Praise for Kelly Armstrong
BITTEN
"[T]his debut novel from a Canadian writer proves that solid storytelling and
confident craftsmanship can rejuvenate one of the hoariest of all horror clichés…
Armstrong's true achievement is her depiction of werewolf nature in believably
human context… The sensuality of Elena's transformations and the viciousness of
her kills mesh perfectly with her tough personality…
Filled with romance and supernatural intrigue, this book will surely remind readers
of Anne Rice's sophisticated refurbishings of the vampire story."
Publishers Weekly
"It's terrific. The heroine is the most appealing I have come across in ages. It's
clever, quirky, hip and funny, skating between genres with style and grace. More,
please!"
—Joanne Harris, author of Chocolat
"With a howl, Kelley Armstrong's Bitten plunges headlong into a murderous plot
rife with violence, lust and intrigue… Armstrong has created a breathless, sexy
story… gorgeous and grotesque in the best sense of the word. Rumors of a sequel
have never been better news."
Boulder Weekly
"Kelley Armstrong's debut novel, Bitten, combines hints of the strong decadent
sexuality and cool-outsider mystique of Interview with the Vampire with the creepy
hominess of Stephen King… Realistic details… complement a convincing portrait of
werewolf society and its intricate codes of behavior… Bitten will satisfy genre fans
and those who like their thrills served up with literary savvy."
Quill & Quire
"It's as smooth as cream all the way, sure to gain fans."
Kirkus Reviews
"There's nothing overtly gothic about this fast-paced, sexy thriller and its model
contemporary heroine—it's just that she's a werewolf who is trying to make a go of
things among humans. When her pack is threatened by a new group of violent
psychotic werewolves she is drawn back into the old ways."
Bookseller
"Brings a new brand of ferocity to horror literature… Bitten is a lightning-paced,
violent and completely readable entertainment that entertains loudly and abundantly."
The Hamilton Spectator
"Wicked writing gets noticed, and first-time novelist Kelley Armstrong has written
a deliciously wicked book… This is no ordinary werewolf tale, but a werewolf
mystery with a huge dollop of romance thrown in."
Toronto Star
"The plot of Bitten has echoes of the best crime thrillers… the story is fast and
entertaining. But what makes the novel so gripping is Armstrong's talent for vivid
description and her interest in both the sensuality and psychology of werewolfhood,
a fascination that greatly enhances the world she creates while never slowing down
the break-neck plot. At every turn, her depiction of physical sensation is precise and
compelling.... Surely one of the sexiest, most energetic novels published in a long
time… [A] Canadian mother of three who hails from rural southwestern Ontario has
created a smart, original thriller, destined to keep people reading on into the night."
The Gazette
"Armstrong has a definite talent for sensual descriptions. The wolf creatures are
vividly created in gestures and behaviour, and most of the sexual encounters would
knock one's socks off (not to mention other things)."
National Post
"Bitten is hip and postmodern___Those who enjoy the vampire books of Anne
Rice, or Canadian vampire writer Nancy Kilpatrick, will love it."
Globe and Mail
"A very contemporary, funky supernatural thriller with a particularly provocative
heroine."
Hello
"A hair-raising story for the she-wolf in us all."
—Shannon Olson, author of Welcome to my Planet
"Entertaining new take on an old thriller story form. Makes Buffy look fluffy."
Daily Express
"A tasty confection of werewolves, sex and vendettas—After the first nibble it's
quite hard to stop… Elena and her acid repartee successfully steal the show
throughout, she has bags of charm. Gory, sexy fun."
SFX
"Good slick fun; expect the television series soon."
Guardian
Praise for Kelley Armstrong's
STOLEN
"Elena Michaels, the only known female werewolf, cavorts on a more fully
cultivated supernatural playing field in this sure-footed sequel to Bitten
[Stolen is] a prison-break story spiffed up with magic.... Armstrong leavens the
narrative with brisk action and intriguing dollops of werewolf culture that suggest a
complex and richly imagined anthropologic back story. The sassy, pumped-up Elena
makes a perfect hardboiled horror heroine.... This novel will please not only horror
fans but also mainstream readers who like strong female characters."
Publishers Weekly
"In Stolen, Kelley Armstrong delivers a taut, sensual thriller that grips from the
first page.
Elena Michaels is at once sublime and sympathetic, a modern heroine who shows
that real women bite back."
—Karin Slaughter, New York Times bestselling author of Blindsighted and
Kisscut
"Like Bitten, Stolen paints a perfectly convincing portrait of a woman who quite
literally runs with the wolves… Armstrong has created a persuasive, finely detailed
otherworldly cosmology—featuring sorcery, astral projection, spells, telepathy and
teleportation—that meshes perfectly with the more humdrum world of interstate
highways and cable news bulletins… More than just a thriller with extra teeth, Stolen
is for anyone who has ever longed to leap over an SUV in a single bound, or to rip
an evil security force to shreds, or even just to growl convincingly."
Quill & Quire
"The narrative veers between clever, scholarly distinctions among different sorts
of magical powers, and a lot of action movie-style sex and violence… What's
interesting are the twists and turns along the way, boosted by bits of philosophy and
arcane knowledge Armstrong adds to her strange brew… We meet enough truly
entertaining creatures along the way to make us wish that this will not be the last
romp for Elena and her pack."
The Toronto Star
"Armstrong is a clever writer… [and Stolen] grabs you at the outset."
Winnipeg Free Press
"Stolen is a delicious cocktail of testosterone and wicked humour… Too earnest
to attempt parody, [Armstrong's] take on the well-travelled world of supernatural
beings is witty and original. She's at her best when examining the all-too-human
dilemmas of being superhuman… [Stolen] bubbles with the kind of dramatic
invention that bodes well for a long and engrossing series…
This can only be good news for the growing Michaels fan club."
The Globe and Mail
"Mesmerizing… the 'other-worldly' atmosphere conjured up by Armstrong begins
to seem strangely real. Armstrong is a talented and original writer whose
inventiveness and sense of the bizarre is arresting."
London Free Press
