"Loved the flash back and seeing Claire remember what happened 12 years ago. How the past fit into the present day was really interesting."

BookBub Review

"I do enjoy a good origin story and this is a great set up for the series. This is a nice introduction to all the main characters of the series and a great introduction to the town of Hawthorne. This may be short but well worth the read and a quick story."

Fun Fact:

Even though this novella is supposed to be the origin story, Lorin Grace and I only had vague brushstrokes of what happened that day thirteen years ago to kick off the Covington cousins' magic. It wasn't until we'd written all six books that this short prequel could be written.

I was also concerned about writing it from the point of view of a twelve- or thirteen-year-old because it might make readers wonder if the rest of the books were also young adult. I'm pleased at how I found a way around that. See if you agree!
