Nora Roberts is a great writer and I have loved every book of hers that I have ever read... EXCEPT THIS ONE! As has been noted, there was no counter-balance of good with evil by having the intervention or even the advice of a clergyman. The book was entirely too dark and some of the scenes were downright horrifying. Nora, was it really necessary to show the rape, murder, and human sacrifice of a 15 yr. old girl, at all, much less in all its gory detail??? Was it really necessary to explain in the end that good DIDN'T ultimately triumph over evil in this story??? I skipped through parts of this book because there was only so much of it I could take and I have never skipped through Nora's books before.If you've read this book, toss it into the trash. If you haven't read it yet, don't waste your time or money. There are plenty of other Nora Roberts' books to enjoy... bypass this one -- Nora's one failure.
