Gatekeepers by Robert Liparulo
Gatekeepers Book Review
The book Gatekeepers is the third book of the Dreamhouse Kings Series. In order for you to not be confused in this book, you must read the first two books. Right away in the first page it warns you to read the first two books; House of Dark Shadows and Watcher in the Woods before continuing. This book can truly seem incomplete if you have not read the first two novels. It automatically picks up from the last novel.
This book starts of where the other novel left of. It does not even introduce the characters again. This book deals with the Kings family. They’re on a mission to find their mother. Facing different obstacles on their way. Their main objective is to find their mother and be united again. But that isn't happening anytime soon in the novel. The dad eventually can't help his kids because hes taken away. The King childers -Xander, David and Toria- have inherited a great family responsibility and destiny. Although its full extent has not been revealed, we do get to see how the house starts playing games with the kids. Throughout the story, the children keep a strong head despite the fact that they are all alone in a house that is not treating them so well, and the fact that the villain of the story, Taksidian is stalking them. Several new characters are introduced and fall into the storyline. Toward the end Taksidian keeps taunting the Kings children, the dad is still not back, and there is no clue of mom. Will the Kings children be able to withstand the house and Taksidian or will they fall in defeat?
I highly recommend this book to people, especially teenagers that enjoy a horror story mixed in with high-action adventures. This book kept me at the edge of my seat with all of its action packed mysteries. I promise that once you read this book you will not regret it. I was truly fulfilled with joy at the end of the book. The ending just blew my mind.
