The Story Keeper E/a/I by Anna Mazzola
5.0
I have to say I loved this gothic story, it is not the typical book I am attracted to, but everything from this book got me intrigued; the plot sounded original and you have to admit that the cover is quite interesting too, but nothing prepared me for loving this book so much, is a must read!
The story may seem simple, a young woman is trying to escape from her family and travels to the Isle of Skye, answering for a job offer, searching for oral folk tales. But this is not the only motive Audrey Hart has to move over there, her mother died at the Isle of Skye a long time ago, and she wants to connect with her, to discover why she fall in love with the island…
This is one of those books that while you are reading it you’ll feel transported inside the story, you’ll be surrounded by dark birds and scary characters and even you’ll be afraid of being alone. Some young girls are disappearing and no one is interested in them, only Audrey, this will put her life at risk, but she is a really brave woman and is ready to fight anything and anyone to discover the truth.
This book has made me re-think the oral stories I’ve always knew, because I think almost all of them have a good ending contrarily to the folk tales told in this book in which all have a dark side!
This is a gripping, intriguing and hunting book that has a sentence that I’ll keep with me forever:
“Words Will Never Break Me”
