This is the fifth book in the YA Paranormal Romance series "The mis-adventures of Alyson Bell" by Kristin Groulx, about the trials and tasks set forth by the Elders for teenage witch, Alyson Bell

When we feel that all hope is lost, we see our shadow self and have a choice to surrender to our innermost demons or to fight. Alyson meets her own shadow and wrestles for possession of her soul. Will she lose someone special in the process?... Herself? Alyson continues from where we left off in our last adventure, ready to face many new tasks and trials set before her by the Elders. Will she finally uncover her true self? Like diamonds shimmering within, the eyes are said to reveal a person's truest nature. Windows to the soul. Other times they open a portal to a darker world, those with hollow eyes and very little soul - as they are seeking yours to steal to replace the lack of their own. It began with Hremm Nevar. There is only one soul other than Alyson's that can battle these thieves, and that other must combine with Alyson - her twin flame. But first, she must find him. Only her heart can lead the way. She must open another door, ...The Door of The Thousand Keys.

Sometimes the pages just write themselves... as though, the spirit of the wood still lives between the text, dancing between pages and weaving magic. Alyson meets a tree dryad who helps Alyson on her latest adventure, that is, until the book the spirit is hiding inside of gets stolen and it's up to Alyson to travel through time to find her! For she holds the key that unlocks both the past and the future, and her prophecy is revealed.

It is the season of Samhain, also celebrated as Hallowe'en. The crisp of Fall is in the air. Spirits are amiss in the town of Hollow Creek when a portal that should've stayed closed, is accidentally opened. A medieval knight, misplaced in time, links sixteen year-old Alyson to an extraordinary discovery about herself, and her family. Embarking on a quest for knowledge, Alyson learns that sometimes in this magical world, you have to close your eyes... to see. And in order to forgive, you must first open your heart

When one door closes, another opens... or so they say. But what happens if that door is stuck? Some choices you are forced to confront, no matter how ugly or dangerous. Such is the doorstep of Alyson Bell, a tenacious teenage girl new to the rural town of Hollow Creek; a town rumored to be haunted by a ghostly spirit and a cat with more than the usual nine lives. Alyson tests her own strengths and weaknesses as she transitions into her new life, facing everyday teenage obstacles (bosoms and boyfriends), and hurdling over supernatural mysteries only she is predestined to encounter. Does one girl have what it takes to piece together the myriad of clues left behind in her century-old house to end a cat-astrophic curse, vanquish an evil soul-stealing vampire and still have time for a relationship with her new boyfriend, all before the next full moon?
