In
her debut novel Bitten, Elena Michaels
tries hard to be normal. She hates her strength, and her wildness,
and her hunger for food, sex, for running in the night, for the
chase and the kill. She wants a husband, children...even a mother-in-law.
Or at least that’s what she tells herself.
And then the inevitable happens. The Pack needs her. The Pack
she loves and hates is under siege from a bunch of disreputable
and ruthless mutts who are threatening to expose them all, breaking
all the rules that have kept them safe. The loyalty of her nature
calls her home, and into the fight, which tests just who Elena
is: the wild woman or the wistful would-be human.
Bitten is an addictive, deeply enjoyable
thrill ride on the frontier of the feral and feminine, a debut
novel of astonishing imaginative power from the future queen of
suspense.
"It's not easy to find a fresh
angle for the werewolf theme, but this debut novel from a Canadian
writer proves that solid storytelling and confident craftsmanship
can rejuvenate one of the hoariest of all horror cliché's….Filled
with romance and supernatural intrigue, this book will surely
remind readers of Anne Rice's sophisticated refurbishings of the
vampire story. "
Publishers Weekly
"Kelley Armstrong's frisky first
novel, Bitten….tells a rather sweet love story, and suggests
that being a wolf may be more comfortable for a strong, smart
young woman than being a human."
The New York Times Book Review
"As smooth as cream all the way, sure to gain
fans."

Suspenseful,
chilling and witty, Stolen is a novel
of rich and amazing versatility. In Stolen, on a mission for her
own elite pack, Elena Michaels is lured into the net of ruthless
Internet billionaire Tyrone Winsloe, who has funded a bogus scientific
investigation of the "other races" and their supernatural
powers. Kidnapped and studied in his underground lab deep in the
Maine woods, these paranormals-witches, vampires, shamans, werewolves-are
then released and hunted to the death in a real-world video game.
But when Winsloe captures Elena, he meets his match.
"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."
