Circle of Nine #3
A FIRE IN THE SHELL
Imagine if your darkest dreams had the power to kill …
First came the flies and the bees. Then the wild dog attacks and sightings by locals of terrifying beings. The wail of the Banshee is heard. Erinyes, Pan and the Wild Hunt are on the move. The old ones demand blood … the killings begin.
In Circle of Nine a coven of witches unleashed chaos by opening a portal to Eronth, a parallel world where magic, prophecy and ancient myths are real. Now the coven return to close the portal. But dark forces are working against them. Is one of their own betraying them?
Eronth is on the edge of ruin. Its cunning folk have been decimated by witch hunts and are beset by invaders. Behind all this chaos lies the Eom crystal, ever growing in power and now with an offspring of equal evil.
The faith and strength of Khartyn, Gwyndion, Maya and others are pushed to the limit as they face the horrific culmination of deadly energies. Not all of them will prove equal to the challenge. Heroes will fall by the wayside. Who will make the ultimate sacrifice?
"Superb, complex and intriguing" Eternal Night

My 2 star - it was OK - comes about because I really don't enjoy dark fantasy. However this authors actual writing talent is 5 star. This is really well written. The fact that I looked for spent ages hunting down the 3rd book in the series when I don't like this type of fantasy is a tribute to her talent & ability as a story teller. I didn't like it quite so well as the 1st but that was probably because I was starting to struggle. If you like the fantasy genre definitely give this trilogy a try because you will love it. I'm sure if I actually liked fantasy I would have given this 5 stars.

hmmm glad I read it, however I do think the series got too busy with detail and that not enough of the complex plot was wrapped up properly.
