Genre: Fantasy/Paranormal

Author: "Kelley Armstrong has been telling stories since before she could write. Her earliest written efforts were disastrous. If asked for a story about girls and dolls, hers would invariably feature undead girls and evil dolls, much to her teachers' dismay. All efforts to make her produce "normal" stories failed.

"Today, she continues to spin tales of ghosts and demons and werewolves, while safely locked away in her basement writing dungeon. She's the author of the NYT-bestselling "Women of the Otherworld" paranormal suspense series and "Darkest Powers" young adult urban fantasy trilogy, as well as the Nadia Stafford crime series. Armstrong lives in southwestern Ontario with her husband, kids and far too many pets." (Came from here.) 


Synopsis: This is actually the tenth book in the Women of the Otherworld Series. I have never read any of them but there was enough back story that I wasn't lost at all. Elena and her husband are both werewolves and sent to Alaska to investigate several mysterious deaths that look like wolf attacks. Since wolves don't normally attack humans, the werewolves are concerned and send their best two pack mates in to investigate. Elena and Clay encounter some unexpected mysteries along the way -- including some paranormal creatures the werewolves thought were just a myth in the Alaska Wilderness.

Review: I couldn't finish this book. I tried but there was too much sex and the F-bomb was dropped a lot. There were 299 pages and I got to 100. I can't convince myself to go any farther. The story was interesting and I wanted to find out what happened but I had trouble forcing myself to read through so much bad language and sex scenes. I am really disappointed about this though b/c I love love love Kelly Armstrong's YA adult series, Darkest Powers. I was hoping this would be just as awesome. Unfortunately, I couldn't get past all the inappropriate content. Sorry....
