Book 1 of what looks to be an amazing series by Helena M Craggs and if this story is anything to go by then I know I’m going to love the others.
The first book introduces us to Quinn Carter, a half demon, and follows his journey upon learning of his new powers and heritage.
The story involves bonding with new friends who form The Keepers, a group of individuals who have been foretold to be protectors, bonding with his dad who he has never known, and learning to cope with his new powers and growing aggression.
Over the course of the book they become involved in a number of incidents making new friends and new enemies along the way.
A must read for YA fantasy lovers.
