It is now cousin Branna O'Dwyer's turn to take center stage in the conclusion to the trilogy. She ought to be happy with her lot, but she is in love with a man who is descended from dark magician Cabhan so surely their happiness together is impossible. Previously they have tried to be together, but it does not seem to be meant to be. But maybe with the help of her cousins and their soulmates the sextet might be able to prevail over their ancient nemesis.…

I am not normally a fan of paranormal romances but make an exception for Nora Roberts' work. The characters are grounded in the real world with its problems and joys, she excels at pure romance and in mixing it all up with a supernatural theme. Don't read this series expecting something new and different, as it is not dissimilar to her earlier paranormal series with ancient curses, witches and spells but if you are a fan of her work it ought to appeal. All the elements are there and I loved her lyrical descriptions of Ireland, a feature of all the books in this set. She takes time for the reader to really get to know the characters so you can root for them and this makes the pages fly. Her villain has far less dimension, but exists so there is an evil to be battled and there is quite a lot of that in this book. To say more would involve plot spoilers and this is one series that has to be read in order. I look forward to whatever Ms Roberts comes up with next.
