born in Winnipeg, Canada (yes, it really does exist). I love my
city and love even more that it’s become Hollywood’s running joke (Don’t
believe me? Just check out Youtube).
I have always been a writer, from poems in my Grade 6 diary (Ode to Hobbits),
to short stories in the back of my math’s book. I have always loved to create
stories and find myself constantly creating new characters.
I am a dedicated Fangirl of many proportions and I have a knack for getting
expressions all wrong and saying incredibly stupid, but often hilarious things
(My graduation gift from my friends was a book of my own quotes).
I am a proud alumna of St. Mary’s Academy, an all-girls Catholic prep school
and I studied Theatre and Film at the University of Winnipeg. Currently, I am
still hanging out in Winnipeg.

has turned sixteen and strange things have started to happen. Time moves
faster or stands still. She dreams of familiar yet not people. A
strange boy named Eamon shows up. Finn’s mother goes missing and they
are both on the run. I always like Irish folk/myths and legends.
really enjoyed the back story of the five Kingdoms in Ireland that once
were and the five families from the royal bloodline that had magic.
doesn’t know who and what she is and she learns to harness her powers.
She is stronger than the sons of the other for families because she
comes from two magical bloodlines and everyone wants to use her but no
one wants to trust her because of her father Cormac.
if you hadn’t guessed already then this is Young Adult not usually for
me but I liked some of the twists and turns and to be honest Finn
doesn’t really use her brain otherwise she could have figured some
things out for herself. Now there was a point where I nearly gave up and
this is because Finn and Eamon were so childish with one another. I
mean come on you are teenagers not in Kindergarten.
is really important to mention that this book has a cliffhanger that it
is not a standalone and how many books will be in the series.

Port Moyle, CA. She’s just an average girl and an okay student who has a
tendency to trip over her own lanky limbs. She’s perfectly fine being unnoticed
though. When challenged, she has an attitude that is borderline frightening
which the new kid in school, Eamon, finds out a little too quickly. When her
affinity for Witchcraft is revealed Finn takes a shining to learning her
powers, but she doesn’t like all the strings that come attached.

Fionnuala McLoughlin and not so average after all. Her relationship with Eamon
has its’ ups and downs from indifference, to friends, to enemies and back

Brant Daugherty
member. He is sent to observe and protect Finn before everything goes awry and
he ends up having to get her out of Port Moyle. He is stubborn and does not
accept blame so easily. His behavior is entirely dependent on his mood, he is
sarcastic, blunt and sometimes just plain rude. He takes his mission very
seriously but isn’t entirely pleased with his assignment.
Eamon is a Coven soldier so he typically does what he’s told, when he’s
told to do it. His vices however mostly include reading, the occasional video
game and longs walks by the water, really.
He likes to dance, just not usually in public.
Patrick O’Neill. His Mother; Miriam O’Neill (deceased) His Best Friend; Neely
O’Brien.

thinks he is the least qualified because he’s not the greatest with people. His
only asset is the fact that he is always prepared for the worst case scenario.

and reckless, she’s also powerful. He is torn between whether or not to embrace
her, or to fear her like his father has warned him he should.

moment. Even when he tries his hardest to be genuine he tends to muck it up
just as quickly. His character develops as he allows himself to vary from what
he’s been told and allows himself to form his own judgments.
