The Kept by James Scott

4.0

The Kept is a beautifully written but unsettling story of revenge and the meaning of family. Without giving away the plot, I'll say that Scott's characters are complex and compelling and the plot moves at an appropriate pace. At times, I questioned the believability of Scott's representation of Elspeth's approach to parenting Caleb on their quest, but remembering her history, her sins, and the lives they forced her and her family to live gave me resolution on this issue. Recommended.
