As the summer holidays begin though, a series of events occur to turn Twitch's world upside down. From bullies to a suspected murderer, Twitch must learn to navigate a dangerous new world in which he will have to learn to read people as well as he can read birds and in which his trust in others will be tested to the limit. Of course, the first time they met they didn’t think that they were siblings at all. But once Alex’s mother died and Karsh flew her to Marble Bay, that’s when they realize they were (well, after two things happened to the twins that they couldn’t explain and they had to get a DNA test to find out if they were), that’s when weird stuff started happening.

Alex is sent to the fictional town of Crow Creek, Montana to live with Isaac and Sara Fielding, a couple who had always wanted a child but couldn't so they decided to adopt Alex. Sara adopted her from Karsh by private adoption. She knew of Alex's powers but did not know of the Coventry world, and her husband found out about Alex's powers later when Alex was 7. Alex never knew she was adopted until her mother, Sara, died of lung cancer when she was 14. Her adoptive father, Isaac, tried to get his wife but Fredo killed him before he got the chance.Ileana DuBaer is a cousin to the twins and their guardian. Her parents are Thantos DuBaer and Beatrice Hazlitt. After her mother died giving birth to her, Thantos abandoned her and Karsh Antayus, a distant relative of her mother, raised her. Her mother had little or no power, but Ileana was a very powerful witch until she found out who her father was. Ileana is sometimes self centered and has a temper but she is caring and dependable, unlike her father. Her boyfriend is Brice Stanley. Her specialized powers are telekinesis, precognition, hyperactive sight, levitation, shape-shifting, telepathy. Alexandra Nicole Fielding/Artemis DuBaer is the older of the twins. She was born as the moon was setting on October 31, 1986. She wears the moon amulet. Artemis, whom Alex was named after, was the Greek mythological moon goddess, and Apollo's twin sister. Alex is the spunky twin with a cynical personality. She grew up in Crow Creek, Montana and is an alumna of Crow Creek Regional High School's Class of 2004. Her closest friends are Lucinda and Evan, and her boyfriends throughout the series are Cade Richman and Andy Yatz. Her uniquely supernatural abilities consist of incredibly strong telekinesis, empathy, telepathy, hyperactive sense of smell and hearing, remote viewing, cold manipulation, and precognition. Thantos DuBaer is Illeana's father and an uncle to the twins. He owns a multimillion, multinational business and is extremely powerful in both worlds. He practices dark magic and was always jealous of his brother, Aron. He has tried to kill the twins numerous times but failed. Toward the end of the series he asked Miranda to marry him but she said no. In Book 10, he was to be ignored by everyone on Coventry Island at the end of the twins initiation. His known powers are cold and ice manipulation, telepathy, hyperactive sight, smell, and hearing, and blinding people temporarily.

While Stevie looks for the missing dad, the family also decides to get to it and find dad. I had a laugh at Stevie's reactions when she saw that the family had moved from one part to another. They don't move when she is around, so I can just imagine her feeling of confusion. I would also be scratching my head, though also be kind of curious and excited. There is magic in the air!

Keep in touch

Apparently the Twitches have been in the family for a while as Stevie's mom also comments on that the bunnies popping up in strange places also happened to her. I am curious to find out more about those adventures, but I guess these books will focus mostly on Stevie's adventures.
