Elena is my least favorite of all of Kelley Armstrong's characters. I hate that all her new Otherworld novellas are just super special Elena and her super special children. That she made them both transform at nine, and that Kate is super special and beautiful but doesn't dress up her like mother, so all the other girls are jealous of her is really boring.

Her newest protag is a little better, but her waffling on the half-hobgoblin guy or the dark forest fae guy and the obvious misunderstandings between them is driving me crazy. I just hope she doesn't end it with an open/polyamorous solution, because that would have made five books of waffling unbearably pointless.

I have no idea what series you two are talking about (help a guy out?) but holy shit that sounds awful. Precocious children in books are one of my hugest pet peeves.

The waffling shit is why I gave up Janet Evanovich's "One For The Money" (etc) series. By the 8th novel of seeing Stephanie go back and forth between two equally irritating male characters and I was like "that's it". I'd been rooting for Ranger at first but after awhile both he and Joe just irritated me every time they were on the page, and Stephanie started out refreshing as hell and ended up a horrible stereotype.

Elena is basically the main protagonist to Kelley Armstrong's The Otherworld series. She's not always the PoV character, but she's gotten the most books, is the one the series started with, and is who all the new short stories are about.

She's really hard to read because, well, she's the ~only female werewolf~. She got turned by her super hawt werewolf boyfriend because he was scared he was going to lose her, and she has a tragic backstory (raped in fostercare) so she finally "accepted" being a badass superspecial one of a kind woman who ages slowly and can't ever get fat is who she was meant to be. She's now the alpha of the NA pack, and has two of the only 'full blooded werewolf' children ever. (Werwolves are only males, women never survive the change-Elena was just superspecial) And don't get me wrong, I love the Otherwold series, but Elena's werewolves are the least enjoyable part of it for me.

The second book is her newer paranormal series, Cainsville. Basically there's a destined love triangle between the special Fae who can make whoever's land she lives on amazingly powerful, so the two fae courts are fighting over her banging a hot guy from each of their camps. The hobgoblin broody damaged 'treats you like crap but secretly cares about you' Gabriel, and the no flaws really boring but will bang you anywhere he wants dark Fae motorcycle gang prince Ricky.

My annoyance with Elena is only trumped by my loathing for Clayton.

Yeah, that his almost killing Elena by biting her and the whole rapey scene annoys me.
