I never liked Twilight, but every girl old enough
to know who Robert Pattinson is was off-her-rocker crazy about
Twilight. And so, I needed to find something just as addictive and
supernatural so that I could be that crazy, too. Crazy loves
company. I discovered The Women of the Otherworld by
Kelley Armstrong.
In Bitten, you get to know Elena, the world's only
surviving female werewolf. Werewolves and the like are still kept
under wraps, but those who are supernatural are aware that there is
only one Pack.Elena belongs, somewhat, to that pack. The problem is
that the Alpha's adopted son Clayton loves Elena. They dated
before Elena knew Clayton was a werewolf, before she herself WAS a
werewolf, and loved him. But loving humans isn't for the pack.
At least, not in the white picket, 2.5 kids, and dog named Spot
way. Desperate to keep Elena with him after being told to leave
her, Clayton bites her and she becomes a werewolf. Internal
struggles ensue as The Pack enlists Elena's help in tracking
down and offing a few rogue werewolves who are killing humans.Elena
must return to the life she ran away from and to the man who still
wants her. Great fun for all involved, and if you aren't
hooked, I'll eat my hat. (Which is plaid and totally cute so
please enjoy!)
The wonderful thing about this series is that during the course of
the book, the reader is introduced to a handful of intriguing
characters, all women with their own spin-off book in the
Otherworld series: Meet Paige, a witch in charge of her coven after
the murder of her mother. Or Jaime Vegas, a Las Vegas entertainer
who also happens to be a necromancer who also happens to be in love
with the Alpha of the Pack.
These books are addictive, intriguing, and quite sexy. Later books
involve demons, pregnant werewolves, Jack the Ripper, kidnapping
and more. The action never stops. The book is filled with witty
dialogue, captivating characters, and a bit of bawdy sex.
Why not our a glass of wine, turn off the phone, and relax with one
of these great books?
I hope you read this series and find it every bit as tantalizing as
I did.
