Book Review: ‘The Keepers Of Metsan Valo: A Novel’ By Wendy Webb

A small island in Lake Superior is the setting for this well-written book full of suspense and magic. Just what is the secret of Metsan Valo? For Anni Hall she’s about to find out. After the death of her Grandmother the dysfunctional family gets together and hears the reading of the will. Everyone gets something but Anni gets the house and most of the estate. She’s now the ‘Keeper’ and she doesn’t know yet what that means but she’s about to find out. Strange things start to happen to her family. Her mother is in a mysterious coma with no medical reason why. Her aunt is in a car accident. And Anni soon learns that in order to protect her family and Metsan Valo she needs to learn the secrets of her past and her ancestors in order to move forward and keep her family together. I really like this book. If you’re a fan of mysterious, magical elements this is right up your alley. Secrets and twists and turns keep the reader engaged throughout.
