adventurous challenging dark emotional mysterious tense medium-paced

Plot- or character-driven? A mix
Strong character development? It's complicated
Loveable characters? It's complicated
Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I know I've said it before, but I love Nora Roberts' trilogies, and this no exception! The only reason I gave 4 instead of 5 stars is because some of the dialogue is a little forced. The characters in this series are a hodgepodge group come together with same goal of saving the world. In this book the reader meets the characters and the reason they are together. I can't wait to start the second book!

2.5 stars. It was ok, but I couldn't care about the characters like I normally do in a good book. Trying the second, but I have low expectations

My first Nora Roberts book! Only 224 left to go! :,-)

A friend is really into Nora Roberts and we were talking books, so I got lured into borrowing this one by the promise of vampires + fantasy and a sprinkle of romance.

The story is really straightforward, basically an evil vampire queen is gonna wage an apocalyptic war against humanity and only the circle of six chosen by this goddess, Morrigan, can save the world. Helpfully, the goddess tells each character exactly where to go and when.

It's an easy read, and that's a good thing, but it's not what I'm into? But, it was kind of fun because it was so silly that I enjoyed being like, "oh, of course"...like when the badass vampire hunter character shows up, she's wearing a black leather jacket and there's literal lightening behind her.

Or when the cool NYC witch and her 12th century time traveling Irish sorcerer lover get married (after only two romantic rendezvous in which their ~love~ conjured rose petals)... whoops spoilers...
Anyways, the witch goes online shopping for wedding dresses and then *does a rhyming spell* so she can try on the dresses irl.

So, it's a big ball of cheese and plays loosey goosey with world building and making any magic rules, but that's okay - it's October and I'm glad I read it during spooooooky szn ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
