In the small village of Hawkins Hollow, three best friends who share the same birthday sneak off into the woods for a sleepover the evening before turning 10. But a night of pre-pubescent celebration turns into a night of horror as their blood brother oath unleashes a three-hundred year curse.
Twenty-one years later, Cal Hawkins and his friends have seen their town plagued by a week of unexplainable evil events two more times - every seven years. With the clock winding down on the third set of seven years, someone else has taken an interest in the town's folklore. Quinn is a well known scholar of local legends, and despite Cal's protests, insists on delving in the mystery. But when the first signs of evil appear months early, it's not only the town Cal tries to protect, but also his heart.

I wondered if Nora would be able to top her last trilogy, and she comes mighty close with this new one. The story of three young boys who unleash this deadly, menancing, evil force, and how they've dealt with it for the past 21 years is very interesting as well as the three newcomers who seem to have the key in helping them save the Hallow. I am very much looking forward to the next book in this trilogy, only the wait might be just too long.
I really loved this story. The characters are very well developed and the supernatural/love story plot flows very well. I couldn't put this book down! I had just about stopped reading Nora Roberts, starting to find her books trite and repetitive, but I am a believer again. She sets up the rest of the trilogy in a good way. You are left hanging about the supernatural part, but not about the relationship. The 2nd book is even better, read it this weekend.
Wonderful read but a bit scary. Looking forward to next two books, especially the second in the trilogy The Hollow which is Fox and Layla's story.
I found this book to be an interesting mixture of romance and the supernatural. She set up the telling of the other two books quite nicely. Read it in one day.
