The second novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling Otherworld series.Elena Michaels is back—and she has company. When a young witch tells Elena that a group of humans are kidnapping supernaturals, Elena ignores the warning. After all, everyone knows there’s no such thing as witches. As for the thought of other ‘supernaturals’, well, she’d just rather not dwell on the possibility. Soon, … possibility. Soon, however, she’s confronted with the truth about her world, when she’s kidnapped and thrown into a cell-block with witches, sorcerers, half-demons and other werewolves. As Elena soon discovers, dealing with her fellow captives is the least of her worries. In this prison, the real monsters carry the keys.
Lending a mission of vampires, demons, shamans, and witches, Elena is lured into the net of ruthless Internet billionaire Tyrone Winsloe, who is well on his way to amassing a private collection of supernaturals. He plans to harness their powers for himself—even if it means killing them.
For Elena, kidnapped and imprisoned deep underground, unable to tell her friends from her enemies, choosing the right allies is a matter of life and death.

The Otherworld series with Elena and Clay is one of my all-time favorites! If you haven’t tried these books yet, STOLEN is now a steal (heh!) at only $1.99 in ebook. Grab yours for some guaranteed great reading.
It must have been good as I plowed through all of the books in this series. Were some better than the others? Well, maybe. Every reader brings something different to the table that causes them to like one book better than another. But, overall they were all enjoyable and worth the read!
I just adore this series, every couple of years i re read them all and fall in love with the books all over again. Highly recommend reading anything by Kelly Armstrong she is one of my favorite authors of all time.
love this series !!!
Reading the description of the book I thought that the story sounded intriguing, but I was also worried that it might be dragged out an slow at some points, considering we learned before even reading the book that Elena would be captured and held prisoner. Those scenes usually drags on and little can happen since a prisoner is, well, in prisoned. Not much to do and therefore very little excitement. I am very happy I was wrong though.
I don’t know how but Kelley Armstrong somehow knows how to keep the readers interest through the entire story without losing it once. The scene that I thought was going to be boring and dragged out turned out to be eventful, exciting and kept me fully on my toes. Only an expert like Armstrong can make prison seem awesome, and that is really saying something. I mean, being contained in a cell with only some old books and your own mind, that can’t be easy to turn into something enjoyable to read about and the author takes full advantage of that. She takes that scene to introduce new characters, give them life, personality and a purpose and agenda. She made it all fit together like puzzle pieces to the story and everything fit together perfectly. I don’t know, maybe I’ve read to many bad books lately, but I was really impressed and amazed by this story. I even loved it more than the first book. That’s expert work.
The one and only thing that I might have missed in this story that I was really hoping to see more of after finishing Bitten was more romance. There is of course moments with Clay and Elena and I absolutely loved that. However, being a big romance geek I wish there were more than it was. I understand though, that romance, although a big element, is not the only thing this series is about. I can see that the main focus is to show how strong, powerful and independent women can be. It is after all called women of the underworld and I really like the theme. It’s just a personal wish from me that there would be more romance too.
I usually am not big on series with different main character for almost every book, but Stolen actually got me really interested to read the next book about Paige. Already introducing Paige and other characters I’m hopeful to read about in the future, is a great way to make the reader keep reading. I really want to know what’s in store for Paige now and the Paige and Adam scenes in Stolen (although nothing romantic) made me hope for some romance between them. Please don’t disappoint me Dime Store Magic!
Not as amazingly wonderful as Bitten but also a very entertaining novel.
Love all these books by this author, trying to collect them.
