Not as good as it could have been...

Speaking as someone who prefers Nora Roberts when she writes as J.D.Robb - I thought the story was fine but it didn't leave me with a burning need to go out and get the second book.

Part of this might be down to the fact that it's the first in a trilogy, so the story has a lot to do - we need to be introduced to the characters, to the world they live in and the circumstances they find themselves. I thought the set-up was interesting and the circle of 6 a clever idea. I very much liked the poetry of it - (the sorcerer), "the witch, the warrior, the scholar, the one of many forms and the one you've lost". However, I found the characters (with the exception of Cian) didn't hold my interest. One of the problems with an ensemble cast, is that some characters are neglected.

There are moments where the dialogue sparkles - Cian especially, has an acerbic wit. And some of the set pieces are beautifully written, for example - Glenna's arrival at the club and her first (proper) meeting with Cian, Hoyt and King.

In the second half of the book following Blair's arrival there are scenes reminiscent of what the group already experienced in the first half before she turned up. I ended up with the feeling that the characters should have learnt these lessons already.

If this had been the first paranormal romance I'd ever read I think I would have been impressed with the world building and story structure, though the characters would still have left me slightly disappointed.

Neat Series

I love that this book was so reasonably priced on Amazon! The story was better than others I have read in the same genre. Anyway, decent story, good price. What more can a person ask for?

Nora Roberts Can Write Just About Anything!!!

I enjoy the J.D. Robb series a lot, so I knew that I would have to try this series as well. And I'm glad I did. I love her style of writing, the charactors, the paranormal/vampire genre and how she puts it all together.
This is a GREAT READ -- highly recommended!!!

Bland Vacation Book

I told my friend at work I was going on vacation & needed a new book to read. She handed me this one & said it was one of the best books she had ever read. She & I must have very different taste in books because it was a chore for me.

I liked parts of it but most of it I really couldn't care less what was happening to whom. The beginning & ending really stink and again I had to force myself to read the middle.

Excellent story

I can't wait to read the rest of this series. Roberts does a wonderful job of pulling the reader in and keeping their attention. A softly blended story of romance and drama that will keep you until the end.
