Book 21, 2015
Mar. 15th, 2015 05:07 pmJust finished reading Fatal Circle, which is the third book in author Linda Robertson's series about ascending witch Persephone Alcmedi.
The story picked up right where the previous book left off, as in, literally the day after. I find I like that!
After killing a royal faerie in self-defense and being recognized as the Lustrata, Persephone has no time to rest and reflect. Two of the three remaining faeries are demanding that the witches turn over the vampire Menessos, whom Seph is bonded to. In addition, her werewolf boyfriend Johnny has been pushed into outing himself as the Domn Lup of prophecy.
In an effort to protect Seph's grandmother and foster daughter, she and the Eldrenne witch conspire to make it appear that a rift has formed between Persephone and the witches' council. Since few know the truth, Seph is in danger of being Bindspoken, which is how a witch is cut off from her own power. To prevent it, Persephone must exchange pieces of her soul with both Johnny and Menessos.
In the meantime, the faeries have given the witches a deadline to deliver Menessos to them, and Persephone and her allies have very little time to prepare.
This was a fantastic story, although darker than the previous two. I am anxious to read more in the series.
Five clovers!
