More About This Book

Overview

Just typical. No love life to speak of for months, then all at once, every horny creature in the Otherworld wants to get in your pants. . .

Eugenie Markham is a powerful shaman who does a brisk trade banishing spirits and fey who cross into the mortal world. Mercenary, yes, but a girl's got to eat. Her most recent case, however, is enough to ruin her appetite. Hired to find a teenager who has been taken to the Otherworld, Eugenie comes face to face with a startling prophecy—one that uncovers dark secrets about her past and claims that Eugenie's first-born will threaten the future of the world as she knows it.

Now Eugenie is a hot target for every ambitious demon and Otherworldy ne'er-do-well, and the ones who don't want to knock her up want her dead. Eugenie handles a Glock as smoothly as she wields a wand, but she needs some formidable allies for a job like this. She finds them in Dorian, a seductive fairy king with a taste for bondage, and Kiyo, a gorgeous shape-shifter who redefines animal attraction. But with enemies growing bolder and time running out, Eugenie realizes that the greatest danger is yet to come, and it lies in the dark powers that are stirring to life within her. . .

    A good read...

    Well, when I picked this book up, it certainly turned out different that I had suspected. That, however, is a good thing. I started reading another series of Richelle Mead books, and thought I would give another series a turn. I can't wait for the next book to come out (I even have it marked in my todo calendar). It's pretty racey in parts, and will definatley leave your brain with a visual, and imaginative series of events that you can't help but picture. Not for the prudish or too young! However, if you really have an imagination that needs some exercise, this book will be a pleasure.

    Less is definitely more! Prevailing sexual theme a turn-off.

    I liked the plot of Storm Born, but I didn't like what was driving the plot along (if that makes sense). The main character, Eugenie, is a powerful shaman, who is able to banish spirits and the like to the Otherworld. In trying to rescue a girl that has been abducted by the fey or gentry, she discovers something about herself, aided in the process by two love interests. I think this is a somewhat original concept that was very appealing to me. HOWEVER, the book was bursting at the seams with all this sexual content. The author mentions rape, condoms, birth control, pregnancy, etc...in EVERY chapter. I wasn't expecting this to be the dominant theme of Storm Born, and unfortunately, after reading some of the reviews about Books 2 and 3, this theme continues, and some of her foreshadowing is realized in the later installments. Personally, this is not what I want to read about, so I will not continue with the other books in the series.

    The Perfect 10

    When a writer creates a supernatural character, she also creates boundaries for that character. Things that are beyond the character's capability. I have read too many books lately where the author sets limits for their character and then flagrantly disregards these boundaries, either, when the character is put in an impossible dilemma or at the end, for a snazzy climax. Worse the author turns her character's exploits into a series and plain forgets what she wrote in the beginning. It pisses me off To. No. End!
    That's why I fell in love with Storm Born. Richelle Mead knows how to create an exciting character and keep her story straight! This book had EVERYTHING I love in a novel! It was funny, exciting, and HOT! HOT! HOT! I am now addicted to all things Richelle Mead :)

    Another great series by Richelle Mead!

    I am 30 yrs. old and I finally discovered the world of reading four months ago. It all started when my cousin forced me to read Twilight, when I finished, I thought it was the best book in the world, not that I had any to compare it to. So I wanted to read more books to see if there were other books that interested me. I started reading Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead it is a great YA series, and I liked it more than Twilight. Next, I read her Succubus series which was even better. I just finished reading the Dark Swan series, it is awesome and I can't wait for book #3. Richelle Mead makes you believe in the alternate worlds she has created and wish they were real. Her main characters kick butt, and always have relationship problems due to their occupations and hotness!!

    a fine fun fantasy

    Her stepfather trained shaman Eugenie ¿Odile¿ Markham in how to send back creatures who cross over from the Otherworld. Eugenie is excellent at her vocation, but now has a much more complex issue confronting her after she exorcised the lost soul from the sole of the sneaker. Wil Delaney asks Odile to rescue his sister Jasmine, who he says fairies abducted her taking the girl back to their realm, which Odile knows is Otherworld. Although her beloved stepfather warned her never to cross over, Eugenie knows she must try to rescue the child.---------- When she crosses over Eugenie finds herself the target of almost every male in Otherworld for they know she is the Dark Swan the focus of a key prophesy involving a child she will birth. She also meets her biological father the Storm King who will sell her to the highest bidder while two men, Kiyo the spirit fox and King Dorian offer to help her retrieve the female and take her back to the mortal side however Eugenie trusts no one but herself on this side.------------------ The tale begins as an amusing urban fantasy, but once Eugenie leaves behind the world of ¿Nike¿ to cross over it turns into a humorous investigative ¿quest¿ fantasy. The story line is fast-paced from the opening sneaker ploy and filled with non-stop action and characters who bring Otherworld to life. However, though the plot is obviously the introduction to the Black Swan saga, the sarcastic self deprecating heroine who is the focus of every Y chromosome bearer makes STORM BORN a fine fun fantasy.--------------- Harriet Klausner

    Outstanding!

    I absolutely loved this book! This is a true urban fantasy w/ a just enough sex/romance, mystery and action. Richelle Mead does it again. Can't wait for Thorn Queen.

    An amazing series you won't be able to put down.

    I bought this because it was on the nook daily find and it was one of my best ebook purchases! I stayed up all night reading this and the second book is no exception. I went ahead and bought the last two in the series because I know I won't stop until they are finished. You will love this, you really get attached to characters... its a page turner thats for sure!

    Expected More

    This is the first time I have read a book by this author and after all the good things I have heard about her, I have to say I expected more. While the writing is not bad, I found the story a little boring and I really struggled to get through the book.
