Broken
by Kelley Armstrong


Book 6 in Kelley Armstrong's supernatural series marks the return of werewolf Elena Michaels from Bitten and Stolen. When half-demon Xavier calls in the favour Elena owes him, it seems easy enough - steal Jack the Ripper's 'From Hell' letter away from a Toronto collector who had himself stolen it from the Ripper evidence boxes in the Metropolitan Police files. But nothing in the supernatural world is ever as simple as it seems. Elena accidentally triggers a spell placed on the letter, and manages to tear an opening that leads into the nether regions of Victorian London. Toronto may be looking for a tourism boost, but 'Gateway to Hell' isn't quite the new slogan the city had in mind ...

This novel also sees Elena coping with being pregnant, and being a werewolf this presents unique circumstances. I enjoyed this series of novels, as they present a larger world than you usually see in a series, with novels linked, but featuring different main characters. The narrators may change, but the cast of characters doesn't diminish. If you liked a narrator, she's certain to return as a secondary character and perhaps as the narrator of a future book.

How many supernatural series can I get wrapped up in? Obviously, not enough!
