Bitten

Wasn't bad.

4 weeks ago

I will admit: I was completely taken aback by this book, because I have read The Darkest Powers books (The Summoning, The Awakening -- with The Reckoning coming out May 2010) as well as the Nadia Stafford series (Exit Strategy, Made to Be Broken), both by Kelley Armstrong, and absolutely fell in love with them. The writing, the characters, the narrator, the plot... everything worked for me. I've read all of the books more than once. And then I read Bitten, and I reeled at the difference in… + read more

Best Book Ever Written!

This review is from: Bitten (Hardcover)

7 years ago

This is indeed the best book I have read in a LONG time. Every time I'm in Chapters, and I see someone looking for an interesting book, I always highly recommend Bitten to anyone who enjoys a good read. Even if they don't read books of this nature, they always thank me later for the suggestion. Kelley Armstrong deserves many awards and be on the Top 10 Book's of the Year. Not to mention that Stolen is just as wonderful as the first novel. I can't wait for more. + read more

Definately read this if you're into paranormal

2 months ago

You read the title? Good. Really, if you're into paranormal series, werewolves, vampires, witches and all that jazz, this book/serie is one you need to read. Not only is Kelley Armstrong, the author, canadian, but also, the story is really good and the characters are just so great... You feel for them a lot and there aren't much that you dislike, honestly. One of my discoveries this year.

This was a terrific first novel. Kelley Armstrong really makes you understande her characters and the playful way she portrays the werewolves is endearing.

She does it again

3 months ago

Kelley armstrong once again creates an amazing novel; with strong, well developed characters and relationships mixed in with some good plots and twists with a whole lot of action is what makes bitten so fantastic. It took me a little bit to get into this book but once i was in i was hooked. The plot and the action for that matter just keeps going and going always making you flip the pages. I loved this book just like i loved her darkest powers series. I can not wait to get the second book… + read more

It was okay

4 months ago

I just started to read paranormal and fantasy books, so I was very hyped to read this book based on the modern werewolf theme and that it was a Canadian author; however was somewhat disappointed. I liked the characters and the storyline was unique but it was not a "can't put the book down" type of story. Would like to try another Kelley Armstrong book but a little hesitant at the moment.

Suspenseful and Provocative

5 months ago

Main character Elena's journey to figure out where she belongs (human world vs werewolf world) becomes quite frustrating as the answer becomes increasing clear, yet she continues to deny it as the truth. Other than that, I really enjoyed this and I look forward to the remaining books in the series. Her scenes with Clay quickly became my favorite, as the tension and frustration and desire between them is written with ease and kept me turning the pages. The author's ability to change… + read more
