Overview

They say "third time's the charm", and for sixteen-year-old Brooke Day, they had better be right. She's been here before, twice in fact, and an evil demon-witch wants her dead a third time.

When Brooke is forced to leave Boston for the small town of Deadwich, she thinks her life is over. Before long, her new friends start acting strange-downright evil. But worse than that, nightmares she's had her whole life become reality.

Enter Marcus Knight; popular, hot, and the only person Brooke can trust. Not to mention, they've shared the same nightmares. With the discovery of an ancient Celtic amulet, Brooke and Marcus unravel the secrets of her past, which reveals the key to her future.

As the equinox approaches, darkness and light merge for the first time in a century, soul-mates reunite, and magic awakens.

About the Author, Lisa Collicutt

Lisa Collicutt is a native of Nova Scotia, who takes daily ocean views for granted. She left her urban life far too early and finished growing up in rural NS, where she met her husband and had their son. But a big chunk of her soul remains in the city.

Besides riding on the back of her husband’s Harley (because she doesn’t yet have her own bike license), Lisa’s passion is writing. Her imagination is like an unleashed pet. It requires her attention every waking hour, whether she’s at her day job, in a store line-up, or driving from point A to point B. Her pet plays on the fringes of her mind, attempting to capture her attention with story after story.

Lisa can’t imagine writing without an element of magic. But besides that, she likes to transport the reader back to their first love. There’s nothing like a captured glance, or the brush of an arm, or that first time when her lips touch his, to send shimmers of tingles over your body and release those caged butterflies.

Enter Lisa’s imagination where light ends and fantasy begins. But heed these warnings: It’s dark . . . It’s magical . . . You may experience tingles.

Thought provoking, captivating and sometimes frightening, this book is very well written and without any monotonous elements that you often see in other novels….. A page turner that will keep you reading until late into the night.

This book was wonderful, absolutely fantastic! I adored it!
I went into this book thinking "oh, this seems like it will be a nice story." And, wow, did A Gathering Darkness exceed my expectations and blow me away.

I'm very fond on the idea of reincarnated soul mates. It just speaks to the romantic in me. There have been a few books I've read that follow that idea, but The Gathering Darkness is probably the best of them all.

This book was so good I was addicted to it and when it was time for bed I didn't want to go. I wanted to stay up and devour this book to its end. I haven't been addicted to a book this much since I read the Twilight books back before they had all the hype. So Twilight series aside this book was AMAZING! It works as a stand alone or a series which is great!

I had the pleasure of reading this without having ANY idea what it was about - hadn't even read the blurb. This made for a very mysterious ride, and kept me guessing throughout.

I haven't read many books about witchcraft or witches, but I loved - LOVED! - the take on witchcraft in THE GATHERING DARKNESS.

I DEFINITELY recommend this book. You will not be sorry

Collicutt writes in a way that just sucks you in to the world of Deadwich. I could easily imagine Brooke's world, the scary Ravenwyck Inn and the dreamy Marcus. She described a teenager's insecurities and angst that go along with first love well, and while I was a bit surprised at how quickly they declared their love, it didn't seem rushed or false.
