Nora Roberts
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts comes the second novel in a trilogy about the land we’re drawn to, the family we learn to cherish, and the people we long to love…Book Two of The Cousins O’Dwyer TrilogyShadow Spell With the legends and lore of Ireland running through his blood, falconer Connor O’Dwyer is proud to call County Mayo home. It’s where his sister, Branna, lives and works, where his cousin, Iona, has found true love, and where his childhood friends form a circle that can’t be broken. A circle that is about to be stretched out of shape—by a long-awaited kiss. Meara Quinn is Branna’s best friend, a sister in all but blood. Her and Connor’s paths cross almost daily, as Connor takes tourists on hawk walks and Meara guides them on horseback across the lush countryside. She has the eyes of a gypsy and the body of a goddess…things Connor has always taken for granted—until his brush with death propels them into a quick, hot tangle. Plenty of women have found their way to Connor’s bed, but none to his heart until now. Frustratingly, Meara is okay with just the heat, afraid to lose herself—and their friendship—to something more. But soon, Connor will see the full force and fury of what runs in his blood. And he will need his family and friends around him when his past rolls in like the fog, threatening an end to all he loves… Don’t miss the other books in the Cousins O’Dwyer Trilogy Dark WitchBlood Magick

"This is probably going to come off as an insult to Nora, and I really don't mean it to be, but I love to mindlessly read her books. I'm sure most authors wouldn't want people to be "mindless" while reading their work, but I find it so soothing to be able to read a book without having to think too hard about it. It's easy to pick up, but just as easy to put down. They are the perfect travelling books, which is exactly why I am reading the Cousins O'Dwyer trilogy at the moment. This second installment was about the same as the first: a lovely distraction but not much more than that. And that's not to say the book was bad, since really it's doing its job by taking my mind off long plane rides and the waiting in between, but if your looking for hold on to your hat, can't put this book down, you may want to look somewhere else."

"I think that I greatly preferred the first book in the series so far. I don't think that Shadow Spell was bad, but it felt very repetitive and kind of surface level in feelings... There's a lot more telling than showing and that always grates on me. In the grand scheme I didn't feel the same connection for Meara and Connor as I did for Iona and Boyle. Also.... Why does every book have an engagement? Why do they always need to be engaged?! Oh well that's a me problem I think"
