Dance of the Gods

Circle Trilogy, Book 2

By: Nora Roberts

Narrated by: Dick Hill

Length: 10 hrs and 18 mins

Publisher's summary

Raised in a family of demon hunters, Blair Murphy has her own personal demons to fight: the father who trained, then abandoned her, and the fiancé who walked out on her after learning what she is.

Now she finds herself training a sorcerer from 12th century Ireland, a witch from modern day New York, a scholar and a shape changer from the mythical land of Geall. All that while trying to keep herself from staking the sixth of their circle and host: a vampire sired by Lilith, the vampire queen they've been charged with defeating on Samhain.

No stranger to butt-kicking, Blair finds herself taking a good whipping when it comes to that handsome and flirtatious Geallian, Larkin. And a couple of run-ins with Lilith's right-hand gal gives Blair more than she reckoned for, mentally and physically. But will she be able to stay afloat long enough to defeat Lilith's loyal in pre-battle bouts? Or will she find herself falling for the one thing she vowed never to give in to again? If the vampires don't do her in, Larkin is certainly up to the task.

Complete the circle: listen to all three books in Nora Roberts' Circle Trilogy, including Book 1, Morrigan's Cross, and Book 3, Valley of Silence.

Critic reviews

"Paranormal fans are assured a good time, as is anyone who enjoys captivating fiction." ( Publishers Weekly)
"Roberts' Celtic-flavored Circle trilogy features superbly crafted characters, three passionate romances, and a bewitching blend of magic and myth." ( Booklist)

That Accent

The story is great. I had read the book years ago and I had extra credits so I started listening to this trilogy. The accent that the narrator uses for Blair is horrendous! He makes her sound like a 1920's gangster that can't remember if they are from Boston or Chicago. Thankfully the story is engaging otherwise I would have shut it down!

Dick Hill is great!!

ive read this book but so enjoyable to listen to with Dick Hill's narration! Start with the first in the trilogy & listen to all 3!

Awful narration

I am a bid fan of Nora Robert’s. I finished this trilogy despite the narrator. He made the women sound insipid and the American women sound like “gangstas”. His men were stupidly macho and it was really annoying that he seemed to pronounce Samhain emphasizing the “m” which anyone worth their research into the world of enunciation of Wiccan lore knows is highly inaccurate. I almost didn’t finish the trilogy simply because of the narrator.

Because of this I just couldn’t justify giving the book any 5-star ratings.

One of the best trilogies I've read

Sooo good! Lived up to my expectations from the first book. Loved it! i
I can't wait to read the last one!

Loved it!!

Love the narration. Such emotion and authenticity. This narrator isn’t just reading, he’s telling a story.

Unexpectedly captivating

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

The book was from the start captivating, it pulled at your interest and tugged your curiosity to the point where you became anxious to find out what's next.

This book was the first one I read before I found out it was the second in a trilogy.

What other book might you compare Dance of the Gods to and why?

None! Its in a league all by itself. Not even the good books I've read really compare. It was just really good.

Which character – as performed by Dick Hill – was your favorite?

lol all of them, The variation was epic and not at all an unpleasant listen....Oh no Dick Hill nailed them all.

Any additional comments?

The books in this trilogy are worth the read/listen, all the details are in the right place to tug at the right emotion and will have you rooting for the characters before you know it. Honestly I have tons to say about the book but I dare you to read/listen for yourself and tell me what you think......Love these books

repeat a good book

Love it

Same as the first.What else can I say.I do really enjoy the story line...the narrator.

Enjoyable listen.

Great continuation of the story and good narration. His voice is pleasing to listen to. Love the trilogies. Enjoyable listening!

Good Story, but lags at times, and Hard to Hear

This was a good story, but it is slow at times, and the readers voice is so hard to hear and decipher at times that I really had to crank up the volume in my car, on my phone, etc.
