... cue chases, fights, sex - all the stuff we've happily come to expect from one of Armstrong's enjoyable urban fantasies. And enjoyable ''Frostbitten'' is. There are some horribly mean villains in the form of Eastern European mutts (non-pack) werewolves, some brand new supernaturals in the form of shape-shifting backwoodsmen and some wayward pups to rescue and reform. Behind the action - which is pacy and satisfying as ever - Elena and Clay's relationship is tested and emerges as strong as ever, and the dwindling pack finds some potential new blood for its future.
Armstrong always gives great value for money and it's no wonder that fans of urban fantasy absolutely lap up her books. She's got an easy and comfortable style and writes a great fight scene. Still better, her sex is always credible and never embarrasssing embarrassing - quite a feat when you've wolves and demons and ghosts to write into the panting and gasping! Recommended for fans - but newbies should probably start at the beginning with ''Bitten''.
My thanks to the nice people at Orbit for a) sending the book and b) giving it a nicer cover than the US edition!
Adult readers might like to extend their ''Otherworld'' reading by getting acquainted with Armstrong's related young adult [[The Summoning (Darkest Powers 1) by Kelley Armstrong|sequence]]. Those who are more interested in the wolf aspect of ''Frostbitten'' than its urban fantasy shouldn't miss [[The Wolf by Joseph Smith]].
