Unlike his parents and his twin Seamus, Ian O’Donnell is not a good witch. Or rather, he isn’t quite good at it. Studying charts and remembering candles hasn’t ever really been his thing. Still, he longs to see the mystical sites of the world, especially the Great Pyramids of Giza. When Ian finally reaches them, though, he finds himself more attracted to the sexy man who works the night shift at his hotel than he does the pyramids.<br><br>Ian’s able to convince Khnurn to take him to the desert for a romantic evening in front of the pyramids. Everything’s going great until Khnurn gets serious. He tells Ian he’s a vampire and they’ve known each other before. Unfortunately, Ian can’t recall ever having been in a serious relationship in this life, or any other, and he isn’t quite sure Khnurn isn’t just feeding him pick-up lines. When Khnurn leaves Ian alone to think about things, another man appears in Ian’s life, a crazy-looking spectre that might just be the Angel of Death.<br><br>Ian soon finds himself hightailing it back to Massachusetts just in time for Halloween with his wonderfully animated witch family and their coven. Unfortunately, it isn’t souvenirs Ian’s brought back with him, but rather the creepy spectre from the desert, and maybe a sexy vampire who might just be the love of his life.

Reap This Too

“I’m sorry, my love,” Khnurn said. “It was the only way.”


“When you fed from me. When you had me drink your blood. You were protecting me. You saved my life,” Ian whispered. “I’m grateful for that. I’ve wanted to be like you ever since we talked about what you were. I just needed to know that you cared about me. This time, I’m ready for that commitment.”


Ian turned. He was saved, but perhaps their situation was not yet clear.


The man thing seemed perplexed. Ian imagined that he had never been tricked like this before. He looked fiercely angry, and completely unsure, a combination that Ian knew could often lead to destruction.


Seamus and Mine hurried to them, and pulled Ian and Khnurn back near them, then Seamus and Mine moved in front of them.


“I came for a life, and I don’t plan to leave here without one,” the thing that might have once been a man said, focusing his eyes, this time, on Seamus.
