Stolen: Bitten Vampire Series, #2

By Merrill Gemus

When a shackled Ally awakes inside a cold, damp jail cell, she quickly remembers that her life has taken a sudden wrong turn. Her friends, also incarcerated, are swiftly brought up to date and now fear for their lives. How did get Ally stuck in a vampiric love triangle? Will they ever be freed? Worst still, Ally was in mid-transformation and she was getting quite…thirsty.

Reviews for Stolen

[lawonder10 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Stolen was a continuation of Bitten and thankfully left out the sexual details or situations but still used too much profanity which still made it undesirable for Young Adult reading.This is good writing and a unique idea but in a style for a young audience.There is humor, intrigue and drama within the pages of this novel.

[pamkaye · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

I reviewed Bitten Book 1 in the series, giving it 2 stars. This installment is only slightly better.Stolen is less about Ally and Ben, more about Gabe. Gabe is Ben's best friend. He is hunting for Ally where Ben refuses to believe she could be.I like Gabe. He has more sense than Ben, Ally, and Moira combined. He is the only somewhat developed character in the book.There is still an immature feel to the writing. The English, punctuation, and phrasing errors makes me wonder if English is the authors first language.
