Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?

Elena gets kidnapped into a supernatural prison run by a billionaire hunting supernaturals for sport. Part thriller, part Otherworld expansion — Armstrong introduces witches, vampires, and half-demons who become series staples.

Synopsis

Elena Michaels is back—and she has company. When a young witch tells Elena that a group of humans are kidnapping supernaturals, Elena ignores the warning. After all, everyone knows there's no such thing as witches. Soon, however, she's confronted with the truth about her world, when she's kidnapped and thrown into a cell-block with witches, sorcerers, half-demons and other werewolves. As Elena discovers, dealing with her fellow captives is the least of her worries. In this prison, the real monsters carry the keys. Elena is lured into the net of ruthless Internet billionaire Tyrone Winsloe, who is well on his way to amassing a private collection of supernaturals.

At a Glance

Stolen is where Armstrong blows the Otherworld wide open. The first book was intimate werewolf pack drama; this one is a supernatural ensemble thriller. Elena is captured and caged with witches, sorcerers, and half-demons, and has to survive a literal human hunt. The Elena-Clay relationship deepens under pressure, but the real magic is meeting Paige, Lucas, and the rest of the cast who carry future books. Armstrong writes action like a thriller author who happens to love monsters.

Spice StyleNot just how much spice, but what kind. Emotional intimacy? Explicit but vanilla? Plot-driven heat? Know your flavor.

Open door scenes between Elena and Clay. Passionate and physical — their werewolf bond makes intimacy primal and intense but not gratuitous.

Getting SteamyGentle kinks. Fun but nothing too crazy. The appetizer, so to speak.
