 The book is great, the audio edition is awful September 23, 2008
I hate to be negative and I've tried to like this, but the reader on this audio edition just doesn't do a great job. The intonation she's chosen for the three female main characters jarr the ear and the narration feels flat. I loved the reader of the first book in the series, and had hoped that he would read this one as well.
The Hollow made me holler! September 16, 2008
Roberts once again doesn't disappoint with the second in her Sign of Seven series. Lots of magic (try a demon from Salem, MA trying to wreak havoc on the world every seven years, in the seventh month, beginning on the seventh day), hunky men (can I just say "yum"), and the women who are there to try to stop the evil from overtaking the good. Nothing really thought-provoking here, just lots of good, romantic, fun reading. I am one of many just waiting to see what happens to the demon from hell in book three, The Pagan Stone, due to fly off the bookshelves in November!
 Book two misses. September 12, 2008

I'm a huge fan of Nora Roberts but this novel seemedto be missing something. Was it the lack of a hot and steamy relationship? Was it that it took nearly half the book to finally bring Fox and Layla together? I'm not sure, but I've always been attracted to the way Nora could deliver an exciting romantic romp through a steamy world only she could imagine. Nora Roberts usually writes the best trilogies, yet book two lacks must of what we love about her. Which is a shame since book one offered some very nice promises.
Editor of the highly recommended novel: Fates by Georgiou Tino: Best of 2008
Should be 2.5 stars August 19, 2008

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).
Good sequel August 17, 2008

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.
