Review of Bitten (Women of the Otherworld, Book 1)
- An addictive, deeply enjoyable thrill ride on the frontier of the feral and feminine...a debut novel of astonishing imaginative power from the future queen of suspense.
Elena Michaels slips out of bed, careful not to wake her boyfriend. He hates it when she disappears in the middle of the night, and canāt understand why any normal woman would crave the small hours of the morning, the dark unsafe downtown streets. But Elenaās skin is tingling, the pent-up energy feels like itās about to blow her muscles apart ā she canāt put it off any longer. She loves to run at the edge of the city, but she doesnāt have time to get there. She has to slink into an alley, take off her clothes and hide them carefully, and make the Change.
Elenaās trying hard to be normal. She hates her strength, and her wildness, and her hunger for food, for sex, for running in the night, for the chase and the kill. She wants a husband, children...even a mother-in-law. Or at least thatās what she tells herself.
And then the inevitable happens. The Pack needs her. The Pack she loves and hates is under siege from a bunch of disreputable and ruthless mutts who are threatening to expose them all, breaking all the rules that have kept them safe. The loyalty of her nature calls her home, and into the fight, which tests just who Elena is: the wild woman or the wistful would-be human.

Good but it made me sad
(to other aspiring writers)Do you ever have a moment your life when you have an idea and you think "wow I'm so original for thinking this! My book will be amazing!" Then you read something by someone else who had the exact same idea but what published before you? Yea. That's how Bitten was for me. I enjoyed the read but it kept me up at night wondering how to change my own novel. Her unique element is that the werewolves actually turn into wolves instead of some kind of demented human/wolf creature from Ginger Snaps.

I Love it!
If you like Anne Rice, you will like this. I love the werewolves almost as much as the vampires.

not usually my cup of tea
this book was bought for me while i was in the hospital. i don't usually go for the paranomal books...but i have to say, this was written excellently in first person. it gave good background where needed and seemed entirely believable. i was quite impressed with ms. armstrong's novel and as soon as i'm out i will be purchasing the next in the series to read. kudos to thought out characters, plot, and a intriguing and exciting read...i look forward to the rest of the series.

Unbearable......
I really wanted to like this book. I feel like I wasted two days of my life that I will never get back. I found the book long-winded with pages upon pages of useless words filling the book. Thank goodness I got this from the library because if not, I would be bored as well as pissed.

Fun book
Smart, sexy, adventurous - these are just some of the words to describe this book. Not only is it a good introduction to the characters of the Otherworld, but it's a fast-paced, well-thought out story as well. Armstrong has a clear understanding of who her characters are and their place in their world right from the beginning. I haven't read any of the other books in the series yet, but I know that I won't be let down.
Score: 4
