Storm of Shadows

Storm of Shadows, Christina Dodd (The Chosen ones Book 2)

ok here goes. This is a paranormal romance. That usually means a normal woman finds lonely werewolf in need of love and a good brushing. Not this time, yay! The intimate scenes are few and actually continue the plot. There is some foreshadowing in the first hundred pages that set up the ending nicely. There are many different folklore references that make the book less predictable. Its a fast read and honestly its brain candy. I read this book in less than five hours (374 pages) If you like this genre, go for it. you can do alot worse.

Plot Spoiler:
This book concerns the finding of a prophecy that will determine the outcome of the world and the balance of god and evil. Abandoned ones are born and abandoned by their mothers. (make sense.) They can become good (chosen) or evil (the others). They all have paranormal abilities that have manifested. They are also marked in some way with a sigil or tattoo on their bodies that have something to do with their power. There are seven active chosen ones working for the good and numerous Others. That is why evil always has a leg up on humanity. If they do not have seven Chosen to protect humanity evil wins period.
After the first book in this series, they are down one Chosen One. The war continues, but the Chosen Ones support group enlarges.
