A NIGHT OWL REVIEWS BOOK REVIEW | Reviewed by: Diana Coyle
Lucas Black decided to take his sixteen-year old daughter, Erin, back to Leto Island for the Halloween Fest. It had been five years since his wife, Kaitra, had passed on to the afterworld and since then he had taken Erin away to live on Earth. He felt it was a way to keep her secluded. You see, this family wasn't your average family. They were part of the witch and warlock world and came to Earth to try and live as average a life as possible since losing Kaitra. Although Lucas wanted Erin to know her ancestral background, he wasn't happy with her using magic unless she used it wisely and with great respect. He made certain that she received plenty of training from him, considering he was a warlock of living legendary status back at Leto Island. But because the lose of his wife, he had turned his back on his talents, every single one of them, including his ability to see the future. Practicing his magic with Erin made him realize there was something missing from their lives in more ways than one. Going back to Leto Island was the best way to rekindle the lives they had there and what better way to do it then with the Halloween Festival that drew witches and warlocks from many nations. Once back there, Lucas couldn't believe what was happening. The beautiful witch who was haunting his dreams for the last year was now standing right in front of him. Staring at him with her clear emerald eyes she recognized him too, but he refused to directly give in to acknowledging who she really was. He was not going to give into the temptation like he did with her in his dreams. Although he had to admit, everything they did together he thoroughly enjoyed. After dismissing her inquires about knowing each other, he regretted that he had forgotten to guard his thoughts now that he was back on the island. He had to make a mental note to be guarded for the remainder of the trip. He turned away from the beautiful woman and headed off to go find his daughter. Speaking with a bunch of girls, Erin was thrilled when she had seen her father approach. She introduced him to her new friends and they all asked for autographs considering his legendary status. He signed each one then took his daughter to dinner. Erin excitedly told him that she had signed up for a workshop called, Magic With Honor, being taught by Ashley Stevens and it was based on some of the principles she was already being taught at home by him. Although her dad hadn't recognized the instructor's name he was going to look into her background to make certain that her principles were exactly what he would like his daughter to learn more about. The next day, while checking every event that Erin had registered herself for, he had run into the beautiful woman again. Each time she was near him his breath would get sucked out of his lungs, his heart would beat like a drum inside his chest and warmth would spread over his entire body. He couldn't remember ever feeling as vulnerable to a woman in his entire life as he did with this woman. She quickly said hello to him, but didn't wait for his reply. Continuing on with his day he learned from around town that the instructor, Ashley Stevens, had built quite a reputation with her philosophy and her dedication to teaching young witches and warlocks how to use magic responsibly. He was very pleased that Erin had chosen an instructor with such a strong ethnical background. He decided to attend the workshop himself to listen to her lecture. As he and his daughter had approached Hulton Tower where the workshop was being held, that strange feeling started coming over him again. While walking into their classroom he surveyed the crowd for the woman who took over his dreams, but she was nowhere to be found. The classroom door opened and Ashley Stevens walked in to begin her workshop. Was Ashley the woman that had been in his dreams with him? Where was the woman he was feeling those strange sensations with and that
