The Blurb:
An unholy ritual, a ticking clock. Four children discover there are things that go bump in the night ... Centuries ago a group of Elves committed an unholy ritual. But the ritual was a spectacular failure. It transformed the Elves into the Noctivagi - the beings we know as vampires. Striving to maintain a fragile peace, the ancient Elves and Dwarves negotiated an Accord, which they've renewed every year on the Summer Solstice. The ceremony depends on the magical Rune Stone, but it's missing. If it is not found—and quickly—the consequences could be dire, and not just for Elves and Dwarves. Four children, Rob, Jack, Eleanor, and Flora, stumble into a world of magic and mayhem when they move into Black Ledge, the old estate on the Maine coast, and discover they aren’t the only ones who live there.
The Review:
I love the elements of this story. It has a lot of creatures that you've come in contact with before, only they are truly unique. The kids are real, and not done in a way that doesn't make sense or doesn't seem like a kid would be. The fact that the littlest is easiest to take on the new world that they are thrown into is pretty awesome and totally true.
This book left me wanting to know more about the different connections between the characters. What will it all mean? It was the kind of book that you can read by itself, but it makes you want to know what happens next! It's a great book.
I highly recommend it for those that love fantasy books with a new twist. I wish that I lived in a place that had a hidden cave and little man that would Awaken my senses.
