Short book review: "Broken" by Kelley Armstrong

I think Broken may be my favorite book in this series so far. We've reverted back to the first main character, Elena the werewolf. She's now pregnant, and going nuts being babied by the rest of her pack. She's also terrified she's going to lose her baby; and that internal drama got a little tiring at times.

Still, the basic story was really good. Elena accepts what they think is just a research job, but predictably turns out to be more. She's hired to steal back a letter supposedly written by Jack the Ripper, which is actually some sort of dimensional portal that releases a couple of disease-ridden zombies from 1800s London. To hunt them down, and determine if Jack the Ripper was released as well, Elena, Clay, and Jeremy enlist the help of a couple of vampires and Jamie Vegas (necromancer).

This was the first book in the series that I couldn't put down from start to finish, I highly recommend it.
