Uncover the Void
I don’t care what the temperature is outside, you’re gonna need to turn up the air conditioning to read this one. We get to learn some interesting secrets about Keaton’s past and some hints about what might be going on now. Plus, we get to see Keaton and Kara starting to mesh as a couple – I say starting because there’s still so many misunderstandings between them. As we get more clues about what’s happening in the Void, I’m more curious than ever to uncover the rest of the story.
Feed the Void
Well, that ending is beginning to make things make sense. We learn a couple of new things in this latest instalment, and I think they’re very important things. I’m just desperate at this point for Kara and Keaton to find that place in their relationship where they can come together, trust one another, and become a real team. Right now, they’re so toxically co-dependent it’s almost painful for me to read because it reminds me too much of my own past mistakes. However it plays out, I’m very curious to see what’s going to happen next.
Release the Void
On the cusp of learning several truths that have been kept from her, Kara is also surrounded by betrayal. She has important decisions to make, but will she be able to? And will she be able to protect all the people she cares about? I’m more than a little speechless after that ending, and now I’m kind of desperate to learn what’s going to happen next.
Beyond the Void
Kara’s just about to achieve everything she’s been working towards. Or is she? Nothing and no one are quite what she’s expecting. Will Kara and Keaton get everything their hearts desire or has the Prince outmaneuvered them again? This book springs some serious surprises on us and I still haven’t figured out if all of them are good or bad. I loved seeing Kara and Keaton come to some important realizations about their relationship, and voice them to one another.

Book 5- Uncover The Void:
Kara is fuming Keaton has gone off and left her alone again. He says he’s protecting her but she wants to be part of the search for her brother. Kara is also struggling with feelings she has for Keaton and he is doing the same. While they struggle to find their footing in this relationship and to find her brother someone is hunting Kara. A bounty on her head but who and why, unclear. Emotions are high, ghosts and secrets of the past are revealed and the search for Kara’s brother turns very interesting in this latest installment of Keepers of the Crypt.
Book 6- Feed The Void:
I want to start of by saying I like these books. I like the concept, the world and the characters. What’s frustrating is that it seems like every bit of progress is almost immediately reversed and then some. One step forward ten steps back. Each book we get a drop of a clue and then it’s over and we have to wait. Kara and Keaton are in the same holding pattern where neither wants to reveal their true feelings regardless of the fact that it would bond them closer and strengthen them. I think what it all boils down to is that essentially your reader a long chapter of a book. I’d rather have the whole book at once than these bits and pieces. Is it a good story, yes. Is it entertaining yes. Is it something I recommend reading absolutely with the caveat that you’ll probably enjoy it more if you just wait til the serial is fully released. That’s my two cents. Your mileage may vary.
Book 7- Release The Void:
I’m sorry to say that I’m starting to get frustrated with this series. I feel like the progress made is one step forward ten steps back. We get little snippets of the story and I have to go back and reread the prior books to be caught up due to the time elapsed between releases which is irritating to me. There was so much build up to Kara finding her brother, bits and pieces of backstory and truth bombs were dropped but never fully explained. Now we get to this installment only to find the villain is a bit cliche and our heroine is given an impossible choice. I’m not sure I like where this could be going and furthermore I’m not sure I want to wait and see only to get another small snippet and have the story be dragged out further. This is my experience. Your mileage may vary.
Book 8- Beyond The Void:
In the end all we really have is love if we’re lucky. So an impossible choice maybe is t so impossible. How do you choose between your husband and your brother you pick the one who’s got your back always. So this crazy journey comes down to love and trust. A most unique couple but hey opposites attract.
It’s a little violent, a little dirty sexy, a bit graphic but it’s raw honesty. It’s a good wrap up to the storyline.

Uncover the Void Bk5:
Kara and Keaton are back in book five of the Keepers of the Crypt Saga. There's a lot going on in this book from searching for Kara's brother, a growing number of enemies, finding out more about Keaton's past, and more secrets are revealed. With all that going on we still get the steam, humor, unexpected twists, and an ending that left me ready for book six.
Feed the Void Bk6:
Kara and Keaton are back in book six in the Keepers of the Crypt Saga. Kara and Keaton go through a lot in this book and leaving Kara (and me) with more questions than answers. Just when I thought this was the final book in this series this book ends on a cliffhanger. I can't wait to read what happens next in this page turning series.
Release the Void Bk7:
Kara and Keaton's story continues in book seven of the Keepers of the Crypt Saga. This book picks up where book six Feed the Void left off. This is a quick read and a great addition to the series. The writing is well done, the characters are well developed, and the story is filled with secrets, betrayals, action, unexpected twists, mystery, steam, and an ending that left me ready for the next book.
Beyond the Void Bk8:
Just as Kara is about to get her happily ever after something happens that had me screaming no way! Talk about an epic conclusion to the Keepers of the Crypt Saga. I was not expecting that twist but I loved getting to read this series. From the unexpected twists and surprises to the humor and steam, this is a great ending to the series. I look forward to the next captivating series by this talented author.

