Bitten By Kelley Armstrong Review

Women of the Otherworld Series Book 1

Bitten Review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I know that this book came out a while ago but it is the first in Armstrong’s Women of the Otherworld series so I thought it deserved a review. I just recently reread it for the third or fourth time, I seriously have lost count, and would have to say that it is one of the best debut paranormal novels I have ever read and reread. It was recommended to me by a colleague that I would never have suspected would have read paranormal anything so I was hesitant at first. I wasn’t into werewolves; I didn’t see how they could be sexy or cool. I was a devoted vampire gal; Anne Rice all the way. But I finally gave in and I’m certainly glad I did; after about ten pages I was hooked. Not only does it take place in Toronto, Canada, a place that I am familiar with but I really liked the heroine, Elena, right off the bat. She’s a kick ass heroine and the only female werewolf in existence, so cool, and yes, very sexy!

Armstrong does a great job with making her characters real; every time I read one of her novels I feel like I’m returning to some old friends. (That might make me weird but as an aspiring author myself I would take it as a compliment if someone said my characters were their friends.) The plot is addictive; I could hardly put it down. (And yes, that is still the case every time I reread it.)

My only criticism is related to the sex scenes…too many…at odd times, once or twice slowing the action down, if you would believe it. Otherwise, I really bought into the story line and was thrilled that there was another two books already out for me to read once I had finished with Bitten. Armstrong has reinvented the paranormal genre, reviving the mythology and adding new life in a really cool way.
