They're modern fantasy (set, like Anita Blake, in 20th century America) and
they follow the world's first female werewolf. Bitten is all about her, with
a murder mystery type plot thrown in. Stolen is about her and some other
supernatural types. She's a fairly kick-ass type of heroine but not as
superpowered as any of Hamilton's heroes. I find her more realistic and she
is in general more likeable I think. Third one is due out next month and
seems to focus a bit more on the witches we encounter in Stolen than the
werewolves per se, although I imagine Elena (the heroine) will still play a
big part since the other two have been written entirely from her
perspective. The author is Armstrong, I think her christian name is Kelley,
it begins with a K at any rate.

I read *fast* as you may have gathered and they only took me a couple of
days to get through. I found them as unputdownable as the Blake novels but
over all better written. I love the Anita Blake books but they're not the
best written books I've ever read. Hamilton can be a little repetitive for
me. However, whether or not you agree on that point I would recommend them
to any LHL fans because of the similar settings and the similar level of
action. They're fast paced too, never boring.

They were recommended to me by the book store clerk ... which may just be my
dream job (if I thought that I wouldn't end up owing them at the end of each
month rather than the other way around<g>)
