I have to admit, I have a fondness for Kelley Armstrong's novels, and while I have been reviewing them well, sometimes I wonder if it is merely because I like the author or was the book really as good as I first thought? What I will tell you is that Armstrong definitely is back to the basics in "Frostbitten", the latest in the Otherworld series. That "something" that I found and enjoyed in the first few novels, is there woven artfully throughout the story. And while I can't really put what I mean into words, I will say that it was almost like listening to an old friend who you haven't spoken to in awhile and realizing that you missed their voice. Meaning, I now realize that some of the Otherworld novels that I thought I enjoyed, in retrospect I probably didn't (for example, the young adult Chloe Saunders series), but I really have an appreciation for this author and her works. BUT never fear, I thought that this one was really GREAT, and the old Armstrong is back. With that being said, here is the review....
The last time we saw Elena (the only female werewolf), she had just given birth to twins (who are possible werewolves, which is a rarity in the werewolf world), and was settling into married and pack life with her beloved mate, Clay (the slightly grouchy yet sexy pack enforcer/anthropology professor). A few years have passed and Elena is continuing her investigation into incidents that could affect her pack. Sent by Jeremy and using her investigative reporter skills, Elena sets out to discover the truth and see if there are rogue werewolves involved in several unexplained disappearances of women and bloody animal attacks in the wilderness of Alaska. Faced with things from her past (emotional scares of her childhood she'd rather forget), she learns that the only way to conquer her fears is to face them head on. Meanwhile, Clay is dealing with his own insecurities and questions his ability to protect his pack (having been injured in the previous novel). He finds himself questioning if the "mutts" need another reminder of just what a monster he can be. As the two face new challenges, they learn to trust each other completely in order to survive.
There is everything that makes this a wonderful paranormal read. There are werewolves (good and bad), snow beasts (for lack of a better word), and battles. New characters are introduced (that I hope become pack members) and new storylines forged. I also enjoyed the resolution of some of the issues between Elena and Clay. And as always, I enjoyed seeing or hearing about Jeremy, Hope, Karl, Nick and of the rest of the characters from the Otherworld books. I can't wait to read the next one.

Frostbitten Overview
For Elena Michaels, being the world’s only female werewolf has its advantages, such as having her pick of the Otherworld’s most desirable males. And she couldn’t have picked a more dangerously sexy and undyingly loyal mate than Clayton Danvers. But now their bond will be put to the ultimate test. A werewolf more wolf than human and more unnatural than supernatural—a creature whose origins spring from ancient legend—is hunting human prey, and Elena and Clayton must track the predator deep into Alaska’s frozen wilderness.
But the personal stakes are even higher. Either Clayton or Elena has been chosen to become the new Pack leader, and every wolf knows that there can be only one Alpha. The couple have 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?
