Enjoyed the story of the book, but 1 point I want to talk about, Shifting narrators, this series has been told purely via 1 persons perspective. Now in the 5th book we have shifted to 4+ narrators. This was really jarring to me as I feel like the author has decided to make this book more of a writing challenge for herself by trying to consider others thoughts. Most of the vampire whose perspective we see seem to all be very modern in thought and all seem to be the same vampire but with different

Wow- best book of the series so far.
So much is changing and it's changing fast for Persephone.
Johnny has become the Domn Lup, Menessos is under attack by the vampire council who worry that Persephone is in control of him, and Persephone is the Lustrata and struggling with everything that means while still dealing with her mundane life and family.

**4.5 stars**
Several things are starting to come to a head in this installment of the series. Johnny's powers have been unlocked and he's become the Domn Lup and those two things are causing him to have a major inner power struggle. News has gotten to the Excelsior that Menessos has been twice marked by Persephone and they are sending the Shabbubitum to find out the truth. And Persephone is still trying to deal with everything ... her powers, her mother, Menessos and Johnny.

I really enjoyed this 5th book in the Persephone Alcmedi series. I love the writing, the world-building, the characters and the plot (although this was less action filled than some of the previous books, it certainly advanced the story-line). So why not 5 stars. Two reasons. Everything told from Persephone's perspective was first person, but sometimes we got the story from some of the other characters perspectives and it was 3rd person. I got really confused sometimes by the switches, altho

First off I want to say how much I love this Urban Fantasy series and this book was no exception. There are three main characters in this series so there is a bit of a love triangle going on. Persephone or Seph for short is a witch, or to be more precise the Lustrata (big powerful sorceress). Then there is her gorgeous ex rock star waerewolf boyfriend Johnny who also happens to be the Dom Lupp (leader of all waeres). Finally we have Menessos who is one of the original vampires and who is now

Linda Robertson's latest, Wicked Circle, picks up where we left off with Seph and her many troubles! That poor girl has is tough and it only gets tougher. In the beginning she's dealing with a magical ceremony with her grandmother and mother, when things go awry nearly right away. And trouble is soon to follow when she is summoned back home to help Menessos out. Which is where the bulk of the story lies.

Seph and her grandmother are still staying with and taking care of her mother when she gets a call saying she needs to come back because a large problem is coming right to Menossos' doorstep which of course includes Seph. His first stop home is to see Johnny but she notices that along with his newfound power and mantle has come some changes that are not so great, in general and for their relationship. When she goes home she is appointed some new guards and gets some supposed help from a mysterio

This is a great series!! It is one of my favorite "witchy" book series. The storyline always wraps me around its finger and holds on to me until the book is over. There wasn't a lot of action like there is in the other books in the series, WICKED CIRCLE was more about information than anything else. There is a little bit of danger but not on the scale that other installments brought. We get new shocking details about Johnny's past, Seph re-evaluates her relationships. Characters do so

(This isn't super spoiler-ish, but I do talk a little about some of the developments in the book, and even keeping it vague, it is a bit of a giveaway of how things turn out, so screw it, putting the whole thing in spoiler tags. Read at your own risk.)

This one was a little bit disappointing to me. To be clear, though, I still like the series. But there were some choices made in the book that didn't work well for me.

Favorite Line: “He had held me all the way here, and ushered me quickly to my rooms so I could shower and change–two things I’d been eager to do.” (p. 411)
Things are definitely changing in Seph, Johnny and Menessos’ lives. By the final page turn of the book I wondered where the author was taking the story. Everything had changed and it felt like little was resolved. Thoughts, emotions and lifestyles were all thrown for a loop. I want to know though, so I’ll be sticking it out.

I don't know what it is about this book, but it seemed to be missing things for me. Part of it might be that I really missed Demeter and Beverly, who weren't around alot, another part is because our 3 lead characters seemed to be on their own in this one.
I liked that Johnny finally learned about his past, and I have to say that I was surprised by quite a bit of it. It will make a big difference in his future and for this reason alone I wonder about his relationship with Seph. Ther More...

I'am in love with this author, and this book was no exception. For anyone that likes the paranormal with a touch of romance that gets hot and steamy as the books go on, well this is one I would recommend. The whole series is very well thought out and even the secondary characters seem so real that they breathe. I get so sucked into the way she writes that it's like she's painted a picture or shot a movie for me. Its also not so over explained that I can't use my own imagination which is great ca

Generic Urban Fantasy with little to distinguish it from all the rest. Too much artificial relationship tension that feels like it has been manufactured to draw out the series. The whole witch, vampire, wolf-king love triangle is so over-used and does not in any way make for interesting reading. It even ends on a "Days of Our Lives" relationship cliff-hanger. Blah.

I love this series, but I think this book was my least favorite. It was a good story and I do like how the events are unfolding but it just didn't wow me like the other books. I am looking forward to the next book to see how everything plays out with Persephone, Messenos and Johnny.

I would have given the book 5 stars if not for the plot/character jumping. Although I can understand why the author decided write in third person this time, I really hate reading through one character as the suspense builds up, and then being cut off to switch to someone else. Then it's rinse and repeat.
However, overall I liked this book better than the last. Definitely see a different side to Menessos instead of the typical manipulative bastard. Seph and Johnny's relationship More...

Love this series. Love the characters. Most books I do not like when the switch characters point of view. Based on that fact I had some trouble totally falling in love with the book. But I understand her purpose since there was us just so much going on.

I didn't enjoy this one quite as much as some of the previous books. For one, I didn't like the jumping between Persephone's pov to a random third person pov.
Plot-wise, it felt like Persephone and Johnny's relationship was left hanging on an odd note. They both learned things about themselves separately, but their together time in this book was just ... off. I did really enjoy learning more about Johnny. Nice twist.

I liked it but I didn't like the POV changes. It made the book more choppy and didn't flow as well. So I'm knocking it down to 3.5 stars for that.

This is my least favorite book in the series. Perspephone seems to go from challenge to challenge without much reprieve. It ends with
too many issues unresolved.

I love this series, but this was not my favorite at all. I found myself reading it just to finish it. It didn't really get good for me until the very end and then only with Johnny. I will definetly read the next one though. I just thought it was missing the character interaction of the previous ones, and I have never liked the character of Menessos.

Oh, Linda Robertson, you naughty minx! I love this series. I look forward to the new book coming out every year. These characters breathe through the pages and the situations that Linda puts them in. I adore them all, even the evil characters. This is just a fun world and a great read. I look forward to our next 400 page adventure next year, December 2012 can not come soon enough.

I like series novels. I like this particular series. But I don't like this type of installment that inevitably shows up in a series: the filler. I dislike spending money on build up with no pay off. This novel is all setup and at the end of it, nothing at all is resolved and that irks me and that leads to me requiring a huge payoff in the followup novel.
