Kelley Armstrong

As my first post in this new blog - books reviewed by *ahem* yours truly... I decided to give a fellow Canadian the honor of being mentioned.

Kelley Armstrong is a new writer from Canada, and I got hooked into her by the recommendation of another author while I was browsing on the internet. After reading her first novel, Armstrong was able to get her claws into me, as one of her permanent fans. I'm not surprised if there are many others that Armstrong's writings have clawed into her world of "Women of the Otherworld".

The first book, Bitten, talks about a werewolf pack, and there is only ONE female werewolf in the entire pack, and she was bitten by one of the other males who couldn't imagine life without her. But it's not a romance novel, mind you. There are adventures, there are a lot of struggles that the werewolves go through just to maintain a normal life. It's quite fascinating. The second book, Stolen, introduces other characters from other supernatural races, witches, sorcerers, vampires, demons. From that second book on, Armstrong is able to spin a big tale surrounding each or one of the races. Her following novels: Dime Store Magic, Industrial Magic, Haunted and Broken meets expectations.

Kelley Armstrong also has her own website: www.kelleyarmstrong.com, this is a cool website - it has the synposis of all of her books, as well as three prequels (online novellas) prior to her first novel - Bitten, and some other online novellas that shoot out of the novels. A must visit!

This is a series that I recommend to those who have a love for the supernatural/fantasy genre (werewolves, witches, vampires, sorcerers, demons, etc.)

I recommended to a friend and lent her the first two books, she finished them both in like 2-4 days, and then lent her the next two books, she said that she was so fascinated by those books and she kept reading and reading, and she couldn't put the books down! She has an interest in the supernatural, so this kind of book is ideal for those who enjoy this genre.

More authors to come soon - but Kelley Armstrong had to be the first to get the honor of being mentioned in this blog first!

Til next time, keep reading and flipping those pages!
