Blood Brothers

Sign of Seven, Book 1

De: Nora Roberts

Narrado por: Phil Gigante

#1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts presents the first novel in a compelling trilogy about three brothers bound by fate, blood, and a timeless enemy.

In the town of Hawkins Hollow, it’s called The Seven. Every seven years, on the seventh day of the seventh month, strange things happen. It began when three young boys - Caleb, Fox, and Gage - went on a camping trip to The Pagan Stone...

It is only February, but Caleb Hawkins - descendant of the town founders - has already seen and felt the stirrings of evil. Though he can never forget the beginning of the terror in the woods twenty-one years ago, the signs have never been this strong before. Cal will need the help of his best friends Fox and Gage, but surprisingly he must rely on a stranger as well.

Reporter Quinn Black came to Hawkins Hollow hoping to make its eerie happenings the subject of her new book. She too can see the evil the locals cannot, somehow connecting her to the town - and to Cal. As winter turns to spring, they will shed their inhibitions, surrendering to a desire that will grow and form the cornerstone of a group of men and women bound by the fight against what is to come from out of the darkness…

Finding 6

Well done & exciting!! Can’t wait to dig into the next one!! Nora Roberts has some magical empowering works of art.

The story was great

As usual I love Nora Robert’s books. She has a great story telling ability. And I will be starting book two in the series tomorrow. These would make a great mini series on TV

Oh, Dear! Such A Narrator ...

The story, in and of itself, was a good one. If you aren't into listening to sex scenes, however, you might want to get ready to toggle your MP3 player forward at times.

I suppose that my biggest problem with this book, and the reason I gave it 4 stars, is the narrator. He has a fine resonant voice, however when he attempted to voice the ladies, he sounded like Nathan Lane in "The Birdcage". Or, for those of you of the younger persuasion, he sounded very much like Chris Crocker of YouTube fame during his rant to "leave Britney alone!".

My husband and I did laugh at the voices, though. One character in particular sounded like Liberace. LOL!

If you're concerned, be sure to listen to the snippet provided.

Disappointing end

I enjoyed the majority of this book, however after all the build up of the story, over many hours, the finale was over so quickly it was very disappointing. If you blink, you’ll miss it.

Narration

Narration of the book was good. It really need a female voice to do female parts. The male voice doing female voices was a bit distracting. Fabulous story!! I love Nora Roberts writings.
