 Stolen - Kelley Armstrong
 Stolen - Kelley Armstrong ... 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.Newest Review: ... specimens from the paranormal community for scientific research and is looking for further subjects. Before long, Elena soon ... more ... falls foul of these very same people and discovers that the man responsible for the abductions is none other than a highly successful and notorious business man, Ty Winsloe. But it is not just research he is interested in. Winsloe also wants subjects for his "Most Dangerous Game." A hunt that satisfies his video-game inspired hunger, Winsloe desires not just Virtual Reality but "Actual Reality" and what could be more challenging than hunting a man (or woman?) that can turn into a Wolf?

Elena Michaels is a very rare beast ~ she is the only currently known female Were-Wolf in existance; the problem being that only males pass on the genetic material to become a Lyncathrope and that females have to be created by being bitten. As it is unsurprisingly rare for humans to actually survive a Wolf attack, in most cases victims die after being bitten by a Were-Wolf. Elena is fortunate; lucky in the sense that not only has she survived but also in that she has been accepted into a Pack and has become the mate to her Pack's second-in-command who is also the Lycanthrope responsible for her condition. Elena spends her time in between writing a political ... Read the complete review

After re-reading the first book in Kelley Armstrong's Women of the Otherworld Series, I couldn't wait to re-read the second one, Stolen, and I wasn't disappointed. When you come across a new author its always a worry that sequels to the original won't be as good, but I had not need to be concerned about this author, if anything Stolen is better. The plot has you on the edge of your seat, and this is definitely one of those books you shouldn't read in bed when you have to get up early the next morning! Elena discovers that there are more paranormal species than just werewolves, and when she is taken captive to be studied by a team of scientists funded by a megalomaniac ... Read the complete review
