I’m not opposed to a few steamy sex scenes, but I need plot and character to be driving the book, not just jumping from sex scene to sex scene. And though there definitely is a difference between romance and adult fantasy fiction, I’ve found that the “fantasy” aspect is really the only major difference in most of my experience. I have absolutely nothing against the romance genre, there’s a reason it’s the most lucrative genre in publishing, but those types of books aren’t really for me. Typically, I have struggled with adult fiction for a few reasons: too much unnecessary sex, not enough plot, poorly developed characters, and lack of quality writing. “Women of the Otherworld” is definitely one of my top three favorite series EVER in the adult fiction genre. This series has 13 books in it (yup), so I’m not sure I’ll review them all, and many of them I’ll probably try to review in pairs (as these are the first two books in the series and share the same protagonist. I’m going to try and keep these reviews for books I’m re-reading pretty short. Against her will, Elena is drawn into the mystery of where these supernaturals have been disappearing to – and who’s been stealing them. And lately, members of each race have been disappearing. Just as she’s started to fall into her old routines of keeping the Pack safe from exposure, she stumbles upon a new secret she never suspected: werewolves aren’t the only thing out there that goes “bump” in the night.Įlena and her Pack are just one “race” of supernatural being out there: witches, sorcerers, half-demons, vampires, they all exist for better or worse.
She’s finally accepted it and found her place at Stonehaven, the home of the Pack, with her alpha and her partner, Clay. *This sequel description contains SPOILERS*Įlena Michaels is a werewolf. And as always she finds herself again entangled with Clayton, the man who’s heart she’s broken a hundred times but who can’t seem to let her go, despite the fact that they have a past which she can never forgive.īut Elena is never one to back down from a fight, and when the Pack is threatened, she’s left to defend it with everything she has. Soon Elena is once again wrapped up in the life she’s tried so hard to forget, the world of tracking down rogue werewolves and helping to ensure that the secret of her Pack stays that way. Except for when her former Pack’s alpha calls her for help in a way she can’t refuse. It’s not a big deal, she’s put that part of her life behind her, it’s really only a minor inconvenience.
Well, most of that exercise happens on four legs, rather than two, and that is exactly what makes Elena NOT normal: once every week or so, she has to sneak out of her apartment in the middle of the night to transform into a werewolf. She has a career she enjoys, a boyfriend that dotes on her, and gets plenty of exercise.
