[.ca] Stolen (ISBN 0770429025)

Amazon.ca:
When two desperate witches lure part-time journalist and full-time werewolf Elena Michaels into a carefully laid trap, she quickly learns that her perceptions about humanity are based on some fundamental flaws. In Kelley Armstrong's supernatural thriller, Stolen, the world is populated with vampires, demons, half-demons, magical shamans, and other supernatural races living anonymously among the human population--a concept that Elena has a hard time accepting, just as she struggled with her own lupine identity in Armstrong's remarkable debut, Bitten. But when Elena returns to her werewolf pack in upstate New York, pack leader Jeremy reveals that the threat people pose to the supernatural races should not be taken lightly. When Jeremy, Elena, and her lover Clay decide to take action to protect their pack, Elena gets kidnapped on the orders of a power-crazed billionaire. While being held captive she learns that while some magical beings are good and some evil, none are capable of more outright cruelty and savage betrayal than ordinary, non-magical human beings. Armstrong actively solicited reader input via her web site while writing the second title of her Women of the Otherworld series. This unconventional creative strategy sheds light on Armstrong's justified literary confidence. Her large cast of characters is fully realized, despite their great diversity, which ranges from insecure research scientists to unreliable half-demons, as well as Paige, an orphaned and highly volatile adolescent witch. Most gratifyingly, Armstrong's horror is tempered with a sly and very satisfying dose of humour: "Across the room was the Ladies Auxiliary snack table," Armstrong describes Elena's first impression of a conference of supernaturals under attack. The only thing missing was a blue-haired matron doling out goodies and guarding her cash box.... On the rear wall, a handwritten sign reminded snackers that coffee and doughnuts were a quarter each, followed by a red line clarifying that this meant fifty cents for both a doughnut and coffee.... I really hoped the Legion folks were responsible for the goodies and the sign. Otherwise... well, I didn't want to consider the alternative. --Deirdre Hanna

absoulutly fantastic:
i have to say this is the best sequal to a book i have ever read i bought the first book bitten when i was in a local airport and loved reading every bit of it the tension the attention to detail was amazing it had me waiting to see what happen's next it took me all of five hours to read this book thats how good i found it i just couldn't put it down after reading the first book i just had to have the second and i'm even more delighted to hear that the third book is out in the uk this year although it isn't following the main werewolf pack which i would of liked it to i still look forward to reading it and i hope kelley armstrong writes many more novels to do with elena and clay and her pack i would recamend this book to anyone who is intrested in the idea of werewolves and also anyone who enjoys a good story

Excellent:
I enjoyed this book as much as the first one. I love the idea of werewolves and other creatures. I'm looking forward to the third book.

Awesome:
i dont usually write reviews but this book was so good i thought i'd mind as well tell everyone lol

An Excellent Sequel and a Great Book!!:
I loved this book! it is full of adventures and excitement. If you enjoyed Bitten, then you will love Stolen. Stolen follows Elena, the heroine of Bitten. I found this book more enjoyable than Bitten because it has a wider variety of paranormal powers! We have werewolves and demons and witches and more! This book is definately worth reading!

A writer to watch - and read!:
I started with "Bitten", and traded it with a friend who started with "Stolen"; I think I got the better end of the trade . This book is an excellent sequel to a series that already had a strong start. The elements missing in the first book are fully present here, with a great plot, excitement, adventure, and some great mayhem. More than fulfilled the promise of the previous book, I am buying this so I don't have to trade something to re-read it!
