Rendition To Books Stolen (Otherworld #2)
It was in Bitten, Kelley Armstrong's debut novel, that thirty-year-old Elena Michaels came to terms with her feral appetites and claimed the proud identity of a beautiful, successful woman and the only living female werewolf.In Stolen, on a mission for her own elite pack, she is lured into the net of ruthless Internet billionaire Tyrone Winsloe, who has funded a bogus scientific investigation of the "other races" and their supernatural powers. Kidnapped and studied in his underground lab deep in the Maine woods, these paranormals - witches, vampires, shamans, werewolves - are then released and hunted to the death in a real-world video game. But when Winsloe captures Elena, he finally meets his match.

Stolen was nothing like I expected. Well, I wasn't sure what to expect, actually. Ms. Armstrong expanded the world she created in Bitten, to encompass other paranormal beings, adding witches, sorcerers, demons, and vampires to the mix. I liked how it was very much in the mode of realistic and everyday. The origins of these beings are not clearly stated, but speculated on. She doesn't ascribe good or bad characteristics to them overall, other than the sorcerers tendency to be more on the bad2.5 stars I read this book to fill the Shifters square of my 2018 Halloween Bingo card.I just dont know quite know why this series doesnt grab me. It had been a year since Id read the first book and I was actually looking forward to this second installment. The assumptions in Urban Fantasy are always ridiculous to those who dont like the genre, but this one seemed a bit more ridiculous than most. Take an ultra-insensitive billionaire, add his secret prison for supernatural creatures, and shake
Rating 3.5 stars. This story is a little departure from the first book in the series Bitten in that this story is not only about werewolves. In this story we are introduced to vampires, shamans, witches and half-demons. All of these beings apparently exist and this is the first time the werewolves learn about their existence. The reason that the werewolves find out that these other creatures exist is something is hunting supernatural creatures. Elana is kidnapped about 1/5 of the way through the
This is a really hard one to review. I think my opinion was skewed because of unmet expectations. I think if I gone into this book cold I would have enjoyed it a lot more. That's not to say I didn't enjoy it, but my opinion teeter-tottered throughout it. I finally decided on a four star grade because the end did pick up and once I was able to put aside my reasons for reading it immediately after Bitten I got caught up in it. I'd say that Bitten is a high four star while this one is a low four
I was thoroughly entranced by Bitten and could not wait to devour Stolen. While I was initially hoping for more of the same, i.e., Clay, Elena and The Pack, I knew that the Were world would not be the main focus of this story. I have to admit, at first I was a bit put out. Who cares about witches, demons, vamps and the lot? I want to run, and hunt and drool over Clay! Regardless of my hopes, I sat down with Stolen and attempted to put my pre-conceived notions aside, after all, Kelley Armstrong
I first started reading this ebook in October/November 2011 but I put it aside around the 40% mark because it wasn't holding my interest at the time. As part of a pick-it-for me challenge, I picked the title back up via audiobook and finished it. Stolen is the second installment in author Kelley Armstrong's Women of the Otherworld Series. When I read the first book Bitten, I fell in love with Elena's conflict between living with the pack versus as a human. This along with her and Clayton's
BR with my MacHalo buddy, Choko!If you read the first book in this series, Bitten, and like me, you couldn't stand Elena and you didn't want to continue, I would say give this second book a try. This book was SO much better than the first. Elena's character has grown and isn't so bitter and hung up on the past as she was in the first book. Also, all the relationship issues from book one have been dealt with so there isn't all that angst.I'm glad I gave book 2 a try. I'm actually looking forward
