Bitten

by Kelley Armstrong

Brilliance Audio | October 16, 2008 | Audio Book (CD)

I've got to get out of here - I don't have a lot of time left. Philip doesn't stir when I slip from the bed. There's a pile of clothing tucked underneath my dresser so I won't have to risk the squeaks and groans of opening drawers and closets. I pick up my keys, clasping my fist around them so they don't jangle, ease open the door and creep into the hallway. My legs now itch as well as hurt and I curl my toes to see if the itching stops. It doesn't. It's too late to drive to a safe place now-the itching has crystallized into a sharp burn. I stride out onto the streets, looking for a quiet place to Change. Young, beautiful, and successful, Elena Michaels seems to have it all. Her happy, organized life follows a predictable pattern: filing stories for her job as a journalist, working out at the gym, living with her architect boyfriend, and lunching with her girlfriends from the office. And once a week, in the dead of night, she streaks through a downtown ravine, naked and furred, tearing at the throats of her animal prey. Elena Michaels is a werewolf. The man who made her one has been left behind, but his dark legacy has not. And though Elena struggles to maintain the normal life she's worked so hard to create, she cannot resist the call of the elite pack of werewolves from her past. Her feral instincts will lead her back to them and into a desperate war for survival that will test her own understanding of who, and what, she is.

    A Good Start to the Series

    Elena is the only female werewolf who wishes she could fit into the human world. When she leaves her Pack and moves into an apartment with her human boyfriend, Phillip, in Toronto, she thinks that she can actually lead a normal life by day, and a lone wolf running through the streets by night.
    But when her Pack calls her back to New York in an emergency, Elena takes a trip back to her home where she finds things getting out of control. There seems to be some "mutts"-new werewolves that have been bitten-causing trouble in her hometown. And when some old faces turn up, Elena needs to figure out a way to save her Pack while staying alive.

    Bitten was a good start to Armstrong's Women of the Otherworld series. The plot was well written and kept me at the edge of my seat and the characters were all funny, witty and fun to read about. Armstrong did a good job of leading up to the climax and getting your heart thumping for the final fight. I really enjoyed this novel and I can't wait to get started on the sequel.
    4.5 stars.

    (The Chapters-Indigo website has been deleting my ratings so: I gave this book 3 out of 5 stars/leaves.)

    In general I liked this book and I do plan on reading the sequels. Overall the story was mostly enjoyable. It was interesting to read Armstrong's take on the werewolf mythos and the adventure was well done, as well as several humorous moments.

    My main criticism of this novel is that I found it difficult to accept some of Elena's (i.e. the main character's) choices. Call me strange, but I find it difficult to empathize with someone who finally winds up accepting murder -while I will admit her problem with this was a major theme in the story, she did wind up 'accepting her nature' in the end, as well as that of her mate.

    Just my 0.02$.

    Similar recommended titles (given here because of the weird problems I've been having with the Chapters/Indigo website and which they STILL haven't fixed):

    -Cry Wolf, by Patricia Briggs (and the prequel story in the collection by various authors, titled 'On the Prowl')
    -Stormwalker, by Allyson James

    I feel that Armstrong wrote this book peice by peice with careful thoughts to make this book PERFECTION! The twist between the love with Clayton and Elena, how she loves him so, but he is the one who made her a werewolf. As she still wants to live with humans as a regular, she finds Phillip. They live together for a year, but then Elena must come back to the Pack for a great problem that has occured. Elena falls for Clay agan, slowly forgeting about Phillip. This not only includes romance, but action, and a bit of comedy on the side. I love this book very much! Can't wait to read Stolen.
