The Book of Doors: A Novel
Cassie spends her days working at a bookstore where she receives regular visits from Mr. Webber, who comes to enjoy a book and conversation. When the older gentleman dies, he leaves behind a mysterious book called The Book of Doors. Now she begins to see new possibilities but when a mysterious stranger saves her from a dangerous man, she learns that some will do whatever it takes to retrieve it.
The twists and turns are unexpected and are grounded with genuine heart and humanity that layers the characters. Mr. Webber is the catalyst for pulling Cassie into this other world, which creates a domino effect of events that pull her into real danger and an adventure that is action-packed and suspenseful. She has a longing in her to hold onto the past and through the book she’s able to confront other aspects of herself.
Through Cassie, you’re pulled into the mystery of what is happening, while other perspectives provide a way to understand the world and see different sides of it. Each character is understandable and well-rounded, making for an engaging villain or a charming ally. The Book of Doors is a delightful adventure with endearing characters, lots of heart, and magical books.
