MR Review
Dark Desire of the Druids I: Murder and Magick by Isabel Roman In Victorian England, Raven Drake is the most powerful survivor of an ancient Druid line thought to have been exterminated by “the cleansing” many years earlier. She and her fiancé Gareth, Lord Moore, are two of the most powerful people in the world. However, upon her arrival at Harrington Manor she’s drawn to Malcolm, Lord Preston. He makes her feel to a degree she never imagined. Torn between duty and a desire so strong it is magickal, what can she do?
The Dark Desires of the Druids I: Murder and Magick immediately captured me with its blend of history, romance, suspense and touch of paranormal. Raven is an appealing heroine. Still young, she retains some of the impetuousness of youth while also having quite a load on her shoulders. Because of who and what she is a lot is expected of her. Joining her power to her fiancé Gareth can only benefit her kind. He is her ally and one of her best friends. Sexually she’s not attracted to him. On meeting Malcolm, Lord Preston, she discovers what desire is. To satisfy her sexual curiosity she uninhibitedly gives herself to him. The affair was to be short and never did she expect the intensity of what she feels for and with Malcolm. Now to do her duty she must give him up. In the midst of her emotional struggle murders are committed and evidence left to frame the magickal community. This is done in an attempt to stop legislation passing that will stop their being persecuted, hunted, and killed. Raven’s emotional turmoil and pain from her denial to allow herself to be with Malcolm, her desire to see the killer(s) brought to justice, and the necessity of hiding who and what they are all make for a tense thrilling read. I’m looking forward to the next installment in the Druid Series. |
