Book Description:
This volume in the Sign of Seven series presents the conclusion to the adventures of three men and three women who join together and battle evil while falling in love, focusing on Gage and Cybil's romance.

The Pagan Stone had stood for hundreds of years, long before three boys gathered around it to spill their blood in a bond of brotherhood, unwittingly releasing a force bent on destruction...

Gage Turner has been running from his past for a long time. The son of an abusive drunk, his childhood in the small town of Hawkins Hollow was tough - his only solace his friendship with Fox O'Dell and Caleb Hawkins. But, aged ten, the boys unleashed evil on their town: every seven years murder and mayhem reign, and each cycle is more extreme than the last. Now Gage has returned home to help his friends save Hawkins Hollow, but a lifetime as a loner has made him wary of emotional ties. And who can make plans for the future when their present is so uncertain? For unless they find a way to use the Pagan Stone against the demonic force, everything they know and love will be destroyed...

The Pagan Stone is the conclusion to the Sign of Seven trilogy (see Blood Brothers & The Hollow). Gage Turner, Caleb Hawkins, and Fox O'Dell have been friends all their life. On the eve of their tenth birthday they went to the Pagan Stone to go camping. There they did a ritual and become blood brothers and unwittingly releasing a demon. Every seven years, in the seventh month, on the seventh day the demon comes out and terrorizes Hawkins Hollow for seven days.

Fast forward 21 years. With the help of Cybil Kinski, Quinn Black, and Layla Darnell the three "brothers" will fight the demon once more. But this time it's for keeps. The demon has been gaining strength and this is the year that it will end one way or the other. The 6 friends must beat the demon.

If you have read the first two books then you already knew that Cybil and Gage would get together and fall in love. That much is obvious but there are definitely enough twists and turns in the plot about the demon to keep you hooked. I read this book in two days because I couldn't put it down. I would definitely recommend the series.

The book was good, but the ending felt sort of anti-climactic to me. Typical Norah Roberts book - entertaining, easy read without much substance.

This was an okay series of 3 books to tell a story but it was mostly about falling in love and sex. I was disappointed that the 'main' story was few and far between.

I thought this was a good end to the trilogy. It was predictable, but there were enough twists and "unknowns" that I didn't know how the final outcome would be reached. Excellent story! I thought, though, that there was more emphasis on the love relationships than there was in the first two books and less on the "supernatural". That was a little disappointing to me, but it was still a good conclusion to a great trilogy.

I thought I knew how it would end, I kept trying to guess the outcome, but I was wrong! Great ending to the trilogy. It's one of those stories you wish could keep going on. You won't be disappointed.

Book three in Sign Of The Seven trilogy. Everything ends as expected but it was fun getting there.

Couldn't wait to finish this one but not because it was so good, but I had to see how it ended. This was like book 2 of the series in that the six spent so much time and energy
recording details that you skip details just to get to the end.

THis third book in the SIGNS OF SEVEN trilogy centers on the connection between Gage and Cybil. And, for the first 100 pages, it moves very, very slowly. Not only are Gage and Cybil hesitant to act on their romantic impulses, but the plot also gets bogged down with theories of the three blood brothers and their three ladies. THere is so much about charts, graphs, suppositions, what-ifs, fears, strategies, counter-strategies, etc. that for awhile I seriously thought about not even finishing the book. Instead, I was going to write and complain to Nora Roberts' editor, and whoever is in charge of stream-lining her manuscripts.

However, the action finally resumed and things started happening. The story became interesting and lively again. The romance between Gage and Cybil spiced things up a bit and blossomed before the grand finale happened in July at the Pagan Stone.

All in all, it was an interesting trilogy.

This isn't a usual Nora Roberts book. I couldn't read past the first few chapters. It is about demons and ghouls and totally bloody. Not my kind of reading.

This novel was a combination of humor, romance, adventure, and edge-of-your-seat suspense. I finished this one in 2 days.

I'm a sucker of a romantic, and emotional...so I was crying in different bits.

I liked this series. I pretty much like all of Nora Robert's stuff. The story line was great, but the language in this one was pretty bad. This dropped the F-word about every other page.

Great read!!

As with all of Nora Roberts' books, this was absolutely wonderful. It is the third of three and although it can be read alone, to get the most out of it, it should be read with the other three.
