Kirkus Reviews

"There's nothing overtly gothic about this fast-paced, sexy thriller and its model contemporary heroine—it's just that she's a werewolf who is trying to make a go of things among humans. When her pack is threatened by a new group of violent psychotic werewolves she is drawn back into the old ways."

Bookseller

"Brings a new brand of ferocity to horror literature…
Bitten
is a lightning-paced, violent and completely readable entertainment that entertains loudly and abundantly."

—
The Hamilton Spectator

"Wicked writing gets noticed, and first-time novelist Kelley Armstrong has written a deliciously wicked book… This is no ordinary werewolf tale, but a werewolf mystery with a huge dollop of romance thrown in."

—
Toronto Star

"The plot of
Bitten
has echoes of the best crime thrillers… the story is fast and entertaining. But what makes the novel so gripping is Armstrong's talent for vivid description and her interest in both the sensuality and psychology of werewolfhood, a fascination that greatly enhances the world she creates while never slowing down the break-neck plot. At every turn, her depiction of physical sensation is precise and compelling.... Surely one of the sexiest, most energetic novels published in a long time… [A] Canadian mother of three who hails from rural southwestern Ontario has created a smart, original thriller, destined to keep people reading on into the night."

The Gazette

"Armstrong has a definite talent for sensual descriptions. The wolf creatures are vividly created in gestures and behaviour, and most of the

sexual encounters would knock one's socks off (not to mention other things)."

National Post

"
Bitten
is hip and postmodern___Those who enjoy the vampire books of Anne Rice, or Canadian vampire writer Nancy Kilpatrick, will love it."

—
Globe and Mail

"A very contemporary, funky supernatural thriller with a particularly provocative heroine."

Hello

"A hair-raising story for the she-wolf in us all."

—Shannon Olson, author of

"Entertaining new take on an old thriller story form. Makes Buffy look fluffy."

Daily Express

"A tasty confection of werewolves, sex and vendettas—After the first nibble it's quite hard to stop… Elena and her acid repartee successfully steal the show throughout, she has bags of charm. Gory, sexy fun."

SFX

"Good slick fun; expect the television series soon."

Praise for Kelley Armstrong's

STOLEN

"Elena Michaels, the only known female werewolf, cavorts on a more fully cultivated supernatural playing field in this sure-footed sequel to
Bitten
…

[
Stolen
is] 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 back story. The sassy, pumped-up Elena makes a perfect hardboiled horror heroine.... This novel will please not only horror fans but also mainstream readers who like strong female characters."

—
Publishers Weekly

"In
Stolen
, Kelley Armstrong delivers a taut, sensual thriller that grips from the first page.

Elena Michaels is at once sublime and sympathetic, a modern heroine who shows that real women bite back."

—Karin Slaughter, New
York Times
bestselling author of
Blindsighted
and
Kisscut

"Like
Bitten, Stolen
paints a perfectly convincing portrait of a woman who quite literally runs with the wolves… Armstrong has created a persuasive, finely detailed otherworldly cosmology—featuring sorcery, astral projection, spells, telepathy and teleportation—that meshes perfectly with the more humdrum world of interstate highways and cable news bulletins… More than just a thriller with extra teeth,
Stolen
is for anyone who has ever longed to leap over an SUV in a single bound, or to rip an evil security force to shreds, or even just to growl convincingly."
