I’m not saying I want people to die every time something goes wrong but I did expect things in the infamous Quag to put up more of a challenge than they did. Bad things happen, somebody has a realization, and then things are rectified. Everything is altogether too convenient and, oddly enough, easy. The most annoying thing about The Keeper is its convenience. The story itself moves at a relatively brisk pace and keeps you turning the pages.īut that’s about where the good part ends. The main characters that you really liked in The Finisher return with the determination, strength, and warmth that works for them. It also has some very interesting characters, creatures, and scenarios. The Keeper has some things really going for it, such as the creativity of the very concept of the Quag itself.

The Keeper is Book 2 of the Vega Jane trilogy and follows The Finisher. Unfortunately, it falls quite short of its prequel, leaving you with a book that you don’t hate, but wish you could like more. But the Quag wants more – it wants to break her. Can Vega Jane survive the Quag? Or will she, and the only two beings she can truly lean and rely on, pay the price for disobeying the laws of Wormwood? What Vega Jane discovers, strengthens and weakens her at the same time. It holds the truth for which Vega Jane so desperately searched.īut some truths are better left buried. An organism that has a life of its own, it holds the truth about the world and life that, as Vega Jane had discovered, was nothing short of a lie. Because the Quag holds much more than the terrors that are meant to keep Wugs away – it holds the secrets of an age-old legend, lost over time. But, as she soon realizes, a nightmare is only the beginning. The moment she stepped into the Quag with her best friend and her dog, Vega Jane knew that the journey ahead was going to be nothing short of a nightmare.
