Dance of the Gods by Nora Roberts - Book 2 Circle Trilogy

Mortification Scale: 4 Tomato Faces

          • 2 TFs for reading a romance novel
          • 3rd for being a paranormal romance novel
          • 4th for being a trilogy
Mitigating Factors:
          • Nora Roberts is an excellent writer
          • The heroine kicks ass!
          • It has some Celtic history (very very little)

Synopsis:

I didn't read the first book in the trilogy, Morrigan's Cross, because my library only had books 2 & 3, and I didn't feel like paying for this particular story line. However, I had no problem jumping right into the plot. On the west coast of Ireland, there is a group of people who are fighting demon vampires to save our world and all other worlds in the universe. This group is composed of 3 men and 3 women. Hmm, I wonder what will happen. So far, the witch and the time-travelling warlock have already hooked up and a large battle was fought. Now, it is time to focus on Blair, a Buffy-life demon slayer, and Larkin, a shape changing prince from another world.

Oddly enough, they find true love while overcoming seemingly unbeatable odds. The plot is straight out of Romance 101, and the paranormal bits are achingly unbelievable, but it still manages to be an excellent read. I love Nora Roberts! Of course, I blush to recommend this book to anyone. :)
