SPECTACULAR!
Victoria Danann's writting is spectacular!
I was an the edge of my seat, glued to my screen, wondering what was going to happen next!!
Victoria Dannan's writting is so intense and full of emotion, that it made me feel like I was actually there with all my favorite characters. I can't count how many times I've had to put my reader down to dab away quite a few tears, both from happiness and from sadness.
There are also quite a few surprises that I never saw coming!!
All I can say is AM ...more

You don't read Victoria's books, you experience them. The tapestry that Victoria has woven with these stories and people is so stunningly brilliant and at the same time rich with deep undertones that you can not help but fall in love.
Victoria's books get under your skin. They work their way into your heart and you fall in love...
in love with these honorable Knights and Ladies...
in love with the depth of love that is shared between husbands and wives...

This book picks up roughly where No 4 ended. Elora, Ram & baby Helm, have moved back into Jefferson Unit. They hope that this will keep Elora safe, from another attack, from the Raglenclan.
Storm & Litha are at their Vineyard with their new baby daughter Elora “Rosie” Rose. Who, although only being 6 weeks old. Is already proving she is a very special little girl.
Jefferson Unit is going through changes. It is temporarily being converted from a hunter facility to a Training & Research Institution, ...more

Once again Victoria has written a book that keeps you turning pages because you can't wait to find out what happens. I love the little references that remind us that this isn't the same dimension in which the story takes place. Glen's story is fleshed out more and I think we will hear more about him in future books as his tale isn't finished. Elora once again has to battle Stagnare dimension but with Helm at risk as well. There is nothing like a mother fighting for her "babies" including the tra

Gathering Storm...book 5 in the awesome The Order of the Black Swan Saga will blow you away! The book is everything that readers of the series have to come to expect and then some. Love, laughter, suspense, surprises, laugh out loud moments, crying in your sweet tea moments and a few moments where you go 'WHAT!?!' The plot twists and turns kept me turning the pages and up way past my normal off to bed time as I just had to keep reading to the end to find out what was going to happen. Old favorit

Another great edition to a fantastic series! I have loved this series from the first book My Familiar Stranger to the upcoming Gathering Storm, which comes out September 19th. The books must be read in order and it's quite a wild ride! Especially for a newer indie author Victoria Dannan has shown major writing chops as she continues to skillfully develop this incredible world of the Order of the Black Swan. Gathering Storm picks up shortly after Moonlight ends and again takes us in a direction t

Please please please read this series in order. Starting with My Familiar Stranger, which is permafree by the way! This world is very similar to ours and it is easy to forget that it is not exactly the same. If you have not read the previous books then you will be totally confused and will hate it. I want you to love it so please start from the very beginning..OH! And if you are not happy with the ending of the first book, still give the second book, A Witch's Dream, a try. The second book made

Gathering Storm is the 5th Installment of the Black Swan Series.. and while I enjoyed everyone of them. This is my Favorite so far and that's saying alot.. Especially since I said that with all the other books in this series..
This Book left my mouth and jaw hanging.. It had many twists and turns I did not see coming. I cried, Laughed and just sat back and shook my head..
All our favorite Black Swan Knights are back.. Elora, Ram , Storm, Kay, Glen.. plus a few new characters...

Vampires, Witches and Demons, Oh My!
Gathering Storm, by Victoria Danann, is one of those rare books that can honestly draw a reader into the story and not let go. From the first page on, it was impossible to put down. Ever since the first book in the series, My Familiar Stranger, I've been addicted to the Order of the Black Swan series. The characters are delightful and enchanting, the stories and worlds are vast and full of adventure and intrigue. Gathering Storm just continues to build on tha ...more

WOW!!!! I wasn't expecting what this book has to offer. I loved it from the beginning to the end. I have to admit I did get a bit confused with a couple of the characters but all was cleared up very quickly. I love the trainee's...their courage, team work, all of it. This book had me laughing, getting mad a few times, and crying. This book covers quite a few genre's all wrapped up in one series. There is so much love and compassion in all 5 of Victoria Danann's The Order of Black Swan Series and

How the author depicts to the story as a whole will captivate you. You seem to think that “Wow this has be my favorite so far in the series” then bam the next comes out and you think the same thing again…

I am so conflicted about this one. Is it my favorite? Or is it my least favorite? There are parts that I really loved, but then out of nowhere it would turn dark. I guess it's just too much of a mixed bag to decide, so I'll go with the higher rating here.
The story starts as normally as they all do, except for a freak accident that lands Storm in another dimension with no way home. Litha is obviously pissed at her demon father, who was transporting her husband at the time. Everyone offers to help ...more
