Call me a wuss, but The Pagan Stone scared the living daylights out of me. NR's description of the Big Evil was so good that my vivid imagination didn't have any problem bringing it to life. I actually had to stop reading this book last night and find something "lighter" to do, because the Big Evil was the last thing I wanted to have on my mind when I turned off all the lights.

A great ending to a good trilogy - even with too many over-stated conversations…
**Spoiler Alert** - review will contain spoilers
I soooo wanted to say a perfect ending to the trilogy, but I can’t. I was so looking forward to reading this one, to giving it a 5-star rating, like I do with most of NR’s novels, but I can’t.
We continue the Sign of Seven trilogy, this time with Gage and Cybil’s story. While it’s obvious to the reader that these two will end up together (every love story has to have an...more

OK, I'm just going to write my review of the whole trilogy here. And I'm not entirely sure if it's a review of this particular trilogy or a review of Nora Roberts in recent years. So, just hang in there.
I have been reading Nora Roberts for about 10 years now. I'm pretty sure that I've read most (if not all) of what she's written. Therefore, I think it's safe to say that she now officially SUCKS! Now, I understand, when an author is as prolific as Roberts is, you're going to get a bit stale. It's...more

Third and last book in the Sign of Seven trilogy by Nora Roberts. And possibly my favorite of the three. It's a tough call between this one and Blood Brothers. I think maybe I liked the romance in book 1 a little bit more (it's a little sweeter), and the overall plot progression of this one (book 3) more. So yeah, it's a bit of a toss-up to which I liked best.

So, there really isn't a point in my reviewing this book, just read Marianne's and it will tell you EXACTLY what I thought:
"I really really enjoyes this book. I want to say it was my favorite of all three but I don't really remember the other two very well. I know that I was less confused in terms of the characters in this book then I was the second. I LOVED Cybil and Gages relationship and how they great into a couple. It wasn't sappy, cheesy romance.

I'm sorry, I was just bored by this book. Research, research, research interspersed with predictable demon attacks. I didn't really feel a connection to the characters and I started to skim a lot of the book. As is often the case, especially with the last two trilogies, after a two and a half book buildup, the ending was anticlimactic. I still think Three Sisters Island was her best trilogy with a supernatural thread and I kind of feel like the trilogies in general need a reboot--they don't feel...more
I absolutely loved the first two books and was anxiously awaiting to read the final book of this trilogy. I will preface by saying that I love Nora Roberts and everything that she writes. I inhaled the first two books; I read them in a day. I waited six long months for the release of the third book - The Pagan Stone. With that being said, I hate to say this, but I was a little disappointed. I can't put my finger on one particular thing, but this book didn't grab me like Blood Brothers and The Ho...more

This book is the end to the Blood Brothers Trilogy. Although a bit predictable, it is a good end to the series and a very quick, easy read.
This book focuses on Cybil and Gage. They happen to be the two individuals that haven't "hooked up" yet. Cal and Quinn are already engaged, and Fox and Layla are well on their way. I thought that this book focused on Gage and Cybil much more than on the task of beating the Evil and saving Hawkins Hollow from the plague that it suffers each year during the Sev...more

I honestly miss the passion she showed us in the 70's, 80's and 90's. I went.."what!?" and had to re-read the last half of the story...to verify that yup! it really was mishmash. Ah well, the masses will buy it and NR won't be hurting for cash, I'm sure. I still honor Nora Roberts as "once upon a time, the best female author on the planet" but lately the books come out as assembly line projects. Predictable... (or is my lament only because I've bought and read every NR book available?) In any ca...more
I really really enjoyed this book. I want to say it was my favorite of all three but I don't really remember the other two very well. I know that I was less confused in terms of the characters in this book then I was the second. I LOVED Cybil and Gages relationship and how they become a couple. It wasn't sappy, cheesy romance. It just was. The ending was a bit too clean for me, but it was happy and really I knew that that's the way it would be. Classic Roberts, no surprise endings.
Overall, I didn't feel this was her strongest trilogy, but I was not disapointed. It had the romance, with a little magic and fantasy thrown in. I prefered the CIRCLE trilogy more, or the THREE SISTERS one. This was the last book, I found it the best, but also predictable. I can't say too much w/o giving the plot away, so I won't.
The third in the 'Sign of Seven' trilogy (why it's not called the 'Blood Brothers' trilogy is beyond me), The Pagan Stone sets up the final couple in the series, Gage and Cybil. Gage is an interesting guy, the only one of the three Blood Brothers who spends nearly all his time away their hometown, Hawkins Hollow. He doesn't have any family, nor any real ties to the town, other than through the bloodstone, but still comes back to fight to save the tiny town every seven years.

