Stolen by Kelley Armstrong

Stolen (Otherworld, #2)

by Kelley Armstrong

'A taut, sensual thriller that grips from the first page. Elena Michaels is at once sublime and sympathetic, a modern heroine who shows that real women bite back' - Karin Slaughter

'There is nothing overtly gothic about this fast-paced, sexy thriller and its model contemporary heroine -- it's just that she's a werewolf who is trying to make a go of things among humans.' - Bookseller UK

Elena Michaels is a wanted woman. Ten years ago she was transformed into a werewolf by her lover. Her transformation makes her powerful. But in the wrong hands, it also makes her deadly.
And now, just as she's coming to terms with it all, a group of scientists learns of her existence. They're hunting her down, and Elena is about to run straight into their trap. But they haven't reckoned on Elena's adoptive family, her Pack, who will stop at nothing to get her back.

They haven't reckoned on Elena, either. And that's a very big mistake . . .

Although I rated them both 4 stars, I enjoyed [book: Bitten] better than this sequel, Stolen. Although they both follow Elena the werewolf, they're very different books - Bitten was about Elena's werewolf pack, and Stolen suddenly introduces a wide range of supernatural characters, from witches to vampires to half demons. I preferred the werewolf characters to the new ones, and was disappointed that Elena is separated from her pack for most a good 2/3 of the book. Also, stories where someone is being held captive always put me in a slightly panicked mood, so I wasn't thrilled that Elena spends most of the book captured by a wacky millionaire who wants his video games to come to life.

Aside from that, it was still an enjoyable enough read for me to finish it in one sitting. I already have book #3 on reserve at the library, although I'm reluctant to read a [author: Kelley Armstrong] book about someone other than Elena.
