2nd in Sign of Seven trilogy

The Hollow by Nora Roberts – 2^nd in the “Sign of Seven” trilogy.

The Hollow continues the story of the Sign of Seven trilogy.  In The Hollow we continue the battle against the evil from Blood Brothers.  Nora does a great job recapping the original story without being repetitive or redundant.  The storyline is similar to the first book, but in this one we are following a new romance between Fox and Layla.  I didn’t feel as connected to these 2 as I did with Caleb and Quinn in the first book.  But it was still a very sweet romance.  Nora ends this book by setting up the next one.  Definitely a very interesting read and I’m looking forward to reading the last book in the trilogy.

Synopsis:

#1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts continues the thrilling trilogy of a town plagued by evil–and the three men and three women brought together by fate to fight it.

For Fox, Caleb, Gage and the other residents of Hawkins Hollow, the number seven portends doom–ever since, as boys, they freed a demon trapped for centuries when their blood spilled upon The Pagan Stone…  Now, as the dreaded seventh month looms before them, the men can feel the storm brewing. Already they are plagued by visions of death and destruction. But this year, they are better prepared, joined in their battle by three women who have come to The Hollow. Layla, Quinn, and Cybil are somehow connected to the demon, just as the men are connected to the force that trapped it.  Since that day at The Pagan Stone, town lawyer Fox has been able to see into others’ minds, a talent he shares with Layla. He must earn her trust, because their link will help fight the darkness that threatens to engulf the town. But Layla is having trouble coming to terms with her newfound ability–and this intimate connection to Fox. She knows that once she opens her mind, she’ll have no defenses against the desire that threatens to consume them both.
