Rating:  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:  Summary: Can't wait for the finale! Review: Wow..as always, Nora Roberts blows me away with her writing and stories. This book was no exception. Be warned..it is the second book in the Key trilogy, so be sure and read the first one before attempting this novel. (key of light) The key of knowledge follows librarian Dana on her quest for the missing key that will unlock a magical box and free three celtic demi goddesses from their long prison of sleep. Joining her on her quest are Mallory and Zoe..her best friends, business partners, and fellow key searchers. Helping Dana is Jordan Hawke, a mystery writer who she has always loved but who broke her heart when she was younger. Jordan is determined to win her back, help her find her key and protect her from the evil god, Kane. Their relationship is complex--friends, ex-lovers, he is also her brother's best friend. This book expands on the story line introduced in the first book- Kane becomes more of an active evil force, Pitte and Rowena are better characterized, and it is nice to revisit with Mallory, Flynn, and Moe (from the first book). The book also gives us a glimpse of what's to come in the final book with Zoe and Brad's relationship . The second book was in my opinion, better than the first book- Dana is likable, complex, smart and her emotions are multi-layered. She is once again attracted to Jordan, but knows that could lead to another broken heart. She is at a crossroads in her life- having quit her steady job and taking a chance on opening her own business. She is also on a time limit to completing her part of the key quest. I love how Nora Roberts uses Celtic myths and magical elements to enhance the story. It is so well done that it is easy to suspend belief and really believe in the legends, gods, curses and evil. I can't wait to finish this trilogy and eagerly await Zoe and Brad's story....
