Twilight Fans, This One's For You.

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.
