Book Review For Guardian Of The Dead by Karen Healey

Seventeen year old Ellie Spencer is just like any other teenager at her boarding school. She hangs out with her best friend Kevin, she obsesses over Mark a cute and mysterious bad boy and her biggest worry is her paper deadline. But then everything changes. The news headlines are all a buzz about a local string of killings that share the same morbid trademark, the victims were all discovered with their eyes missing. Then a beautiful but eerie woman enters Ellie's circle of friends, and develops an unhealthy fascination with Kevin, and a crazed old man grabs Ellie in a public square and shoves a tattered bible in her hands, exclaiming you need it; it will save your soul. Soon Ellie finds herself plunged into a haunting world of vengeful fairies in an epic battle for immortality.

Guardian Of The Dead was definitly a page turner. It had a little bit of everything, Mystery, Fantasy and even a bit of horror. I was sucked in right away and found myself pondering the story even when I wasn't reading. It will definitly keep you engrossed, trying to figure out all the mysterious things going on. And on top of all of that Ellie is a very likeable character. She had me rooting for her two pages in. All I can say after reading this book is GO READ IT!!
