Dime Store Magic :: Kelley Armstrong
Genre: Fantasy
Year: 2004
I have to admit I was delighted when I learned that this author was Canadian. It doesn't seem often that I come across a Canadian author who write fantasy fiction. I first read Bitten a couple of years ago and loved it. I loved it so much I read it twice before I let it go back to the library! So when I came across this novel I snapped it up without a thought, and I was not disappointed. Paige Winterbourne is a genuine character, by which I mean it's easy to get into her head. Often in Fantasy novels the core of the character is neglected in favour of the magic spells and demons. While I think there is room for more exploration, I don't think I will be disappointed, since Paige shows up in the next book: Industrial Magic.

I agree ... Dime Store Magic was the first one I read as well. Went and picked up all the others as soon as I finished. Took me quite a while to find "Stolen" (still saving that one for the right time).
I like how Armstrong has two separate streams going -- the werewolf series and the witch series -- with common characters.
You should pick up Haunted as well. It goes into Eve's feelings and is an interesting take on finding one's place and learning how to let go.
Not to mention, Armstrong has an interesting take on the afterlife.
I haven't read Bitten or Stolen but they are on my to do list.
Great Article!
