waaaaw... this book is like nothing else i have ever read. I read it in one day.... and i could not put it away... it was so mesmerising and thrilling and sad and beautiful... A love story like no other.

i recommend this book to every romance freak and book enthusiast who believes that good will prevail and that love is the answer for everything... if you only believe it.

Thank you Nora Roberts for this beautiful story... it has become one of my favourite.

Ah. Such a great ending to an awesome trilogy! The only thing keeping it from 5 stars is the main female character, Moira. Each book concentrated on one of 3 couples, but I admired the other female characters much more. I don't think she seemed as real as they did. Still, I enjoyed the action in this culminating story. And I loved the addition of dragons (continued from the 2nd book).

Valley of Silence is book 3 of Circle Trilogy by Nora Roberts. This book is my favorite and the conclusion are well done. The ending kinda easily predicted, but if everybody happy in the end, why readers must complain? *grin*

To read Valley of Silence, readers must read 2 previous books, [b:Morrigan's Cross|26046|Morrigan's Cross (Circle Trilogy, #1)|Nora Roberts|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1309200639s/26046.jpg|668492] and [b:Dance of the Gods|31313|Dance of the Gods (Circle trilogy #2)|Nora Roberts|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1309200785s/31313.jpg|1702757]. The story is about 6 people who must defeat Lilith, the Queen of The Vampire, so she can't reign over mortal and Gods world, with blessing from The Morrigan, one of Celtic goddess. They're Hoyt MacCionaith, the sorcerer from Ireland's 12th century who transfer to the present era, his long dead twin, Cian MacCionaith who now become a vampire, the lost soul. Then there is Glenna Ward, the witch and Hoyt's lover. Blair Murphy, the demon hunter, a descendant from Hoyt and Cian's sister.And the last 2 people from Geall Kingdom, human last hope to fight against Lilith, Larkin Riddock,the shape shifter and his cousin, Moira, the future Queen of Geall.

Valley of The Silence as the last book of Circle Trilogy, is about Cian and Moira. Cian who was sired by Lilith herself decide to get rid of the vampire queen for eternity and help Moira defend Geall, then prepare for the last battle. I love this couple, and wow, Cian is hotter that his twin, Hoyt. While Hoyt kinda naive and strict, Cian has a "bad boy" vibe. But, maybe its because his past is so hard and he had lost so many people that he love.

The Circle trilogy is an enjoyable read from Nora Robert and show her class. Nora Roberts again using Irish and Celt myth then add vampire on the mix. Her writing is easily to understand rather than her J.D.Robb's books, but both have their unique style. I'm not read other Nora Roberts paranormal trilogy yet, but Circle Trilogy is my favorite and always will be =)

My favourite in the trilogy: great ending, great main characters (loove Cian!) and the villain's story is ever more interesting. A fast, fun read!

If your a Nora Robert's fan, that of course you must have this book. But otherwise, I expected a lot more from this trilogy. Everything of course, fits together so well, and the 3 male characters are paired up with the 3 female characters, a la another trilogy of hers, The Keys series.

I'm finally done with this series. The book were all slow and drawn out. The ending was actually surprisingly good, but I'm not sure that it was worth slogging through the whole story just to get to it.

Okay this isn't really a review but an excuse... I had to give up this book 42% of the way through. It's not the book, it's me. See I'm a mood reader and sometimes I will literally attach my feelings to a book. As I was reading, Russia invaded Ukraine. I couldn't get it out of my mind but yet I kept trying to read. (I should have just set down the book.) I got depressed, anxious and attached my feelings onto this book. So I'm shelving the book and moving on.

This book would have been a 4 or 5 star read so please don't let me review steer you away from this one. Nora writes engaging and complex characters with great pacing and plotting.
