Giveaway – Blood Brothers
Posted by shelburns on November 4, 2008
I am so pumped about the Book Giveaway Carnival that I have decided to try to do a giveaway each day. Today’s selection is a book I have read and loved, so the copy is gently used. It is Book One of a trilogy. The final book is due to come out around Christmas, so this will get you started.
I love this series by Nora Roberts. In fact, I love almost everything she does, but this was a different angle for her as a writer. Here is a taste to whet your appetite:
It had been the Pagan Stone for hundreds of years, long before the three boys stood around it and spilled the blood in a bond of brotherhood, unwittingly releasing a force bent on destruction…
Every seven years, there comes a week in July when the locals do unspeakable things-and then don’t seem to remember them. The collective madness has made itself known beyond the town borders and has given Hawkins Hollow the reputation of a village possessed.
This modern-day legend draws reporter and author Quinn Black to Hawkins Hollow with the hope of making the eerie happening the subject of her new book. It is only February, but Caleb Hawkins, descendent 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 Quinn as well. She, too, can see the evil that the locals cannot, somehow connecting her to the town-and to Cal. As winter turns to spring, Cal and Quinn will shed their inhibitions, surrendering to a growing desire. They will form the cornerstone of a group of men and women bound by fate, passion, and the fight against what is to come from out of the darkness…

This sounds like a good series–and I’ve been intending to read some of her writing for a long time now… I think my favorite currt fiction writer might be Carolly Erickson (even if I oftentimes can’t spell her name properly)
