Kelley Armstrong, Broken
Bantam (2006) ISBN: 0-553-58818-4
Score: -1

Third Otherworld novel narrated by Elena (sixth overall), in which she's pregnant and tries to steal Jack the Ripper's "From Hell" letter. I don't think I'll be reading any more of this series.

Next Book: Brian Selznick, The Invention of Hugo Cabret

Kelley Armstrong, Haunted
Bantam (2005) ISBN: 0-553-58708-0
Score: 0

Another novel in the Otherworld series, this one narrated by the ghost of a half-demon evil witch, who turns out to be just as whiny as the living good witches.

Next Book: Alan Campbell, Scar Night

Kelley Armstrong, Dime Store Magic
Bantam (2004) ISBN: 0-553-58706-4
Score: -1

Third Otherworld book and first one narrated by Paige, in which she fights for custody of Savannah (both are witches introduced in Stolen). The plot is typical for the series, but I didn't like any of the characters. Depending on what I think of Haunted, I may end up just reading the werewolf stories in this series.

Next Book: Charles Stross, The Clan Corporate

Kelley Armstrong, "Beginnings"
online novella (2004)
Score: 2

And another prequel novella, in which Clay and Elena tell how they met and how she became a werewolf. This spoils a major subplot of Bitten.

Next Book: Steven Brust, Dzur

Kelley Armstrong, "Ascension"
online novella (2003)
Score: 1.5

Another prequel narrated by Clay, in which we see how Jeremy became the Pack's Alpha.

Kelley Armstrong, "Savage"
online novella (2003)
Score: 2

Prequel to the Otherworld series, in which Clayton discusses his early childhood. No real surprises if you've already read Bitten, and contains a spoiler if you haven't.

Next Book: Scott Lynch, The Lies of Locke Lamora

Kelley Armstrong, Stolen
Viking (2002) ISBN: 0-670-03137-2
Score: 2.5

Second Otherworld book, also narrated by Elena. Some people with too much money and too few morals start collecting supernaturals, and as a result the werewolves meet some of the other weird things running around (witches, vampires, shamans, half-demons, sorcerers, etc).

Next Book: Naomi Novik, Black Powder War

Kelley Armstrong, Bitten
Viking (2001) ISBN: 0-670-89471-0
Score: 2

Start of the Otherworld urban fantasy series and introduces Elena, the world's only female werewolf. Unsurprisingly, her love life is having problems and it doesn't help when some rogue werewolves stir up trouble.

Next Book: Jacqueline Carey, Kushiel's Scion
