Scarlet and the Keepers of Light Scarlet Hopewell Series Book 1 eBook Brandon Charles West

My only complaint is that there is no plot resolution at the end of the book, and I resent being left with what amounts to a cliffhanger ending. Yes, the resolution is foreshadowed and we expect good to triumph over evil, but when I buy a book I expect it to have a satisfactory conclusion, solving the original conflict. Fortunately the second book is available now, and between both I have spent a whopping $.99, so I really can't complain. But if I had more money invested in the first, I'd be aggravated and simply move on to a different novel or series that didn't leave readers hanging.

With that rant out of the way, the writing is polished, pacing is good, characters are likable, and the adventure is fun and very imaginative for fantasy readers of any age.

Scarlet and the Keepers of Light Scarlet Hopewell Series Book 1 eBook Brandon Charles West Reviews

Scarlet and the Keepers of the Light is a keepsake in the making. I fully intend to purchase this book and the rest of the series for my 'keeper' shelf, as well as copies for my local and school libraries. I love this book myself and my little boy has already insisted that I read it to him again. The story is engaging, drawing you into Scarlet's world with a puppy who is more than he seems and leading you on paths through danger to wonder. Scarlet and the Keepers of the Light contains values more than preaches values - you're not accosted with a 'message', you're shown how Scarlet copes with being responsible for something much bigger than she is, how she copes with learning that she can do much more than she ever thought she could, and how valuable family and friendship is.
Of course Dakota is my favorite. The mysterious Chosen is an intriguing character. Can't wait to read the second book in this saga.
Scarlet is a human who did not know she had a special talking dog /wolf. Who also is has to save the world with some very special light she did not now she had inside of her and has to learn how to use the light within ,while not getting killed,no pressure for a young teen. Was an entertaining read
This is an enchanting book. A simple, classic fairytale that is timeless. The good vs evil plot was well done and I love the world and the characters the author created.It's something all little girls will adore, but the author doesn't talk down to the reader so adults can enjoy it as well. I think it's refreshing that it doesn't have the main character chasing after boys & caring what everyone at school thinks of her, what she'll wear, or wanting to be popular, it's more family oriented. She's easy for girls to identify with, and sets a great example. It's chock full of confidence boosting girl power messages, and all about having tenacity to see things through and to do a great job at whatever you do. Animal lovers will enjoy this book. It also has a great father/daughter bond that warmed my heart and made me miss my own dearly departed dad. This book was a pleasure to read.
This is a book to read to your children or grandchildren as the story is lively, full of adventure, dangers but mostly hope. But for those young advanced readers where they can read and understand adult college-level writing....this is an answer to the parents prayers. A must read...and great book for both children and adults. No sexual matter or drugs. Violence...well, battles between good and evil... but magic helps with that a bit!
I got this book for free after seeing it on one of my free book lists. I did not know the author or the series but the description made me want to try it out. The book was interesting and a fast read. I usually shy away from books that might possibly have "Harry Potter" like story lines because they always pale in comparison. I did not find myself making that comparison in this case and actually enjoyed Scarlet Hopewell's mission and quest, and all of the people and creatures who assisted in guiding her. I would buy further books in the series to find out what happens to Scarlet and her friends.
I picked this book to read as something to quickly read and expected very little from it, but I was pleasantly entertained by the easy read. I teach middle school students, and I imagine our 6th grade students and upper elementary students would enjoy this book the most because of the interesting cast of characters and short chapters that tend to move quickly in terms of plot. With this being the first book, I feel like there is still a little flatness to some of the characters; there is so much more that I want to learn about Delfi, Brennan, the Lord of the Wolves, and Chosen, and I hope the rest of the books inform us of those mysterious backgrounds that seem to be repeatedly placed on hold because time is not allowing questions to be asked. This is probably my only complaint about the book, but I can only think of praise for the rest of this review. There is a strong presence of parental and elderly guidance, and Scarlet appreciates and respects their advice and authority, which is refreshing to see since most series written for this age group contains moody, rebellious, "self sufficient" teens that either have no parents to respect or have parents who might as well be absent or who are monsters for parenting. While the mother character tends to fall flat in her reactions to events, the father seems to be well portrayed as a caring, protective provider, which may be because of the author's status as a father of girls. It is because of this inclusion of healthy familial ties that I am giving a 4 rather than a 3 star rating that I originally thought to give for the lack of character development in this first installment.
My only complaint is that there is no plot resolution at the end of the book, and I resent being left with what amounts to a cliffhanger ending. Yes, the resolution is foreshadowed and we expect good to triumph over evil, but when I buy a book I expect it to have a satisfactory conclusion, solving the original conflict.
