Description
Fantasy. Fiction. HTML: 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 they hear of a series of gruesome maulings and murders outside Anchorage, she and her husband, Clay, journey to Alaska in the dead of winter in order to hunt down the dangerous werewolves. Trapped in this savage, untamed winter realm, she and Clay learn more about their own werewolf heritage than they bargained for, tapping a little more into the wild nature of the beast within..

There were other books I needed to read before this one, but it is a new Kelley Armstrong, and I couldn't resist going ahead and reading it, even though I knew it was about the werewolves, my least favorite of her Otherworld characters.
For that reason, it isn't my favorite book in the series. It
I think I don't like the werewolf characters as much because of how often they are forced to be very violent. Armstrong makes it justifiable, but i don't want it to be easy to justify.
As usual, Armstrong's writing, characters, and plots are excellent, and there is a fascinating set of shape shifters in this book. Overall, not my favorite, but Armstrong's worst is better than most writers best.

t has been ages since I’ve read any of Armstrong’s books. I think I sorta faded away from them with Broken. But that was way back in 2006, she’s had four more books in the series out since then, as well as some YA books in the ‘verse, not to mention the ooodles of short stories. And while

Solid. Elena and Clay are definitely one of my favorite paranormal couples, and reading about them is a visiting old friends situation. Frostbitten doesn't really explore much new territory, but it is a good little story.

Eleventh book in the Otherworld series; tenth book on the women. The focus of this story is back on werewolves Elena and Clay.
Elena is chasing a mutt (werewolf not in the pack) across the country trying to save his life while he runs from her believing he'll be killed. The chase takes her to Alaska
Clay struggles with a new generation of werewolves who no longer quake over his reputation, something cemented long ago when he tore a werewolf apart and took pictures for others to see. That one act kept a lot of mutts from challenging either him or Jeremy. Will he have to do something like that again to keep from having to fight all the time?
Elena is facing two struggles. One deals with memories of being helpless at the hands of a foster father and the other is Jeremy's plans for her. As the only adult female werewolf she's got to be that much tougher and show no weakness if she's to be accepted in her new role.
It's good to get back to Elena and Clay and see how much has changed for them and their relationship. Many years have gone by for them and their twins are now 3-1/2 years old. We have dialog with them over the phone. They are the first children born of two werewolves and no one knows yet what they're capable of. So it's not known by the readers if the sometimes more mature talk and actions of the twins is a result of their heritage or if the author is unfamiliar with children of that age.
The story contains a lot of action and we get to meet another type of creature and some more werewolves. I see a future story with one of them. All members of the pack make an appearance in this book.
This book can be read as a stand alone, but it is suggested that you at least read Bitten, Stolen, Broken and Men of the Otherworld for a better understanding of some things mentioned.

few werewolves there are in this world - only 25 in the entire USA pack? that feels small to me, esp as wolves are a pack animal and all the other wolves are mutts who don't have a pack... Anyways, that's a total asside. This book is set in Alaska where a strange confluence of events is going on. We meet all sorts of strange creatures, and have a few adventures. The only problem with such a well established series is that it's hard to have tension around Elena's or Clay's danger, because you know they'll survive. I found Elena's adventures to be slightly ridiculous from a p hysical perspective (how many back to back fights and chases can she endure?) but over all enjoyed the book. Show Less

Elena and Clayton are back in the latest addition to Kelley Armstrong's Women of the Otherworld series, Frostbitten. After failing to warn a young Australian werewolf of the danger he is in, Elena and Clay follow him to Anchorage, Alaska. But that's not the only reason for the trip. There have been
In Alaska, Elena and Clay encounter a werewolf living with wolves, a pack of Eastern European criminal mutts trying to take over, and a group of creatures out of folklore. As if that is not enough, Elena must deal with an unwelcome reminder from her past along with the pressure of learning Jeremy's plans for her future.
Kelley Armstrong's novels have always been some of my favorites. I love the series, but I'm glad that Frostbitten focuses purely on werewolf problems (and my favorite narrator) and not on those of the paranormal community. Learning of the fate of the Stillwells was always something I wondered at since reading Armstrong's novellas. The twins, Logan and Kate are adorable. Reading about how Elena and Clay balance being parents with their duties to the pack was intriguing. Hopefully it will not be long until the pack is featured again as the primary subjects in future installments of the Women of the Otherworld series.
Overall, Frostbitten, was a great and quick read. Kelley Armstrong's novels never lets me down. I also recommend her Nadia Stafford series about a female assassin (Exit Strategy and Made to Be Broken) and her young adult Darkest Powers trilogy (The Summoning and The Awakening).

character, and a no bullshit straight to the point kind of attitude. I love this, and feel completely at home when following her stories. I am impressed by the depth that Armstrong has built this character, and am happy to see her finally in a life that she finds comfort. Although, don’t underestimate that while life is calming down for Cole and Elena the adventures are never ending. Ultimately, the adventures may be the reality that upsets her perfect little world. While we do have this side story running throughout this novel; the main adventure of Frostbitten take the Elena and Cole to Alaska to find characters that starred in the recent novel Men of the Otherworld. Having read this additional novel I completely understood the addition of characters. Although, I fear that had a reader not read it they might struggle with understanding these key players in this novel. Not to distress , I still feel that this is an enjoyable story even if the reader had not read this additional novel. As a reader, I have been following this series for years now, and I always look forward to the next book. Although, I have always had a bit of trouble with Armstrong’s books because the pace seems a little slower than I am comfortable with. As for my notes of this cover; the Women of the Otherworld Series carry a theme with the pendant. This I believe is one of the best covers of the series. I love the model and look for that to be our Elena Michaels; while my assumption is that the wolf is supposed to be that of Cole. This cover is beautiful and a perfect addition to a great story.

