Elena is not entirely self-aware, but she does have some internal knowledge of how she operates. It was interesting to learn about her upbringing and see how it meshed with her conversion to werewolf.
I guessed a great deal of it, but I was still on my toes throughout the book. In this case, the heroine is also a werewolf, but she is far less comfortable with her identity and all of its violent characteristics than the males around her.Īrmstrong also kept the tension (sexual and other) elevated by revealing Elena’s back-story only in dribs and drabs. I think it’s particularly effective in a “spooky” book because you have no idea what the monsters around the heroine are really thinking. Dead until Dark was written this way, as was Companions of the Night, and all the Anita Blake books. The first thing that I love about this book is that it’s written in my favorite paranormal format: 1st person point of view with a female protagonist. But going is trouble for Elena who will have to confront her werewolf family again, including sexy, arrogant, overbearing Clayton, who brings up their history whenever she returns, attempting once again to turn the past into the present. It seems that there’s trouble in the area, things happening that could expose the pack for what it is, and Jeremy needs some of Elena’s expertise. Then Jeremy, her alpha, calls and summons her back to the pack compound. She may not be very comfortable living in the city and fighting her werewolf urges, but she’s finally getting what she wants. She has a job as a journalist, a very nice boyfriend, and what looks to be a stable future. A little over a year ago she deliberately separated herself from her pack in order to establish herself in the human world and to try and have as close to a “normal” lifestyle as possible.
She wasn’t born that way she was bitten and made a werewolf when she was an adult. If you’re like me, and you’re always up for some romance served spooky style, Bitten, Kelley Armstrong’s first book, is one of the best on the menu this year.Įlena Michaels is a werewolf, the only female werewolf on the planet. Oooohh, I love a good monster story! Vampires, werewolves, the supernatural, the undead I just eat them up.
