![]() Rating: - Good plot, but flat characters...I did read this book and have now moved on to read the second in the trilogy. Although this is outside Roberts' norm, it is a good plot if you don't mind demons and witchcraft. My problem with this story though is that the main characters, especially Quinn, fall flat. The authors attempt at building a credible character just comes out as annoying. To try and make her a believable person she gives her dieting issues and the predictable jokes, which are supposed to be funny, just drag the story down. ... Read More Rating: - scary, but....I will admit that I enjoyed this book thoroughly, and the boogieman really did scare me, but the whole concept of characters meeting and falling deeply in love in a matter of days does get old. Also, did anyone else note the similarities between this story and Stephen King's It? Remember? Scary sewer monster comes to town every 30 years to feed on the children, townspeople are oblivious to what's going on, 7 kids band together to battle creature, scare it away, have to reunite 30 years later, some fall ... Read More Rating: - A HUGE Nora Roberts fan totally disappointed...I am Nora Roberts' biggest fan. Period. Bought everything I could get my hands on. Read and re-read all her greats many, many times. BUT...I couldn't even finish this one. After about 60 pages, I put it down. I was bored, a condition I thought I would never experience with a Nora Roberts' book. Found myself skimming pages. If she would get back to GREAT romance writing, like the "Born In" series (the best!) or the Quinn Brothers series...wow...wouldn't that would be awesome? If she wants to write this "dark" ...

Let me preface my remarks by saying that I'm a huge fan of Nora Roberts' work; that said, there are certainly some books I enjoy more than others. Also, with audio books, another factor in the equation is the narrator. I agree with previous reviewers that the characters could have been fleshed out a little more fully. I enjoyed the story and the narrator had a good voice while reading the parts of the three men, but fell ... Read More Rating: - Not as good as the Circle TrilogyThe first books I've ever read by Nora Roberts were the Circle Trilogy (Morrigan's Cross, Valley of Silence, Dance of the Gods). I was expecting this trilogy to be as good. This book takes place in Hawkins Hollow Maryland. In a nutshell it's about 3 best friends, born on the same day, same year, same time. They become blood brothers at the Pagan Stone and in the ritual they release something dark and evil. Every 7 years the evil takes over for a week and the townspeople basically go crazy. Enter 3 women who ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
