This collection is the first three books In The Order of the Black Swan saga. I have a read a lot of PNR, but this has such a refreshing and new twist on the genre. Victoria Danann's writing style is amazing and unique.  This is an ongoing story, but what's different about this series is each book has a unique story.  The characters you fall in love with in book 1 are seamlessly woven into book 2.  In book 2 new characters are introduced and a unique story is told, that also include the main characters from book 1, and then they all carry on into book 3, and then book 4 and soon to be book 5.  What else is unique?  This isn't a story about just vampires or werewolves.  Yes, they're in there (and mighty hot I might add), but there's also elves, fae, a witch, a berserker, a psychic, a demon, a summoner, a secret society of Knights who hunt vampires, parallel universes, assassins from parallel universes . . . Yes, it's all in there.Book 1 starts out with Elora being forced into an alternate dimension to escape assassination.  There she meets the hunky Knights of the B Team, and a 'love square' ensues while the Knights try to eradicate the vampires.  Book 2 continues with broken hearts, a trip to Ireland, a hand fasting (wedding), a demon abduction, and a new love story.  Book 3 is my absolute favorite so far because Baka, the sexy ex-vamp in this series, flashes back on his life and let me tell you, he has met some very cool and historical people along the way.  He also finds love, that is not unfamiliar to him.The Knights of B Team are a family.  You can feel their bond.  You become a part of it. You will fall in love with them, laugh with them, and cheer them on.  Each book takes you on quite the ride.  I highly recommend reading this saga in order, and this collection is the perfect way to start.
