The Book of Doors | by Gareth Brown




Expected Publication Date: Feb 13 2024

I am not usually a fan of books that deal with fantasy. Imagine my surprise when I not only took a chance on this book but ended up loving it!

Cassie Andrews it a bookseller. She works at a book shop in New York. A customer who she had become friendly gifts her The Book of Doors but this is no ordinary book. The Book of Doors is full of squiggles and drawings that make no sense but under all of that lays a power.  A power that can harbor danger. A power that can be used for good or evil. 

Cassie along with her bestfriend and roommate discover the power of the Book of Doors. It allows them to transport from one area to another. During her travels she meets Drummond Fox. Drummond is the librarian - the keeper of the books. Drummond warns Cassie and tells her about other books similar to hers that exist. The books are all unique and have their own power. An evil woman is in search of books and has a need to collect them all and become more powerful. She is feared. Cassie joins Drummond in an effort to discover the mystery and the power behind  the books and protect the book of doors. 

The Book of Doors if full of twists and turns. It is beautifully written which is impressive as this is a debut novel. 


* I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
