Once again, Kelley Armstrong has returned to Elena for another great story. I say great due to the fact of Elena's pregnancy and how she deals with it, not the crazy story and plot. I found the Jack the Ripper and the From Hell letter a little too bizarre to really enjoy. However, I did appreciate Elena's continuing struggle on being the only female werewolf.

Besides being the only female werewolf, Elena now has to contend with being the only female and pregnant werewolf. Ms. Armstrong describes Elena's fears and insecurities with great effect. Elena hasn't a difficult time reconciling her dual natures, wolf and human. She constantly fears that her wolf will hurt her unborn child. At times, she refuses to Change based on that fear. Due to Ms. Armstrong's intense storytelling, I found that I could truly empathize with Elena's struggles.

Because she is the first pregnant female werewolf, the male werewolves in her pack are extremely protective. Clayton and Jeremy are constantly watching her every move. At times, she feels very claustrophobic with all the added attention. You think human men are protective of their pregnant wives/girlfriends, try being married to a werewolf.

Another aspect of the book I really enjoyed were how Elena and Clayton's feelings toward parenthood conflicted with each other. Elena is very uptight on whether she will make a good mother while Clayton seems to be more comfortable with the parenting concept. I think that comes from Clayton being more wolf than human in his instincts and values while Elena still tries to embrace her full humanity.

An additional tidbit I really liked from this book is Jaime Vegas' crush on Jeremy. It is a great lead-in to the next book, No Humans Involved.

As you probably can tell, I didn't talk about the overall plot. Mainly, because I thought the most important of the book was Elena's journey through her pregnancy and her acceptance of who she is. The ending was very touching with Paige making a small appearance. Kelley Armstrong can weave a great, emotional story.

Rating: 3 ½ out of 5 Stars (due to the funky plot)

In this, the 6th book of the series, we go back to Clay, Elena and Jeremy! These, by far, are my favorite characters of the series.

Elena may have unwittingly unleashed Jack the Ripper on twenty-first-century--and become his next target. On a tip from Xavier (character from "Stolen" book 2 of the series), Clay and Antonio go after a mutt killing women. In return for this tip, Clay, Elena and Jeremy must steal the elusive "From Hell" Letter from a supernatural collector. They agree to the terms and after stealing the letter, they unwittingly unlock a portal with a drop of Elena's blood, presumably unleashing Jack the Ripper into the 20th century!

With Elena pregnant, Jeremy and Clay try to keep her as uninvolved with the mission as possible. But we all know Elena...that doesn't sit well!
the other 10% not really. of all the Clay/Elena books, this one is the most "out there"... at times it reads as an excuse to introduce more characters to the otherworld rather than a story... thinking of someone like bill gates as the crazy dude here is kind of a funny idea, but it is a struggle to "keep it real" and "believe" at times. didn't quite make to 5 stars in my list, but still entertaining...
In the sixth book of The Women of the Otherworld series, "Broken," Elena Michaels is back and expecting a little one. Pregnancy has her a bit nervous, which is why she goes a bit nutty when a letter, supposedly written by Jack the Ripper, opens a portal from the past releasing a killer.

I always liked this character, she's tough and not afraid to take a risk. Definitely not a shrinking violet. Clay always amazes me too with his tenderness, despite his vicious nature. Plus our favorite necromancer, Jaime Vegas, is back in this one. I hope in the future she gets her own book. I would love to see what kind of trouble she and Jeremy could get up to. Another must-buy from Kelley Armstrong.
Upgrade to 3.5. I listened to this on CD. Good story. Elena is pregnant and to her mates distress takes on the job of retrieving a stolen letter which was supposedly written by Jack the Ripper. Zombie's emerge from a time warp to complicate matters.
This review is of the book itself since none of the reviews I read seemed to describe the actual *book*. I ordered the Mass Market Paperback and the cover is indeed the red flower with the black background like I'd hoped. Wasn't sure which one I would get since the sizing picture had the old cover, but overall happy. The book didn't really come packaged at all with bubble wrap or anything so it was dented a few places in shipping, but it can't come perfect I guess. I'm excited to read it.
It's been a while since I've read the Otherworld series, and I'm finding myself a bit at odds.

I love (love, LOVE) the characters and their relationships/interactions. About 50% of the time I also love the plot. The other 50% of the time . . . not so much. Saying that I find (some of) them to be over-told or tired seems too strong, but it's also kind of the truth. I called Stolen the best retelling of The Most Dangerous Game that I'd come across. And that's true. But did I like The Most Dangerous Game the first time I read it? No. And now with Broken. Do I like variations on Jack the Ripper? NOPE. He was a gruesome serial killer who murdered prostitutes and cut up their faces. What's to like?

And why do children always seem to be the targets? People die in books. I have no problem with that. I don't like it, but I accept it. But that doesn't mean you need to target kids. It just doesn't.

So even though I love Clay and Elena, and even though I think it's hilarious to see Jamie so flustered by Jeremy, did I really enjoy Broken? Sadly, no.
