I'm such a fan of Nora Roberts and her books just keep getting better! Blood Brothers is yet another favorite of mine in a growing collection of Roberts faves, it had everything to keep me turning those pages until the very end. The romance is steamy, the characters are real and likeable, the mood is eerie and just scary enough to feel like you're in there with them. A great book! I can't wait until the next one comes out, I only wish it wasn't such a long wait!

I have become a real Nora Roberts fan. I like the way she mixes her genres. Romance, with a twist - some historical drama, some horror (but not too gruesome), some mystery and suspense. All wrapped up in a writing style that doesn't take itself too seriously. I love the fact that you can pick up her books and have an easy read.

If you liked Roberts’ Key trilogy, or the Three Sisters series, you will like ‘Blood Brothers’. This first book in yet another trilogy is Roberts at her best. Yes, the theme is typical Roberts—three men and three women come together to fight a big bad bogeyman, and one novel concentrates on each pairing—but oh, the writing. The depth of characters, the comprehension of grey within black and white evil-versus-good, and the language. The beautiful language that is Roberts’ trademark. Yes, people have said her last few novels have been a little lacklustre, but with ‘Blood Brothers’ she’s back to top quality. Twenty years ago, something happened to three best friends, all born at the same time on the same day, when they go camping near the Pagan Stone. They now have to face the Seven, where every seven years for seven days the townsfolk perform unspeakable acts of violence, but each time the dark power released two decades ago gets stronger. Enter author Quinn Black, who wants to write about the phenomenon, and finds far more than she expected.
