This 2nd book from Kelley Armstrong in the Women of the Otherworld series sees again Elena Michaels where she meets two witches Paige and Ruth Winterbourne. In this book we see the introduction of several new characters. This one is my least favourite out all the 4 Women of the Otherworld books Kelley has wrote so far but, that's not to say I did not enjoy this one.

We see a new character Ty Winsloe who with the help of his scientists they study supernatural species often with fatal consequences, however this time they want to study a werewolf but, when Ty Winsloe catches Elena Michaels he doesn't realise he has met his match! Elena soon realises that when Ty captures he releases them again only to hunt them and kill them in a very bizarre version of a live video game.

We again see the return of Clay, the scenes with Elena & Clay are as brilliant as they were in Bitten, Jeremy also re-appears and he is not in this one as much as he was the first which I found slightly disappointing as I think he is a really good character.

This is as fast paced as the previous, and alsthough brilliant we see less of werewolves in this one whereas I would have preferred to see more. Some have said that this can be read as a stand-alone, I don't agree I think you need to have read Bitten to get the full story on this.

Sadly this is the last time we see a great deal of Elena until the fourth book, and I hear that the 6th novel is going to be centred on Elena which is great, she is my favourite character from the whole series.

I preferred this one to either of the following two (which I still enjoyed) as I'll admit I preferred the Pack to the magical characters that were the focus of Dime Store Magic & Industrial Magic. Really looking forward to getting hold of Broken...

I preferred this book to Bitten. I wasn't really going to continue reading these until I picked up Stolen, it just felt it had a stronger plot that was going somewhere, and I was interested in all the new characters introduced. I am now going to continue reading these books :)
