Book Reviews of Broken (Women of the Otherworld, Book 6)
Book Review: Another great Women of the Otherworld book...
Summary: 4 Stars
I have read all of the Women of the Otherworld books and had enjoyed them all. I loved the first two books about Elena Michaels, the only living female werewolf on the planet, and was thrilled to know that she is back in Broken. Elena Michaels has settled into a stable life after her awful experience as a prisoner at an experimental compound (Stolen). But things get confusing for her after she discovers she's pregnant. She has more than just the average pregnancy angst; she is downright terrified that her change to werewolf form might harm the baby. And there is also the question over whether or not the baby will be a werewolf or not. As if there weren't enough problems, she receives an impromptu phone call from demon Xavier with a very strange request. He wants her to steal a letter that was supposedly written by Jack the Ripper. The assignment seems simple enough, except that the letter has a portal to Victorian London that unleashes zombies, former human beings that had been used as a ritual sacrifice. Now all of those creepy crawlies are on the loose in Toronto and Elena, Clay and Jeremy have to do whatever is possible to catch them and close the portal for good. They especially have to do this because the zombies are for some reason after Elena. There are various twists throughout the novel.
I am not as into paranormal/fantasy novels as I used to be, but there are certain authors of the aforementioned genre that will forever be on my must-read list, and Kelley Armstrong is one of them. This is another enthralling installment of the Women of the Otherworld series and I was entertained from beginning to end. This novel contains the paranormal and horror aspects combined with action, humor and romance that I've come to expect from this wonderful series. Elena is as tough as ever, Clay is antisocial as usual and Jeremy is enjoyable as the taciturn, sensible alpha werewolf. The novel also brings back our favorite characters from previous books, like Paige, Lucas, Xavier and Jaime Vargas. There are some new characters here as well. I get a real kick out of the characters, especially Jaime and Xavier. And I of course LOVE the witty dialogue. The dialogue has always been one of the biggest highlights in these novels and the bantering here is as fun as it was in the previous novels. As for the plot, the whole Jack the Ripper letter and portal thing was quite interesting. I admit, however, that this isn't my favorite storyline in this series. There have been so many fictional accounts on Jack the Ripper that I wish Armstrong had come up with something different. I very much enjoyed the subplot centered on a pregnant Elena though. It was an excellent source of conflict for her, for she doesn't know what to expect once she gives birth, being the only female werewolf alive and all. It gave her a sensitivity that she hadn't shown in previous books. She has always been tough and tomboyish, but I have a feeling that motherhood will change that. I also have a feeling this will be the last we'll read of her as a main character in the series and I'm disappointed with that. I do hope that we'll read a novel about Cassandra the vampire or Jaime the necromancer. I especially want one about Cassandra. She is such an interesting character and I want to read more about her and Aaron. The vampires in this series sound quite unique. Anyway, Broken is another awesome offering in this enthralling series. Kelley Armstrong is still one of the best fantasy authors I have read. She remains on my must-read list and I look forward to reading her next book in the series.
