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...

    There are big changes afoot for Odile Dark Swan, a.k.a Eugenie Markram, in this book, and it's a lot to take in all at once, but she seems to be coping okay so far. I like the world, or rather, worlds that Richelle Mead has created here and I can't wait to see how the prophecy unfolds.

    I'm not quite sure what I think of the two men in her life at this point. I kind of like them both, but also there's a bit of trepidation, I'm not sure how much I trust either of them yet. It's probably too soon to say. There was a surprising number of sex scenes in this book. Quite often a first-in-a-series urban fantasy book doesn't have any so it was quite steamy for a UF.
