the different books, I have warmed to him, and I do like this development in their relationship--can Clay follow Elena's lead? Besides the romantic/relationship thread, as in the other books Armstrong serves up an intriguing mystery in a well-developed and imaginative supernatural world. Her books are the kind you open and step into another world entranced until you close it thinking, where did the time go?

Interesting

Kelly Armstrong's first book had me hooked and ever since then I hav been a devoted follower of Clay and Ellena. The exciting things that have happened through out all the books have all had me on edge of what would happen next. I was a little disppointed that the kid's were not involved as much in the book but I can't want to see if they are in the next. Armstrong has a great imagination and adds great new characters in everyone of her books. This book might not have had as much drama as the others but it was exciting to read.

Frostbitten is the best book so far this year i have read. It really keeps you guessing and intoxicated in the happonings.

Kelley Armstrong is a wonderful job on this book. I love the book and i couldn't put it down either.

Great read!

Once again Kelley Armstrong goes above and beyond. I can't get enough of Elaina, Clay and the pack. Loved it.

excellent

another hit for armstrong

One of my favorites

This by far is one of my favorites, ofcourse C, E, J are easily my characters to read about. I felt that the book had twists in just the right spots and timed the book clutching moments perfectly. I was able to fly through this book in 2 days flat, I loved the plot and that she changed their location to help keep things fresh. I will say that I liked the original book cover with the blonde wolf/woman on the front, this new one is boring, doesn't tell a story or make someone who is "cover-shopping" want to stop and pick up this book to see what it's about. Food for thought publishing peeps, other than that I highly recommend this book. It's a huge step up from that total flop Living With The Dead, geeze now there was a disappointment!

Loved it!

This book was great all the way through. I hated having to put it down. I could have read the whole thing in one day it was so good. My favorite of the werewolf books.

My Favorite So Far

I loved this story! It is my favorite so far of the series. I'm really happy with the way Elena and Clay's relationship has grown. Now having the twins to raise it seems that they have really grown and are a finally a real team. I'm really pleased with the way things turned out. The story was very suspenseful and kept me on my toes. Great writing!!!

I CAN'T WAIT

Kelley Armstrong fell into my lap with a bunch of short stories I bought, after getting hooked on Kim Harrison's: Rachel Morgan series. Since then I have purchased all of Kelley's: Women of the Otherworld series and upon receiving the last 4 books of the series, noticed that Frostbitten would not be in production and mailed out until July 2010... With not all the books being available in Hard Cover, I'm not caring that I mess up my collection with the Hardcover available and since reading your reviews I just have to get this one.... Can't wait to read

An excellent installment in this series.

I've been a Kelley Armstrong fan for awhile now. I'm a huge fan of the werewolves and have been waiting for their return for quite some time.-I can tell you now I was not disappointed in this book. I couldn't put it down until a had finished it. Elena Michaels and her husband/mate Clayton Danvers are chasing down a young werewolf immigrant who is being set up for maneating. They follow his trail to Alaska where they all run into more mutts causing trouble and looking to start a fight. They also run into former pack members and meet some potential pack members. They also discover that werewolves aren't the only shapeshifters running around Alaska...

Great book

I love this whole series. Great author, great books. This one is no exception.

WOW!

Ok I had been anticipating this book, I couldn't wait for it to come out. After I finished reading it I swear it had become my new favorite! Kelley Armstrong is one of my many favorite authors and I can't wait to see if she will be adding a new addition to Women of the Otherworl Series!

Gotta read it!

Loved this book. Great read and continuation of Elaina and her family.

Great read

Loved all the previous in the series, this one did not disappoint. Can't wait for the next one!

LOVE THIS BOOK

This Book was great. I got caught up in it and could not put it down. Can't wait till the next book comes out!!!!!!!!!!

Elena kicks butt!

Good read. Elena really takes the lead in this one. Plots in the story lay ground work for more books in this series.

My all-time favorite author..

I have one chapter to go but I am trying to put it off.. it's always depressing to finish any of Kelley's books because then you know youre in for a long wait for the next installment...

Anyway, this is yet another great read from her and I have a very hard time finding authors that come close to keeping me so inthralled in ther storyline.

Great book!

Another A class effort!
