Bridges does a great job of combining Russian aristocracy/history with the paranormal. Katiya's world is a mix of ballets and balls as well as werewolves, blood drinkers, faeries, zombies and magic.

Looking for some fun in a historic setting? The Gathering Storm by Robin Bridges should be enough to settle in for a quick enough ride for a bored reader, but underneath its surface is a decent, paranormal story that could’ve had more.Katerina is a young woman living in old Russia with a dangerous s...

4.5/5 I always approach authors writing about Russia or Russians with great trepidation, because there are very few of them who really know what they are talking about.