Three men, three women, a dog and an ancient evil. Three books and three love stories. Nora Roberts writes good books with interesting, supenseful plots. In this series, Nora Roberts shakes hands with Stephen King as the horror evolves. Three boys born on the same day 7-7 swear blood brotherhood at an ancient stone in the woods in Western Maryland. They release an ancient evil imprisoned there. Every seven years after that, the small town goes berserk with killings violence and fires and mayhem....more

This is the third book in the Sign of Seven Trilogy
Every seven years the town of Hawkins Hollow undergoes a change. Animals turn rabid, people turn on each other and the supernatural becomes reality. All this happens because of the blood ritual three boyhood friends performed on their 10th birthday on July 7th 1987. That ritual unleashed a demon and every seven years the boys do what they can to save the town and its people. This year they plan on stopping the demon for good.

I love Nora Roberts for making the series `The Sign of Seven Trilogy`!
I swear I if this was real, if Gage was real or even better if all the boys where real, I strip the down to boxers and tie them to chairs in my basement with chains.
You can most likely guess why I have more books then friends.

Okay now giving one of the synopsis for both, `The Hallow` and `The Pagan Stone` because I hadn't gotten a chance to put my review for the second book, I would just put it on this review.

In the first book of this series, Cybill Kinski got a call from her BFF Quinn to come to tiny Hawkins Hollow. Apparently, three ten-year-old boys accidentally unleashed an ancient evil 21 years ago and ever since, that evil has come back every seven years for seven days in the seventh month to terrorize the town. Those three boys are now grown up and ready to put the evil away for good. But they need the help of Cybill, Quinn,and their new friend Layla. All of this is intermixed with planning a...more
The Sign of Seven trilogy draws to a close as the last of the three couples, Cybil and Gage, become a couple. Both were charmed by their good friends, Cal and Quinn then Fox and Layla, falling in love and planning to settle down in Hawkins Hollow, but both were equally sure they didn't share that destiny. Sure, they're attracted to each other, but both enjoy a no strings lifestyle, and both have jobs that take them around the world. When they finish their work in the Hollow, they'll be long gone...more

Nora Roberts never fails to disappoint! In the stunning conclusion of her Sign of Seven Trilogy, Gage and Cybil struggle to keep from being coupled up, even though it's completely obvious that Fate (a.k.a. Nora Roberts) intends for them to fall in love and live happily ever after. The six friends also have to come up with a way to defeat the demon known as Twisse and save Hawkins Hollow from his evil machinations. The eventual climactic fight was suspenseful and well-plotted, and Roberts did not...more
So...I would have give this trilogy 4 or 5 stars if it wasn't for this book, the last one.
What can I say without spoilers? Well, up until the middle of the book everything was fine with me..I usually like a good old antagonist relationship between the hero and the heroine.. But at some point(spoilers*)all hell broke loose, no pun intended ('cause we're talking about a book about demons and stuff like that)..and that made me not like what i was reading..it lost the meaning it had from the beginn...more

Damn but I love a cranky, reluctant hero. Gage Turner, the hero of THE PAGAN STONE, Nora Roberts’ thrilling conclusion to her Sign of Seven trilogy, is just such a hero.

I'd have to say the third book in this in thrilling trilogy is by far the best. Though it also have the signature Roberts musical tone to it, the pacing in much faster, the leading characters more intriguing and volatile. Though you know before ever reading it exactly who will hook up this story is not in any way a disappointing read.

This is the last of the 'Sign of Seven' trilogy, with the narrative moving to focus on the final unmatched couple Gage and Cybil.
And, of all the three, this was the book I looked forward to the most. The chemistry between Gage and Cybil had already been sparking interestingly in the previous books. They were the first of the three couples who I really found myself wanting to get together. It's not that the love stories for the others weren't satisfying, they just weren't as electric.
