 strong paranormal romantic suspense December 4, 2008
Hawkins Hollow looks like an ordinary small Maryland town, but every seven years during the seventh month, the villagers go crazy; killing one another, defacing and destroying property, and creating general mayhem. This happens because twenty years ago ten years old Gabe, Caleb and Fox spilled their blood near THE PAGAN STONE, and that liberated the demon incarcerated there.
The men know this time either they or the demon will die. They learn that their women are descendents of the female the demon raped three centuries ago before his binding. Quinn , Layla and Cybil are fated to be in the town during this critical period because their men need their help. If they don't destroy the demon this time, it will be free to walk the earth spreading its evil wherever it goes. However, none of them has any earthy idea how to perform the deed. With the date coming soon they better figure it out fast or else.
This paranormal romantic suspense is fantastic with the focus being on Gabe and Cybil who both can envision multiple possible futures. Gage, a free spirit, avoids Cybil because he shuns serious relationships and his gut warns him this would be one. However, his heart makes him reconsider as they each have deep feelings for the other. They are also determined to defeat the demon. Nora Roberts is at her best with her final tale of the Sign of the Seven (see BLOOD BROTHERS and THE HOLLOW).

My highlight of the series and the perfect end of the Sign of Seven trilogy. November 25, 2008

Warning - spoiler
"The Pagan Stone", book 3 in the "Sign of Seven" - trilogy by the sensational Nora Roberts is my personal highlight in the series, there could not have been a better way to finish what was started in "Blood Brothers" and continued in "The Hollow". The book is a really intense , sometimes sweet, sometimes sexy and an always thrilling read.
In "The Pagan Stone" the six friends (Cal, Fox, Gage, Quinn, Layla and Cybil) are preparing for the finale fight to destroy the evil that Gage, Cal and Fox set free unintentionally 21 years ago. For both sides, the good and the evil, it's a now or never situation and the six know that if they don't succeed this time there will be no next chance. But there is hope because for the first time the three men are completed by three very special ladys that share their psychic abilities and are their partners in every way.
Gage and Cybil are the ones the book concetrates on (but it's not a book about them, the other four of the team (family) are not only the supporting crew which is great).
Gage a gambler and a loner most of the times and the outspoken, intelligent Cybil clash from the first moment they meet. From not liking each other they develope mutual respect and end up in an intimate relationship.
They both are wondering about where their relationship is going to lead to especially because Cal & Quinn and Fox & Layla fell in love which each other.
The one point Gage and Cybil agree is that they don't want a serious relationship. Especially Gage is terrified at the thought of loving another person besides his two blood brothers and their families. He learned the hard way that there is not always a happy end. When his mother and unborn sister died (he was just a boy) and his father turned to alcohol and started to make his life a living hell he stoped believing in fairy tales and love.
But the complications in their personal life have to stand back when it comes to fighting the demon who is more viscious than ever and especially hates Gage and Cybil. When Cybil is brutalized by the demon in a very evil way she and Gage have to fight hard to continue their way and not give too many thoughts to hate and revenge.
By the time their relationship turns from "you" and "me" to "we" and the three pairs get some thrilling news tragedy strikes again and one of the team has to be willing to sacrifice himself to finally destroy the demon and save the life of the rest of his family.
"The Pagan Stone" is all I hoped for and more. I couldn't wait to finish it, it's that good. There are funny moments, lovly and some sad ones (yes, I had to cry some) and all these combined make this book just perfect.
So please get yourself a copy and enjoy this fabulous end of the "Sign of Seven" - trilogy.

Loved this series, I was hooked with Blood Brothers and it only got better as the series continued. The characters stayed true to form through out the three books and I believe Nora Roberts does a fantastic job developing their stories so well that you feel the same emotions as it goes and her visions are so vivid in my head as I'm reading along. Great read!!!!!!!
Well Worth the Wait! November 28, 2008

Nora Roberts comes through again. I, along with countless others, have waited for the release of the third and final book in the Sign of Seven Trilogy. Upon reading the latest edition I was pleased to see it was well worth my wait. The story of Gage and Cybill is as gratifying to watch develope as was Cal and Quinn and Fox and Layla. The big bad is still there as the Seven draws nearer only he's coming on bigger and badder. With time winding down the six heroes are bound and determined to save the Hollow and themselves. The turns and twists they take in this final addition are well worth the read!
A beautifully poignant, romantic and thrilling conclusion! November 25, 2008

In July 1987 on the eve of their 10th birthdays, Caleb, Fox and Gage swore a blood oath at the Pagan Stone in the woods of Hawkin's Hollow and let loose and evil that had been bound over 300 years before and that came back every 7 years and terrorized the town. They each also received special powers such as the self-healing ability and "sight" into the past for Cal, present for Fox and future for Gage. They tried several times in the 21 years since that first event to destroy the evil but nothing they did worked. In the first book, Quinn - a writer of books about the paranormal, Layla - from New York who had a nightmare of events from the distant past, and Cybil - Quinn's best friend and researcher, arrived and met the 3 "blood brothers" and formed a team. Cal and Quinn fell in love in the first book, Fox and Layla in the second.
Now in the final book, the carefree, independent gambler Gage unwillingly finds that he must work with Cybil who possesses the same power to see the future that he does. Gage sees Cybil as beautiful, sexy, intelligent but also as a woman who would want a serious relationship. Cybil on the other hand knows that Gage likes his freedom and as she is also very independent convinces Gage they can work together without worrying about the other wanting a serious relationship. However, the evil that terrorizes Hawkin's Hallow sees both of them as a very serious threat and begins heavy attacks on both Cybil and Gage and especially trying to undermine their confidence using their dead parents images as well.
As Cybil and Gage both through research and shared visions become convinced that only if one of the six is ready to sacrifice himself or herself can the evil finally be completely destroyed, all of the six also experience many ups and downs but especially Gage and Cybil as this exciting trilogy comes to a dramatic close.
Touching, sad, thrilling, scary and suspenseful! Highly recommended!
