About this book
Raised in a family of demon hunters, Blair Murphy has her own personal demons to fight: the father who trained, then abandoned her, and the fiancé who walked out on her after learning what she is. Now she finds herself training a sorcerer from 12th century Ireland, a witch from modern day New York, a scholar and a shape changer from the mythical land of Geall. All that while trying to keep herself from staking the sixth of their circle and host: a vampire sired by Lilith, the vampire queen they've been charged with defeating on Samhain.
No stranger to butt-kicking, Blair finds herself taking a good whipping when it comes to that handsome and flirtatious Geallian, Larkin. And a couple of run-ins with Lilith's right-hand gal gives Blair more than she reckoned for, mentally and physically. But will she be able to stay afloat long enough to defeat Lilith's loyal in pre-battle bouts? Or will she find herself falling for the one thing she vowed never to give in to again? If the vampires don't do her in, Larkin is certainly up to the task.

Moira must prepare for the chance that she will take up the sword from the stone and assume the mantle of Queen of Geall and the Circle of Six must train...

This trilogy is my favorite of all she has written. She is at the zenith of her writing skills, her heroines are all strong women, with men strong enough to stand at their sides. The character colorations are breathtakingly vivid. A delightful quest, a tale of what might be if you believe. An unlikely friendship from different worlds and times woven into an elegant tapestry. And a creative melding of 21st century technology with the middle ages. The plot is built around a quest and some romance...

I am definitely waiting with bated breath for the next book since Moira has a lot more than Glenna or Blair to overcome in her little romance. For some reason, I liked the first book in the trilogy better - maybe Glenna's just easier to relate to? This one's not bad, (and I did read it in the usual 24 hours), but it does move a little slower and there's not quite the same victorious feeling. In the first one, it was really fun seeing the circle of six get formed, get in shape to take on the...

Nora Robert’s did her usual delightful storytelling and immersed the reader into the worlds of vampires, witches, and sorcerers. There is just enough romance to appeal to many readers. )

I really loved this second book. I am about to start number three. I bet Cain and Moria are next. )
