(  )AlmaB | Jun 16, 2009 |   Claire, a Keeper, is summoned to a bed and breakfast and summarily tricked into ownership. She must try to close a hole to Hell, deal with a randy ghost, a too-sweet handsome handyman, fend off demons, monsters and a nosy neighbor, AND renovate, all while trying *not* to disturb the evil keeper sleeping upstairs. This was VERY funny - a charming, wonderful and entertaining read. (  )59Square | Mar 13, 2009 | I liked this book. Lots of faults, namely all the characters seem to be made of the same sarcastic mold, but a very entertaining read. I especially like the character of Hell, and it's resigned attitude toward the situation. Also, the writer knows cats. When the cat was introduced, I was worried the cat would be an all knowing know it all, and Austin is, but as Claire, the Keeper says, He's just a cat, and cats are contrary. Definitely a book I will be reading again. (  )TheDivineOomba | Feb 25, 2009 | Claire, a Keeper, is summoned to a bed and breakfast and summarily tricked into ownership.

I do hope she has written more about Austin, Claire and her nutty as family. ( )TheOneTree | Apr 7, 2008 | 2.240 seconds to build listing  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com (ISBN 0886777844, Paperback)Ever notice that the boundary between the supernatural and mundane worlds is very thin in eastern Canada? Tanya Huff made Toronto a vampire territory and hotbed of evil eruptions (Blood Price, Blood Trail, Blood Lines, Blood Pact, Blood Debt). Now she moves to Kingston, Ontario, for Summon the Keeper.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 (retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:19 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
