The town of Anton has kept the secret of Aksonas farm for
generations. The people of Anton whisper and worry their
children will be chosen and cursed to live an unnatural with
the family of wolves. The townspeople throw themselves into
their religion in hopes to keep the curse from claiming
them and their loved ones.
When the moon rises, the men in Olivia's family become
wolves and prowl the countryside to protect their farm from
predators. Their world is turned upside down when Olivia
stumbles upon the body of the church caretaker on their
land. She fears that one of the family has lost control.
She struggles on what to do. Does she go to the local
Sheriff or does she allow this man's family wonder what has
happened to him.
When Olivia decides to go to the Sheriff for help solving
the murder, her family turns on her. She is no longer
welcome at the farm. Having no where else to go, she is
forced to face the townspeople and the one person she didn't
want to have to face, her mother.
When the Sheriff determines that the man was killed
somewhere else and not on the Aksonas farm, Olivia has hope
that her family will be cleared and everything can go back
to normal, or as normal as things get on the farm.
The last person Olivia expected of hurting her family had
been someone she felt close to. Someone who was not part of
the farm and she has know most of her life.
I really enjoyed THE KEEPER. I was quite surprised that this
was the Kim Despins first novel. Her writing is fantastic!
Her characters are wonderful and the plot kept me turning
the pages. I also love the new twist Kim Despin puts on her
werewolves. I can't wait to see if there will be any more
novels in the future!
