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....

I am a huge fantasy, supernatural, wiccan related fan. This series is one of the best I've read first and listened to on audiobook. Rachel keeps you wanting to keep moving forward to see what happens next. It would be nice if she came out with a runoff the series or continue forward. Great Read and Listen.

One of my favorite series from Rachel.

I was surprised I hadn’t seen this sooner considering I’m a long longtime fan of Vampire Academy and the Ruby Circle.

This book is funny and surprisingly sexy. Also the narrator has a classically matured female voice that I found fitting for the main character.

I’m excited to listen to all of this series. Although I’m a bit concerned for the 4th book. It doesn’t have great reviews saying the story was left unfinished and rushed. I find endings to be most important to a good book. A lot of writers have lost this ability to solidify a good ending. I will still listen to the series though.

Loved it

Love the story line… hate the voice narrator. Makes it hard to keep focus when it just doesn’t not match at all.

I love Richelle Mead and will always be grateful for the Vampire Academy series and its spin off series, they are apart of my yearly reads. I listened to a couple of the Succubus books, worth a once through, and found this catchy titled series: the Storm Born. I eagerly started listening to it. Unfortunately the whole thing fell flat for me. I would compare it to a B film bordering on cheap porn. Not her best work by a long shot. But Vampire Academy was her opus and anything that comes after it will never be as good. I also felt a thesaurus would have been a beneficial tool, to avoid repeating the same words over and over again in a single paragraph and occasional sentence. All that being said, I'm still a huge fan and am going to continue my support of this fantasy author!

Meh.

What I didn’t like was the voice actor, she sounds much older than the main character, and since it’s a first person story it just doesn’t vibe for me. I enjoyed the story, I didn’t have the complaints that other people did.

Not what I expected

I love Richelle Mead and very much enjoy this series. But the narrator sounds way too old for the main character. Terrible.

Not the right narrator

The narrator did a good job, the story… I like some parts and dislike others. Main character is supposed to be powerful, but why does she keep getting caught. I hate stories where people are in love after a month… I don’t like the love interest in this book at all. Hoping the next book grows and is better. Love Dorian though. I also hate writing reviews, so I get to the point and I’m done.

Not sure about this one.

I love the narrator. I don't even care. She fit the vibe of the book PERFECTLY.

As for Miss Richelle... oh... she always hits the nail on the head. love MULTIPLE of her works.

Richelle NEVER MISSES

A more sexual one out of Mead's series. Interesting worlds and creatures. Engaging. But the narrator's voice is far too mature for the protagonist. Not bad, per se, but a serious mismatch: a 45-55 voice for a 20-30 character. Very distracting.

Good Story, Mismatched Narrator

I usually love Rochelle Meade but this book was just a miss. The reader just has the wrong voice and the books just not that good and the reader it’s just the wrong person it doesn’t go well. I do, however recommend most of Rochelle Meades other books.
