The Kept by James Scott

3.0

there is quite a story here but I'm not sure it's plausible, not sure I liked it. no character is sympathetic, the setting is not charming, the progression of the story is often choppy. but... I couldn't stop reading, had to know what would happen, and thus my three stars. it's a bleak novel, to put it mildly, but there are touches throughout that remind the reader that Scott is a gifted storyteller and it's worth your time to see what he has to say.
