Product Reviews
 (5 stars) - The Werewolves Strike Back!
After losing her way with books featuring her secondary and less-interesting supernatural women, Kelley Armstrong has hit paydirt with this thrilling and sexy werewolf novel. Elena Michaels' makes a triumphant return as she and her husband, Clay, trek to Alaska to take down some renegade werewolves. While there they encounter some other supernatural shape-shifters, which lead to one of this series most harrowing passages as our heroes make their way through the desolate Alaskan wilderness while being pursued by unknown enemies.
Armstrong isn't shy about torture, violence, or sex, so don't let your little kids read this one.
An excellent return!
(5 stars) - Frostbitten - Women of the Otherworld
I love the fact that Kelly Armstrong is getting back to the "core characters" rather than continuing to add more new characters. I am looking forward to more stories with all of the members of the "Council" interacting to fight the bad guys.
 (4 stars) - Entertaining
---REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS------
An Elena and Clay book is always fun. This one was no exception. Although some of the tropes got annoying at times, overall this was a worthy successor to the werewolf/pack series and well worth the purchase, even if it was a trifle short.
Elena and Clay are in Alaska, this time investigating some suspicious deaths, and catching up with an old pack mate and his son who became estranged when Jeremy took over as alpha. Clay and Elena discover that this packmate has been murdered by evil rapacious mutts and while hot on the trail, they discover an unusual creature in the backwoods.
I had a few minor nits to pick with this book.
First, I listened to the audio edition, and the narrator did a poor job on Jer's voice. He sounds way too `growly.' His voice should be more soft, not guttural like a caveman. I found it distracting whenever he spoke. Fortunately, this was not often.
Second... I know I'll get flack for this, but I found Elena and Clay's kids kinda annoying. Yikes. These overly precocious kiddies were a little...much. I'm far more interested in the goings on with the adults, but these kids were way too smart, cutesy and precocious. They seemed kind of bratty and demanding, especially towards Jer who seems to be reduced to a glorified babysitter. It's bad enough that they are twins which sort of edges them into Sue territory, but I found them irritating and overdone. I hope they have another-normal- child to balance out the `wonder twins..'
Third, the `everyone wants Elena because she's hawt' got a bit old. I get she's the only female werewolf. But please. All the bad guys, men on the street, and magical creatures seem to want to do is shag her. Enough. I get she's attractive. But please. Not every male-special scent or not is going to want Elena. Which brings me to... I found the adult scenes a bit strange in this one. Particularly the gym scene. That and the destruction of the hotel room seemed inconsiderate and showy, like the author was trying to convince the audience that these people were passionate. But I guess it is hard to come up with something new.
Lest you think I have only criticism for this story, I don't. I really did enjoy it. But there were parts that seemed a bit off.. I enjoyed seeing Nick who I really adore, and I like the potential new additions to the pack. I also enjoyed the setting- Alaska, and would like to see this locale explored more in depth. The new 'race' didn't thrill me that much, as they seem not much different than the weres, but I like the idea of the Russian pack which is intriguing. Perhaps we'll get an European adventure.
4 stars. Good fiction, an enjoyable romp. Some minor nits. Well worht a listen.
(5 stars) - Great Entertainment
Too bad this didn't come out before I took my annual trip to South Beach. It would have been the perfect beach read. Kelly Armstrong never disappoints, her series don't get worse as they go along, they get better or remain just as strong.
Unlike others, Clay and Elena are not my favorite characters but they seem to have grown and matured so much just like real people would do. It is my opinion that Kelley Armstrong is a the best writer in this genre. Her stories are always interesting, the dialogue is realistic and characters are reasonably complex.
I read it slow so I could stretch out the enjoyment as long as possible. Take my advice and do that too
(5 stars) - The colder the bite
Being that I'm a huge Kelley Armstrong fan to begin with...I was incredibly excited when I saw "Frostbitten" had arrived. It didnt disappoint. Clay and Elena are still going strong and giving werewolf fans alot to chew on! I recommend that if you like to commune with werewolves, vampires and witches, this is the series of books for you. Those popular vampires that are running amok these days have nothing over Armstrong's grown up werewolves.
