Paranormal Romance

Every seven years, for seven days, in the seventh month, starting on the seventh day, bad things happen in Hawkins Hollow. Since their tenth birthday, Cal, Fox, and Gage have sworn to help their town through these awful times. There seemed to be nothing to do but fight and make it to the next seven. Now, they have three more to join in their fight - Quinn, Cybil, and Layla. The blood of both good and evil runs through their veins, collectively. They will learn as much as they can to stop this BIG EVIL once and for all. In the meantime, they will find even more love and honor than any of them ever thought possible.

In Book Two of The Sign of Seven Trilogy, it is Fox and Layla who make their way into each other's hearts. Wouldn't it be nice if love was a smooth and easy glide? Not this time, for while they are falling for each other, they are preparing to do battle with the wicked demon. This thing, the black cloud over the Hollow, will stop at nothing to get at Fox this time around. He is stronger than before and is as quick and deadly as ever. He pulls from all the things that Fox fears the most, even the memory of a lost love that could force a gap in his newfound relationship with Layla.

From beginning to end, this is an in-depth look into the lives of six individuals brought together by more than coincidence. This is all a deadly race to see who can get to the finish line first. Will it be a case of good overcoming evil or another one for the bad guy? You never know until right up to the end. This is one reason Nora Roberts is one of my most favorite authors. She is a completely top-notch storyteller. When you read her book, the dialogue is genuine, the characters are real, and you become deeply involved in the storyline. THE SIGN OF SEVEN Trilogy is sure to become a favorite and THE HOLLOW is already on the keeper shelf!
