 Heaven knows I love an old-school Nora Roberts, and this one starts out strong as the first in a trilogy. Hoyt tries to save his twin brother Cian from the evil vampire Lilith, gets roped into a war against demons by the goddess Morrigan, and travels through time to meet up with his now 1,000 year old vampire brother and the hottie witch who visited him in a dream. Most of the book is them getting to know each other and their new friends also recruited by Morrigan, and Hoyt and witch Glenna making out in the castle where they are training.
I wish the one Black character wasn't immediately killed (although I should have anticipated it since there are never people of color in Nora's stories)
. I am also sure the next two books will be about other couples and am not sure yet who that will be (although Cian spent a lot of time looking at the queen, Moira, who showed up from an alternate universe). Stay tuned.
