Valley of Silence by Nora Roberts - 3rd Book of Circle Trilogy

Mortification Scale: 4 Tomato Faces

          • 2 TFs for reading a romance novel
          • 3rd for a paranormal romance novel
          • 4th for being a trilogy
Mitigating Factors:
          • The hero is a vampire
          • The whole thing is a lot of fun
Synopsis:



This book picks up where Dance of the Gods left off, thus explaining why it's a trilogy. :) The group of 6 is now formed of 2 sets of couples, a crown princess from another world, and an Irish vampire. Moira, the crown princess brings her friends home to her world by traveling through a dance (stone circle) from Ireland. There, she becomes queen of Geall, seduces Cian (the vampire), and leads her medieval, pastoral country to war against the invading demon army. It's a very busy book.

Again, something that should be unreadable somehow works in a very satisfying way. I wouldn't try this book as a stand-alone, but it is a great wrap-up of the series. In fact, the final scene is one of those, 50 years later....type of scenes. Good stuff!
