Summon the Keeper DAW paperback A very funny start to what may be a new series from a talented Canadian author. Claire Hansen is a Keeper, a direct descendent of Adam and Lilith, and one of the Earth's protectors. On her way to answer a summons, she and her talking cat Austin stop at the Elysian Fields Guesthouse... where the next morning Claire awakens to find herself the new owner. The Elysian Fields is far more than it appears, for its inhabitants include a lascivious French ghost, an attractive young caretaker named Dean, a woman who's been asleep in Room Six for decades -- and a hole to Hell in the furnace room. Claire has to seal the hole to Hell quickly without awakening the occupant of Room Six, while simultaneously resisting the charms of an amorous ghost, fighting her attraction to the friendly Dean, and dealing with an impetuous younger sister with more power than common sense. |

No QuarterDAW Sequel to Fifth Quarter, this one should outsell anything else Tanya has done. Terrific plot, well-drawn characters, fine pacing, I remember stopping three quarters of the way through and thinking: Yes! Tanya has captured it in a perfect, pristine, poignant moment. |
