There are good books about time travel, but this is not one of them. Try Jack Finney's TIME AND AGAIN, for example. And there are good books about vampires, but this is not one of them. Anne Rice more or less owns the franchise on the descendants of Dracula. So what is left? Not much, unfortunately. I was prepared to be entertained, but it didn't happen.MORRIGAN'S CROSS is slow and dull and predictable and just does not have the feel of Ms. Roberts' other books. It would be nice to say that this is a worthy effort on her part to do something different, but that wouldn't be accurate.My introduction to this writer was with NORTHERN LIGHTS, and after since reading a couple of dozen other books by Nora Roberts, the first one is still the best. The one here is the least. Still, I keep hoping.
