false 60738 3 Claire Hansen, the Keeper, is summoned to the Elysian Fields Guest House to reseal a hole in the basement, which is literally an opening to Hell. The owner and monitor of the site disappears, leaving Claire stuck managing the place until the problem is solved. Her new employee, Dean McIssac, is a gorgeous Newfie who cooks, cleans, and lives the Boy Scout oath. Then there's Jacques Labaet: very French Canadian, very sexy, very dead. Jacques is a ghost who wants to be the man in Claire's life. Oh yeah, and there's Austin, a talking cat with attitude: "I barely know you, but I'm assuming you're human. I'm not saying this is a good thing, it's just the way it is." Huff keeps the plot moving and the quips coming to the very end. Fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter series will find this novel light but refreshing. --Nona Vero 1300549 1 5 1998 Summon the Keeper (Keeper's Chronicles Book 1) total:571|5:189|4:206|3:138|2:34|1:4| 571 2255 780 44 60738 0886777844 9780886777845 569 43 3.95 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/60738.Summon_the_Keeper 4 2 false Mon Dec 22 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 22 06:13:00 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 22 06:20:28 -0800 2008
