I was curious as to how the demon was demolished so, after listening with interest (but not enthusiasm after the first half)to "Blood Brothers" I read "The Hollow," the second in this trilogy. My prediction was correct; I skipped much.This second of the trilogy is essentially the story of the likable Fox. As I said in my review of "Blood Brothers" I am not a fan of romance. I knew this was loaded with romance starting out and thus predicted I would skip over the sappy parts of this book with the end in sight. It's good that Fox is likable because there is just way too much information about every concern in his life along with excruciating dialogue and details of his romance with Layla.Since I have now read all three of the books, I have to say this is the weakest of them all. That said, I still wanted to know what happened so on to #3.
I am pretty much done with Nora Roberts after years of reading her faithfully. Why introduce this twist to the story and then not do anything with it.
Author failed to make me care about the problem, too many characters that also do not seem to matter. This series is so boring -- and this book was the worst.
For example, once Fox agreed to be the surrogate father for his sister & her partner/girlfriend's baby, shouldn't that have figured somehow into the centuries-old-evil yarn. The way these people talk is beyond annoying -- it is like somebody besides Nora wrote it.
I used to love Nora Roberts, I couldn't put her books down from first page to last. After he agreed it ceased to be a factor.
This series is wonderful. Stand by Me meets The Omen with the exception of Dynamite Characters. If you like mysterious things that go 'bump' in the night or the day this one is for you. Evil vs Good takes on a whole new meaning with this series. The town setting, the courage, and the family values makes this series a keeper. If you like Nora Robert's fantasy meets reality books you'll love this series.
The book arrived much sooner than expected and was in great condition.I would buy again from this vender.
After reading the first book in The Sign of Seven Trilogy, "Blood Brothers", I just knew that I had to read the other two in the set. They have is all. The are spine tingling, full of excitement and you can't put them down once you start reading. I would recommend anyone to read this set of books. I am now a Nora Roberts fan and can hardly wait to read more. Excuse me, I have to get back to the story.
