About this listen

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts comes a trilogy about the land we’re drawn to, the family we learn to cherish, and the people we long to love...

Book One of The Cousins O’Dwyer Trilogy

Dark Witch

With indifferent parents, Iona Sheehan grew up craving devotion and acceptance. From her maternal grandmother, she learned where to find both: a land of lush forests, dazzling lakes, and centuries-old legends.

Ireland. County Mayo, to be exact. Where her ancestors’ blood and magic have flowed through generations - and where her destiny awaits.

Iona arrives in Ireland with nothing but her Nan’s directions, an unfailingly optimistic attitude, and an innate talent with horses. Not far from the luxurious castle where she is spending a week, she finds her cousins, Branna and Connor O’Dwyer. And since family is family, they invite her into their home and their lives. When Iona lands a job at the local stables, she meets the owner, Boyle McGrath. Cowboy, pirate, wild tribal horsemen, he’s three of her biggest fantasy weaknesses all in one big, bold package.

Iona realizes that here she can make a home for herself - and live her life as she wants, even if that means falling head over heels for Boyle. But nothing is as it seems. An ancient evil has wound its way around Iona’s family tree and must be defeated. Family and friends will fight with each other and for each other to keep the promise of hope - and love - alive...

I just adore Nora Roberts and I can’t wait to read the next book in this series!

Fantastic

I'm a NR fan, but found it difficult to get through this book because of the screeching, over dramatic narration.
The story was OK, though perhaps not one of NR's best, but I'm a horselover and that redeemed it to some extent.
Still considering whether to get the next book in the series. If it has the same narrator, perhaps not.

Over dramatic and grating narration

Very reminiscent of The Witches Daughter and other witch books by Paula Brackston. I enjoyed those and I'm enjoying this series too, on to book two!

loved it

Good points; nobody write a brooding reluctant male like Nora. Irish aspects strong, narration and accents great, decent enough story.

Bad points: a little cheesy and predictable, main character was a bit too optimistic for me

Good if you like Nora’s Irish

A great story let down by the slightly girlish hat ration. It needed a stronger woman’s voice as parts of the narration sounded like it was being read by a 14 year old girl

A Compelling story slightly spoilt by the Narrator
