I just finished this book and loved it. I cant wait to read the rest of the series. I must read for all fans of the paranormal

Judi (junbug) | 8 comments I thought this was really good. A lot better than I thought a werewolf book would be.


message 3: by Carolyn (new)

Carolyn (seeford) I'm confused. (I've read this book.) What makes it a 'horror' book - because it has werewolves?
This book is so not horror. If anything, it's paranormal/urban FANTASY. There is absolutely nothing scary in this book...I really enjoyed it and it's sequels, but is misclassified as 'horror'.

I didnt think it was horror either. When the book was published I dont think Urban Fantasy was a big genere so they lumped all these types of books in the horror section.

Obviously by someone who had never read them... = )

That is a possibility.

Urban Fantasy/Paranormal is a new term for me, but I remember in my teens reading novels that I could not understand why they were listed as Occult/Horror (Vampire DiariesThe Awakening for example).

I loved the entire series, though I never finished book 9 or 10 but I am excited to read 11, I also like how the series is written in such away that each book can be a stand-alone type novel, which does not always happen in a series. Armstrong is careful to add enough information that the reader is not left wondering "Who is this person and why should I care?"

I've RR'd Bitten several times since I first read it last year.
