Nervous but Pleased.
I was a bit nervous when I first started reading this book, not sure why, maybe because of the end of the world scenario, but being Nora Roberts I kept reading. Extremely pleased that I did. She never fails to balance the heartache, suspense, intrigue and hope in her stories. Thoroughly Pleased.

My first Nora Roberts, so I had no real expectations going in. Honestly it's not a 4 star book in terms of overall quality, but it was such an easy and enjoyable read, which is what I needed at the moment.
Here's the deal: the characters are literally all either totally good beyond belief or absolutely evil, and the story is completely straightforward. There's not a lot of subtlety here and it is a bit lightweight overall.
That said, I didn't care much, and the story has a nice, quick page turning pace that doesn't require much from the reader other than to sit back and enjoy it. Which I did.

Interesting story, well written. A bit to religious for me this Day. Still a good read.
Ugh. The male characters all sounds exactly the same, excepting one that has an accent. There's no personality. I'm also pretty annoyed this plot went so quickly to "Americans have to figure out how to survive without shopping". How dreary and boring.
The book starts out well, but after some time the cringe-worthy dialogues and descriptions about the cuteness of babies gain the upper hand. At some points I was not sure if I was reading a fantasy book or some shallow family story.
