Publisher's summary

When Nell Channing arrives on charming Three Sisters Island, she believes that she's finally found refuge from her abusive husband - and from the terrifying life she fled so desperately eight months ago.

But even in this quiet, peaceful place, Nell never feels entirely at ease. Careful to conceal her true identity, she takes a job as a cook at the local bookstore café - and begins to explore her feelings for the island sheriff, Zack Todd.

But there is a part of herself she can never reveal to him - for she must continue to guard her secrets if she wants to keep the past at bay. One careless word, one misplaced confidence, and the new life she's so carefully created could shatter completely.

Just as Nell starts to wonder if she'll ever be able to break free of her fear, she realizes that the island suffers from a terrible curse - one that can only be broken by the descendants of the Three Sisters, the witches who settled the island back in 1692.

Now, with the help of two other strong, gifted women - and the nightmares of the past haunting her every step - she must find the power to save her home, her love...and herself.

Critic reviews

"Once again, Roberts proves that she's a top-notch romance writer. This enchanting and empowering tale is...terrifically entertaining." ( Booklist)
"A magnetic hero, a heroine who finds herself, and some memorable secondary characters weave a mesmerizing tale of witchcraft and magic." ( Library Journal)

Yes, please!

I love this book, I've probably listened to it about 6 times or more. It is my favorite to come back to and listen too. If you're looking for something that's a steady pace, a good story and something that will keep your attention this is definitely that book.

Love

I loved this book so much when I read it in just had to listen to it again and again. I loved the other books too. It’s a must listen to. I love the witches and their stories. I see myself in Nell. I’ve been in her situation once before but not the same thing as with Zach. It took me years to meet my husband. This book is the greatest!!

Magic, romance and sisterhood.

One of my favorite series by Nora Roberts. I enjoy her writing because it flows well. She doesn’t drone on and on about a characters feelings and then repeat those feelings every other paragraph. Each chapter moves the story forward nicely and the characters develop well and stay true to the story. Great for anyone looking for a fast light read that’s got the bonds of spiritual sisterhood with all that magical vibe.

One of my all time favorite trilogies

Nora Roberts is my favorite author and Three Sisters Island is my favorite trilogy. The reader does a great job with the narrative and with Nell but she ruins the romance with Zachary with her creepy voice.

really good

this is the first book i have listened to that has a female for the reader and i was a little uncertain at first but WOW was i mistaken she is amazing

My favorite Nora Roberts story

I've read a number of Nora Roberts' books. This book and 'Northern Lights' are my two favorites. I also read the next two books in the series, although this one is still my favorite of the 3. Solid narration that clearly (and consistently) differentiates the voices of the female characters that dominate the story.

Excellence once again from Nora Roberts.

once again her story shines and I can't wait for the book(s). I hope she hurries!

Great!

Everything about it was great! The story takes you in. The teller did voices which was Great to indicate each character.
