Story
Ripley Todd just wants to live a quiet, peaceful kind of life. Her job as a sheriff's deputy keeps her busy and happy, and she has no trouble finding men when she wants them - which, lately, isn't all that often. She's perfectly content, except for one thing: she has special powers that both frighten and confuse her - and though she tries hard to hide them, she can't get them under control.

It began on New Year’s Eve. The sickness came on suddenly, and spread quickly. The fear spread even faster. Within weeks, everything people counted on began to fail them. The electrical grid sputtered; law and government collapsed - and more than half of the world’s population was decimated. Where there had been order, there was now chaos. And as the power of science and technology receded, magick rose up in its place.

Summary
But even in this quiet, peaceful place, Nell never feels entirely at ease. Careful to conceal her true identity, she takes a job as a cook at the local bookstore café - and begins to explore her feelings for the island sheriff, Zack Todd.
But there is a part of herself she can never reveal to him - for she must continue to guard her secrets if she wants to keep the past at bay. One careless word, one misplaced confidence, and the new life she's so carefully created could shatter completely.
Just as Nell starts to wonder if she'll ever be able to break free of her fear, she realizes that the island suffers from a terrible curse - one that can only be broken by the descendants of the Three Sisters, the witches who settled the island back in 1692.
Now, with the help of two other strong, gifted women - and the nightmares of the past haunting her every step - she must find the power to save her home, her love...and herself.

Superb listen for those interested in pagan themes
This is the first in Nora Roberts Trilogy of the 'Three Sisters Island' series, and it a truly mesmerising story from book 1 right through to book 3. The storyline takes you through the main characters history up to the present time, from the darkest of their days to the best of them. It has a deeply pagan theme which followers of this lifestyle will recognise many of the spells written into the books and this must reflect the authors following or research into the old ways.
I would tend to lean towards the research side as most spells within the book end with the all too familiar line ' so mote it be ', which many followers of the wiccan path will know is never used in true spell casting. It is amazing how many people have picked this up from programmes like ' charmed ' and believe it is the right way to end a spell, but that is poetic licence for you.
The books must be heard as a series otherwise you will miss out on the continuing theme which ends in a superb climax at the end of book 3.
Very highly rated series, and if you enjoy this then you would enjoy many of the other 'trilogy' books from the same author.

Really Disappointed
I have to say I enjoy Nora Roberts books normally but Dance Upon Air, I found the narration a huge problem to get past. The main character Nell sounded like Marilyn Monroe on helium and the male characters had such a strange gutteral sound, I found it very difficult to feel anything for them.

When Nora Roberts writes books with a supernatural twist they are always brilliant and this book is no exception. I really enjoyed the plot and the characters were compelling and interesting.

A place birthed by witches. here she finds her elemental sisters, her place and her power to take on her snake and demons. she also finds her knight with a blue badge. he is drawn to her the moment he sees her and will go to any length to show her, he will be her lover. and that she is protected and he won't let any one hurt her ever again.

Powerful Starting Over Novel
A powerful story of Nell, a woman starting over from an abusive relationship. Learning how to make friends and trust in herself again. The magic aspect is used wonderfully as a catalyst, however the relationships developed between the women and male protagonist are beautifully written that their individual personalities make sense for the storyline and their own back stories, without taking away from the emotional struggles Nell copes with and conquers.

Sweet Romance with a Touch of Magic
STORY - Dance Upon the Air reminds me a lot of the Julia Roberts movie Sleeping with the Enemy. Not the same, of course, but there are a lot of similarities. It is a small town contemporary romance that has an undertone of danger and a dabbling in witchcraft. The romance is engaging, and the impending danger will keep you on your toes. Nell and Zack are strong, smart, likeable characters, and I enjoyed hearing their relationship progress. As always, Nora Roberts' sex scenes are tastefully described but still very passionate. I enjoyed this book a lot, but I've gotten very stingey with my 4's and 5's so I've just rated it a 3.
NARRATOR - Good job but nothing special. Zack's voice was a bit nasally, but way better than a lot of men's voices done by women (and vice versa).
OVERALL - I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good "clean" romance. If you are looking for lots of hot sex, you should probably skip this one.

Great story, Awful narration
This is one of my favorite series by NR and I was excited to listen to it for the first time on a long drive. The story is as good as I remember; unfortunately the narration was so bad that it was beyond being distracting and ruined the story for me. None of the character voices made sense for the characters being portrayed, the intonation was completely off, and I was not able to become immersed in the story at all. I had planned on purchasing the audio books for the other two novels in the series, but having barely made it through this one I looked up the narrator for the others... and it's Sandra Burr for all three. I will not be purchasing the other two. Really disappointing.

One of my all time favorite trilogies
Nora Roberts is my favorite author and Three Sisters Island is my favorite trilogy. The reader does a great job with the narrative and with Nell but she ruins the romance with Zachary with her creepy voice.

Good Romance, Not So Good Narration
Unlike some of the other reviewers here, I was not impressed with the narrator. She reads well, but her character voices are honestly terrible. Of the three lead women in their 20s, one sounds like a little girl, another like an old lady, and the third has a nasally voice that borders on whiny. The love interest of the main character has a wooden tone with no inflection in it whatsoever, and the few other men in the book all have the exact same voice. Listen to the sample for a long time before you decide to buy this one. However, the book itself is a good romantic fantasy, and after awhile, the story was strong enough to overshadow the weak narration.

Good book, but didn’t love the narrators voice.
Nora Roberts writes great books. I’ve probably read 10 or more book series of hers and This one didn’t disappoint. I’m new to audible so it was fun to just listen while being able to do other things. The reason I’m only giving 4 stars is because the narrators voice drove me a little crazy. I know it’s hard to do all of the voices in a book, but the main character voice she chose to do was very annoying.

A couple of points don't ring true
I've read and listened to it his book many times over. Two things bother me. The first is the comments made by Zac when he finds out Nell is married. It is very sexist to regard a woman as belonging to a man. He knew she'd been abused and that she had left her abuser months earlier. He saw by her body language how afraid she was. This was the point for him to step in and talk to her about how he could help. My other beef is since Rip had practiced for many years it isn't realistic to have her calling magic bunkum. This is still a wonderful trilogy!

Lets stand together!
Nell makes you want to get out there and stand up for a cause - the book makes you want to move to a little island and find the solitude and friendlyness that might be waiting for you.
Having read this and the 2 others in the trilogy you feel as if becoming more in tune with nature and it's elements is something you really need to be doing - if only we could escape to this!
very well written and extremely well read! catches you from the word go!

Great fusion of the modern world and mythical.
The first book got me hooked! Entertaining with every chapter and at the end of it all, the audiobook doesn't leave you hanging on a cliff! But it did make me get the rest of the trilogy.
The reading was great too, loved the pace, fast when required other wise slow and calm. I enjoyed it hope you will too!
