Review Summary

Kip and Shelly Davies are twins who have lives their whole lifes across the street from Lockly Arms, a victorian mansion that has been converted into an inn. As children, they trepass there for the purpose of spying, and Kip sees something that sends him into a shocked coma-like state. As teenagers, the twins get jobs at the inn, and their suspicians are aroused once again. Eventually Kip and Shelly discover that the inn is home to a witches coven, an apparently loving community. But eventually it becomes clear that something is wrong and that the witches are bad. A murderer comes to the idyllic town of Green Hollow, and numerous dead owls turn up outside the hotel. The twins discover the sinister secrets that the coven has kept for centuries, and in doing so, make themselves vulnerable to evil forces.
