Dance of the Gods

Circle Trilogy, Book 2

By: Nora Roberts

Narrated by: Dick Hill

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.

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)

Very Good

What did you love best about Dance of the Gods?

Although this story was about Larkin and Blair, my favorite part was when Cian kissed Moira. How he all but pleaded with her to stop him before he claimed her mouth with his. Amazing!

What did you like best about this story?

I enjoyed how Larkin could shape shift. It was interesting to imagine him, soaring with Blair on his back in the form of a dragon, or running around the dark caves as a mouse.

What does Dick Hill bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He brought animation and feeling. My only problem is it seemed like the woman were more fussy than I imagined they would be. Whenever something distressing happened, the women always sounded like they were fighting back tears. He did it for Larkin once and made him sound almost desperate. I would have preferred a little less of that.

What a story!!

Love, vampires, dragons, and more!! This book was as good as the first. The entire trilogy was amazing. The narrator was perfect. He made the characters come alive and kept me glued. I must admit some of the vampire scenes were quite graphic, but I couldn’t stop listening. Nora’s battle scenes and love scenes were equally breathtaking. I didn’t want the story to end, but ahh... what an ending!! I listened to the last chapter of the last book at least three times! As soon as I finished book three I started over at the beginning and listened again. I wish it was a movie, but I know the movie would not compare

Great story.

i am going to get the next book right now. This story has my attention for sure.
