Summary: Awesome Book!
Review: This is a great second book for this trilogy. The dialogue was just as great as the Sea Swept etc. books. The interaction between the women, between the men, and between each other was great. I read the book in about four hours, and could kick myself for not making it last longer. I'll be looking for the Key of Valor in January.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent story, but Christians might not like it
Review: This is another great read by Nora Roberts!

In this one, the second of the "Key" trilogy, the heroine, Dana, a tough-minded librarian (forget Marian and Belle and all those other "bookworm" heroines) steps up to the plate for the "Sisters of Glass" and hits one out of the park! During her turn at bat, she also reignites an old romance with author Jordan Hawke, and of course the two of them will live happily ever after when they move into the exotic castle once it has been vacated by the Celtic deities Rowena and Pitte.

Speaking of Celtic deities, the characters in this book, who are engaged in conflict with one of the pagan gods, invoke the name of Jesus Christ A LOT. Yet it never occurs to any one of them to consult a Bible. If garlic and a cross can drive away vampires, why wouldn't a Bible provide the "Key" to defeating a pagan god.

Christians might not enjoy this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful series!
Review: This is series is wonderful! I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. By the way the third book ended, it leaves an opening for future (hopefully) stories of these three women. I highly recommend them all!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Escapism
Review: This isn't a book you'll remember after it's over. The characters are forgettable and the plot is predictable. After the first book in this triology, Key of Light, there really isn't anything new to discover. We already know how this will end, so there isn't anything captivating here. The chemistry between the two characters was slightly better than the first book. This is probably one of the worst triologies N.R. has written - no sustainable plot throughout the three books, weak character leads, weak settings, and a very unbelievable storyline.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: The middle is always the hardest
Review: This was a so so book sofar as a middle book goes. I can't say I felt anything for Dana and Jordan...I felt that Dana was too angry to like, but other times she seemed weak. Dana especially showed this regarding Jordan. I have to say I like Flynn and Mal better than Jordan and Dana. Dana was to pessimistic to like....I am just reading the beginning of Key of Valor and Zoe so far has made up for Dana.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Book 2 of a trilogy.
Review: Three demi-goddesses are under a spell. They sleep in glass coffins, beyond the Veil. Their souls are locked away in the Box of Souls, which can only be opened by three keys turned by human hands. In each generation three human women are born who have the means to find the three keys and end the curse. Each, in turn, has one moon phase to find a key. If the first fails, game over. If the first succeeds, the second woman takes up the quest, and so on. If any of the three mortal females fail, they each lose an undisclosed year of her life. If all three succeed, the demi-goddesses will awaken and each of the three human women will receive one million dollars.

Malory succeeded in her quest. The first key has been found. The first lock has been opened on the Box of Souls. Dana Steele's quest begins. Dana's talent and quest is in knowledge, her love of books and information. This novel focuses on Dana's true love, Jordan. Jordan is a highly successful author of dark novels. Problem is that Jordan dumped Dana years ago and walked out of her life without looking back. Now that he is famous and returned, he seems to expect to just pick up with Dana where he left off. NOT! Worse, the entire time all is happening, the evil sorcerer, Kane, watches.

**** Okay, not as good as the first, but still well worth a solid four stars! More time is spent on Dana and Jordan (as a couple) and the store "Indulgence" (that the women are putting together) than on the quest, itself. Good reading, but a slower pace than the previous story. ****

Summary: A great series just gets better!
Review: Three women whose souls are locked, waiting for release. Three women who can find the keys, if only they have the courage to search.

Dana has a month to find the second key. But first she has to face her past, acknowledge her present and discover her future--a future that might include an old love, if only she has the courage to let him back in.

Nora Roberts never fails to captivate me!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Dana's Quest
Review: Two heads are better than one, but eight against one and the battle is won.
Nora Robert's Key of Knowledge is the second book in the key trilogy. It is filled with love lost and realized, as well as the realization that we are stronger together then apart.
Dana, the main character, is a lover of books. To find the key, she must search knowledge and truth. Once this task is complete. The second key will have been found as will a family.
Although they are not all related by blood, the eight are related on a quest with bonds them tighter than any blood ever could. The six people and two demi-gods work together to defeat the god that was the original cause of the sisters' souls being trapped.
When the battle is won, in the Key of Valor, the eight heads will have won all.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Another Great One
Review: What a great story... It will make you laugh, make you cry and make you beg for more.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Actually 1 1/2 stars...better than the first
Review: What can I say? Slightly better than the first, still trite, still predictable...and geez, I was a Roberts groupie at one time.

Suggest readers read the Born In series or Chesapeake trilogy.

I'm halfway through Key of Valor. Most likeable female lead character out of the bunch.
