Love love love Blair and Larkin!! :) So great together!!

Ah, Blair and Larkin... What fun!

This book is pretty fabulous! Blair has some serious issues (thanks to her terrible father), and Larkin is so incredibly perfect for her, it's unbelievable. Blair is a seriously kick-ass character — the perfect example of a powerful woman, and Larkin is... funny and sexy and just all-around fabulous... I loved reading, once again, about how they fall in love... :) (

I have been a Nora Roberts fan for quite some time now, but I must say I find this series to be disappointing. I haven't read the last book in the series yet, but I feel as if these first two books are just dragging their literary feet in order to fill up 600 pages before the big battle at Samhain, or whatever. It's dull to read 600 pages in which nothing really exciting happens. Yes, there's a skirmish here and there, but there's nothing exciting to keep me going because, well, we all know Roberts won't kill of anyone in the circle of 6. We also all know that the protagonists will get over their psychological baggage and whatnot during the course of the book and end up with each other. Yaawn. I am slightly looking forward to the third book because Cian and Moira will finally get it on. Now that's an interesting conflict. The first two of the trilogy, so far, are so so. (

Pretty good paranormal. But not my favorite genre of Roberts' work. Very out there. Fantasy plus some romance. (

Maybe Nora Roberts isn't the first things that comes to mind when you think of the horror/fantasy genre but you'd be surprised by this series. So far so good, the momentum is consistent and the fact that this series is just a trilogy is another plus factor. (

When the sun dipped low in the sky, dripping the last of its fire, the children huddled together to hear the next part of the tale. (prologue)

Through the house, still as a grave, Larkin limped. (chapter one)

Book description

Blair Murphy has always worked alone. Destined to be a demon hunter in a world that doesn't believe in such things, she lives for the kill. But now, she finds herself the warrior in a circle of six, chosen by the goddess Morrigan to defeat the vampire Lilith and her minions. Learning to trust the others has been hard, for Blair has never allowed herself such a luxury. But she finds herself drawn to Larkin, a man of many shapes. As a horse, he is proud and graceful; as a dragon, beautifully fierce; and as a man... well, Blair has seen her share of hunks, but none quite so ruggedly handsome and playfully charming as this nobleman from the past. In two months' time, the circle of six will face Lilith and her army in Geall. To complete preparations and round up forces to fight, the circle travels through time to Larkin's world, where Blair must choose between battling her overwhelming attraction to him—or risking everything for a love that can never be...
