Stars of Fortune by Nora Roberts
4.0

Actually more like a 3.5, but I rounded up for the fun nerd references (So say we all).

Very similar to her last trilogy (Cousin O'Dwyer) but with more fantastical creatures, this is a story of six strangers pulled together to search for three lost stars and protect them from an evil underworld god/queen. Book 1 focuses on artist/seer Sasha, who has painted and foretold the gathering of the six and their quest, along with the warlock she has dreamed of, Bran.

I don't really go for insta-love, but this is conveniently skipped around due to Sasha's visions/dreams. I think I'll enjoy the stories of the other couples more, especially since we've discovered one is a mermaid (Annika) and her love interest Sawyer is a time-hopper. Also, Riley is a lycan and her love interest Doyle is a hot warrior who has been around for quite some time.

Fun, but not one of my favs.
