Talk about a 'WHOPPER' of a Storm!!! I have to tell you that this book is amazing! Victoria Danann's fifth book tops them all! It begins right where "Moonlight" left off and weaves a tale that is mesmerizing. All of Bad Company is reunited and all of the favorite characters to support them. Get ready for an emotional ride when you read "Gathering Storm"! You definitely need to brace yourself!!! :)

It was an amazing book, I could not put it down, even to do my school work! It continues on with the story and characters we all have grown to love and brings even more into the mix. I love the new book and am ready for the next one already!!! I am rereading the book again, just to make sure I did not forget anything!

Love this series and this author!!!! This story is more focused on B Team (I missed them these last few months) and the new arrivals. Sexy, fun, gut-wrenching... it's all here!

If you have read the prior books from the Black Swan series then you definitely have to read this one. This book brought out all the emotions. One time I was laughing and the next I was crying. It was so good to be back in the black swan world and read about all the characters that I had missed while waiting for this one to come out. Its so awesome to see how all the family's are growing and how the babies are doing. There was definitely a twist that I didn't see coming with Glen,but dont want t

Oh my gosh, I loved this book! I have read all of Victoria Danann's books, and one of the things that I really love about her books is that she is not predictable.....except that they are always funny, exciting, serious, silly, sensual, romantic, and occasionally jaw-dropping....all in every book. I could not have imagined the twists and turns in this book. Absolutely genius! Having said that, all of my favorite characters were there (like a family reunion), but I added a few new ones to my list

Another wonderful installment in one of my favorite series! I love that the Black Swan series weaves in and out of a variety of character's lives. While each book places the spotlight on someone (or several someones) new, the audience is generally kept up to date with those characters we've grown attached to as the series has progressed.

With this 5 book of the set I don't know how Victoria did it but I'm in love with this book! You have to read in order, so please get the first one and read in order but the things she comes up with.... I could only wish to think like that! The people in her books quickly become very real if only while you read it but when your not reading it you are thinking of them and what will happen next......

I have been following The Black Swan series by Victoria Danann, this book Gathering Storm, the fifth in this series is an absolute fabulous read! I really loved it ! I was treated to another side of Storm, and fell in love with him all over again, and Rosie is such a fun add to the mix of characters in her series! I laughed, cried and really enjoyed this book!!I would definately recommend it!!

What a journey! I'm exhausted(in the best possible way). Now to pick up the pieces. I found myself reading this last installment reverently. As if I were holding the only book in existence. I didn't do this consciously, but our mind's know great art, and this novel is GREAT! Victoria Danann takes us on the latest journey of The Order of the Black Swan with epic detail and a fabulous storyline worthy of any bookworm. Gathering Storm is a stellar edition to this paranormal series(loved it). She al

As a devoted reader of The Order of the Black Swan series I expected nothing but a fantastic read. Each of Victoria Dannan's books has been great. But I believe I laughed & cried more throughout this book than in any of the others. The twists & turns were unbelievable. So many things that I just didn't expect to happen, all the way to the end.
Anyone looking for a GREAT paranormal romance series MUST read this one. But I cannot stress enough that it MUST BE READ IN ORDER. Probably the best parano ...more

Remember when you used to squeal and get all excited growing up over the little things? well this book will have you jumping up and down in your chair squealing cheering yelling, not going to lie I scared my dorm roommate with all the noises of excitement and suspense while I was reading this book. Yeah its THAT good! Victoria Danann has done it again, grabs your full attention from page 1, sucks you back into the world of black swan knights, wolves, witches, sexy demons and super sexy elves, ca

Once again, Victoria Danann has done it again, I love this fifth installment of the series, and pick up where we left on the 4th book, and again was fun to read, have the moments to laugh and sexy times too, like I said was totally in love with the story.
I totally recommend this series a journey that you not will be disappointed...
Thank you again Victoria for another great an exceptional book.

Ms. Danann has done it again. I wondered about the title "Gathering Storm" and after reading the book the title is perfect. I have always had a sweet spot for Storm and the "Storm treat" that Ms. Danann graciously provided is so AWESOME.
After being a go-to-guy for navigating problems, wonder boy Glen finally finds a place with The Order that he belongs. I also loved his love interest!! Wish I could say more without spoiling anything.

Gathering Storm is the fifth instalment of Victoria Danann's Order of The Black Swan series, which, I have to say, has quickly become one of my favourite paranormal romance series.

I love the Black Swan series. Ms. Danann's witty writing makes me laugh out loud at unexpected times. Gathering Storm was a fast paced story from beginning to end. The story line is well written and the characters strong and likeable. I like how the series continues the stories of all the characters. It is recommended to read the series from the beginning. If you like romance, paranormal, adventure or just a great story this series is for you.

Yet again we have a title that makes absolute sense once you are finished reading. After getting to know the characters so well in the prior books I found myself getting much more emotionally involved in this book than the previous ones. There is a lot of action that you have no trouble envisioning. Victoria keeps you hooked yet again. Just be sure you read this series in order and you will not want so see this ongoing story end.

Oh My gosh...I love the Order of the Black Swan series. Gathering Storm is the best one yet. Victoria is a wonderful writer and story teller. I can't wait until the next volume of the series comes out. I won't talk about anything in the story because you need to read it yourself. Start with the first book in the series and go from there. Thank you for all your books Victoria Danann... Please write faster. :)
