The Blood Keeper- Tessa Gratton

A sensuous tale of passion,violence,sacrifice,heartbreak,love,yearning and dread. Feelings bleed from every page of 'The Blood Keeper' . Mab Powed, a bloodwitch and  the uncontested guardian of bloodmagic only wanted to understand  the cursed roses under her window. Will Sanders , a young highschool star soccer player with a complicated family only wanted to get rid of his nightmares/demons/fears. Yet, when a spell cast by Mab to understand those Rosebushes gets completely out of hand and literally crashes into Will their destinies becomes intertwined. Will never believed in magic but when Mab crashes into his world he is forced to concede that maybe there indeed is more to this world than our eyes can meet. 

Mab does not want to get sucked  into will's world as humans can be scary and confusing. But Will seems different somehow. She is certain that she does not want to fall in love but she can't help it.
Two love stories told side by side. One of the past and another of present. A gothic tale of blood,terror,darkness,horror and as a cherry-on-top a villain from the past who is hell bent on getting  Mab and her powers for himself  while taking over Will's body . A terrible curse that began two generations before, centuries ago buried now unleashed and awake to take it's revenge upon the kin of the curse giver. A family torn by misunderstandings and tragedy. Brother seperated by distance, powers just waiting to be called upon to unleash their fury. A terrific tale told in modern gothic  style. 'The Blood Keeper' has all  to keep the atmosphere charged with anticipation and excitement. And as the first page of the book says

"This is a love letter
   And a confession"

'The Blood Keeper' has lots to confess and  a secret love story  forgotten by time just waiting to be told again.