Book five
This series just Continues to get better and better! Kara & Keaton are back and their relationship is heating up!! They are a fantastic couple who like a lot of married couples have misunderstandings and keep things from each other which is not always a good thing but We do learn some secrets from Keatons past and a little more about her brother. Dark, steamy, exciting and full of mystery, this series definitely has me hooked!
Book six
This is an awesome series that just gets better and better with each instalment as the author builds up the anticipation to whatever comes next. There’s so many secrets and twists and untruths being spun that Kara doesn’t know what to believe. Keaton is off god know where and with the prince twittering her ear, who does Kara listen to? It’s a suspenseful read, gripping and exciting and we also are left with so many more questions! I am eager for more!
Book 7
This is a fantastic addition to this series as more secrets and lies come to light. The prince is trying to spilt up Kara and Keaton by tricking her into returning to the void whilst Keaton is not too happy with this. They are a great couple and their relationship goes from strength to strength despite the betrayals, the complications and the twists and turns thrown their way.
Book 8
This has been one hell of a series and its conclusion is simply epic. It’s been one hell of a ride, intense, exciting and the twists and turns just blew my mind. With incredible characters, some humour and a whole lotta steam, there’s drama, action and surprises, this has been great to immerse myself into and the author has done a great job with the ending.

Kara returns and her and Keaton seem to finally be on the right path to happy. They are still learning, growing and adjusting to each. They have unexpected visitors and are moving closer to their goals. There are questions, twist, suspenseful action, danger, mayhem, mystery and drama. This series is epic and exciting. Kara finally finds what she was looking for but her sigh of relief is very short lived. Choices have to be made and nothing is what it seems. More answers are revealed and betrayal is at its core. The love, the heat and the all consuming chemistry between Kara and Keaton is so amazing and palpable But, there are something’s that just can’t be forgiven.

Keepers of the Crypt Episodes 5-8 is a fantastic box set. It is the second that represents this series. The series itself is a never-ending cycle of drama, action, steamy hot romance, suspense, and many layers of mystery that do not begin to get resolved until the last two books in the box set. The storyline is a bit gritty, and the characters are over the top but in a way that makes them believable in a paranormal world. It all just works.

Welcome to the last four books of the series.
This is an urban fantasy series with an academy setting. The stories are well written and easy to read with a well developed setting that is fun to explore. There are also lots of characters, but they are well developed and diverse. Overall, the stories move along at a fast pace and certainly kept my interest. This batch wraps up the series and I look forward to more from this author.
Highly recommended.

I really enjoyed this set of action-packed stories for Kara and Keaton. We pick up where Book 4 or Boxset 1-4 leaves us. As with the previous set I found myself reading late into the night. I just couldn't stop. With just the right amount of spice this is one paranormal adventure you want to tag along on. I could not have asked for a better ending to an amazing series and, as always, I wait with bated breath for the next wonderful world bestowed upon us by Isadora Brown. But seriously, I'm excited!.

Keaton is the ultimate bad boy!
I devoured this four-book set in one day! I couldn’t put it down, or go to bed until I finished it. Keaton is everything a “bad boy” loving girl could want and he’s all wrapped up in hellish magic like the best present ever! Kara can’t get enough of his style of loving and neither could I. The steamy scenes were great but so was the paranormal action. I received a free copy of this book but my review is honest and voluntary.

I enjoy book sets because you can keep reading and not forget about things that had happened in the previous books. This set goes deeper into what is happening and how Kara is the key to everything. Ambrose did surprise me and made me wonder why. This series is good and Keaton does grow on you.I would recommend reading the series.

Kara and Keaton are back and so is the craziness that they are so good at finding. They are so cute together and an enjoyed watching the fun as they unearth secrets and surprises along the way as they search for Kara's brother. So many nail biting moments that kept me glued to the end to see what would happen next. And Kara and Keaton are really the fun part of this series an never know what Keaton would do next. And the ending was killer and I loved it.

This second half of the series was even better than the first!
Full of action, betrayal and one heck of a plot twist. Plus enough spice to make your toes curl!!
Again I loved that this had beetlejuice vibes. It was creepy and delicious.
Ended a bit abruptly but they got there happily ever after which looked doubtful countless times.
I love Isadora’s books and would recommend them to anyone who loves fantasy, romance and things a little bit dark 💜

This was an extremely enjoyable finish to this series. It left me with a couple of questions but not enough to matter to me. The pace kept moving and kept it exciting for me. It was as pleasurable as I had hoped.
