I truly enjoyed this book. The Spirit Keeper kept me on the edge of my seat wondering who the bad guy was until the very end. I couldn't believe who the bad guy was at the end. I loved the ending and was extremely happy with the ending. I am definitely pleased that I got to read a copy of this amazing book by J.S. Winn who is an amazing author. I hope that everyone is able to pick up a copy of this book!!
