About the Book The Gatekeeper’s Descendant’s

Every choice he makes complicates his life. When a teen has a chance at redemption, can he find his way back or remain forever cursed?

1973. Thirteen-year-old Matthew Mackenzie struggles to fit in. Unable to come to terms with his father’s passing five years prior, he tries to sidestep unwanted attention from violent bullies by telling little white lies. But when a fistfight lands him on the brink of death, he’s shocked when he finds himself hovering outside his beaten body in the company of an overly friendly spirit.

Pipiera avoids change at all costs. As assistant to the head gatekeeper of an ethereal kingdom, she’s less than thrilled when she’s sent to Earth to aid a traumatized boy headed down a dark road. But when a supernatural rebel interferes with her job, the bright-eyed being fears she’ll blunder her mission.

As Matthew feels the pull of adventure from his suspicious new friend, he worries that he may never be able to right all of his wrongs. And as Pipiera continues to fail to influence Matthew, she finds herself caught in an adversary’s web of deceit.

Can Matthew and Pipiera steer clear of the trap and reach the path of enlightenment?

My Thoughts on The Gatekeeper’s Descendant’s 

Okay, this is a rather unique read.  I’m not sure I’ve read one like it.  You get sucked into the world of the story very easily.  And then it’s hard to get back out.  It’s hard to separate yourself from the story as well.  The author did a good job with this one though there were a few times I did get a smidge confused. 

This is definitely not my favorite genre but I did enjoy the read and it is a clean book so I can pass it on to my children to read who do love this type of story!

I loved the idea that every person comes into our life for a reason.  It’s something I try to think about in my life.  Why are they in my life?  What can I do to make their life better or be a positive influence on them?  It’s actually a bit intimidating when you think about whether you’re going to be a good influence on them or not!

Matthew was a very good character.  He was well fleshed out and had a lot of stuff going on in his life.  I enjoyed getting to know him as a character.  I did find Pipiera a bit different but I think that’s the point!
