DARK WITCH
Magical, romantic, compelling and appealing—Roberts at her best.
Seven hundred fifty years after an evil sorcerer attacks the Dark Witch Sorcha and leaves her children orphans, he comes back, and her descendants must depend on magic, friendship and love to repel him.
Iona Sheehan has sold most of what she owns and left everything she knows behind in America, convinced that Ireland is where she belongs. Her beloved Nan has directed her to County Mayo and the cousins she has there after filling her ears and imagination with tales of magic and family legends of an ancient, evil enemy. Once she meets her cousins Branna and Connor, they all realize that she is the final piece of an ancient power triangle designed to confront the magical enemy Cabhan, who killed their ancestor Sorcha, the Dark Witch, but only after she vanquished him for a time and imparted her power to her three children. Now, centuries later, when the three cousins are united, it is clear that they are each powerful in the ways Sorcha’s children were, and they have identical animal guardians. Something about Iona’s appearance seems to beckon Cabhan, and Branna, Connor and their three best friends will work to teach Iona everything she needs to know about magic in order to fight Cabhan when he confronts them—an event they can all feel is coming. At the same time, one of those friends, Boyle McGrath, may just be the man Iona’s been waiting for all of her life. If only she can convince him he loves her and they can both stay alive to savor a long and happy future. Roberts brings her A-game to this textured, expertly plotted magical romantic adventure. The author manages to create a flawed heroine who must learn she deserves the best from love, not a man who doesn’t know what to do with her magic, which is as much a part of her as her ability to work with horses or her newfound love of Ireland. Fans will be thrilled with the author’s return to Ireland and with the magical themes.
Magical, romantic, compelling and appealing—Roberts at her best.

Reviews for "The Science Behind Creating a Memorable College Mascot: The Michigan Tech Husky"
- John Doe - 1 star - The Michigan tech mascot is absolutely terrible. It looks like a half-baked robot that was thrown together at the last minute. The design is clunky and unappealing, and it doesn't even properly represent the spirit of the university. It's a shame that such a prestigious institution has such a poorly designed mascot.
- Jane Smith - 2 stars - As an alumna of Michigan tech, I was extremely disappointed with the mascot. It lacks creativity and originality. I was expecting a mascot that would embody the tech spirit and innovation of the university, but instead, we got a boring robot. It's uninspiring and doesn't evoke any sense of excitement or school pride.
- David Johnson - 1 star - The Michigan tech mascot is a complete letdown. It's evident that little thought went into its design. The robot looks outdated and doesn't connect with the current tech-savvy generation. It's hard to feel any real attachment to it as a representation of the university. They missed a great opportunity to create an iconic and memorable mascot.
- Sarah Thompson - 2 stars - The Michigan tech mascot is just plain awkward. The robot costume looks uncomfortable and the movements of the mascot are stiff and unnatural. It's difficult to get excited or rally behind a mascot that doesn't evoke any energy or enthusiasm. It's a missed opportunity to create a lively and engaging symbol for the university.
