Women of the Otherworld Book One

Bitten by Kelley Armstrong

What was it about?

An erotically charged, addictive thriller from the future queen of suspense.
Living in Toronto for a year, Elena is leading the normal life she has always dreamed of, including a stable job as a journalist and a nice apartment shared with her boyfriend. As the lone female werewolf in existence, only her secret midnight prowls and her occasional inhuman cravings set her apart. Just one year ago, life was very different. Adopted by the Pack when bitten, Elena had spent years struggling with her resentment at having her life stolen away. Torn between two worlds, and overwhelmed by the new passions coursing through her body, her only option for control was to deny her awakening needs and escape.
But now the Pack has called Elena home to help them fight an alliance of renegade werewolves who are bent on exposing and annihilating the Pack. And although Elena is obliged to rejoin her "family," she vows not to be swept up in Pack life again, no matter how natural it might feel. She has made her choice. Trouble is, she's increasingly uncertain if it's the right one.
An erotically charged thriller, Bitten will awaken the voracious appetite of every reader, as the age-old battle between man and beast, between human and inhuman forces, comes to a head in one small town and within one woman's body.

What did I think?

I liked it. I was first introduced to the book from the TV show I found on Netflix. I don't know if its because I watched the show first but I think I for once liked what the did on the screen better than what they did in the book. A lot of it stays the same, the concept is all there, but the story takes different turns.  I like the twists the took in the show, though. It took  some of Elena's past and added more detail. The show made you connect more with certain characters and some of the fight scenes were more intense. But honestly both were good!

I am one of those people where even if the movie/ show is based off a book I can still give it a fare shot, so reading it reversed show then book was no different. I like both individually. I mostly listened to this book on tape on a long car ride home from a trip up to IL but the rest of it I was able to read on kindle. If you like warewolf books but are tired of the over played storylines I definitely suggest giving this book a try. It's different but it's really good!
