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…

Home Town Story of Good vs Evil

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

The story has love, good and evil. This is my first Nora Roberts book. It is entertaining without a lot of blood, guts or violence so it is rare. I enjoy the small town atmosphere where everyone knows everyone else. The book is consistently entertaining but it is not riveting either. This is book one which is read by a mans man which I found sultry. Book 2 was read well by a women but threw me off track because I was expecting Mr. Sexy.

Great Story

The story was great and fluid. Classic NR with twist. the narration is tough. most if it's fine but the accent he used for Layla makes her sound like a twit from New Jersey; high hair, long nails, orange tan, and chewing gum. Like nails on a chalk board. NR ladies are never twits. I was happy to see a different narrator for the next book.

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.
