    About this ebook

    "Ms. Ferguson has written an un-put-downable book!"--Romantic Times magazine

    Darcy Kincaid is glad for the chance to assist Dr. Garnett with completing his book. The position offers her an escape from her domineering grandmother and gives her the opportunity to work on her own book--Tales of Ancient Egypt. Everything is perfect until she actually meets Dr. Garnett.

    Why does she feel she already knows this brooding man? The answer may be in the lights that guard Darcy. Or in the ones that haunt the gardens. Or even in the story she's currently writing--the tale of two tragic lovers in a distant yesterday.

    Darcy and Simon will have to discover the answer before they are doomed to be lost to each other forever.

      The second book in the series I liked better than the first one. This one focus's on the circle trying to save four women marked for death. Kirby walks in to find her roommate has been murdered. She is then attacked while in police protection and comes across Doyle a former thief and werepanther working for the circle to try and stop the ritual murders before they happen. Lots of running around and and end the end the baddie is destroyed and true love wins the day. Light reading and I'll read the next one since it seems each book introduces you to new people working for the group.

      Circle of Death was another thrilling and enjoyable read that I have come to expect from Arthur. With this second book featuring the Damask Circle, we are introduced to Kirby and Doyle. Kirby finds her life torn apart when her best friend is murdered and the killer comes after her. Arthur does a good job with her development of Kirby who has major trust issues, but I liked how this book had Kirby facing her past as she faced this current problem as well as taking a chance for her future. Doyle is also developed very well, and I liked his friendships with his two partners who had come to work this case with him. The book is full of not just twists and turns but plenty of action as well. Overall Circle of Death was another exciting and enjoyable read in this series that I would most definitely recommend. I look forward to reading the third book in this series.Received a copy of Circle of Death through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
    • 4/5
      Circle of Death by Keri Arthur is a fast-paced novel that draws the reader quickly in. Through the character of Kirby, Arthur manages to create a character who is both complex and emotionally engaging. The plot moved quickly - I found it hard to put down. The world is interesting - my only criticism was that sometimes in the beginning of the novel, it was difficult to completely understand what was happening and the different creatures and roles of the characters. I occasionally found myself going back and re-reading sections to make sure I had the story straight.

      I would like to thank NetGalley and Dell for granting me the chance to read this e-book in exchange for an honest review. Though I received the e-book for free that in no way influenced this review. PASSION REBORN In one vicious night, Kirby Brown’s world is torn apart. Her best friend is dead, killed by a madman who is now after Kirby, and she has no idea why. When the police prove incapable of protecting Kirby, she has no choice but to trust a mysterious stranger. And while she finds herself inexplicably drawn to him, she fears the strange abilities he wields. An investigator for the Damask Circle, Doyle Fitzgerald, has come to Melbourne, Australia, to hunt down a killer. What he doesn’t expect to find is a cadre of witches capable of controlling the elements, a sorceress determined to take that power for herself, and a broken woman who is more than she seems. Doyle is certain that the reason behind the bloodshed lies in Kirby’s past—a past she has no wish to remember. Because Doyle isn’t the only one with magic in his soul: Kirby’s special gifts have the strength to destroy the world.Kirby comes home to find Helen, her best friend/roommate, & Helen's boyfriend Ross, murdered. Brutally murdered, to the point where even the police are disturbed. She knows in her heart that she is the one who was supposed to have been killed, not Helen. But even that can't be right since Helen told her the two of them would die in an auto accident.Doyle, a shifter whose form is a black panther; Camille, a powerfully strong witch; and Russell, a relatively young vampire, are all members of the Circle of Damask. They've been sent down to Australia by Seline to investigate some murders relating to some sort of magical circle.Both Helen & Kirby are products of state homes and foster homes, and both have powers. Helen was a storm witch, while the Circle suspects that Kirby is an Elemental witch. Kirby's memories of her childhood come back in fits and starts, sped up when Helen's ghost tells her she is the binder and that she must stop the fifth from their circle from killing the fourth and therefore being able to take all the powers, which would destroy the earth. This person, the fifth from their original circle, wants to control all the elements, otherwise known as the circle of five.This whole time Kirby is being chased by all kinds of nasties, harassed by the cops, and generally just having a terrible time of it all. Doyle sticks to her like glue in an attempt to keep her alive. He ends up falling for her while working to keep her alive.Kirby has baggage galore. She repressed most of her childhood memories, particularly of one state house where one of the male caretakers would rape the 10 & 11 year old girls night after night. He never touched Kirby because of her green eyes, calling them "Fey" eyes. It was clear he was a bit afraid of her, but not enough to stop his depraved behavior. So she still had to hear this happen each night to all the others, including Helen.Helen grew up and lived by the motto of seizing the day, while Kirby retreated into a shell, trusting no one but Helen. No matter how often Doyle saves her butt she can't seem to bring herself to trust him. And for some unknown reason the two can read each other's thoughts, but can't read/hear others.Kirby comes off as rather weak willed and whiny, unlike the very proactive female lead in the first book in this series. She is far more reactive, and I found that very frustrating. I understand that is part of the persona she created for herself after the one experience when she was eleven, but she's almost 30 now and it's past time for her to wake up, face facts and move forward. Letting her past dictate her present & future seems like a cowardly path to take - and I don't like my lead character (regardless of gender) to be a coward. Though she gets better, she doesn't impress me nearly as much as the female protagonist in book one. Though this book is still a fun read, it makes me wonder if the third book will suffer from the same slump or if it will lean back towards the powerful excitement of the first book.

      Keri Arthur really knows how to put a story together! Once Kirby was able to put a little trust into Doyle, they made an amazing team! They both kicked some serious ass when needed, and with Keri, there is always some well deserved ass kickings handed out!!! I already recommend Keri to everyone I know and now I have another book to tell them to pick up!! I received and ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

      Kirby Brown arrives home to find her best friend murdered messily and now there is an evil stalking her. When Doyle Fitzgerald comes to her and rescues her from peril she's not sure if he's also a hero or if he's a villain. What does he want from her and how come she's so attracted to him?Its quite readable but nothing earth-shattering, much of the plot is quite predictable but I enjoyed the ride.
    • 4/5
      3.5 StarsThe second book in the Damask Circle and one I was looking forward to reading, but it didn't hold my complete attention. I found myself skimming through some of the pages towards the end cause I found myself not really caring who was doing the killings or even why. I wanted more relationship issues between Kirby and Doyle. Looking forward to the next book to see which character gets a book. I'm guessing Russ?Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC.
