Summary: Awesome ending to the trilogy!
Comment: Three demi-goddesses are under a spell. They sleep in glass coffins, beyond the Veil. Their souls are locked away in the Box of Souls, which can only be opened by three keys turned by human hands. In each generation three human women are born who have the means to find the three keys and end the curse. Each, in turn, has one moon phase to find a key. If the first fails, game over. If the first succeeds, the second woman takes up the quest, and so on. If any of the three mortal females fail, they each lose an undisclosed year of her life. If all three succeed, the demigoddesses will awaken and each of the three human women will receive one million dollars.
The first two keys have been located. Zoe is now up at bat. Zoe's demigoddess is the warrior. Her truth is Valor and Courage. The fierce mother demands her nine-year-old, Simon, be protected from Kane. In no way can Kane be able to use Simon against Zoe and her quest. Rowena and Pitte are way ahead of Zoe there. Protection spells from them, as well as, from other gods behind the Curtain of Dreams, were weaved around Simon immediately upon the second key being found. Simon's protection is guaranteed.
However, there is still Brad. No matter how much Zoe battles to guard her heart from Brad, she is losing it. Even if she gave her heart to Brad, what about her son? How can Zoe trust Brad not to hurt Simon? Oh, not physically. But Simon clearly enjoys Brad's company. (And the game room from heaven in Brad's mansion is a young boy's dream!) If it does not work out between her and Brad, Simon could be emotionally hurt.
At the same time, Brad is definitely needed to help with the quest. Since Zoe has to find the very last key, Kane, the evil sorcerer, will do ANYTHING to make sure Zoe fails!
***** I do not know if the first of the trilogy is my favorite or this one! Since Kane changed the rules in the last book, the quests have become deadly, to gods and mortals alike! I knew, as the reader, that this book would be the most breath taking, simply because the last demigoddess was a warrior. I knew there would be the ultimate battle, before and after the key. Therefore, needless-to-say, this book ROCKS! Fast paced, mysterious, romantic, and a bit of magic within each page of this fairy tale come to life. Highly recommended series! *****

Summary: DYNAMIC VOCAL PERFORMANCE
Comment: Dynamic and dramatic both describe Susan Ericksen's vocal performance of the final epic in the exciting Key series.
As listeners and readers will remember the first book in the trilogy, Key Of Light, introduced three women - gallery owner Malory Price, Librarian Dana Steele, and hairdresser Zoe McCourt. The women found themselves faced with an amazing challenge - to find the three keys which will unlock the Box of Souls and release the souls of three Celtic demigoddesses.
Two keys have so far been discovered. Now, in the final book of the trilogy the spotlight is on Zoe. It falls to her to find the third key to free the souls imprisoned by a demonic sorcerer. Brad, whom we also remember from the previous books, is there to help her. A single mom, Zoe takes pride in her independence and accomplishments to date, but who would disdain a handsome helper for long?
It's always a tad sad when the final word in a trilogy is heard or read. However, Ms. Roberts brought this to such a satisfactory conclusion that regret was replaced by contentment.

Summary: Not so perfect ending
Comment: "Key of Valor" was actually my least favorite of the trilogy. In this novel Zoe McCourt's turn has come to find the last and final key to unlock the demigoddesses soul and outwit the evil Kane.
Zoe herself is an interesting person. At times seemingly prim and proper, she turns out to be quite the protective mama bear that won't accept help. The only reason why I honestly disliked this book was the hap dash ending. Having watched her two friends go thru the same struggles, Zoe had a relatively good grasp of what was required of her as did we the reader. In her quest to find herself and confront her past, she omitted the biggest aspect, that of her child's father. At a very young age Zoe became pregnant and left in shame. While she returned back to confront her mother who felt Zoe wouldn't amount to much, she never confronted her child's father as if to say "look at me now". He was mentioned a number of times, but nothing materialized.
Zoe also had to overcome her prejudices against Bradley Vane. Deeming him a snob on first encounter, she refuses to have anything to do with him, for she is embarrassed of her roots, afraid that he will look down upon her or she won't do the right thing. Isn't that rather oxymoronic and ultimately defeatist? A self-fulfilling prophecy waiting to happen? The Goddess Rowena deemed Zoe the one that she cared the most about, the warrior mother, and yet this mother had a lot to learn and not enough pages to do so in.
