The Sign of Seven Trilogy by Nora Roberts
I have long been a fan of Nora Roberts and her new trilogy hasn’t let me down one bit.
If you have ever read anything by Nora Roberts you would know that she has an amazing talent for storytelling. One of the biggest reasons I enjoy her books is because she has the ability to tell such a wide variety of stories, in all different genres and still manage to keep you glued to the page.
The same is true about the newest trilogy, The Sign Of Seven. This series is about a group friends who unwittingly release something evil on their shared tenth birthday, and how they come to conquer it and save their town.
The first in the trilogy is Blood Brothers . Here we are introduced to the three main characters, Caleb, Fox, and Gage, all friends who were born on the same day, same year. Join them as they wander into Hawkins Wood for a secret camping trip on their tenth birthday, share their shock and fear as they accidentally release what can only be described as pure evil, that sets its sights on their town for seven days. Then it returns every seventh year, for seven days, in the seventh month. See them as adults and meet the three women who arrive in town to help them beat back this evil demon. Follow along with Cal as he falls in love with Quinn, an author of paranormal books. Meet Cybil, Quinn’s research assistant. Layla, who comes to Hawkins Hollow for reasons she can’t explain.
The second book in is The Hollow. This one is told from Fox’s side. The demon is growing stronger and his attacks on the six of them more frightening and frequent. Fox will do anything necessary to keep his family and his town safe. But will they survive this time?
The third and final book is The Pagan Stone. Gage left town as soon as he was old eough and only returns on the seven. At times he regrets even coming back to the town where his abusive father still lives. Will this time back be his last? Is he destined to die for this town he would rather leave? Despite his denial, will he fall for Cybil, changing his life, if he lives?
These three books will keep you on the edge of your seat and make you want to kee the lights on at night. Nora Roberts knows how to spin a tale that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

I’ve always heard about her books. My daughter gave me quite a few of her collection. You’ve made me want to check them out. Great job!
You know, I have never really gotten into her books. I have tried several times but, I always put them aside for a while.Love the article and review though.

Can anyone tell me if the Seven Trilogy has any graphic love scenes? I teach high school and one of my male students(a junior) was reading a Nora R. book that he said was a “paranormal” novel. My sister had the Seven Trilogy and I got them for him. I would give them to him if I new that they were only Horror. I do not teach reading and cannot find out if they are too “graphic”. I love some of Nora’s books but all that I have read would not be appropriate for him to read. Can you help me out? I looked for a review and did not know how to tell if there were any love scenes or how graphic they might be. I think this student is low income and I was trying to be kind. Please help me if you can. Kids need to read!!!! Charlotte from Florida Thanks for any help.
Hi Charlotte! Thanks for reading my article. I can tell you that I have read a lot of Nora Roberts books and every one of them has some sort of romance to it. The Sign Of Seven Trilogy is first and foremost a set of suspenseful novels but they do include some intimate scenes. I don’t think they are as graphic as some of her other books but you can judge for yourself. If you read pgs 177-180 in Blood Brothers it will give you an idea of what you are looking at. Each of the books has a couple of love scenes but the topic of the story line is one to keep you on the edge of your seat and is more over powering than those love scenes. I daresay if he has been reading Nora Roberts already then this might not be too much of an issue for him, but obviously that would be a concern, as a teacher, for a young man his age. What book is he reading now?
I want to thank you also for caring enough about your students to do something like that. You couldn’t be more right, Kids Need To Read!!!
