DESCRIPTION

A secret society, modern day knights, an accidental pilgrim from an alternate dimension, and a vampire like no other come together where chance intersects romance for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure proving that true love can find you in the strangest places, even far, far from home.

Minutes ahead of inevitable assassination, Elora Laiken is forcibly transported to an alternate dimension similar, but not identical, to her own.

Of course a girl could suffer worse problems than having gorgeous suitors. Perhaps more importantly, in the midst of an epidemic of vampire related abductions, can she stay alive long enough to choose between an honor debt, true love, or the breathlessness of single-minded passion?

My Familiar Stranger is a full length, stand alone, Paranormal Romance novel that also sets up the foundation for the Black Swan series. It is loved by fans of paranormal romance, fantasy romance, and urban fantasy.

Erotic quotient: 18+ Adult Paranormal Romance. A few steamy scenes. No menage. No BDSM.

"Oh my elf. I've read everything from Eragon to Harry Potter to Inkspell. And predicted the end to each one. But my god is this spectacular!!! The ending was sweet, but kept you guessing! This is the new "Twilight"... for adults of course." - Quote the Raven

 

'This book was a RIDE! I simply cannot say enough great things about Victoria Danann and the genius that is My Familiar Stranger. Danann's writing style is uniquely honest and captivates her audience with both plot and characters in a well-developed and thoughtful world (or "worlds" as it seems).' - Between the Bind

My Familiar Stranger, BLACK SWAN 1

Romancing the Vampire Hunters.

"Victoria Danann has crafted an incredible world or worlds. The characters are each magnificent in their own unique way. Her secondary characters are equally well done. Conversations are realistic, humorous, provocative and just plain fun. The plot is wonderful, twisty, funny and heart rending. All the things an epic should be. You are literally in this world with them, experiencing their pains, triumphs and frustrations. 

"I think the term “a must read” is probably overused, so how do I tell you that you really haven’t lived until you’ve read this series? Yeah, it’s that good!" -  Georgianna S., The Reading Cafe

"Firstly, while this may be the author’s first foray into fiction, PLEASE don’t let it be her last. Wow, is she good! This book is amazing. Love the story, love the concept, can’t wait for number 2. If I could write like this I would never do anything else… " - Books, Books, and More Books

"My Familiar Stranger was a wonderfully engrossing paranormal romance with just a dash of science fiction that grabbed me from page one and didn't let go! Ms. Danann absolutely knows how to get a series going. My Familiar Stranger created a captivating new world with so many possibilities.' - Bitten by Paranormal Romance

'This book is not the usual paranormal story that I am used to reading. It is way better. ... There are many surprises and in this reviewer's opinion this book had it all. '  - The Paranormal Romance Guild

"WOW! I read this book in what two days because I just couldn't put it down. "My Familiar Stranger: The Order of the Black Swan" by Victoria Danann was emotional, sweet, moving, funny, heart-wrenching, action-packed and totally enthralled me from the get go! On the edge of my seat I was hitting the turn key on my Kindle trying to figure out what was going to happen next. Nothing is predictable." - Emily Guido, author of the Lightbearer Series

"I was enthralled with the well-written storyline, and was disappointed when the book came to the end." - Rhonda Valverde for Vampire Romance Books.com

"Go sneak off to your reading nook, get comfy and get ready to dive into a new dimension with horrors, villains and true love that will keep the pages turning till the very end leaving you wanting more, but satisfied!"  - Addicted to Reading

...a really interesting tight and ultimately fantastic story. This is clearly the opener to a series about the Knights and what Knights they are, all alpha and honourable. I do see shades of Lara Adrian's Breed books and shades of J R Wards Black Dagger books, but this story is unique enough that it stands out all on its own and can stand up along side those other books and I think given time will elbow them out of the way with the rich story telling and deep emotional core that makes you want to know more and see them all find love. I think what set this book apart was the skilful way the three way love interests were handled and we didn't know who she would choose until it happened. - Kerry, Musings of a Bookworm

"My Familiar Stranger is a very complex book that is beautiful and heartwarming. There are numerous laugh out loud moments, as well as several nail biting, edge-of-your-seat moments. The adventure quotient is high, but not too much so. The romance in the novel is built in seamlessly, exquisitely enhancing the story. I absolutely loved this novel, and cannot wait for the next one!" - Night Owl Reviews

"I have read many vampire novels over the years, some good and some just plain awful. My Familiar Stranger is a breath of fresh air to the vampire genre that has been done to death thanks to the overrated Twilight series. My Familiar Stranger has an original plot. I thought it was pure genius that the author would set the book in a parallel universe. The characters are all likeable and the dialogue is snappy." - Coffee Addicted Writer's Blog

"Victoria Danaan has created a new world that explodes stereotypes of what warriors, vampire & elves should be. "My Familiar Stranger" had my full attention from chapter one, kept me guessing who Elora would end up with, and still had a surprise at the very end! Can't wait to read the next in a great new series. " - Dancerrhythm

"Take one parallel universe jump, an elite paramilitary company of knights who are tasked with eradicating vampires, a vampire with a `life wish' and then blend in a liberal sprinkling of characters drawn from old European religious idolatry, superior advanced medical technology and a touch of humor and you start to define the basics in this book. Created with a deft hand, each character is so well developed and defined that their voices are unique and specific, although their development is gradual, as befitting of plot and action. The rest of the story is just as well-crafted, almost to the point that you aren't 100% certain that the world described is not just outside your door. The author has done a stellar job in creating the world, those who live within it, and a story-line that both compels you to read as you rush through to see just what happens next, and who gets the girl." - Booked and Loaded

 

 

"Let me just say I am (im)patiently awaiting the next installment. I loved this story. I loved how Ms. Danann didn't make this story into an instant love, it progressed over time. It was a wonderfully intriguing romance with it's own twist on the paranormal world and I loved every page." - Bitten by Love Reviews

"I absolutely loved this book! Paranormal romance isn't a genre I usually read but after reading the plot, I was intrigued by this book and decided to broaden my reading horizons and give it a try. I'm so glad I did too because I devoured the book in less than two days!" - Book Nympho

"Wow! Fantastic! The writing is excellent. The word choice, superb. I fell in love with the vocabulary, it was so fun to roll around in the words that I didn't realize the pages were turning. The characters were wonderfully created and the world is interesting and clever. The story is nicely paced, intriguing, and original. This book was a pleasure to read." - Beverly for The Wormhole

Obviously, I enjoy a bit of dangerous romance, but what I absolutely love reading is action and adventure stories with characters that make me care about them. This book excels in doing just that. - Laurie's Paranormal Thoughts and Reviews
