Blood Magick by Nora Roberts |Book Review

Jun. 17, 2021


Blood Magick by Nora Roberts |Book Reviewfive-stars
Blood Magick by Nora Roberts
Series: The Cousins O’Dwyer Trilogy #3
Genres: Paranormal Romance

County Mayo is rich in the traditions of Ireland, legends that Branna O’Dwyer fully embraces in her life and in her work as the proprietor of The Dark Witch shop, which carries soaps, lotions, and candles for tourists, made with Branna’s special touch.

Branna’s strength and selflessness hold together a close circle of friends and family—along with their horses and hawks and her beloved hound. But there’s a single missing link in the chain of her life: love…

She had it once—for a moment—with Finbar Burke, but a shared future is forbidden by history and blood. Which is why Fin has spent his life traveling the world to fill the abyss left in him by Branna, focusing on work rather than passion.

Branna and Fin’s relationship offers them both comfort and torment. And though they succumb to the heat between them, there can be no promises for tomorrow. A storm of shadows threatens everything that their circle holds dear. It will be Fin’s power, loyalty, and heart that will make all the difference in an age-old battle between the bonds that hold their friends together and the evil that has haunted their families for centuries.

We come to the end of this series and I must say there was so much emotion in this book. There were several times I wanted to cry. Here we have Branna and Finbar fighting with the others to end Cabhan. Branna and Fin history together and have loved one another for years. They don’t think they can be together because Fin bears Cabhan’s mark. That mark has brought a lot of pain, grief, and years apart. This book takes us on such a ride.

The one thing I wasn’t crazy about was the end. I felt that it just ended. After everything we have been through with these people I would have liked to gotten an epilogue or something with look in the future. Just something, for me it felt incomplete. Some closure was missing. I would have loved to know that Sorcha found her Daithi again in the great beyond. Their love was so strong and that leads me to the one other thing.


As I’ve said before I would love to have stories of the first three and their love stories. Possibly even more of Sorcha and Daithi. For the few things that bothered me I loved this book and hated coming to the end of this series. One thing this series has proved is that love is the strongest magic there is.

five-stars

    I love a good series but usually wait for all the books to be complete and I agree most books should have an epilogue just makes things complete for me.

    One thing I cannot deal with..is when a series ends oddly. If I am not satisfied with the ending it drives me absolutely insane. I can’t help it. I will start obsessing over why it ended the way it did and what could have happened to make things different.
    I know this sounds crazy but after I’ve invested myself in a series..love the characters..I want things to work out a certain way lol. I love and trust Nora though so I am definitely reading this series!

Jess
My life is pretty perfect—on paper. I had a string of platinum albums and number one songs all before I hit my twenty-fourth birthday. I’ve got fame and more money than I’ll ever be able to spend. What they say about fame is true: it's lonely up here at the top. The clichés I sing about are true too: all I want is someone who sees the real me and loves me despite all the drama. Then I meet a guy who seems to step right out of my fantasies—grumpy, husky single-dad cowboy—but he won’t even give me the time of day.

Grady

Nothing in my life has ever gone the way I planned. I unexpectedly became a father at seventeen. Before my daughter turned two her mom walked out on us both. The last thing I need is some glitter-soaked pop princess filming a music video on my land and putting stars in my daughter’s eyes. Everything I do, I do for my kid, but Jess makes me want something for myself. Can I risk another woman breaking our hearts?

Canyon “Blitz” Madsen didn’t believe in mercy. When the Redline Kings MC secretary learned one of his prospects was an undercover fed, he planned to seduce the agent’s innocent younger sister as revenge. But he ultimately decided it was a line he wouldn’t cross. 

Then he met Aubrey Cullen and knew leaving her alone wasn’t an option. One look at the sweet nanny, and Blitz was gone. Now caught between the secret that could destroy them and the fierce need to protect her, he’ll do anything to keep Aubrey safe—even working with the FBI brother he once wanted to destroy.

Rev is available in Kindle Unlimited! This ws such Rev is available in Kindle Unlimited! This ws such a good book!!

Soren “Rev” Halvorsen never lost control. Then a terrified blonde crashed into his bike on a dark road, and the Redline Kings captain decided she was his.

After barely escaping a serial killer, Delaney Crosswell felt like the world was unsafe. Except for when she was in Rev’s arms. She knew that danger was a part of the motorcycle club, but the sexy biker quickly proved he’d burn the world down before letting anything touch her.
