The Gatekeeper

Otherworld Series #1

by J.A. Templeton

Ever since Brynne Davies can remember, she's had premonitory dreams and experienced terrifying powers that set her apart from everyone else. On her eighteenth birthday, her grandfather is attacked and left for dead, and Brynne is thrust into the Otherworld—a medieval-like land of beautiful immortals with amazing gifts. One of those immortals has stolen the key between the realms, and it is up to Brynne, the next gatekeeper, to reach the key before the power struggle that exists in the Otherworld occurs on earth.

Complicating her task are the members of the Royal House of Parthas, especially the king’s brother, the handsome Murdoc, Warlord of the king’s army, and then there’s the charming Fae prince who seems to always be one step ahead of her.

Time is running out for Brynne to find the key and close the door. If she doesn't, the world she left will never be the same…

J.A. Templeton has created another amazing work of art. The Gatekeeper is a remarkable story that takes you into another world. A world called Parthas. It pulled me in from page one and I had trouble putting it down for anything. The book made me laugh several occasions and had me on the edge of my seat as I fought from chewing on my nails. Each character that was introduced was fascinating to me and had me aching for more. I made predictions throughout the book; some that came true and some that did not. There were amazing twists that threw me off and others that made me tear up. I cannot wait for the next book to come out.
A big thanks for letting some readers read it prior to its release!

Umm, I think I would of like it a hole lot more, if there was hole lot less drooling over eye candy and lot more moving the story along. God what's she's like 18 and was acting like shes 13. I was rolling my eyes so much, they where almost rolling out of my head. Well on that note, if you like googly acting, over hormonal 18 year old that acts more like shes 13, then this book would be what your looking for. I gave this a 2 star because the story had potential BUT the mane caricature, her hole personality has to Gooo!!

I never liked anything to do with paranormal. But JA Templeton has raised this strong interest on paranormal books in me. I started reading her MacKinnon's Curse series, which was amazing. This new Otherworld series is crazy good as well! I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE 2ND BOOK!! I have grown to love her writing style & story development.

I received a ARC of this book. And I am so glad to have read it. Like all of J.A. Templeton's books this is another Great read.
She brings a whole other world to you. It has mystery, intrigue, backstabbing, and love all rolled in to a amazing story. I look forward to the next in the series.

As usual, excellent. I have come to expect this level of excellence from J.A. Templeton. I love her books-all of them-and she is one of the few authors I buy without reading the content blurb first.
