Synopsis

Whitney Abbott travels to the seaside Maine town of Window to begin a new life in his uncle’s home. Robert Abbott is well-to-do and owns several high-end restaurants. Whitney will start at the bottom and work his way up at the flagship.

But from the moment Whitney exits his car in the drive of the big, brooding house, he senses the sinister atmosphere surrounding his relations.

His cousin November, princess of the estate, feigns joy at having Whitney in town. And November’s handsome athlete boyfriend, Griffin, is an enigma. Soon after his arrival, Griffin warns Whitney to leave.

With nowhere to go—and certain that his attraction to Griffin goes both ways—Whitney is drawn into November’s malevolent plans. Plans that will pit Whitney against dark supernatural forces in order to save both his and Griffin’s lives.

A thrilling opening and quick witchy read!

This book has a great opening which enthralled me. The synopsis was a little different to what I thought the book might be and I didn’t realise the characters would be so young!

The story follows 18-year-old, Whitney as he travels to his Uncle’s house to help earn some money for his family and himself. Upon arrival, he meets Griffin and their instant connection speaks to love at first sight. But Griffin is under the control of Whitney’s cousin, November; a dark witch and the ice queen of the Abbot mansion. Whitney fights to free himself and save Griffin from Novembers control. The story is very fast paced and suspenseful in some parts and just detailed enough for you to use your own imagination to form the story.

There were a few editing errors and cracks in the flow of the story but if you’ve got a good omagination then this story could open a world for you.
