About this listen

Sammy Raphael is a crappy witch, and on top of that, he can't seem to get a boyfriend. Where other supernaturals can bring down lightning and manifest wealth, Sammy can paint. Granted, the "prophetic" paintings he creates at night always come true, but they never predict anything important. Sammy feels like a total loser with a worthless ability.

One night he paints a gorgeous guy who turns out to be his secret crush, the human Ryder, but Ryder's changed so much he's almost unrecognizably beautiful. Then Sammy paints an angel who turns out to be a witch. But is that witch also a devil - a devil who can bring down Sammy's whole community and everyone he loves? And why the hell does Ryder keep changing? Aloysius, the black cat familiar, always backs a winner. So why is he backing Sammy?

Contains mature themes.

I loved it! Not only do I love listening to Kirt Graves but I feel he narrated this so well. There are a number of different characters and he makes sure to distinguish each one.

This is Sammy’s story. He believes himself to be a useless witch whose prophetic paintings are no help to anyone. He’s also in love with his best friend, Ryder but too scared to say anything. When Al adopts him out of the blue we know Sammy is going to be crucial to the story and when Lucien enters we know where the threat will come from we just have to wait for all to be revealed.

Another wonderful story with outstanding narration.

Brilliant addition to the series
