Kellen St. James is just your average seventeen-year-old prodigy, but with a Yale degree, a photographic memory, and an addiction to everything 80s.

But what’s not so average about Kellen is the girl who’s been haunting his dreams for the last eleven years. When the sudden death of his grandmother takes him from the East Coast to the Irish Coast, he finds himself face to face with his own personal ghost and finds out that she’s just as real as he is. Plus she’s come spinning a tale about an ancient prophecy in which Kellen plays a key role.

Together they will travel through an underworld of faeries and demons, angels and gods, not to mention a really ticked off pack of wild dogs, all in order to save the world from darkness. But will they make it in time?

My thoughts:

This was a really well written book. I was completely entertained. Keyes knows her characters well and they interact with each other so naturally and the story flows easily and pulls you along for the ride. I particularly enjoyed her descriptions of the various settings, especially his Grandma’s cottage. It sounded so lovely, I wished I was there. An all around terrific debut!
