Publisher's summary

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts comes a trilogy about the land we’re drawn to, the family we learn to cherish, and the people we long to love...

Book One of The Cousins O’Dwyer Trilogy

Dark Witch

With indifferent parents, Iona Sheehan grew up craving devotion and acceptance. From her maternal grandmother, she learned where to find both: a land of lush forests, dazzling lakes, and centuries-old legends.

Ireland. County Mayo, to be exact. Where her ancestors’ blood and magic have flowed through generations - and where her destiny awaits.

Iona arrives in Ireland with nothing but her Nan’s directions, an unfailingly optimistic attitude, and an innate talent with horses. Not far from the luxurious castle where she is spending a week, she finds her cousins, Branna and Connor O’Dwyer. And since family is family, they invite her into their home and their lives. When Iona lands a job at the local stables, she meets the owner, Boyle McGrath. Cowboy, pirate, wild tribal horsemen, he’s three of her biggest fantasy weaknesses all in one big, bold package.

Iona realizes that here she can make a home for herself - and live her life as she wants, even if that means falling head over heels for Boyle. But nothing is as it seems. An ancient evil has wound its way around Iona’s family tree and must be defeated. Family and friends will fight with each other and for each other to keep the promise of hope - and love - alive...

performance needed work

the narrators accent for the American character would mush into the other accents and would make it difficult to differentiate which character was speaking.

Too bad narrator wasn’t better

Story was decent but the narrating took away from it because she sounded like a sort of evil fairy tale witch half the time.

I tried, but I just can't

I really enjoyed the storyline
and the writing is smart. I just couldn't listen to the narrator anymore. it was becoming painful. she was over dramatic at odd times. my brain hurts.

Wanted to stop so many times…

But I love Nora Roberts. This is the first time one of her books leaves me unsatisfied.

Story was good, performance was painful

The yelling and dramatics were hard to listen to. I agree it was distracting. I also had a hard time imagining the women were all in their twenties as they sounded very old.

One thing I don't like about Robert's writing is that the sex scenes are sometimes over the top and she ALWAYS has to repeat words three times for emphasis when I think it can be accomplished by other means. It happens in every book I have listened to.

Good Book

Good base for a story line. Good character development however; I would have liked a little more into the beginnings and whys of our main heroines departure from home.

Good story

The story is a good beginning to a PNR trilogy, but the narrator was not good.
