Book Description:

Hawkins Hollow, Maryland…an idyllic town where three boys share not only a birthday – July 7, 1977...but an innocent ritual of friendship that changes the course of their lives and everything else in Hawkins Hollow. Now those boys are men who must find the way to defeat the evil threatening all they know and love.

On the eve of their 10th birthday, the three boys meet to camp in the woods surrounding Hawkins Hollow. Their destination is the Pagan Stone, where they perform a blood brother ritual cementing their friendship forever. When their combined blood hits the ground by the Pagan Stone, a powerful evil, coiled in waiting for centuries, strikes. Seven days of chaos engulf Hawkins Hollow after that ritual, but in the aftermath the citizens can't quite recall the horror that possessed them.

Every seven years, that evil returns in full force for seven days--and the citizens again don't remember, or not clearly, what happened. Only the boys, now men, know.

Now, three friends must gather their strength and pool their talent—with that of three women who are drawn to the town, and to them--to defeat the evil readying itself for a return to Hawkins Hollow.

This book was recommended by my Mom. At first I was skeptical as I knew Nora Roberts wrote romances; but MAN!! Was I in for a TREAT!!

Hawkins Hollow is the typical peaceful, loving town, where everyone knows another by name, and give a helping hand if their neighbor needed it.

But then one fateful night in July, at the stroke of midnight; three boys unleash an evil. Now every 7 years, for 7 days; evil walks the quit town of Hawkins Hollow bringing nothing but choas, sorrow, and death to all that dwell there.

Together the three boys grow into adult hood, dealing with what they've released and trying to put an end to what they have done. Will they be able to solve this dark mystery? Will they be able to except the help of outsiders? Will the 7 days of darkness end?

A must read. You will not regreat it and you will find it very hard to put this book down. This is just the first of the three books. Enjoy it and make sure you have a good sturdy chair; this will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Is this really Nora Roberts writing or does she have a crew of ghost writers. Throughout most of the book the dialog was so choppy I sometimes had to read a sentence twice to understand it, but near the end I felt that someone else got to the wordprocessor and finished up the book with more coherent sentences. I have read a few other Nora Roberts books that I really enjoyed, but I forced myself to finish this one. What a wast of time I should have put it down and move on to the next on my list. I will definitely not read the rest of the trilogy.

It took me a little bit to get into the story, but I was hooked half-way through. It was not a normal Nora Roberts. It has demons and ghosts throughout it. I would definitly say give it a shot, because it did turn out to be good.
