Dark Witch (The Cousins O'Dwyer Trilogy, #1) in SOS: Serious Overload of Series

OMG - I did not think the day would come when I have a DNF on a Nora Roberts book !!!!!!!!!!

How the hell did this happen???????? Maybe because the heroine Iona was the most annoying lead that I have ever, ever read & that is saying a lot. I wished & hoped that Branna really would have smacked her as every other start to a sentence began with " I'm sorry...". I hated Iona, I could not connect with her.

I think I liked the whole overall story more than the actual romance. I didn't really get Iona & Boyle's connection. It seemed to go where ever the plot needed it to go.

Shelves: paranormal, romance, magic, kindle

All of Robert's paranormal trilogies are pretty formulaic, but it is a good formula which leads to an enjoyable book.

What I enjoyed:
* Iona was an interesting character who just jumped into life and anything that interested her
* The animal companions and horses in general
* The description of Ireland, I so want to visit after reading this
* The prologue story of Sorcha

What could have been better:
* Very formulaic - I knew who would be couples and what book they would be featured in after meeting the ...more
