How do you raise a boy who can bend reality with his mind? How do you keep him level-headed, sane and good? Raising any child is a tremendous undertaking, let alone one blessed by the goddess herself. Levi Guildersleeve, retired soldier and successful collector of rare books finds himself as the only male role model of the most powerful witch ever born. This is a prequel story of the childhood of Declan O'Carroll, as told by Levi.

The Book of Levi was previously published as the Kindle Vella Demon Accords Beginnings which is a prequel story of Declan O’Carroll’s childhood from Levi’s perspective.

Ashling has raised Declan since his sister was killed when he was just a young boy. Ashling, Darci, and Declan are very wary of strangers and Levi was no exception. Levi trades in rare books and has a touch of the sight. Through rumors and such he decides to visit Rowan West and check out the food, the bookstore as well as the owner. What he finds is so much more than he ever expected. It takes some time for Ashling to decide she can trust Levi and hires him to teach Declan Krav Maga. Through the years, we learn things that made Declan the man he becomes, more about what Ashling can do and about Levi himself.

This was a book I loved reading. I don’t usually love a prequel because I hate going back to the beginning and reliving things I already know but this one was needed and written so it didn’t seem like you were just rereading a previous book.

About the Author:
website-FB
Conroe wrote his first readable novel, God Touched, right after finishing his daughter's copy of Twilight and muttering: "Vampires don't farging sparkle!"

With seven more books in the series and a stand alone novel (Black Frost), he doesn't seem to be slowing down. He cut his reading teeth on the likes of Robert E. Howard, Edgar Rice Burroughs, JRR Tolkien, Robert Heinlein, Andre Norton, and H. Beam Piper.

Financial professional by day and author by night (actually by morning), he bangs out his stories with fingers that are usually sore from forge burns or getting beat up at the dojo.
