Book Reviews of Blood Brothers (Sign of Seven Trilogy, Bk 1)

I *LOVED* this book! Nora Roberts is the queen of trilogies, and BLOOD BROTHERS is the start of another winning romantic paranormal trilogy.

Cal, Fox, and Gage were only ten when they unleashed the demonic power trapped beneath the Pagan Stone. Every seven years, for seven days, a horrible and deadly power is unleashed in Hawkins Hollow. People commit horrible acts, and then can't remember doing any of it.

For these three men, it's been twenty-one years since whatever entity resided in that glade was let loose. Now, it's up to them to stop it before it's too late.

When Quinn comes to town, looking to research these strange events and turn them into a book, her presence seems to make the power of the three men even stronger -- but it also makes the "entity" stronger, as well. When Layla and Cybil are also drawn to Hawkins Hollow, the three men and three women band together to stop the horror that grips this town every seven years.

As I said, I really loved this book, and I can't wait for the next two books in the series. This is another winner, and fans of Ms. Roberts' THE KEY TRILOGY and the DANCE UPON THE... series will definitely enjoy THE SIGN OF SEVEN trilogy!

Excellant beginning to trilogy. Cannot wait for next one! Nora Roberts always a great read.

This is start of new trilogy. I bought on a Friday night and by Sunday am - read it all. This is a book of secrets- by the 3 main guys- by the town- by the 3 women involved. There are several scenes that made me shiver. She uses wonderful descriptions of the "encounters" to the point that you are there when the demon appears. Her men are real acting- not super heroes- but flesh and blood. The actions of everyone in the book draw you into their life. One of the mothers in the book is so real that you can identify with mothers you have known. And the father of Caleb is like so many real people I know.
I guess what I am saying- This is Roberts best book in a long time. You are actually there where this happens.
I am giving the book "10" stars. Only did that 1 time before.

**********

This was my first Nora Roberts book and I LOVED it! I cannot wait until the next one comes out. It's about 3 kids who go out into the woods to camp out on the eve of their 10th birthday and unleash something evil. It is similar to Stephen King's "IT" in that they get together again and again into their adulthood to fight the evil that has taken hold of their quaint little town. It is mysterious, scary, romantic and so much more. I breezed right through it because it just had so much going on. The characters are great. Such a good book!

This book was a good read. I finished it in a day because I wasn't able to sleep because it scared me a bit! Otherwise, it was a good book with interesting characters. Pretty typical of Nora Robert's trilogies, it mixes the supernatural with the more mundane.

Now how am I supposed to wait for the next one? Great book! The characters are very real. I loved it.

I don't normally like Nora Roberts book, but I loved this one an almost through with the second in the series. It is about 3 men, what happened when they were 10 that effects their lives and all those around them for the next 21 years.

I read this book the day I got it.. Couldn't put it down. Can't wait to read the next. Which I have Silly me! Love ya Nora!

Amazing! Another Nora Roberts classic that you will not want to put down.

Roberts creates characters that stick with you; like the Morrigan's Cross trilogy, I know I'm going to be brokenhearted when I get to the end.

A trio of friends (with a great many coincidences among each other), unleash a dark evil on their town during their tenth birthday. It brings the "Seven" - seven days, during the seventh month, every seven years - that the town goes a little crazy.

It's been 21 years...and with some help from new friends, they're ready to face up to their responsibiltiy, as a haunting past calls to them, and they hold to the hope of a beautiful future as their weapon.

Wow! What a way to start off another trio of books! This one will leave you turning page after page with wonder, delight, and excitement!

This was awesome! I can't wait until the second story.

Nora Roberts spins a fairy tale like no one else. Very good read.

this book keeps you intrigued and wanting to know more

absolutely a great read!

The book was great.

I loved this book!!! I am a huge fan of Nora Roberts and even though this book is quite different form her usual work it was great. I loved all the characters and the way the story plays out. Cant wait to read the other two books in the trilogy.

I found the characters in this trilogy very endearing. The story line was compelling and found myself anxious to pick up the next in the series as soon as I was finished with the current one.

This is a great Tiology! Loved it. I loaned it to my neice and she had to go buy the other 2 while on vacation. Couldn't wait to get home to borrow mine :-)

THis trilogy series was awesome. I couldn't put them down each book was wonderful

Good book! Excellent Series!

While this is the first in a trilogy, it stands on its own.
It is one of those books that is tough to put down. I drug it around with me everywhere. Everything short of taking it ti the bathroom with me. :)

I realy enjoyed this book. It keept me wondering what would happen next.

I will definitely be reading the rest in the series if they are anything as rewarding as the first. With it's supernatural elements and hair raising events it isn't her usual style. I do have to say I was little disappointed in the ending it was not nearly as frightening as I had expected to be.

enjoyable read. 1st book of trilogy.

This was a new twist for me. I have never read anything like this one and I loved the change. Already reading the second book in this series!

Fantastic read. The series went fast. Enjoyed the characters and how they developed in the subsequent books. Very interesting.

Like all Nora Roberts books, this one is terrific. Very supernatural though. If you don't like paranormal elements, you'd best skip this one.

Not what I expected from Nora Roberts, but it was a very good book. At times I felt like I was reading a Stephen King or Dean Koontz book. I'm looking forward to starting Book 2 in the series.

What can I say??? Read this.

Held my interest till the bitter end.

Nora Roberts is a fabulous writer, when I read one of her books, I feel like I've jumped into the book!

this book grabbed me from the beginning. Kind of reminded me of Salem's Lot with the townspeople not seeing what was happening, but definitely a book worth reading!

