I feel like this is my first Nora Roberts book, although I think I've read one or two under another pen name she has. While I don't know that this has made me want to go read all her other books, it definitely was a good read, and I am probably going to read on in the series, if I have time when the next ones come out. It reminded me a lot of my favorite post-apocalyptic stories Swan Song by Robert McCammon, and The Stand by Stephen King. There wasn't really a lot that was that unique compared to other stories, but the story itself was still good. This one tied in both magical beings along with some kind of disease. And it is this mixture that makes me want to read on and find out just what caused all of it to happen. If you like post-apocalyptic or the other titles I mentioned, you should give this one a try.
