Books : The Hollow (Sign of Seven Trilogy, Book 2)
Rating: 
- Should be 2.5 stars
I have read a few of Nora Roberts' trilogies and they have kept my interest. However, when I picked up The Hollow I had no idea that it was even part of a trilogy. (Guess I should have known better.)I started this book three times and put it down while I read something else. I simply got tired of looking at the darn thing so forced myself to read it.
The premise of something evil returning to a small town every seven years should mean the reader is held from page one to the very end. But this reader found trouble right on page one. There was nothing to draw me in nor anything to keep me around.
Surprisingly for Ms. Roberts she spends a lot of time on useless filler with her six characters. Too much speculation on the pairing up of the couples and not enough action on the part of Evil. One can only hope that Evil is resting up for the big conclusion in book three. While the characters are interesting, they seemed shallow and incomplete. Perhaps Ms. Roberts should have spent more time on the climactic scene, which seemed rushed, rather than on the endless chatter of Fox and Layla and their push/pull attitude towards an intimate relationship. I thought this one was a great book for putting me to sleep.
Recommended by Ms. Roberts: The Three Sisters Trilogy (if you like the paranormal).
Rating:
- Good sequel
Nora is a good read no matter what subject. However, she is getting a bit boring in repeating the same themes of good versus evil; white versus black magic; three men and three women or vice versa (Threee Sisters) in the same books in different series. Still holds your attention and is a page burner; read it in one day. Looking forward to the final book.
Rating:
- Loved it.
The first book was a very entertaining read. By the time I finished this one, I was looking (in vain) for the third. If you like Nora you will like this. It's typical of her paranormal flavored books and well worth reading. Now I just have to wait for the third book.
Rating: - Great
Love this book. This is actually the second copy i bought. Loved it so much that when i thought i lost the first one, i bought another one. This is book two in the sign of seven trilogy and it picks up the first story very well and leads into the last seamlessly. Nora Roberts is a favorite author of mine and any book you buy of hers is bound to be great
Rating: - The Hollow by Nora Robers
As I have all of Nora Roberts novels, I enjoyed the Hollow and look forward to the third story of the trilogy. Ms Roberts provides great escape reading and this was no exeption.
