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.

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. At times it reminded me of the Donovan trilogy (remember them? From her Silhouette time?) Three siblings, cousins, who are witches and must defeat a dark evil.

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