Going in, I wasn’t sure how I’d like this book, seeing as I’m not a huge fan of romances. But if it’s paranormal, you know I’ve gotta try it out! :P So I was pleasantly surprised that I liked it as much as I did. I found that Roberts’, who tends to be too overly descriptive and flowery in the romances of hers that I’ve read, didn’t annoy me so much here. Probably because those descriptions were instead directed towards a different outlet. These descriptions nicely portrayed the beautiful landscapes and hills of Ireland. And even New York city, while the characters were there for awhile… I felt as if I were able to see it from the point-of-view of a tourist visiting for the first time. :D

Overall, a fun read, and I’m looking forward to the next two in the trilogy, both of which are waiting here on Mt. TBR. :D

I would say that this book is closer to a fantasy then a romance novel. Nora Roberts is a solid story teller and this book while still focusing on a couple also tells a tale of Vampires and magic. I found it a solid enough read to dive into book two of the trilogy immediately. It is a fast read.
