Half human/half Katsune (fox demon) Kiyo becomes her companion, more or less, for the rest of the book.however, het come face-to-face with Eugenie’s non-human wannabe suiters who want to impregnate her with a mythical child who is prophesied to bring magnificent power. It’s later revealed that a future date she meets while waiting at a bar, is this little furry friend. Through the book, Eugenie feels an odd presence following her in the form of a mysterious fox.
This trope is way too common in books when we all know when a protagonist is told not to do something….they do it! I think it should be officially placed in the, “Protagonist Code of Conduct” Rule Book for writers. Hearing of her new assignment, he warns her to leave this one alone. Her mother had been kidnapped and impregnated by a high gentry later to be rescued by Eugenie’s current shaman step-father.
In short, Eugenie’s origins are shrouded in mystery. She finds herself in a bind when a concerned college boy, pleads for her to rescue his sister from another dimension. Storm Born is the first book in the Dark Swan Series which surrounds shaman Eugenie Markham who makes her living by being hired by humans to banish spirits and mythological gentry who traipse their way into the human dimension. With Storm Born, I’m thankful I pushed out the reviews I discovered and read the book myself. The reviews I read for this book are similar to Soundless. Even though I’m a reviewer, it’s up to you, the Reader, to decide whether the novel is worth reading or not. At the time I read Storm Born, I had looked up what others had said about it. I’ve heard both positive and negative reviews on this book. I recently picked up Soundless at the library and planning to start reading it this week. I know it may sound crazy, but it’s true. On the other hand, I enjoy her adult novels. I am one of those fans who has been reading her books since high school. Richelle Mead fans are mostly familiar with the Vampire Academy and it’s spin-off series.
I have been meaning to review Storm Born for awhile now.
