Storm Born #2

Picking up exactly where issue number one ends issue number two dives straight into action. After a night of some hot love making with a guy named Kyo who Eugenie had connected with earlier that night the two get a surprise visit before the night is even over. Or more specifically Eugenie gets a visit and Kyo is the unlucky one who will have to deal with the hotel room charges for damages. I doubt that was on his mind though when, to Eugenie's surprise, he swoops into protector mode and attacks the intruder who looks like a giant walking ice age and actually puts up a decent fight. Our girl Eugenie isn't one to stand on the sidelines though and it's her shaman magic that finally sends the creature back to where he came from leaving behind two very shocked and naked adults staring each other down in a hotel room.

The night ends with very little answers however as Kyo literally disappears before Eugenie could get any answers from him or send him to the underworld and our heroine feels like an idiot for getting involved with what could have possibly been one of the creatures she works every day to vanquish. And another thing to claim her thoughts is that another creature knew her true name and there is more than normal paranormal activity happening around her than she's used to.

Another great issue with a lot more action than the previous book which was shown beautifully through vivid colours and well-drawn action sequences, and a lot more development in the story as well. We got to see more of Eugenie's family life and relationships as well as learn more about what she's like beneath her hard shell and it makes her an even more a likable person then she already was. Another great thing about this issue was the revelation of Kyo being far more than human who I hope to learn more about in issues to come since we don't get to see him anymore after the first few pages.

There was a lot more narration than I would have liked but I understand that the narration was vital to telling the story and couldn't be left out and it definitely wasn't enough of an issue to stop me from wanting to read the next book.
