THE KEEPER

Michelle slid her fingertip across the portscreen, flipping through the album of photos her granddaughter had sent that morning. Luc had taken Scarlet to see the ruins of the crumbling statues and still-standing wreckage. There was even a photo of Luc and Scarlet together, huddled in enormous wool coats beside a statue with one missing arm. The stone woman looked like a third member of their party.

    Students at my school are pretty excited about this book. Are you enjoying it? I haven't read WiNTER yet so I can't read this one yet.

    I've seen this series mentioned on a lot of blogs but haven't read any of the books. I like the opening and your 56 excerpt too. Is the genre sci-fi or fantasy?

      These are all fairytale retellings that are both fantasy and touch lightly on sci-fi.

    Your book sounds good. I am working my way through all 843 pages of Winter right now and savoring it because it is the end of the series. Happy reading!

      I finished Winter and this one came out after it, though it touches on many of the characters before they became who we know them to be.
