KEY OF VALOR

The final installment in Roberts's Key Trilogy resonates with elements of the paranormal creatively woven into a modern romance. Zoe McCourt, a Pennsylvania single mother, must find the third and final key to unlock the trapped souls of three Celtic demi-goddesses. While doing so, Zoe embarks on a romance with Bradley Vane, wealthy heir to a chain of home improvement stores. Narrator Susan Ericksen breathes life into the characters, especially in her subtle delivery of Zoe's West Virginia accent. While a lack of pitch change between male and female characters may cause slight confusion, Eriksen's authentic Irish accent adds a lyrical lilt to the story.
