The Keepers: Sienna

by Rae Rivers

[Emma (SCR)]

This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews Rae contacted me as part of Harper Impulse Fortnight to see if I would be interested in reviewing The Keepers: Declan, so I looked up the book and while I was dying to read it, I had a little issue. Declan was not the first book in the series and I am a bit of a stickler for reading books in the order they should be in. So I logged on to Amazon to find that Sienna (book 0.5) was free. I instantly downloaded it. I was almost halfway through Sienna when I knew I had to read the rest of the series. Rae has kindly emailed me copies which I will be reviewing shortly.

So back to the story. Sienna is a witch who has just inherited her grandmothers powers. (Side note: Now I am not sure how the powers were passed to Sienna and I am hoping this is something we discover as the series continues.) Sienna has 4 Keepers Archer, Sarah, Ethan and Declan. These four are sworn to keep Sienna safe at all times.

Now I am not going to go into too much detail on the story as this is only a prequel and under 100 pages. I will however say that it is fast paced, explosive and exciting.
 
I raced through page after page and couldn't put it down. I was not prepared for so much to happen in such a short book. Rae makes the best use of every single word. There is nothing on the page for filler. There is nothing that wastes your time.
 
I have to say that this had an interesting ending and I am very much looking forward to reading Archer and Declan.
