Bitten

Kelley Armstrong pulls off first person point of view with skill, but the dialogue could use some work. There are quite a few long winded speeches in the beginning that do not feel very natural. We did have a look into Elena's thoughts, but thankfully the book was not dominated by this. I've found a few authors who become stuck in their characters head's with first person. The relationship between Elena and Clay is a bit confusing. Elena is so determined to stay with Philip, yet her actions are not inline with her thoughts. I feel like the first half of the book is filled with supposed morals Elena has that she ends up breaking half way through. This being the case, why were they mentioned at all? I remember the first time I read this book I highly enjoyed it. Kelley Armstrong is one of my favorite authors, but I was a bit more skeptical this time around. Don't get me wrong, the book is a fun read, just not as fun as I remembered
