She, too, can see the evil that the locals cannot,somehow connecting her to the town - and to Cal. As winter turns to spring, Caland Quinn will shed their inhibitions, surrendering to a growing desire. Theywill 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.

BloodBrothers is a fantastic book. It's hard to define what it is - part fable, part myth, a supernatural novel, a love story and a little bitof other things. I've read a few of Roberts's novels now and have been impressedby her range and scope. Blood Brothers proves how skilled she can be.This a terrific read. This book is fantastically written, the characters arewell-rounded, rain and made of flesh and blood, the setting is so real I felt Iwas really there at times and the book is a brilliant blend of light /dark,myth /madness. I loved it. I will definitely read the other two books in theseries.
