How I Got It: I own it!
As a storm rages, the tale of a powerful vampire's lust for destruction-and of the circle of six charged by the goddess Morrigan to stop her-begins. One of the chosen is a medieval sorcerer whose quest will take him through time-and into the arms of a woman courageous enough to link her destiny to his own.
One of those books that has sat on my shelves for way too long. A friend suggested I read this series about three years ago. Better late than never... I picked it up and couldn't put it down. It's an epic time travel paranormal romance action adventure fantasy all rolled into one. I assumed that Nora Roberts only wrote fluffy romances. This one is definitely not a fluffy romance. I premise is interesting: Lilith trying to take over the world. The settings are interesting: 12th century Ireland, Geall, modern NYC, and modern Ireland. But above everything else, I loved the characters. Glenna is easy to like. Hoyt has a great steady quality to him while his twin Cian has all the mystery and cunning. Moira is an awesome "little Queen," while her cousin Larkin is great all around guy. King lends some strength and Blair is the right mix of sassy and sweet. This is definitely a series I will be enjoying.
