  <default_description> 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... &lt;P&gt; 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.  &lt;P&gt; 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...</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Eugenie Markham, also called Odile the Dark Swan, is a shaman.  Not the beads in the hair, buckskin wearing or natural drug inducing kind, but a real warrior with the ability to bind and banish spirits and creatures of the Otherworld.

    <body><![CDATA[This was an interesting read. I haven't read much by this author so I wasn't sure if I was going to really like this one, but I ended up enjoying it. It was an intriguing concept, and I don't want to go into that much detail because it would have spoilers in it.. but there were some definite things ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/67638887">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[These two stories are interesting, but it felt like something was missing.  The heroine is a shaman who fights fae and can move between our world and the fae world (Otherworld).  She later finds out that she is half fae with tremendous potential power.<br/><br/>Although the Otherworld exists in ou...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/71866286">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I thought that this book was very good--very different from Mead's other series and a different twist on the faerie realm fantasy niche.  Eugenie Markham is a shaman who regularly banishes spirits and other members of the Otherworld out of ours.  Her world is turned upside down when she discovers th...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/38325329">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I love Mead's Vampire Academy series, like Succubus books as well; naturally I expected to enjoy Storm Born too. Unfortunately, I was wrong. In fact, I couldn't believe how bad it was. Did Richelle actually write this?<br/><br/>First of all, the plot itself was very weak.
