This book is boring. I don't like the main couple of this book at all. Cale seemed better comparing with Quinn. I don't see any progress of their relationship. This book seemed lack of everything. It took me very long to finish. Please please....the next book should be better!
Typical Nora Robert book. 3 guys, 3 women and a trilogy. Love and Romance (and some Sex) and an enemy.
Nothing special but nice to read.

This is a great trilogy. Good love story with a mix of paranormal and mystery and adventure.
I wasn't sure I'd like this book when I read the back. It was one of those impulse buys that I grabbed because I love Nora. I didn't read the synopsis until I got home. With that being said I freaking LOVED it! The premise is crazy and I was hooked immediately. This is one of those books that throw you into the deep end on page one. No build up it's sink or swim. Okay without further adu what's this book about? You start the story with a snippet from 1652 a man has just sent his pregnant wife away, and he is preparing tools and weapons they ( his descendants) will need to kill the demon that's terrorizing their town. He's found a way to hold him prisoner, but he knows it won't hold. Flash forward to 1986 when three young boys accidentally set the demon free to reign his terror all over again. Every seven years for seven nights the towns people get "infected" and violence ensues. Only for them to wake up the next day and remember nothing of the terror and destruction they caused. The boys who've inadvertently set the demon free try to reverse what they've done. While they also try to keep the damage and death to a minimum. They continue this for fourteen years. Now they are men and preparing for the next seven when three women show up in town. They seem to be somehow connected. What does this mean for the next seven? Are they the answer or an omen?
I truly loved this book! I will say that it's categorized as a romance but I was way more invested in the action and story. It felt like the romance took a backburner to it. This was my first five star of the year!!

Pretty standard start to a NR trilogy. The older I get, the more grating I find the gender essentialism in NR novels. I am especially frustrated that this novel includes a sexual assault between the main love interests (Cal brings Quinn to climax while she's asleep). It's not even that old of a novel (2008?) so I find this scene's inclusion pretty inexcusable. The repeated mentions of Quinn's "lifestyle change"/diet also haven't aged well IMO.
Content Warnings
Graphic: Child abuse, Sexual assault, Violence
Moderate: Alcoholism, Murder
I really appreciate it when a book can take fantasy and make it seem realistic. Nora Roberts managed to do that with this book, real people in real life yet dealing with the bizarre. I wait until I'm able to get all the books in her trilogies/series before I start them so that I can just read them back to back, so I'm looking forward to how these 6 characters deal with the demon, containing and defeating the evil he brings to their little town every 7 years. Some dark scenes when describing some of the evil but short enough, didn't drag them out. Also some language (F bomb) and mild sex scenes.
Holy cow, no she didn't, its another NR trilogy, this time she takes on Horror! And magic. I like to pretend the brooding one is Dean Winchester from Supernatural.
Good plot, great setup for what's at stake, and likeable characters--The only reason I won't give the audio another star is because narrator Phil Gigante inexplicably gives Fox and Layla whiny Brooklyn accents. Kudos, though, for the creepy demon voice.
Cal, Gage, and Fox went on a camping trip when they were 10-years-old and, while becoming blood brothers as children will do, they accidentally unleashed a centuries old demon who had been trapped by one of the ancestors for centuries. Ever since that day, there have been seven days on every seventh year (7/1-7/7) when evil is unleashed on Hawkins Hollow, their hometown.
Quinn Black is a researcher in the paranormal. She's written many newspaper articles as well as a well-received book and now she wants to concentrate on the Seven. What is it about this place that makes the inhabitants go nuts? And what is it about Cal that draws her so deeply? She's happy with her life of travel and exploration but Cal is all about home. And, of course, there's no guarantee that they'll be alive past July... but they're both wiling to take a chance.
Quinn and Cal don't get as much of a story in this book because it is the first in the series and everyone is being introduced and set up but still worth a re-read.
