This review is from: BlackWind (Paperback)

Have you ever felt a breeze run across the nap of your neck but there was no wind? Have you ever seen something out of the corner of your eye, but no one was there? Perhaps it was the Nightwind or one of the other creatures that share our world. Don't believe it? You may after you read Charlotte Boyett-Compo's BlackWind.
The author takes you into the world of the supernatural in this outstanding adventure. Allowing you to share in the life of a little girl and a little boy who were destined to become one.The author takes you through their years of growth and you see the joining of their souls. However dark forces will never allow this unity to be complete, not in the way at first you hope it would be.
Bronwyn and Sean pledge their love to one another, but Bronwyn does not know that Sean is a Reaper; nor does she know the part her heritage plays in drawing his enemy, the Nightwind.
This marvelous novel weaves in and out using the paranormal, demonology and witchcraft. Her description of the characters brings them to life before your eyes and at times you are routing for them to win, even though they could only be described as monsters. It takes a very good writer to achieve this goal.
I will not [fool] you, this is not a short read, and it is one you will want to have time to truly devour. To try and tell you the storyline would never bring justice to this work. Trust me, if you like the unusual mixed with mystery and seared with love, this is the novel for you. Good read! Well worth your time!
