JUST YOUR AVERAGE MEGA-WITCH. . . .

It’s tough being a modern woman, but Persephone Alcmedi has it worse than most. Being the prophesied Lustrata has kicked her career as a witch into high gear, and juggling a wærewolf boyfriend who is about to become king of his kind and a seductive vampire who bears her magical Mark isn’t easy either.

Still, Seph’s beloved foster daughter, Beverley, is causing more trouble than these two men put together. The young girl’s been playing with a magical artifact that’s far more dangerous than she realizes. Now Seph must summon help from a mystical being so potent that even vampires fear him . . . and the cost of his aid may be more than she’s willing to pay. Seph, Johnny, and Menessos face threats from all sides—and a few from within. Will the forces of destiny cement their tenuous supernatural union, or shatter it forever?

OK, but

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 April 2013

quite a few of the UF books seem to slightly lose their way after a few books, and this book is no exception. I didn't really feel that it moved the plot on and I'm starting to lose interest in the characters. Often these series will get back on track once the author has ended some plot strands and moved on a few others, so hopefully this will be the case here.

Gute paranormale Serie!

Reviewed in Germany on 31 March 2013

Dieses bereits sechste Buch der paranormalen Serie um die mächtige Hexe Persephone Alcmedi ist wiederum sehr gut geschrieben.

Alle Hauptprotagonisten, der neu zurückgestufte, uralte und erste Vampir Menessos, der neu erkannte König der Waerwölfe Johnny Newman und die Mächtigste der Hexen Persephone haben alle ihre eigenen Herausforderungen, denen sie Herr, Frau werden müssen.
Seph muss damit zurechtkommen, dass ihr Liebster Johnny sie in Wolfsform angegriffen hat. Ihr Mündel, die 10-jährige Beverly verschwindet spurlos in einem Energiestrahl. Mächtige Vampire möchten sie versklaven und ein Gott ist hinter ihr her.
Waerwolfkönig Johnny muss mit seiner neuen Rolle zurechtkommen und damit, dass er Seph fast getötet hat. Die ihm zugewiesene Waerwölfin Aurelia, die ihn unterstützen sollte, treibt ihr eigenes Spiel. Jetzt, wo Johnny sein Gedächtnis wieder hat, erfährt er von seinem 8-jährigen Sohn, was ihn erpressbar macht.
Menessos musste von seinem Amt als Quarterlord zurücktreten, weil er unter dem potentiellen Einfluss von Persephone steht. Gleichzeitig mit der Machtübergabe an seinen Nachfolger Goliath finden gefährliche Ereignisse statt, die im Zusammenhang mit dem bösartigen Vampirtrio Liyliy, Ailo und Talto stehen. Diese planen Übles mit Seph's Mündel Beverly.

Es passiert gleichzeitig sehr vieles und alles ist irgendwie ineinander verwoben. Und das innert kurzer Zeit. Die Hauptpersonen, und andere, müssen mit ihren Rollen und mit ihren Beziehungen untereinander zurechtkommen, die Geschichte ist intensiv. Wir erfahren nicht sehr viel Neues. Was nicht in mein Bild vom erfahrenen Menessos passt, ist der Erfolg der drei bösen Schwestern, dass sie nicht besser überwacht werden. Allerdings gut für die Spannung. Insgesamt sehr empfehlenswert!

A vamp, a witch and a were Oh my!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 October 2013

Warning may contain spoilers for the earlier 5 books.

This is a superb series, that in my opinion, must be read in order. It follows the story of a witch (Persephone), a werewolf (Johnny) and a vampire (Menessos). Over the earlier 5 books so much as happened. Seph, Johnny and Menessos are a magically linked threesome.....no not like that, although I'm pretty sure Menessos wouldn't mind. Seph is now the Lustrata, Johnny the Domm Lup and Menessos has lost everything, which is where this story starts with Menessos havin handed over the Haven to his first in command Goliath.

Ms Robertson does a great job at reminding us the reader what happened in the last book, which is good because it has been some time since I read it and I had forgotten. But we soon catch up enough to enjoy this story. Shattered Circle is set over one night and so much happens that it feels like weeks pass by. However I got the feeling that because it is set over one night this book was like a filler and the main plot of the series didn't move on any. Johnny and Seph feature mainly in this instalment. Demeter (Seph's Nana) is one of my favourite characters and whilst she does feature she only has a short time in the book.

I really love this series and I really enjoyed Shattered Circle. I have one small complaint, which is why I am not giving 5 stars, and that is the jumping around in the story. I could be wrong here, but I thought the books were told in the first person from Persephone's pint of view. We still get Seph's POV but we also get the story in third person jumping from character to character and it did frustrate me when I was reading a particular good bit, to then go to a boring bit involving somebody else. However bearing that in mind I am still giving Shattered Circle 4.5 stars and roll on the next book please.

disappointing :(

I'm sad to say that I was sorely disappointed with this latest installment in the Persephone Alcmedi series. I have loved all the previous books & eagerly awaited Shattered Circle to move up to the top of my Wish List for purchase on its release date. Unfortunately, the book did not provide anything new to the series' plotline AT ALL. Instead, it was a disjointed mashup of unrelated stories from the alternating POVS of the usual suspects (Johnny, Menessos, & Persephone) as well as some lesser characters. The book lacked depth and continuity. There wasn't even an overarching theme to tie the POVS together. There was no STORY to this story. I really didn't feel that the author cared one way or another about the words she strung together and then shipped off to the publisher as an "addition" to the series. It was as though Ms. Richardson only wrote the book to meet contract demands. Truly, Shattered Circle can be skipped entirely. Don't waste your money on this one. Let's hope the author finds her muse again and is able to provide Persephone a real adventure in the next installment. She is a great character and deserves more from her creator.

Shattered Circle (6 of series)

Reviewed in the United States on 4 January 2014

Well, I think the series is about done for me. This one felt like I was running in place- there was no real advancement with the characters. The book was pure plot, way too many plots- with no real advancement in the storyline. Definitely not a super riveting read. The writer is good, but there are too many sub plots that never seem to reach a conclusion, and the character relationships went absolutely no where.
