Blood Brothers by Nora Roberts
4⭐
The characters are lovable, especially the dog. The story is building. The ending leaves me wanting more.
While this opening novel in The Sign of Seven trilogy is heavy on the story building with some smut sprinkled in, it served it's purpose in leaving the reader ready to pick up book two. We spend book one learning about the tiny town of Hawkins Hollows and the three men who are destined to ward off the evil that shows it's face every 7 years.

This book is so atmospheric, creepy without being scary, and has a great cast of characters. I think Nora Roberts does a superior job of world-building in her novels and this is no exception. However! I will say it's a little dated which pulled me out of the story at times. The MC is obsessed with her "lifestyle change" meaning she talks a lot about dieting basically - although that world is never used. And there is a level of old school fairly, mild in my opinion, sexism that occurs but is also challenged.