I really liked this whole trilogy. While some of Nora's three part series can become repetitive, this was full of good action, a building climax, and great characters.

This is a thrilling story of intrigue and mystery about three boys whose boyhood experience changes their lives forever.

I love this book, I love the people and the realtionship between every one< I love all 3 book.

Hi everyone, I've read all three of these books and they were all very good. If you like a mix of; family, lovers, fighting demons and crazed people and animals, then this is definately a book for you. The three "blood brothers" who were born on the same day of the same year and at what they would guess would be the exact same time, are Gage, Cal and Fox. They live in a tiny town called Hawkins Hollow where every seven years on what they call "The Seven" people, animals and even their loved ones go crazy. I loved this book as well as the entire trilogy!

First book of the trilogy. Wonderfully written. Introduces each character in time, and starts building on the relationships between them. Leaves you wanting to read book 2 and 3.

great book could not wait for the other two to come out. I have read both and loved them too. Cant what to see what is in store for them next..

I thought this trilogy was another great Nora Roberts series. A little predictable but still a good read.

Keeps your interest

This is a good series. a little out there but it still good

In the town of Hawkins Hollow. It's called the seven.

Every seven years, on the seventh day of the seventh month, stange things happen. it began when three young boys-Caleb, Fox and Gage-went on a camping trip to the Pagan Stone. And twenty-one years later, it will end in a showdown between evil and the boys who have become men-and the women who love them....


This is the first of a three book trilogy with Nora Roberts at her best. I can't wait to read the other two and yet I know when I've finished them all I will wish I hadn't read them so quickly.

Nora Roberts follows her tried and true formula in the first book of The Seven Trilogy. The story in all wasn't too bad. However I was a little annoyed with the mistakes in the editing. Juneau, Alaska was misspelled, for example. The dialogue was enough to make me snort in disgust. The female characters had a fondness for not finishing their sentences. Argh! However, I will probably read the next two books as well. What can I say, I'm an addict.

Roberts melds her three-girls/three-guys romance trilogy format with an homage to Stephen King in this first of three novels about a clash between ancient evil and the force that bound it.

I really wanted to like Blood Brothers, but I didn't. I did not like Quinn at all. She was too perfect and very pushy. Caleb was like a cardboard cut-out character; there was no substance to him at all, IMO. The plot started off okay, but started to get a little ridiculous as the story progressed. I can say that I will not be reading the next two in this series.

I love Nora Roberts~ This is one of her better books. Can't wait to read the next two!!

I really enjoyed this book.

I enjoy suspense novels with the added bit of romance, but I've noticed they all tend to follow the same script. Girl meets boy, are chased by bad guy, girl and boy end up in bed, and beat the bad guy in the end. But when you add in the supernatural, that's when things get interesting! If you love Dean Koontz as well as authors like Karen Robards and Sandra Brown, then you'll love this! I loved this first book in the trilogy and immediately went out and found the second book, "The Hollow" at the library. Can't wait for the final installment to be released!

This book was amazingly good. Nora Roberts has done it again....trapped me in a book and captured my attention though the whole read. But i must say some of the parts were kind of chilling but that could be because i was reading late at night. I could not put this down and i cannot wait for the next book to get to me!!

A very good read especially if you enjoy Roberts style of witches and spells ! Can't wait until next one of triolgy is out.

Nora Roberts does it again, a fun, suspensfull story, can't wait to start the second book of the trilogy.

A good beginning book for the series..Read it in a week, was hard to put down.

Nora Robert's first book in her newest trilogy. This one brings all the main characters into the story line in the first book. Great for the summer beach read season!

This book was pretty good. I was expecting a little more to happen in it though. It reminded me of the witch trilogy a little bit. Sometimes I can't figure out why I read these books - LOL! They are so predictable!

First of an exciting new trilogy. I though it was very good.

Awesome new series. Can't wait to read the rest!

I love her books and this one kept me wanting more and sad when it was over. Can't wait for the sequels

Every time Nora Roberts writes a trilogy, I promise myself that I won't read the first book until I have all three in my hand. I keep thinking a marathon read! But, I can't ever wait! Blood Brothers--Book 1 of the Sign of the Seven Trilogy, is FANTASTIC! Nora Roberts at her best.

First in the "SIGN OF SEVEN" trilogy. Three buddies, born on the 7th day of the 7th month in the same year, on their tenth birthday, make a pledge in blood at the "pagan stone" in the woods. Henceforth, every 7 years, the town is thrown into extreme violence...murder and suicide rates skyrocket, arose and people killed in fires increases, marital violence escalates, etc. Convinced that they accidentally unleased a demon, the buddies reconnoiter 21 years later. They're older and wiser and 3 female friends have joined them. They are certain that this is the year that the demon must be destroyed...at all costs. I'm looking forward to the next book, THE HOLLOW, which is due out in May, 2008.

Great book. I can't wait for the other 2 books in the series to come out.

I LOVE this book. I can't believe I have to wait until May to read the 2nd in the series.

This new Nora Roberts trilogy is a page-turner. Really enjoyed the romance and intrigue that Nora Roberts is known for. Highly recommend it and can't wait for the second book in the trilogy

Fabulous Book! Can't wait for the next one

Awesome storyline. Some things were predictable but it was so entertaining that I didn't care. Got this book for Christmas and was unaware it was part one of three. Now I have to wait 4 months for the next book. :(

This book was very good, can't wait until may for the next one~

Took me awhile to get into this book but once I did it was hard to put down. I can't believe the next one does not come out until May 2008. I don't think I can wait that long!
