A review by jackirenee
Morrigan's Cross by Nora Roberts
3.0
Hoyt, a sorcerer from twelth century Ireland, finds himself pitted against the vampire queen Lilith when she claims his twin brother Cian. Charged by the goddess Morrigan to bring together a witch, a scholar, a warrior, a shape-changer, and the one he has lost, in order to take down Lilith and her plan to destroy the worlds, Hoyt finds not only his lost brother, but an unexpected love in the twenty-first century.
Roberts,is of course, better known for her women's fiction and her talent in that area is clear in Morrigan's Cross. Love and passion play a major role in this story, although I often skimmed past the sex scenes just to get back to the meat of the story.
The storyline and many of the characters were predictable, especially Hoyt and Glenna's relationship. Much of what is to come can already be found in this first book. I mean, 3 men and 3 women on a team, seems pretty likely that there will be a few more hook ups.
I did enjoy the different mythological references, with Morrigan and Lilith being key players. Of course, this is not the only story to link Morrigan with vampires, and I think the Cin Craven books do it a bit better. Nonetheless, this story was a quick read, and a great one for a bit of weekend relaxation.
