Review: The Keeper of the Key by Debra Smith
Kate, an everyday book store owner, is thrown into a world of danger after receiving a letter from her deceased husband. She follows the clues into the arms of Xander, a tough guy she can’t stop herself from responding to. Her body ignites from a single glance, and she is unable to control her passions. Despite her love they are doomed to fail, because a human can never survive a vampire’s hunger.
Xander admires the fiery temper of the seductive human he’s determined to help follow the dangerous trail her dead husband sent her on, ending in the mythical land of Shangri La. In an effort to save her, Xander bonds them together, sentencing her to death unless he can undo the blood tie. Though he craves her touch, he’s forced to push her away while they battle their way to the chaos at the heart of Shangri La. Can he protect her from her family’s secrets and find a way to be together, or will their love be lost in the pits of a crumbling castle?
This is the first book I have read by Debra Smith and with The Keeper of the Key she has made a fantastic first impression.The Keeper of the Key is a great paranormal romance full with your favorite paranormal beings like vampires and werewolves.
This story starts with Kate a strong woman that owner a book store who received a letter from her deceived husband that send her out on a mission to find Shangri La. She follows the clues her husband left her in the letter and finds herself in the hands of the seductive vampire Xander. Although the romance is high and the sex hot, Xander is scared he will drain her so he decided that he will continue to search with Kate but has to but a hold on their romance. Of course Kate had other feelings about that and will do anything to change that.
I specially liked the character Kate. Debra did a fantastic job creating her. Kate is strong woman especially with all the events and her husband’s recent death. The only thing I coult think of that would make it more intersting to read about if Kate would have taken a little bit more of time to get back together with Xander again. She just had to keep him work for it a little longer to make it perfect 🙂
The Keeper of the Key is a thrilling story full of romance, snarky comments and a kick-ass woman who knows exactly what she wants. I can’t wait to read more about Kate or from Debra Smith! I recommend this book to al paranormal romance fans.
3 1/2 – 4 stars
I grew up in the Colorado Mountains a place full of possibilities. I never found what truly made me happy until I discovered writing. I didn’t really like to read until I tried something a little different. Then like a wildfire my passion grew into a career. I’m thankful every day to have found where I belong.
