Morrigan's Cross by Nora Roberts (2006, Paperback)

Although this is a different genre for Nora Roberts she's done a good job with it. Yes, it does follow expected vampire patterns, but that's part of what makes it good. We all know vampires don't have reflections, can't be out in the sun and are killed with a wooden stake. If you strayed from the accepted "rules" it wouldn't be as good. Now with that said, there's lots of vampire action in this book, a couple unexpected twists and some humor as well as the expected romance. With vampires, half vamps, a shape shifter, a sorcerer and a witch as well as a beings from another world it made for a very entertaining read. A definite great start for the new Circle trilogy!
