Wonderful

I didn't know if I would like it because of the vampire thing but once I started it I didn't want to put it down. I couldn't wait until I read the other 2 to find out what happens. Excellent book.

Morrigan's Cross

A very typical Nora Roberts. It was predictable, yet set in a time warp from today to somewhere between the 12th and 16th century. She also had an unusual take on vampires - good and evil vampires. Witches and shape-shifters were also included.

Morrigan's Cross

Our story starts back in the 12th century in Ireland following the disappearance of twin. The surviving twin Hoyt Mac Cionaoith is visited by the goddess Morrigan and tells him that he is charge of the supreme task of saving his world and future worlds from being destoryed by a beautiful but evil vampire named Lilith.

Hoyt the sorcerers journey now begins. He must travel through time to find 5 more to help him with this task that Morrigan has set for him. He enters our modern day world and finds his brother who is now a vampire. Will his brother help him? Then there is Glenna Ward, a modern day witch, who he is attacted to. We find romance blooming with Hoyt and Glenna.

They have just three months to not only survive Lilith's tricks and attacks but to train and prepare for a war of all wars.

A must read. This book is the first of three. It is full of romance, sparing, suspense, and a lot of magic.

A great fantasy series

I just finished listening to the Circle Trilogy of which "Morrigan's Cross" is the first book. I don't write reviews on all books I read, but felt compelled to do so for this series. I have been a Nora Roberts/JD Robb fan for several years and have read most of her publishings. I was actually hesitant to read this series because I had read comments that it was so "dark". But I put my trust in my appreciation of Nora Roberts, and I am very glad that I decided to read the series. I didn't find it to be as "dark" as I anticipated; the story is basically "good against evil", and not as dark as some thrillers I've read. True to Nora's storytelling, the underlying romance in each book brings valuable payback for the Nora fan. There was also enough "action" that even my husband enjoyed listening to it. I felt Dick Hill did a fabulous narration performance, with the Gaelic accents and inflections. Though the "ups and downs" of voice sometimes makes it necessary to adjust the volume, it's necessary to the story. The culmination and action in the final battle in Book #3 is well written, and my husband, who reads a lot of action stories, said he'd even rate it a "7". Book #3 will bring rewards, but I was not bored with the story escalating through Books #1 and #2. Nora again shines as she builds the characters through a series, and helps us to "fall in love" with them. And it's been a long time since the final ending of a story has brought me to tears! Well done, Nora! And thanks again for continuing to provide us with very enjoyable "escapes".
