Summary: Harry Potter but much darker and more riveting
Comment: Where Harry Potter's world seems magical and inspires every child to write JK Rowling, begging to be admitted to Hogwarts--the same can't be said of Ravenscliff. From page one, the reality of Devon March's world is so nightmarish, that no child or adult would ever want to switch shoes with him. What is Devon's real identity and why are these terrifying things happening to him? This is the question that every reader of Sorcerers of the Nightwing asks him/herself. This book grips you from page one and refuses to let you go until the last page--even then you still can't wait to get your hands on volume 2.

Highly recommended. Give it a try!

Summary: Derivative but entertaining
Comment: The bad news first: this book takes a lot of cues from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." You have the high school sophomore, moving to a new town, discovering their powers as a divinely appointed defender against the supernatural. Instead of Watchers, you have Guardians. Instead of the Hellmouth, you have the Hellhole.

It also takes a lot from "Dark Shadows." You have the windswept house on the cliff in New England. You have the family cannery and fishing fleet. Amanda Crandall is basically DS's Elizabeth Collins Stoddard, down to the errant husband and sexy teenage daughter. Rolfe Montaigne is DS's Burke Devlin. Troubled Alexander is DS's David Collins. The book's hero, Devon March, ends up being a sort of male Vicky Winters, in that he's a companion for Alexander while searching out the mystery of his identity. Simon is a copy of DS's menacing groundskeeper. There's the closed-off wing to the house. There's the ghost who weeps at night.

But...the book has a narrative verve that keeps it going. There are some quite original shudders and some interesting characterization. A lot of the book's younger readers will probably spot the Buffy elements but miss the Dark Shadows elements, so they probably won't mind as much as an adult will.

It is profoundly derivative, but the author has potential.

Editorial Reviews:

Is this the destiny he had come to find?
To die in a house of secrets, to discover
not his past but his fate: doomed to
spend eternity as one more ghost
haunting the halls of Ravenscliff?

Every kid fears the monsters in the closet -- but for Devon March, the monsters are all too real. At fourteen, Devon is sent to live at Ravenscliff, a dark seaside mansion where secrets abound and the dead just won't stay that way. He learns that he is a sorcerer of the Order of the Nightwing, a three-thousand-year-old tradition of mysticism and magic -- the roots of which run deep at Ravenscliff. In a house of mysteries, he'll have to decide quickly who is friend and who is foe, because Ravenscliff's worst nightmare -- the Madman -- is coming back, and he's bringing Hell with him.
