Publisher's summary

It was in Bitten, Kelley Armstrong's debut novel, that 30-year-old Elena Michaels came to terms with her feral appetites and claimed the proud identity of a beautiful, successful woman - and the only living female werewolf.

In Stolen, on a mission for her own elite pack, she is lured into the net of ruthless Internet billionaire Tyrone Winsloe, who has funded a bogus scientific investigation of the "other races" and their supernatural powers. Kidnapped and studied in his underground lab deep in the Maine woods, these paranormals - witches, vampires, shamans, werewolves - are then released and hunted to the death in a real-world video game. But when Winsloe captures Elena, he finally meets his match.

Terrible, Terrible, Terrible Narrator.

I'm tempted to ask for a refund from audible the narrator is so bad. Aasne Vigesaa , the first book reader, was wonderful. She sounded the right age, young and edgy but sexy. What is up with picking a 50-60 year old sounding depressed, bitter edged harpy voice?? Terrible, manly and threw the whole thing off. How and why pick this person after you had someone Wonderful for the first book? So dissapointed, the interpretation and voice is what brings the book to life in an audiobook, what makes the characters believable.

If I were rating ONLY the narrator, it would have been the lowest star rating, half star or maybe none. BUT, I think the book may have been better with a better reader. I could only hope the author never chooses this reader again, and tries to pick someone who at least sounds like they belong in the same decade age span as her character.

First book was better

The story has some twists and turns but ultimately I want to throw things at the "heroine" because she is time and time again so gullible. There is a chance to have a forward thinking female here and she's just not quite there.

Outstanding!

The book started a little odd for what I was expecting but quickly took off. The story is intense and kept me guessing as to what might happen next. Also, the story is very well put together and covers many new characters that I can't wait to see what is in store for them. I can't believe this was as good, if not better than Bitten. Definitely worth reading.

Worth the listen!

I watch Bitten on t.v. and only just realized it is based on a series of books. The show follows book one pretty closely but not so much on book too which made the book more enjoyable for me than book one because I didn't know what was going to happen. The only thing I didn't like was the voice of the narrator, her voice isn't suitable to the character at all. She did do well with Clayton's accent better than the gal reading book one. Other than that the book was good, I love the characters and I'm looking forward to downloading book three!

not the best narrator

Love the book but I wish the narrator had been the one for the previous book. This one, I could hardly stand.

Couldn't finish

I really enjoyed the first book in this series. The narrator was okay, not amazing but okay. I can't stand this narrator's voice. Her voice really doesn't suit the material. I started listening to it, but I just couldn't finish. it's really unfortunate.

Change in Narration is Responsible for Decline

I loved the first book (narrator and storyline) and became so involved with the characters. Then it took forever for me to finish this second book because I just couldn't picture a straight female werewolf character in the narrators voice. I especially cringed during the sex scenes. I also became somewhat confused during some of the scenes as to who was talking because I couldn't remember it was a woman talking. I'm sorry this narrator just doesn't do it for me. I will not continue the series if it's the same narrator as this one. I am so busy and travel a lot so I don't even have time to sit and read subsequent books in the series to myself. Audible is my only option for indulgence in urban fantasy.

awful narrator

Would you try another book from Kelley Armstrong and/or Nell Canning?

Kelly, yes. Nell, hell no.

Would you be willing to try another one of Nell Canning’s performances?

Never

Any additional comments?

I am struggling to enjoy this book with such a horrible narrator.

Narrator SUCKS!!!

I am so disappointed with this book mainly the narrator. After the first book I was stoked to listen to the next. This lady is too old and totally screws the characters up. I can't even make it through the first hour. I am ordering the book to read, I think we should get a refund!! Oh, I would give the Performance a big FAT "0"

Guess I was spoiled

the story was great. But I guess I got spoiled by 1st story's reader. Asaane's perforrmance was so good. Especially her southern accent!
