Description: #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…
My Thoughts: Caleb, Gage, and Fox decided to camp out to celebrate the eve of their tenth birthday. All were born the same day - July 7, 1977. They chose to hike to the Pagan Stone and managed to unleash a long-buried demon.
Every seven years since, the demon made an effort to manifest and cause all sorts of chaos in the small Maryland town of Hawkins Hollow. It used to be only the seven days after July 7 that were filled with chaos. This year - the 21st after their camping trip - the chaos in beginning earlier.
Quinn Black came to Hawkins Hollow to write a book about the happenings to follow several other books she'd written about eerie happenings in other places. But Quinn finds that she has a strange connection both to the Pagan Stone and to Caleb Hawkins.
The two are joined by Layla who had a compulsion one day to leave her job and travel to Hawkins Hollow - a town she had never heard of before. Quinn also convinces her friend Sybil, a gifted researcher, to join them. And Gage who left Hawkins Hollow the day he turned eighteen has come home too.

Together, the six need to find a way to defeat the demon once and for all. They combine their various skills and form relationships to strengthen themselves and each other.
I enjoyed this somewhat spooky paranormal romance title. I love the way Roberts builds strong, loving relationships for her characters.
