Book Review: Keepers

Genre: YA Fantasy

Publication Date: November 2017 (3rd book in series will be out in 2019)

Synopsis (from Goodreads): Saving the world is easy: all Eden has to do is die.

Seventeen-year-old Eden East’s life is perfect... until her soul is bound to her worst nightmare. Then her parents are brutally murdered, and everyone’s a suspect, including her best friend.

As her world spirals out of control, a charismatic Siren, from a past she can’t remember, returns offering help, hope, and a heap of distractions.

Eden must put aside her grief to solve the mystery of her parents' murder. In a race against time, can she break the binding to her enemy before he destroys her and her world?

Three lives. Two murdered parents. One deadly choice. Plot (4 stars): This was a really fun read and the plot was great! There are four groups of people who live in the world and they are separated by the type of powers they have - shifters, sirens, elementals, and sorcerers. Their job is to bring Balance to those of us here on earth. Of course, they must keep balance in their home as well. When the balance is threatened, they must find a way to fix it. I love this plot, because it uses paranormal powers that we all know and love, but how they use them is completely different from other books. It was a fun, original twist.

Characters (4 stars): All the characters were great. The ones that I was supposed to like, I liked. The characters I was supposed to dislike, I disliked. They developed well throughout and reacted to situations in ways that made complete sense to me.

Writing (4 stars): Writing was good. I was able to imagine everything. There were a few errors in the book, but they were minimal.

Overall: I really enjoyed this book. In fact, I read it on a Saturday - the whole thing in one day. It was a really great book and I give it an overall rating of 4 stars ****

Author: Sacha Black has five obsessions; words, expensive shoes, conspiracy theories, self-improvement, and breaking the rules. She also has the mind of a perpetual sixteen-year-old, only with slightly less drama and slightly more bills.

Sacha writes books about people with magical powers and other books about the art of writing. She lives in Hertfordshire, England, with her wife and genius, giant of a son.

When she’s not writing, she can be found laughing inappropriately loud, blogging, sniffing musty old books, fangirling film and TV soundtracks, or thinking up new ways to break the rules.
