bookfessional 's review for:
Frostbitten
by Kelley Armstrong
Clayton and Elena, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways:
1. You are ridiculously fun. Whether you're tossing each other around in the snow while in wolf form, or contemplating how difficult it would be to maneuver in the back of your SUV, you fill me with D-E-L-I-G-H-T.
2. You are the perfect example of partnership. I know you got off to a bit of a rough start (with the biting and the changing), but you weathered that storm spectacularly (even if it did take 10(ish) years to do it), and you are a shining example to the rest of us mere mortals. Neither of you can refrain from confiding in each other when you are troubled, and you know and understand each other so well, that you always say exactly the right thing.
3. You are also everything (IM humble O) that werewolves should be. You are stronger, faster, and more fierce than humans, and you are fiercely loyal to your pack. You are canny, especially you, Elena, who has absolutely no problem using mutts assumptions about a female's place in the pack against them to get the upper hand. And there's none of that leaping through the air as a human, and landing as a wolf nonsense, nor are you 3x the equivalent of your human size.
And that'll do for now.
Frostbitten is the tenth book in the Women of the Otherworld series, and it begins with Elena trying to chase down a young mutt who she fears is about to be murdered as a scapegoat for other mutts' crimes. She and Clay round him up in Alaska and send him to the pack, but they stay to investigate a few alleged wolf-killings. The plot is gritty and gruesome as these books often are, but at least this time no small children are threatened and/or killed. Small mercy that b/c what does happen forces Elena to face down some of her darkest demons.
Unlike a lot of the Women of the Otherworld books (that include a wide variety of characters), Frostbitten is almost solely focused on Clay and Elena. Jeremy checks in a few times when they call to talk to Kate and Logan (who are adorable), and the rest of the pack shows up for the very end, but other than that, it's just the two of them facing down various enemies. But as their POV is my favorite of this series, that did not bother me in the slightest. It also allowed for further insight into the new-and-improved Clay and Elena (in which Elena is no longer trying to hold Clay at arms-length).
Overall, this is one of my favorite installments, and even though I already used this gif in a status update, I'm using it here too, b/c Clay and Elena make me feel all warm and fuzzy (and so does this gif).
