Birthright / Northern Lights / Blue Smoke

by Nora Roberts, Joyce Bean (Narrated by), Bernadette Quigley (Narrated by)

Birthright: Recruited for her expertise on an Antietam Creek dig, archaeologist Callie Dunbrook encounters danger - as a cloud of death and misfortune hangs over the project. She finds a passion that feels equally dangerous, as she works with her irritating, but irresistible, ex-husband, Jake. And when a strange woman approaches her, claiming to know a secret about Callie's privileged Boston childhood, some startling and unsettling questions are raised about her very identity. Northern Lights: With nowhere else to go, Nate Burke accepts the job as Chief of Police in a tiny, remote Alaskan town. Meg Galloway, born and raised in Lunacy, has learned to be independent. After her New Year's kiss with the Chief of Police, she allows herself to give in to passion. And now, things in Lunacy are heating up. Years ago a crime occurred ? and Nate suspects that a killer still walks the snowy streets. Blue Smoke: The blaze that night at her family's pizzeria changed young Reena Hale's life in more ways than one. As Reena gazed into the fire, her destiny began to take shape. She would study, struggle, and walk the gauntlet to one day become an investigator herself. But she is not the only one fascinated by the flames. Someone else is obsessed not with conquering the fire but with controlling it, owning it, using it to exact vicious revenge?

Too gruesome for me.

[Lisa Wells · Rating 3 out of 5]

(first week) Fianlly a good old fashion story, long and interesting. not life-changing...but it keeps me awake on my drive through traffic---around half way a tatilizing love story comes out. The good taditional kind that makes you gitty:)

(second week)Still enjoying it, its nice to have a good long story that follows the relationship a bit...but MAN are the one-sided characters getting on my nerves. Like, the family is a WAY loving typical Italian family. The boyfriend is PERFECT and he has no quarks. I really want a book to show how perfect men SEEM in the beginning, then your little things come out and they stop trying and their little things come out....its so one-sided, like kid cartoons depicting personalities, in all books I read.

(third week) More and more predictable and simple. Characters got boring.
