Summary: 5 Stars
John Coffee is a thief. While vacationing in Port of Spain, Trinidad, he stole what looked to be a child's locket and sent it to his eleven-year-old daughter, Carolina, in the US. Problem is that the old woman John stole the locket from is a Night Witch. She is possibly the last of the soucouyant, a Southern Caribbean cousin to the vampire and the werewolf. She can shape shift into any animal form except a creature from the sea. She lives forever because she wears a locket that contains a magic potion. But little Carolina now wears the locket and the Night Witch wants it back!
Carolina's best friend is a fat boy named Arthur "Arty" Gibson. The two watch each other's back whenever they come across the school bully, Brad, and his two shadows, Ray and Steve. But at night time, Arty watches over Carolina. Even knowing that his abusive father would beat the tar out of him if he is caught, Arty sneaks out at night and climbs into Carolina's bedroom window. Why? Carolina's mother is out almost every night, dating men, while Carolina stays home alone with someone stalking the house. Carolina knows that someone is outside, someone with red eyes and large fangs. Someone that she and her ferret, Sheila, cannot battle alone.
***** A great horror tale for adults. I stress "adults" because the back cover has the picture of a green, nude, young lady on it. She looks nothing like the "old woman" described in the book though, except for those wicked red eyes! If the picture was not there, then I would say that anyone over the age of thirteen would love this story! The tale is absolutely fascinating. Carolina and Arty are wonderful role model material too. If this story should ever hit a second printing, and it certainly may, my only advice is to change the back cover picture so the target audience may expand to include teens/young adults. Riveting! *****
