The first book of an intended trilogy, Nora Roberts<\/a>‘ Inheritance<\/a> is an urban fantasy mystery\/romance with occasional horror\/suspense elements which starts off quite good and stays that way for the most part.

Honor Raconteur<\/a>‘s tenth<\/a> Henri Davenforth<\/a> novel is basically more of the same as far as character interactions go. What’s different is the 3-part open-ended structure.
