Amazing reading - By: Judie Booklover, 12 Feb 2008 Every time Nora Roberts amazes me, she has so much imagination.
This book, the firstin a trilogy, is once again unputdownable. It start with three kids unleashing some kind of demon & the rollercoaster starts from there on.
I can't wait for the next book.
Good supernatural romance - good fighting evil. - By: LEP, 09 Feb 2008 I liked this book, the firstin the new series, much better than the Morrigan's Cross series whichin my opinion should have been published as one complete bookin three parts, not as three separate books.
The Sign of Seven Trilogy seems to me to be very much like the Key of Knowledge trilogy, minus the faeries, plus a little of the Three Sisters thrown in. Again you have the magic three asin the two other trilogies I mentioned above & three boys asin the Key series (i.e.in the Keys they visit the haunted house when they are boys).
It's a classic tale of good fighting evil. In this case the evil appears to be an ancient satanic daemon. The good being the three ten year old boys (now aged 31) who unwittingly unleash the daemon on the eve of their tenth birthday by combining their bloodin a "blood brothers" ritual. Every seven years the evil returns & wrecks havoc on their small town.
However, on the night the daemon was released by the boys, the good witch who ensnared the daemonin the 1600's, under the Pagan Stone, is also unleashed. He alone is not strong enough to stop the daemon, but the descendants of his three sons will be. To that end he endows the boys with strengths i.e. they can't be injured (they reheal after every injury) & never grow ill. Also he endows them each with different psychic powers & three pieces of his magick blood stone. They surmise that if the stone is rejoined then this may stop the evil, but no matter how hard they try over the years it can't be done.
Cal Hawkins & his friend Fox return to Hawkins Hollow after university. However, their third friend Gage leaves the Hollow, where his home life has been unhappy, when he is eighteen. He returns every seven years on the eve of his birthday to help his friends.
Quinn Black is an author who writes about ghostly happenings & the paranormal & she goes to Hawkins Hollow to interview Cal about the happeningsin the town. Once there she starts to experience vivid nightmares & sees the daemonin its "human" form. Layla, the second woman, is drawn to Hawkins Hollow by nasty vivid nightmares once there she also sees the daemon.
However, the third woman Cybil is the weak point for mein this first book, almost as if NR needed a third woman so stuck her in. Cybil is a friend of Quinn's & also a psychic. Quinn asks her to come to HH to help research the historical background of the happenings at the Hollowin the 1600's. However, Cybil does not have nightmare dreams etc., as far as I can remember, unless I missed that bit, & is not led to the town like Layla has been.
Of course, the three women each pair up with the three men, asin Key of Knowledge, & their individual 'powers' match.
It is an enjoyable book, if not entirely uniquein concept i.e. the Key series & Three Sisters series.
another great novel - By: Catherine Mcdermott, 04 Feb 2008 I cannot wait for the next bookin the trilogy I have not yet finished only a few chapters to go but had to tell you it is excellent I think Nora is a genius she has a great imagination.athie McDermott
