Necropolis follows the fifth and final child that makes up the five gate keepers. This book follows Scarlett Adams, the only female gatekeeper. She was adopted by a British couple and grew up in the UK. But when she takes a school trip to a Church she has a vision of Matt and he leads her to a door where she is teleported to Ukraine to a monastery of monks who worship the Old Ones. they imprison her.

Necropolis follows Scarlett's journey as she tries to find the other gatekeepers and discovers her power.

I'd recommend this book to anyone who is a fan of this series (because it wouldn't make sense reading the fourth book in a series without reading the others) and if you like action novels.

Honestly was lowkey disappointed, it was long and kinda boring. I originally wanted to give it 1 star but the last chapter was pretty good and now i can't wait to read the last volume.

Dear Anthony Horowitz,
Why do you always kill me at the end of these books? They are great but WHY???? So much blood and death...God!

3-3.5 stars, I'm not sure.
The problem is that everything is a bit too convenient to me. Every time there's a problem, it gets solved in the next 5 pages.

Book four in the Gatekeeper series.

We finally meet the fifth gatekeeper, Scarlett. Unfortunately for her and the other gatekeepers, the Old Ones know who she is and will do everything in their power to stop the five gatekeepers from coming together and joining their power.

A thrilling page-turner with a cliffhanging ending that will leave readers eager for the final book.
