Written by Teresa Flavin
This is the third and last book in the Blackhope series. Sunni and Blaise are close friends who stumble upon a magic painting. There is an interesting twist on the magic in this book, but it gets a bit hard to follow. The climatic conclusion takes place on Halloween in the Blackhope Tower. The highlights are suspense, friendship and adventure. If only the story flowed more smoothly.
