An always enjoyable read-a little smut-just light enough to keep the good girls from feeling too bad-so I would imagine. Action, demons, heroes, alternate worlds-I'm hooked!

There's something calming in the redundancy of Nora Roberts novels: 6 people, 3 couples, magic, bad witch/vamp/sorcerer, usually Ireland.

Well... Honestly after all this "Twilight" mania I was sick and tired to see how people are obssessed in something which doesn't have any connection with vampires. But for my luck I got this book in my hands. I'm fan of Nora Roberts and I was kind a surprised about this one its so different for her style.
To be honest at the beginning maybe first 60 pages the book was a little bit boring and after this all come to the right place. I couldn't stop read, just couldn't. Vampires were vampires, got a magic and fairy creatures. Like one big fairy tale somehow remind me for Lord Of The Rings. And that vampire... Cian... well... it remind me for a character in my favorite tv show Supernatural and if I have to be fair this character won me. About Blear she is amazing I love women in action and she is just like this! So now I'll go to sleep and tomorrow going for the next time. For all which love stories for magic, vampires and sword battles this is the book!

On the one hand, I'm half curious how the story goes, what happens, and how. But I'm not curious enough to read the rest of the trilogy. Maybe I'd have enjoyed it when I was younger. Much younger. Hard to say.
I'll probably try a different NR story another time, to see if it's just this one that irks me in so many ways.
Gabaldon this is not.
Still I can see the potential for popular appeal... Handsome males, lovely females, fast cars, splendid horses, cute dialogue/dialect, pretty magic, fast moving story, sappy romance/sex, fast reading, nothing graphic.
