About this ebook
Aaron and Kyle have just learned two things: the world is full of unseen magical creatures, and some of them are rather angry.
As the newest members of the Gatekeepers, they must race around the world, and against the clock, to stop the Lord of the Damned before he enslaves every living being to his wicked will.

Josh is just like all of you. He works a blue-collar job, has a cozy little family, and lives in suburbia. He has been in the habit of writing down the more outrageous elements of his imagination and is eternally grateful that the powers-that-be have deemed his daydreams to be worthy of publication. He likes to spend his free time with his family and friends, discussing just how strange social norms can be. Josh fully plans to write about this someday, he just need to sit still long enough to put these oddities on paper.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Very Solid.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Aaron is an ordinary college student who takes a job at a funeral parlor to help pay for school. There he meets Kyle, who turns out to be one of the walking dead and also a reaper. Together they must police the underworld and protect the gate between worlds. Of course nothing about this newfound job of gatekeeping is easy and Aaron and Kyle find themselves facing off with the Lord of the Damned in an effort to save humanity.I thought this was a pretty good read, it was quick and fun and I enjoyed the story. I didn't fully connect with all of the characters, perhaps that could be improved with some more in depth character development. I also thought it was a bit rushed at times. All in all a good read.I received a copy of this book from the publisher via the Early Reviewers program in exchange for an honest review.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I loved the premise of this book. Two friends, racing to stop the ultimate evil from entering the world. A setup for a globe (and realm) trotting adventure. My biggest issues were the character development was a bit uneven and the pacing was too. Overall enjoyed the story, and with a little more work this could easily be a four or five star book.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Reaper: Book One of the Gatekeepers has plenty of elements that should have kept my interest. It's not that the intended audience is teens and I'm 65. Today I read two of Phoebe Rivers' Saranormal books, which are set in middle school, and I could hardly put them down. I like the premise. I like the action. I appreciate the appendices and character list. I also appreciate the number of female characters who aren't damsels in distress.Where this book failed to capture me was in its characters. The only one who came alive for me was Lilith, who is in only one chapter. Aaron Argent, Kyle Diselberg, and Alicia don't do anything for me. I rather liked Violet the librarian, but she's a supporting character. Do I think that fantasy, horror, and adventure-loving adolescents will like this book? Yes. I can't recommend it unreservedly for older readers, though.
