(Mass Market Paperback)
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.
Richelle Mead graduated from the University of Michigan and has an M.A. in Comparative Religion from Western Michigan University. She currently lives in Seattle with her husband, and is at work on her next Vampire Academy novel.

December 07, 2009: I am 30 yrs. old and I finally discovered the world of reading four months ago. It all started when my cousin forced me to read Twilight, when I finished, I thought it was the best book in the world, not that I had any to compare it to. So I wanted to read more books to see if there were other books that interested me. I started reading Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead it is a great YA series, and I liked it more than Twilight. Next, I read her Succubus series which was even better. I just finished reading the Dark Swan series, it is awesome and I can't wait for book #3. Richelle Mead makes you believe in the alternate worlds she has created and wish they were real. Her main characters kick butt, and always have relationship problems due to their occupations and hotness!!

October 05, 2009: I really enjoyed this series and can't wait for the 3rd book to come out. The lead character is strong, independant and doesn't take crap from the bad guys. Richelle Mead does a great job with her characters and makes you feel like you know them at the end. Great way to spend a lazy weekend reading!
