Elena Michaels, the only known female werewolf, cavorts on a more fully cultivated supernatural playing field in this sure-footed follow-up to Bitten (2001). While investigating a suspicious notice advertising information for sale about werewolves, Elena meets witches Paige and Ruth Winterbourne-and, to her misfortune, a team of mortal and supernatural commandos who abduct Elena and Ruth to a remote underground bunker in the wilds of Maine. There Ty Winsloe, "billionaire and computer geek extraordinaire," is collecting a menagerie representing all the supernatural species that coexist anonymously with humanity (vampires, werewolves, witches, etc.). While his scientists study such creatures in the hope of distilling their uncanny powers as salable commodities, Winsloe hunts those captives who have outlived their usefulness in cruel most-dangerous-game fashion. Elena's efforts to outsmart Winsloe long enough to apprise her Pack of her whereabouts are complicated by a werewolf wannabe among the captors. Though the tale is pretty much a prison-break story spiffed up with magic, Armstrong leavens the narrative with brisk action and intriguing dollops of werewolf culture that suggest a complex and richly imagined anthropologic backstory. The sassy, pumped-up Elena makes a perfect hardboiled horror heroine, with enough engaging attitude to compensate for the loose ends left untied to set up her next adventure.

Back to Woosang

To reduce my luggage in Feb, I am passing this book to Catsalive at the Westie meeting.

I didn't like the character Elena Michaels much when I read 'Bitten', but I thought I'd like to complete her story with 'Stolen'.

This book was much better than 'Bitten'. Elena was more likeable, there was more action & a bit of humour, and Elena & Clay were getting along better. Worth the read.

Thanks, woosang. Off to amberC next. Posted 8/3/6.

one of 13!!! books received today. I will read it ASAP.

i couldn't wait to read this so it ....ummm...crept up the TBR pile.

i enjoyed it a lot. i liked seeing the relationship between Elena and Clay develop. i enjoy the humour. The introduction of the other paranormal characters makes me wonder what will happen next in this series.

i will pass it along to Sally next time i see her.

Picked up at our meet-up today :)

Loved it - have had a bit of a set back health wise so was forced to lie in bed and read - LOL!!!

I loved the introduction of the new characters, Savannah and Paige, Adam the half-demon was fun too :)

Will return to Woosang.

Sending Germany for a stay

The book arrived today, after two looong month of traveling. I was already worried it had gotten lost in the mail.
