Loved it, but......................************Spoiler************* May 13, 2008
I don't know if Ms Roberts had time to make changes in Book 2 of the trilogy after so many bad customer reviews. Whatever the reason, I enjoyed this book.
I have to mention this, though many of the other readers would disagree with me. Fox donating sperm to his sister's partner? Ewwwwwwwwwwww! I would have said the same thing if he donated to his brother's wife. The relationship is the same.
 A bit more comical than scary May 13, 2008

This book was at least better than the first book, which isn't saying much. My favorite line is Gage's, "Are we going to talk it (evil demon boy) to death?" Well, apparently so, because, mostly, all our six happy friends do is sit and talk . . . and talk . . . and talk. Then there's a demon attack, and then they talk some more. The three women all have demon blood in them, and not a one of them turns evil. They discuss how it's a possibility, but does it happen? Of course not. The only interesting story will likely be Gage's in the third book. The other five characters are all nearly interchangable and I never really could make myself care about any of them. The dialog tends to be corny, unbelievable and hard to follow--who's talking, incomplete sentences. And I'm sorry, but there's not much plot--Evil demon boy does nasty stuff and guy #2 and girl #2 get together because it's their book, so they have to. I'll read the third book, but then I'm done. No more Nora paranormal romance stories for me.
 The Hollow May 12, 2008
this was an OK read for me. I have been a Roberts fan for years and go to her book signings often. I have loved most of her works. I have to agree with another reviewer on this site though. Roberts characters are just the same old stuff over and over and over again in her trilogies. say smart mouthed tough female or version of, Don't get me wrong I love powerful women characters but I am sick of the same type of character again and again.
I would like to see different types of characters like in her earlier works instead of versions of the same old stuff.
 Nora Roberts knows how to write 'em!!! May 12, 2008
An excellent second book in the trilogy! I couldn't ask for better. We're taken back to Hawkin's Hollow and its residents - good and bad. Some you love, some you love to hate.
This book circled mostly around Layla and Fox - their relationship blossoms in this novel, and I loved how they got the feel of each other - thoughts and feelings. Working together, being together... You get more of their backgrounds, what Fox was like as a kid and growing up. Layla gets to chat with his parents - together and separately, and adores his family almost as much as him. It was a little annoying how it took nineteen out of twenty chapters for her to finally admit she was in love it him - to herself and out loud to Fox himself - but I think it was perfect. I wouldn't have had it any other way.
You still get time with Cal and Quinn, and you know, just like in the first novel, they love each other deeply.
And wether Cybil and Gage want to admit it or not, I think they are very much stuck together. It'll be interesting to see them bloom in the third novel. They are alike in a lot of ways - and neither would ever admit to it.
In this novel, we're taken back in time through Ann's journals. You get a little better understanding of what they're up against. The troubles escalate, fear is mounting, as well as their determination as a group to finally stop Twisse.
I can't wait to see what the last novel - which is going to drive me absolutely crazy seeing as the third and final book in the trilogy, The Pagan Stone, isn't out until late November, early December `08. The six-month wait is going to kill me, LOL!
A little disappointed May 12, 2008

This was a good read, but I was a little disappointed...the book seemed like a filler and didn't have much action until the end. And now I have to wait until December for the final installation! I think this would have been a great one-book novel.
