A review by moonlit_dewdrops
The Keeper of Night by Kylie Lee Baker

5.0

Spoiler

I can genuinely say that Kylie Lee Baker is now an auto-read author for me!

The worldbuilding and fantasy elements in this book were really good with the various elements of Japanese elements/mythology creatures such as yokai, kitsune, yumi, and shinigami being weaved into the plot. The MC female character is no nonsense badass and I am here for it! Oh and did I mention she is also morally gray?

I also really liked how the book addressed the racism that mixed Asians face in real life, which I assume the author wrote based on her own experience. I think it's very important to write about such experiences through books and bring awareness to them.

Another thing I loved about this book is the focus on the relationship between the two siblings and it wasn't just focused on the romance aspects of it. While I'm all for romance, I think it is very important to also write about platonic relationships.

Overall I enjoyed this book a lot! It had an engaging plot and setting and the characters were interesting and well-written

THAT ENDING had me gasping in shock (HIRO WHY). NEVEN was right all along. Be careful who trust! Be wary of handsome strangers!
