Book Description

September 29, 2009
Smart, sexy, supernatural—the men and women of the Otherworld live and love, fight and die, among us. Unseen and unsuspected, this realm of witches, ghosts, and werewolves is now threatened with exposure by a brutal series of bizarre murders that has left even the supernatural world baffled—and cold with terror….

Being the world’s only female werewolf has its advantages, such as having her pick of the Otherworld’s most desirable males. And Elena Michaels couldn’t have picked a more dangerously sexy and undyingly loyal mate than Clayton Danvers. Now their bond will be put to the ultimate test as they follow a bloody trail of gruesome slayings deep into Alaska’s frozen wilderness.

There’s nothing the werewolf community dislikes more than calling attention to itself. So when a pair of rogue man-eaters begins hunting humans, it’s up to Elena and Clayton to track down the predators. But any illusions their task would be simple are quickly dispelled. For even in werewolf terms, there’s something very disturbing taking place in the dark Alaskan forests. A werewolf more wolf than human and more unnatural than supernatural is on the hunt—a creature whose origins seem to spring from ancient legends of the shape-shifting Wendigo.

And if that wasn’t bad enough, Clayton and Elena find themselves confronting painful ghosts from their pasts—and an issue neither of them is eager to discuss. For one of them has been chosen to become the new Pack leader, and as every wolf knows, there can be only one Alpha. They’ve always been equals in everything. Now, when their survival depends more than ever on perfect teamwork, will instinct allow one of them to lead…and the other to follow?


Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

The gripping 10th installment of Armstrong's Women of the Otherworld series returns to one of her most popular werewolves, Elena Michaels (last seen in 2006's Broken). While chasing a gullible Aussie werewolf to warn him about two rogue werewolves who are trying to frame him for half-eating two Pittsburgh humans, Elena and her mate, fellow Pack enforcer and anthropologist Clayton Clay Danvers, follow his trail to Anchorage. Armstrong conveys the beauty of the Alaskan wilderness while the couple investigate more crime scenes featuring more mutilated human corpses. Elena makes a great Alpha-style leader as she holds her own against male beasts and solves the well-crafted mystery. New readers may be baffled by Pack politics, but fans will find this a solid entry in Armstrong's popular series. (Oct.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Kelley Armstrong does it again..., September 29, 2009
By 
J. Evans (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Frostbitten (Women of the Otherworld, Book 10) (Hardcover)
As a huge fan of the Women of the Otherworld series and even more so a fan of the main character(in this book) Elena, i was very happy after finishing it. In the series the author switches every few books to a new charcter, but they are all associated. My favorite though is when the werewovles are the main storyline. There are also witches, sorcerers, necromancers, vamipres and a few others. The story always progresses with every character even if they are seldom mentioned, you do find them growing and changing.
In this book Elena who is a part time mother of two, wife, and pack spokesperson is given a huge proposition and it troubles her deeply whether she should accept it or not. She has a very dominant husband, the strongest in the pack, and all of the US for that matter. So who should take the biggest job of being pack leader between them? And whomever does ascend, will it effect their relationship?
It wouldn't be an adventure for the werewolves if someone wasn't in grave danger, taking huge risks, and making hasty choices that have you biting all your nails off. If you are a fan of the series you simply cannot pass this book up. Also if you are a fan of authors like richelle mead, jeaniene frost, patricia briggs, charlaine harris, or stephenie meyer then you have to give this series a shot. You will love it, and thankfully you don't have to wait each year for a book to come out. You already get 10 all at once!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best of the series!, September 29, 2009
This review is from: Frostbitten (Women of the Otherworld, Book 10) (Hardcover)
Wow! Frostbitten, the 10th novel in the Women of the Otherworld series gets my vote for best novel of the series so far! Frostbitten is told from Elena's point of view, taking us back to our original (and my personal favorite) narrator. The story is set predominantly in Alaska, and features Elena and Clay almost exclusively. We do get to touch base with some of our other much-loved Werewolves, and we also get to meet some fantastic new characters that I hope we'll be seeing more of in future stories.

Right from the first page, Frostbitten is filled with action, intrigue and excitement, and of course... a little bit of romance. (What else would you expect from a book featuring Elena and Clay?) I don't want to give any of the juicy plot away so I'll stop there, but I'm quite sure that fans of the Women of the Otherworld series will love Frostbitten, while fans of supernatural fiction in general, could enjoy it as a great standalone novel as well. Don't miss Frostbitten!

4.0 out of 5 stars More of an overly long short story, but still good, October 11, 2009
This review is from: Frostbitten (Women of the Otherworld, Book 10) (Hardcover)
I have to admit that I was less than enthused over the last WOTU book. It was "ok", but that was about it & I sort of wondered if the next book would be an improvement. `Living With the Dead' was interesting, but just felt pale in comparison to the earlier stronger works in the series. Thankfully, `Frostbitten' was a much more enjoyable read.

`Frostbitten' shows a return of Elena as narrator, which is always a good thing- mostly because Elena is easily the most compelling of Armstrong's characters as well as the best constructed. In this book Elena is sent to Alaska after a young rogue mutt- not to kill him, but to warn him that he is in danger of being murdered & framed by two dangerous human killing weres. While she's there, she has to deal with threats both old & new, as her past torments threaten to overwhelm her. And Elena has never had so much to lose.

I really did enjoy this book because like I said, Elena's the main character. She's Armstrong's ace in the hole- it's hard to read an Elena story & NOT like it in one way or another. I liked how this book had Elena dealing with the ghosts & demons of her past, plus I liked the new revelations brought up in the book. I also enjoyed the introduction of several new characters, two of which could later become "fodder" for future books. (One is an absolute definite- you'll know who it is when you read the book.)

Now for the "bad". The book is great, but at times it just really felt like it was more of a novella than a novel- a short story stretched out to book length. The book doesn't overly suffer from this, but at times it just felt like it needed to be a bit meatier. The thing that keeps me from seeing this as a huge fault is that for the life of me, I couldn't really put a finger on what exactly could've been fleshed out more. There's a lot of new info & material put into this book, so it's not like there were huge gaps in the storyline or not. Maybe it's because a good portion was filled with Elena & Clay romping through the snow or Elena in peril. Although those scenes were good, there was quite a few of them. Then again, those scenes were necessary for Elena to grow a bit as a character.

The bottom line is that fans of the series will adore this book & those who had been disappointed by the last book will be overjoyed to see the series returning to some of its old form. Like I said, it's hard not to like anything that has Elena & Clay in it.
