Chronicle Supposing Books Black Swan Rising (Black Swan Rising #1)

When New York City jewelry designer Garet James stumbles into a strange antiques shop in her neighborhood, her life is about to be turned upside down. John Dee, the enigmatic shopkeeper, commissions her to open a vintage silver box for a generous sum of money. Oddly, the symbol of a swan on the box exactly matches the ring given to her by her deceased mother. Garet can't believe her luck and this eerie coincidence until she opens the box and otherworldly things start happening. . . .

That evening, the precious silver box is stolen. When Garet begins to investigate, she learns that she has been pulled into a prophecy that is hundreds of years old, and opening the box has unleashed an evil force onto the streets of Manhattan and the world at large. Gradually, Garet pieces together her true identity--one that her deceased mother desperately tried to protect her from. Generations of women in Garet's family, including her beloved mother, suffered and died at the hands of this prevailing evil. Does Garet possess the power to reclaim the box and defeat this devastating force?

On her journey, she will meet the fey folk who walk unnoticed among humans and a sexy vampire who also happens to be a hedge fund manager that she can't stop thinking about. But the fairies reveal a desire to overpower mere humans and the seductive vampire has the power to steal the life from her body. Whom can Garet trust to guide her? Using her newfound powers and sharp wit, Garet will muster everything she's got to shut down the evil taking over her friends, family, New York City, and the world.

4.5 StarsThis book was surprisingly wonderful. It was actually written by Carol Goodman and her husband Lee Slominky.

This book was a very pleasant surprise for at least two reasons.I had not realised this, but Lee Carroll is a pseudonym for Carol Goodman and her husband, Lee Slonimsky. I have been a fan of Goodmans books for years, ever since I read The Lake of Dead Languages in 2002 and was delighted to discover that she has (co-) written books I never knew existed.The second surprise was that this book was more literary than most urban fantasies/vampire novels Ive read so far. I guess that is probably

I read this book as part of the Transworld book club reading challenge 2011.I picked this title even though its not normally a genre I'd choose, as I thought it would be more of a challenge than reading 4 books I'd have chosen anyway. Hmm maybe that was a big mistake.I guess this is what you'd call "urban fantasy" Its about a young woman who lives in New York, designs and makes jewellery for a living (I thought that might give me some common ground as I make jewellery) Her mother died when she

I was excited to get a copy of Black Swan Rising by Lee Carroll the husband and wife writing team of Carol Goodman and Lee Slonimsky. I enjoyed the Carol Goodmans The Demon Lover and The Water Witch and as I settled down to read Black Swan Rising, I knew I was in for a treat.Black Swan Rising is a beautifully written gothic style tale. The world is richly described, a modern day New York City layered with the magical world of the fae and an assortment of many different paranormal creatures. I
