From Booklist
Twice now, Gage Turner, Fox O’Dell, and Caleb Hawkins, with help from Quinn Black, Layla Darnell, and Cybil Kinski, delivered severe blows to the demon known as Lazarus Twisse. The team of six even managed to restore the bloodstone that could be the key to permanently defeating the demon. But Twisse is not going down without a fight. As the seventh day of the seventh month of the seventh year once again comes to the small town of Hawkins Hollow, Twisse is prepared to rain down death and destruction unless the six send the demon packing for good. After matching up Cal and Quinn in Blood Brothers (2007) and Fox and Layla in The Hollow (2008), Roberts focuses on Gage and Cybil, both of whom have a gift for precognition, as she winds up her Sign of Seven trilogy in fine fashion. Deftly blending edgy suspense and dark horror with her tried-and-true brand of sexy contemporary romance, Roberts has created an intriguing novel, rich in paranormal thrills and chills. --John Charles

About the Author
Nora Roberts is truly a publishing phenomenon. Today, she is one of America's leading novelists, with many #1 New York Times and USA Today bestselling novels to her credit. Her books are published around the world, made into films, excerpted in national magazines and translated in over twenty-five different languages.

From AudioFile
In Book Three of the Sign of Seven Trilogy, Gage, Fox, and Caleb are bound together as blood brothers as they face the final battle with the demon they unwittingly awakened years before. Gage must also face his feelings for Cybil, a fellow demon fighter. They are all bound together in the final fight to save Hawkins Hallow. Dan John Miller struggles with this mediocre offering, so unlike Nora Roberts's usually well-done fare. The music at the beginning each chapter is evocative, and the computer-altered demon voice also enhances the listening experience. But, overall, there isn't much for Miller to work with in this story, and the production is a disappointment. A.C.P. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine

Customer Reviews

Good grief.....I'm skimming it's so blah
I have been a long time Nora Roberts reader, but this trilogy has not been very good, and this last book in the trilogy is just plain bad. My two favorite characters in the series have been Quinn and Gage, so I was hoping NR would redeem herself by giving Gage a good story. Didn't happen. I have never had to skim a NR book, but I did this one. Thankfully I read the series from the library, so I'm only out time, and not money.

Oh, Dear . . .
I think it might be a good idea for Ms. Roberts to stay the hell away from trilogies for a while and either take a long vacation or stick to her stand-alone novels. In my humble opinion, her best trilogy was the Sisters Island trilogy, and they've been going downhill ever since.

I didn't think much of the first book in this series, but the characters were okay. The second book was more of a stretch, and I finished it because I'd paid for it.

In this last book, however, the characters were unlikable and the romance was so forced as to be ludicrous. In my daughter's pithy phrase, it blew harder than a Force Five hurricane.

Nope. I really think that a moratorium on these trilogies is in order.

Occasionally unintentionally funny; and boring in many places *****Spoiler alert*****
I never thought I would say this about one of Nora Roberts's books. But I found myself skipping several pages at a time. There is just too much conversation between the 6 main characters. A lot of the talk is on the nature of the relationships between them. If you read her Circle trilogy, there is probably what amounts to a page towards the end of Book 3, where Cian muses upon the destiny of the 6 of them. I would say a good chunk of Pagan Stone is devoted to that particular exercise.

Some portions of the book also reminded me of the comedies from the B/W era, where every cliched situation the makers could possibly think of would have been employed. All three of the women turning up pregnant and that too supposedly after conceiving on the same night?! Adding Gage's blood to the water supply to innoculate the town?

I was actually looking forward to Gage's story since he reminded me of my other favorite NR characters, Cian and Roarke. I am very disappointed.
