| | | Every seven years, on the seventh day of the seventh month, in the town of Hawkins Hollow, strange things happen. It began 21 years ago after three young boys went on a camping trip to The Pagan Stone. Now, it will end in a showdown between evil and the boys who have become men--and the women who love them--in this new trilogy. Original.
Annotation:
In this new suspense series from bestselling author Nora Roberts, three children unknowingly unleash an evil curse on their town. This is Roberts's first installment in her SIGN OF SEVEN series.
| Author Bio| Nora Roberts | | Nora Roberts didn't become an immediate best-selling author, but once she sold her first novel, she never looked back. A mother of two small children at the time, Roberts began writing in 1979 with a number-two pencil and a spiral notebook. She wrote sporadically while her two sons were at school, a schedule she maintained long after they had grown up and gone to college. Two years and several manuscripts after her initial attempt, her first novel, "Irish Thoroughbred", appeared, the first of over 100 novels she would write in the following two decades. While having dabbled in many of the genre's forms, Roberts has found most of her success writing contemporary romances flavored with both suspense and adventure. The youngest of five children, Roberts grew up in Silver Spring, Maryland. In 1968, she married Ronald Aufdem-Brinke, the father of her two children, but divorced him in 1985, the same year she married her second husband, Bruce Wilder. |

3 of 5 Same Story Different Verse Sunday, December 30, 2007
Wendy A. from Littleton, CO
I have been a big fan of Nora Roberts, but it seems that her exceptional story telling abilities are on hiatus, and she is churning out and recyling the same kinds of stories and the same kinds of phrases. This book, not a lot longer than her old Harlequin stories, has a strange plot that is very lightly developed before--voila--the first of three couples required to face the evil being fall in love. It is very similar too and no where near as good as her other stories about witches and evil from beyond. If you are looking for an okay book that is a very fast read and all wrapped up in the last chapter, this is for you. If you are looking for the old Nora Roberts, with compelling plot and character development, this is not for you. Was this review helpful?