I love Armstrong's Women of the Otherworld series. The novels in the series usually are first person told by a female supernatural--but different ones generally in each book: witch, half-demon, necromancer, angel--and in this case, as in the first two books, Bitten and Stolen as well as Broken,
I read and imprinted not on Bitten though, but the third book, Dime Store Magic, with Paige and Lucas. When I got to the first book, Bitten, I was rather disappointed they weren't there--and was less than taken with Clay, Elena's mate. At the very start of that very first book he's revealed to have made Elena a werewolf by biting her without her consent years before. I didn't *want* Elena to forgive him. Yet through the course of the different books, I have warmed to him, and I do like this development in their relationship--can Clay follow Elena's lead?
Besides the romantic/relationship thread, as in the other books Armstrong serves up an intriguing mystery in a well-developed and imaginative supernatural world. Her books are the kind you open and step into another world entranced until you close it thinking, where did the time go?

As if rogue werewolves and territorial shifters weren't enough, Elena is also dealing with memories of her past, as one of her foster fathers asks for her forgiveness for molesting her as a child. Armstrong navigates the emotional minefield of a recovering abuse victim, keeping Elena from repressing by pitting her against a hopped-up-on-steroids werewolf who gets his kicks from raping and killing young women, and continually attempts the same with Elena.
While toward the end of the book the conflict feels a bit crowded--two different packs fighting each other with occasional help or demands from the shifters--Armstrong skillfully keeps the action from being too confusing by focusing on Elena and her direct foe, the rapist-werewolf.
This is a quality addition to the OTHERWORLD series and I recommend it highly.

In particular, in this book, Elena and her husband, Clay, chase a non-Pack werewolf to Alaska, where there's all sorts of things going on. Between mysterious disappearances, an unexpected number of new werewolves, and meetings with old acquaintances, there's a lot going on plot-wise, but it all ties together nicely. And this is on top of Elena and Clay's continuing adjustments to being parents and being a bit older; the series does have very good continuity in this way.
The writing and style is what you expect of Armstrong at this point - there's good pace to the action scenes, good characters, some wry humor, and it's all enjoyable. There wasn't much that took away from this, except for some of the chase scenes in the dark, where things got a little confused for me... but maybe that was intentional.
Anyway, as with most of her books, I wouldn't recommend starting here, but if you know the series already, you won't be disappointed.

There is a lot going on in this book to tie together the many different threads that Clay and Elena must follow. Armstrong keeps things moving quickly but also provides down time to think things through, talk things over, and plan their next moves. The dialogue between Clay and Elena easily moves between playful, serious, and sexy. Elena shows her tough side when dealing with other werewolves but lets her guard down a bit with Clay. Armstrong writes such full characters along with the great story lines.
One thing that I really enjoy about this series is that the focus shifts to different characters for different books. This means that it isn't critical to read the books in order as long as you keep the books with the same main characters together. This was definitely to my advantage because I skipped over Frostbitten to read the hardcover of Waking the Witch because Savannah is one of my favorite characters. I thought the Savannah books might be my favorites of this series but I think Frostbitten actually beat Waking the Witch for me!

My Summary: Elena and Clay just beginning to adapt to their new lives as parents when they're called to find a rogue Mutt and warn him of the dangers he faces by hanging around with known man-eating werewolves Liam and Ramon (I know my Darkest Powers people just gasped). Instead of a calm, peaceful
Once they arrive, the couple realize they're dealing with a lot more than a rogue werewolf. There are reports of locals being killed in the woods by large wolf-like creatures, and when Elena is attacked by something in the forest, they decide they need to prolong their stay. On top of all that, problems from Elena's past have been re-surfacing, and she finds herself feeling weak just when survival depends on being strong.
My Thoughts: Yet another awesome read from Kelley Armstrong! I swear, I don't think she's ever written a book that I wouldn't read and adore every minute of. Frostbitten was actually one of the first Women of the Otherworld books I bought, because I has just read Stolen and Bitten and knew I was eventually going to buy it anyway because I was already obsessed with the series (plus it was on sale - you can't top that!).
In Frostbitten, you really see a lot of growth in both Elena and Clay. They're dealing with quite a lot in this book - emotionally and situation-wise - and the way they handle it makes them seem real and easy to relate to. I also love the fact that the characters acknowledge that they are getting older - it gets a bit tiring reading about characters who are eternally perfect (you know who I mean...).
Also, I loved the windigo reference! I recently read a novel that centered very heavily on that myth, and I loved that Kelley was able to include it into the book!
Final Thoughts: Another wonderful novel from Kelley Armstrong. I definitely recommend her series to fans of paranormal YA who are looking for something in the adult section (there's definitely some hot scenes in there :P).
