A review by corrompido
The Kept by James Scott

2.0

2 stars might be a bit harsh, but I struggled to get through this book and the ending left me unsatisfied. The writing itself was pretty interesting, as was the premise of the story. The book follows two members of a family who survive after men come and kill the rest of their family on a remote farm in upstate new york in the 1800s. The setting was one of the best parts of the book, and while the writing itself was interesting the way the story was constructed made it hard to enjoy. Interesting book, but ultimately failed to really draw me in.
