Ok... My Kelley Armstrong binge is not quite over yet, but almost. I just have Haunted left to read out of the Women of the Underworld series, but I'm saving that for the my upcoming trip.
Frostbitten is the most recent book of the series, and it is about my original favorite character - Elena the werewolf. Knowing the characters just helps me get into the story right away, and this one jumped right into the story. In this novel, Elena is chasing a rogue, non-pack werewolf (aka. Mutt) across the USA and into Alaska, where she and Clay encounter more man eating werewolves who try to kidnap and rape Elena but of course are trumped and destroyed. We also meet a previously unknown supernatural - Ijiraat, Inuit shapeshifting creatures who live in natural seclusion. In this novel Elena deals with her past, not with Clay, but with her abusive foster fathers. She also deals with the idea that she is in line to be the next Alpha, and works to overcome her personal insecurities on gaining the position.
I really liked this book, just because I've followed Elena's character from the beginning, and it's just nice to see her in a place where her character is genuinely happy, though still a bit insecure. It was really cute to read Elena and Clay's interaction with their children, and their interactions with each other. Clay is less agile and menacing... or older and wiser depending on how you look at it. The pack gains some new potential pack mates, while we meet a few former pack mates who were just so submissive you're glad they were never part of the story.
