Short description/summary of the book: (taken from amazon.com):
The first installment of Roberts's newest trilogy set on Three Sisters island invokes the sensitive characterizations and magic that distinguished her previous trilogy (Jewels of the Sun; Tears of the Moon; Heart of the Sea). An enchanted island off the coast of Massachusetts, Three Sisters was formed as a sanctuary by three frightened witches fleeing persecution. Although the witches found peace on the island, each of them entered into an ill-fated relationship and died tragically. Now their descendants Nell Channing, Ripley Todd and Mia Devlin have to break the pattern set by their foremothers, or the island will sink. This first book focuses on Nell, a newcomer to the island who escaped her abusive husband by staging her death. Nell is unaware that she's a witch, but she is instinctively drawn to the island and secures a job as a chef in the caf‚ owned by Mia. Between coping with her bleak memories and deciding whether she can give her heart to Zach Todd, Ripley's brother and the island sheriff, Nell has little time to digest the discovery that she's a witch. In the end, however, Nell will have to come to terms with her newfound powers so that she can fight her all-too-demented husband.
My Thoughts:
First book in the Three Sisters Island trilogy. I loved this the first time I read it, and loved it still this time (which would probably be the third or fourth time I've read it)! The characters are developed enough that you feel for them, and can't wait to read the next one to see what they end up doing or how they end up being developed more.
In Queue: The Summerhouse by Jude Devereaux, Heaven and Earth by Nora Roberts, Face the Fire by Nora Roberts, Shadow Dance by Julie Garwood, Dark Demon by Christine Feehan, Wild Orchids by Jude Devereaux, Kushiel's Chosen by Jacqueline Carey, and waiting oh-so-impatiently for both the new Harry Potter novel and For A Few Demons More by Kim Harrison (due out March 19th!)
