Urf.
I needed a quick book to read/listen to for a challenge, and this one was the winner. And it was urf.
I'm not a HUGE Nora Roberts fan, but I've read and enjoyed her stuff in the past. But this one just didn't do much for me. The characters were...interesting. I didn't hate Iona as much as a lot of other reviewers, but she was such.... she said everything she was thinking and feeling instead of letting the author show it through actions. It felt like Iona was an infodump factory for the reade ...more

Maybe I've outgrown her writing, because I use to really enjoy Nora Roberts books about 10 years ago. They are all easy reads, but this one I would rate only 2.5 if I could. I lean towards 3 stars because it did make me laugh quite a bit and it takes place in Ireland which is enchanting. I didn't like Iona, the female lead, at all. And the touch of witchcraft in the story bordered on stupid. I must have gotten spoiled by better stories about witches learning their talents like A Discovery of Wit

Probably closer to 2.5 stars. I liked the idea of this but there were lots of elements that felt under developed or rushed to me. However, it was a really quick, easy read and I am interested in seeing where the story goes, so I will very likely continue with the series.
It took a while of me to get into it. Then finally I found the rhythm.
I know I read this previously but I didn't really remember how things worked out.
Still giving it 3 stars. ...more

Totally predictable and silly but entertaining enough.
