Review: Frostbitten
Frostbitten by Kelley Armstrong
In Kelley Armstrong’s Frostbitten the female werewolf Elena Michaels returns and together with her mate Clay; the enforcer of the American pack investigates some brutal deaths near Anchorage, Alaska.
Elena Michaels is without a doubt Kelley’s favorite character as this is the fourth book about her, of ten in the series, and it’s not hard to understand as her introductions to the supernatural world is somewhat unusual. At the beginning of this book it’s clear that Elena has accepted what happened and is starting to plan for her future together with Clay and their young twins.
This book has an interesting and compelling mix of actions worthy of the best detective novel and character development where Elena slowly transforms from an insecure working mother to a kick-ass alpha candidate.

Review: The War of the Worlds
The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The War of the Worlds really awakened my curiosity for classic SciFi novels, mainly due to the brilliant form in which it was written. It's laid out as a diary, where a London based writer describing an invasion from Mars of the pre-industrialized England and his struggles to reunite with his wife.
Worth to keep in mind is that it was written over a hundred years ago and published at the end of the 19th century.
This is the book, after a re-write by Orson Wells for radio, in 1938 scared radio listeners due to its realistic portrayal of an alien invasion.
