Toot's Review by Stacy Sabala

This is a prequel to The Keepers: Archer. In this book Sienna has been given her Grandmother Rose’s powers and she is still learning to control them. She refuses to ask Rose for help. She is still too angry with her. Archer tries to help her learn control.

However, Archer and Sienna are having feelings for each other which are forbidden between a keeper and his witch. They know it can never be but they can’t stop what they feel. They try and watch what they do with each other, but sometimes it proves too hard.

Archer’s siblings and fellow keepers know how he feels for Sienna. They try and help the best they can.

One night while they all volunteered for the town carnival, Sienna takes her shift in the Hall of Mirrors. During a lull of people, Sienna sees a reflection of a skeletal person next to her in the mirror. It growls and reaches for her. She flees from it and thinks that someone is playing a prank on her. She realizes after someone is found murdered in the parking lot who it was.

The Brogan brothers were back and Mason was the skeletal man.

They want to reveal their kind to the humans and need their family grimore unsealed. They need the stones and Rose to unseal it. Rose was the only one who could conger the stones in order to use them. So Mason out smarts the keepers and steals Sienna away. She becomes the pawn in his game to get what he wants. He completes a spell that compels the keepers and Sienna to meet with him and his brother to unseal the book.

Unfortunately plans don’t go as they are supposed to and Sienna’s life is changed forever.

This story gives a lot of information which helps explain the story line in The Keepers: Archer. After reading Sienna, Archer makes more sense. I wish I would have read this one first.

The events in this story reveal Sienna’s relationship with her keepers and her grandmother. It also sheds light on what happens to Sarah and how everything falls apart.

However, Sienna’s character tended to be dramatic about everything and that was a bit annoying for me to read. I would actually roll my eyes at her behavior. All in all the storyline is an interesting one. I like the idea of a witch and her protectors. It puts a new spin on a story about magic. I give it a 3 out of 5.
