Blurb:
Carmen Kennedy is a spoiled brat from Beverly Hills with
a chip on her shoulder and a cocaine addiction to match. Using drugs to suppress
reality, her life is more than she can stomach most days. All she wants is to
disappear, and on one fateful night, her wish is
granted.
There is a world that exists just beyond the fabric of
our own. When Carmen is dragged there against her will, her hopelessness seems
to disappear, replaced by a determination to survive. The Keeper of Crows is
charged with guarding Carmen, but is safety a possibility in a world so
desolate? Can love blossom when danger lies in wait? Together, they fight like
hell, seeming to lose more ground than they gain with each battle against the
dark enemy threatening to tear them apart. Can love keep her safe? Can it give
her the strength she needs?
When the lines between life and death, reality and dream
become blurred, who will save the souls trapped in the spaces between Heaven
and Hell? Who will save Carmen's only love, The Keeper of
Crows?
My Review:
5 out of 5 Stars!
I don't even know where to begin about how wonderful and
original this book is! I honestly began the book (likely by the author's
design) thinking that this book was going to be about a spoiled rich girl that
continues to make a series of mistakes, and no matter what magical occurrences
keep happening to her, she will be continue to make selfish decisions that end
up getting everyone else around her in serious danger. It did start out that
way, but it certainly didn't last long. And when she did make poor decisions,
they only hurt her, which was her goal, since no matter how rich she was, she
hated herself and her life.
After one near death experience, I found myself wondering
how she was going to find a way to get herself back into another near death
experience, since this seemed to be her new life goal, with the bonus of
hurting her father's image, who she despised. However, in an interesting twist
of fate, her next near death experience came much faster than expected, not by
her design, and as we find out later.
In this case, she is literally dragged into an entire
different reality, and her need to escape life instantly becomes a need to save
her life. This new place had too much bizarre going on, she had no idea if she
was alive or dead, or who she could trust.
I don't want to give too much away, but this 'other
world' she becomes a part of is truly incredible in the way the author has
created it. She does an amazing job describing an immense amount of detail
regarding both the place and beings that lived there, and it was so easy to
imagine it and everything that was going on there. I was so incredibly sucked
into the story, which the author made easy, because I didn't have to keep
re-reading to understand what things were or what things looked like. It was a
very impressive world with layers into other worlds that seamlessly made sense.
Then, there was the Keeper of Crows. The more you read
about him, the more you realize there are more and more layers to him, and it
makes so much sense why they are so drawn to each other. In what seems like a
hopeless situation, just being together makes it seem brighter, makes them see
some good, and makes them want to do whatever it takes to make things better --
together.
Of course, there were constant twists and turns that you
don't see coming, which makes it nearly impossible to put the book down. Right
when you're sure you know how everything is going to play out, especially
because a character (I don't want to give away) tells her close to the end HOW
it will play out, you're left freaking out a little that it may not happen that
way after all. The world, the people in it, and even your own mind has a
tendency to throw curve balls. I'm now dying to read the next book to find out
what, if anything, these curve balls have changed. Is it a trick, or is it
real? If it's a trick, is all of it a trick or just some of it?
Like I said, there are many layers to this book, and it's
like nothing I've read before. I love every bit about it, and will immediately
read the next one when it's here!
