Dark Witch / Nora Roberts / 352 pgs


Iona Sheehan, a plucky American, moves to Ireland to learn more about her Irish ancestors.  Quickly, everything falls into place for the very optimistic, pollyanna-ish character, as she finds a job, a home, friends, and a possible romantic interest in two days.  If that is not lucky enough, Iona also happens to be a witch with supernatural powers including being able to speak to horses and shoot fire out of her hands.

There is also something about a family curse, so occasionally Iona or one of her cousins would get attacked by a powerful dark force.  This is a light paranormal romance, nothing to deep about it.
