The Book of Em
The Book of Em: A Dragon's Tears
“I hate you,” Cree moaned. They lay flat on their backs on top of the supplies, the ceiling spinning above, gasping for breath. “Some partner you are. You puked on me!”
“It’s your fault,” Ben wheezed. “I wouldn’t have barfed on you, if you hadn’t barfed on me first.”
Sixteen-year old Ben is the Last Gatekeeper, tasked with closing the portals between the world of man and the world of Em -- a magical land created to protect creatures of myth that once existed in the old world.
After successfully closing the gate in the Center Lands, Ben and Cree, along with the others, journey to the Northern Mountains to close the second gate. Unfortunately, things don’t go the way they’ve planned at all. Barely a day passes where their lives aren’t in mortal danger. To make matters worse, the waters of Ben’s relationship with his half-breed faerie mate, Cree, are anything but tranquil. And if that isn’t bad enough, he doesn’t even know the location of the second gate he’s supposed to close.
From ravenous wolves, to dragons; every encounter is fraught with danger and delight. Facing seemingly insurmountable obstacles the entire way, Ben and the others are determined to complete their mission, or die trying.

Really good book!
This is book 2 in the series. Dragons, faeries, gnomes, all kinds of magical beings, evil doers doing evil deeds, and the Last Gatekeeper to protect Em...what could possibly go wrong? Well, enough could go wrong to keep the reader’s interest through the whole book. I was looking forward to reading the next one but there doesn’t seem to be anymore yet!

Enjoyed but disappointed
Not as good as the first in the series, because of poor writing and lack of editing!!
The other issue I have is with the sheriff being referred to as 'the middle-aged woman.'
Bob is the same age, he wasn't called the middle-aged man.
We have been left hanging, will the story be finished in the future.
