5 Stars
The Pagan Stone is the third and final Installment in the Sign of Seven Trilogy by Nora Roberts. The Sign of Seven Trilogy is about three boys, Caleb, Fox and Gage, who live in the town of Hawkins Hollow.
At the age of 10, the boys accidentally released a demon while camping at the Pagan Stone. Since then, the demon returns to the town every 7 years on the 7th month and, for 7 days, Infects the people of the town and causes chaos and destruction.
The three boys, now grown men, possess special abilities along with a piece of a Bloodstone, the only weapon that can be used to battle the demon.
The three men combine forces with three women, Quinn, Layla and Cybil who have a connection to the troubles in Hawkins Hallow. Together they work towards finally stopping the demon for good.
The Pagan Stone story focuses on Gage and Sybil who share the ability to see into the future. They devise a plan to bring an end to the havoc the demon creates by finding a way to use the Bloodstone to finally end the chaos and destruction.
I thought that the Pagan Stone was an excellent and exciting story. It combined the excitement of battling a demon, along with the enjoyable moments of the characters' personal relationships. The Pagan Stone was an outstanding conclusion to an exciting and enjoyable series.

Customer Rating:      Summary: Amazing Comment: Nora Roberts ended the trilogy wonderfully. I was always on the edge of my seat! I couldn't put it down!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Needs a Sequel Comment: Loved the trilogy but was disappointed in this ending. What happens next. I feel Nora has left this one open for another book or trilogy. Smart Nora.
Customer Rating:      Summary: How did they do all that esoteric research on laptops? Comment: This was a very bad book. I have read all the one and two starred reviews and agreed wholeheartedly with them. But what really made me put down the book in disgust was when I noticed there were no distinct characters. Of course, they had separate names, but it was one person talking to him/herself ad nauseum.
Customer Rating:      Summary: So-So... Comment: I love Nora Roberts and think she's an extremely entertaining and gifted writer. She frequently makes me laugh, cry, and get scared, all in the same book. I guess everyone has to have a dud every now and again. I wanted to throttle these characters if they researched any more. It's like she was looking for some way to stretch it out. I wish the climactic battle had had more meat to it, but I guess it's hard to stretch those out too much. And Nora, you are way too talented to resort to silly cliches and disturbing "rape" stories. Didn't like it in Blue Smoke, don't like it here. I think I'll go back and read the Key Trilogy again!
