My Familiar Stranger by Victoria
Danann
My Familiar Stranger is the first book in The Order of the Black Swan
series by Victoria Danann. The book begins with Elora Laiken witnessing the
death of her family and she is saved from death by Catalonius Monq, the tutor to
the royal children. She is given a locket and Mong told she will find someone
"very like me" and to give him the locket to retrieve the data within. He sent
her through a portal into a "strangish" land with the words "Be
Happy".
Members of the B Team of The Order of the Black Swan are in a room
known as the Chamber when there is a force of wind and a flash of light and
something falls to the stone floor. Sol says don't touch it but Storm was
concerned that someone or something was injured. Elora was taken to the
infirmary.
While Elora is recovering she becomes close to Storm and
Ram.
The book continues with relationships, vampires, friendship, elves
and more. There is a lot happening and I thought relationships were the main
theme of this book.
I liked H.E.B. grocery store in the book. I shopped there when I
lived in Texas.
Sex scenes and the f work used a number of times.

I am giving it a 4 star. I liked the book and look forward to reading
