Book Number 71

A much anticipated novel. I really Love Canadian author Kelley Armstrong. She does "supernatural" well.


The Novel: Frostbitten
The Author: Kelley Armstrong


Synopsis (Taken from the author's web page):


The Alaskan wilderness is a harsh landscape in the best of conditions, but with a pack of rogue werewolves on the loose, it’s downright deadly.
Elena Michaels, the Pack’s chief enforcer, knows all too well the havoc “mutts” can wreak.
When word comes of a series of humans apparently killed by wolves near Anchorage, Elena and Clay are sent to check things out. But they find more than they bargained for among the snow and trees of the savage Alaskan wilderness.

My Thoughts:
I am never disappointed when I read a novel written by my fellow Canadian Kelley Armstrong. (I'm a little patriotic today)
My favourite character in the Otherworld Series is Elena Michaels. Frostbitten doesn't disappoint on any front; character development or plot.
It was great to see Elena back in action and kicking ass. The action was non-stop and thoroughly entertaining.
This book is the 10th (I believe) in the otherworld series, so you have to definitely read the other novels before this one.....but if you've read them before, then there's nothing new I can tell you. It's the same style of well written, entertaining, action packed adventure that Kelley Armstrong is famous for.

I give "Frostbitten" a rating of 4 out of 5.

I cannot wait until August. Waking The Witch will be released and I'm so looking forward to more from this author.

Book Number 47

Book 47 done! Yay! But that means I still have 3 more books to read before tomorrow if I want to meet my mini goal of 25 books in a month. Hubby has graciously taken Little Miss out to play and he will happily spend time this evening playing video games...so who knows, I may just be able to complete my goal.

The Novel: Men Of The Otherworld
The Author: Kelley Armstrong

As a fan of Kelley Armstrong and her Otherworld series, I was glad that she had written Men Of The Otherworld. I enjoyed the look into some of my favourite character's pasts. It's nice to see the story and the motivation behind the characters and their behaviours.
The book was well written and kept me entertained the whole way through. This is a book that a person could read without having read the other Otherworld books.
Fans of Kelley Armstrong should definitely read this book, and those who have not read her books before, Men Of The Otherworld is a good place to start.

I give "Men Of The Otherworld" a rating of 4.5 out of 5.

Now enough blogging for me, time to get reading again.....deadlines, deadlines. Fortunately for me I work best under pressure.

Book Number 31

I waited for this book for what seems like FOREVER.

The Novel: The Awakening
The Author: Kelley Armstrong
Link:http://www.kelleyarmstrong.com/aAwaken.htm

This book is the second novel in the Darkest Powers Trilogy. This book doesn't give you a back story into the first book (titled: The Summoning) Therefore, it is imperative that you read the first novel in the series to understand anything that is going on at all.
I did read the first book so I was well informed, and sucked into the story deep enough that I was waiting (not patiently) for this novel to finally get published and into my library.
This book was as well written as the first and I got an even better look into the character's lives and their motivations.
I read this book really quickly, as I needed to know what would happen next. Of course the book leaves you hanging at the end, and I will have a real hard time waiting until May 1st, 2010 for the 3rd novel (The Reckoning) to be released.
This book is well written, action packed and a pretty good tale that kept me entertained. It is a Young Adult fiction, but other than the fact that the characters are teens it is written well enough that people of any age (apart from little kids of course) will enjoy it.

I give "The Awakening" a rating of 3.75 out of 5.

I wish that the next novel would be released sooner, why can't these writers write faster dang it?!
