“Good slick fun; expect the television series soon.”

—Guardian

Stolen

“[A] fast paced story.”

—Orlando Sentinel

“Demonstrates a sharpening of Armstrong’s narrative skills.”

—Rocky Mountain News

“A sure-footed follow-up to Bitten.”

—Publishers Weekly

“Richly done.”

—Kirkus Reviews

“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 best selling author of Indelible

“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.”

—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.”

—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

“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.”
