I recently finished my NetGalley copy of Alison Weir's fabulous new novel JANE SEYMOUR: THE HAUNTED QUEEN. Wow, what a fantastic story. I've always thought of Jane Seymour as a mousy, quiet woman. A woman who was the antithesis of Anne Boleyn. The calm after the storm. Well, this book throws all my preconceived ideas out the window.

book one book two book three I have been a long time fan of Nora Roberts. I love her 'paranormal' stories, full of witches, evil and Irish magic. This series doesn't disappoint.

Have fun and read all three. Very quick reading, I finished all three in less than a week.
