Mackenzie is a
teen with a secret job to do, she is a Keepers, a job passed down by her Da.
She helps maintain the Archive, which is a place where copies of everyone that
has died are cataloged like library books. They slumber silently, well usually,
until they are wake up and find their way into The Narrows, a sort of in
between place. Its Mackenzie’s job to hustle them back through a door into the
Archive so they can be shelved. But something is wrong, really wrong, both with
the Archive and the new building Mackenzie and her family just moved into. Mackenize must risk her life to seek answers.
This book was
like a breath of fresh air, a fresh fantasy concept that was a bit grim but
mostly just incredibly haunting. The multifaceted plot was placed central, not
a cheesy romance like most teen fantasy books. I thought this book was pretty
incredible. I was a bit confused at first, but once I was hooked, I couldn't put this book down. Teens are going to love this creepy and intriguing murder
mystery!
