Publisher's summary

Half-Navajo Janet Begay possesses extraordinary power that is tied to the storms that waft across the desert. The only person who can control her when she's caught in the storm's evocative power is Mick, a dark-haired, blue-eyed biker Janet can't seem to touch with her powers. He can wield fire and not get burned, and Janet's never sure where he goes when they're not together.

Together she and Mick investigate mysterious disappearances, which Janet fears are tied to her mother's people, the mythical gods from beneath the earth. They are helped along the way by Coyote and Crow, but these shapeshifting gods have their own agendas.

Critic reviews

"The mix of kick-butt action, fiery passion and serious drama ensure [listeners] will want to revisit this world ASAP." ( Romantic Times)

Just mediocre

This was a very slow moving book. I was disappointed that it seemed to be an amalgamation of character, plot, and world building ideas from a lot of other popular paranormal series but added very little that was truly original. The narrator was pretty good but I still found myself skipping entire chapters just to get through the story.

Very Entertaining

I didn't expect much from this story after reading some of the reviews, but that's why you have to read or listen to a book yourself. My biggest issue was with the sheriff. To not realize that he has to be different after being hit with different powers... come on! Otherwise, fun to listen to.

A Good Listen

I liked this one...and have had the e-book forever....not sure why I waited so long but. it took the audio being released to get my butt in gear to start it.

Some of it was easy to figure out early on but there were still a few twists and turns that were surprising. The narration was great...can't wait for book 2

I think I am going to like this series!

I got this one on sale and I think I have been hooked in! I can't wait to see what the next one has to offer! The narrator is excellent!

Similar to Jane Yellowrock series.

A very good listen, books 2 and 3 build on this one making a series worth listening.

A great new series

Where does Stormwalker rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It rates right up there with Mercy Thompson of Storm Born by Richelle Mead. I can't wait to get rest of the series.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

yes, a virtual page turner.

Any additional comments?

Waiting to acquire the rest of the series.

Gods, Goddesses and Harleys

I was looking for a new story to listen to while driving back and forth to my in-laws about 3 hours away and stumbled on the fact that Jennifer Ashley (Highland Pleasures series) was writing alternative fiction under the Allyson James name. The fact that there were already 3 titles in the series with a 4th upcoming was an added bonus.

This story moves right along right from the start and we meet most of the major characters in the first two chapters. Hillary Huber does a great job of differentiating the characters, and I really like what she does with them. Nash is a little strident, but the rest are just spot on. She really gets Maya's "up yours" attitude and conveys it with every word.

In my opinion, the characters are well drawn and believable. They definitely make me want to rush to the Crossroads Motel and buy them a drink!

My favorite scene in the book involves Janet, Maya and a bottle of tequila. You'll laugh, bite your nails and drive right past your exit just so you can keep on listening. Can't wait to hear the rest of the series. Thanks, Audible!

Fun ride into the southwest

Would you listen to Stormwalker again? Why?

Yes it has a fun fantasy feel to it. The lead character had a dry humor I liked.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Ever wonder if evil really lies beneath us?

Any additional comments?

Should be in straight Fantasy where it belongs
