Electric Storm (Raven Investigation #1)
by
Stacey Brutger (Goodreads Author)
Everything changed when Raven, a natural born conduit, accidentally walks in on a slave auction. She only wants a night out with her friends before her next case as a paranormal liaison with the police. Instead, she ends up in possession of a shifter and his guardian. When your touch can kill, living with two touchy-feely shifters is a disaster waiting to happen.

I'm not sure how to rate Electric Storm. At the beginning, for the fist few chapters and over, I really thought this was going to be a good book, 3 stars verging on the 4.
Then it slowly unravelled. What started pretty fresh and new became a carbon copy of an Anita Blake novel, you could match character to character, story to story. And unfortunately the clone could not hope to win.
The plot was good even if the setting was again a deja-read (Paranormal consult...more

What to say about Electric Storm?

I loved it. Really really loved it. I bought it after borrowing BloodSworn from a friend because it sounded interesting. I'm so glad I did. I liked reading about the world, about the characters, about the mystery.
It sucked me in and kept me going. I devoured it in one sitting. And now I'm dying wishing that I had the second book. Especially after reading the sneak peak preview from Electric Moon.
I loved the character interaction. All the characters. N...more

At one time or another we’ve all experienced a feeling of separation from our friends, family or loved ones, but it’s usually a temporary distance. If not temporary, eventually other people come into our lives to replace the connections we’ve lost.
But what if separating yourself from others, living an emotionally isolated lifestyle wasn’t merely a choice but a necessity—the only one that guaranteed you wouldn’t kill the ones you love?
Raven knows because that’s the way she’s existed for the past...more

This was an interesting book. There was a passel of men throughout a la Laurell K Hamilton and an overpowered magic user who describers her powers to herself and you, like Lilith Saintcrow. It got a little old by the end of the book. And I wanted a bit more decisiveness to the theme of the story. There's no sex, despite the harem, but the attraction was prevalent while the mystery raged on. I like a good urban fantasy with the bit of romance and a lot of mystery. But I was left a little hanging...more
I was having some technical issues with the Amazon version of this book. It made my Kindle go crazy when I tried to change the size of the font. The font is incredibly small for some reason. Lucky for me, Stacey Brutger is an amazing author, and she provided me with a bug-free file of the book. I have to admit, her going out of her way to help me made me love her a little bit more...

I thought this book was very well written and full of sizzling, detailed description. It drew me in from the start and I refused to put it down even when I needed to get to bed. The author crafted a detailed fictional world full of interesting, diverse characters.
The heroine, Raven, is a natural born protector and leader. It's rare to find such a strong, engaging alpha female. Also, the heroes, and I do mean hero in the plural form, are all very swoon-worthy...more

Electrical Storm, started off very confusing. A few reviews said it was slow but my opinion was, that there was no intro. We just jumped immediately into the story and were left in some confusion, as to what was going on and who Raven, really and truly was. I did like the story and I'm kicking myself in the ass for even reading it, simply because I want to second novel, NOW! Overall, after the confusion past and we began to notice the other characters, it turned out to be quite a delightful nove...more
Hmmmm...I don't know what to make of this book. It's almost like an Anita Blake remake. The main character even has different animal DNA in her and the animals are constantly trying to take over. This is also book 1 and she already has 4 men vying for attention, at least Anita waited a few books. AND she helps the police with paranormal cases. I'm debating whether I should continue this series.

I started reading and could not put this book down! It reminded me a little of the Anita Blake series where the main heroin (Raven) has gathered other characters even as she tires to push them away. I appreciate that Raven grows as a person as the book goes along and the other characters make a wonderful cast that makes that story line shine. Did not see who done it until the end and I usually figure it out and it is nice to be surprised. Awaiting the next installment.
2.5 stars. Reminds me of L.K. Hamilton. So many "lovers" and attraction between them all and eh.... I will continue with the series because aside from the romance, the story line and writing was great.
Woman who can wield electricity after years of evil secret experimentation unwittingly becomes Dorothy to an odd collection of broken heroes (scarecrow, lion and tin man played by werewolves & vampires).
Always happy to find a new author. Liked the characters and storyline. Looking forward to this series continuing.
What a neat start to a new series! I'm dying to read Electric Moon!
Lori's staff pick for the week of 4/22/13.
loved it! couldn't put it down! will defiantly read again!
looks and sounds great...
I won this book as part of the goodreads first reads giveaway. The only reason I gave this book 4 instead of 5 stars is because at times the storylines were very hard to follow and there was also the headache of sifting through all of the grammer and spelling mistakes. I have a hard time understanding how the book made it to print without spell check or an editor to fix these issues. Other than that I absolutely loved the book and am dying to read electric moon so i can find out what happens nex...more
I'm setting this one aside after 20%. I just can't get into this world nor the heroine. I'm a little confused and don't have a good grasp of what is going on.

Stacey Brutger lives in a small town in Minnesota with her husband, son and an assortment of animals.
When she's not reading (from the towering stack of books she can't resist buying), she enjoys creating stories about exotic worlds and grand adventures...then shoving in her characters to see how they'd survive. She enjoys writing anything paranormal from contemporary to historical.
