When a famous artist is kidnapped, the only one who can save him has a body no one can see, and a voice few can hear. Angel, spirit, or ghost - the Keeper doesn't know exactly what he is. But he knows he needs to protect Michael Delacroix, a famous artist who is kidnapped and locked in a windowless room deep beneath a Napa Valley vineyard.
Desperate to save the only person who knows he exists, the Keeper uses his abilities to convince two strong-willed women to search for Michael: a reporter who thinks her visions are signs from the Universe, and a nun who swears she hears the voice of God. Together they close in on the kidnapper - a psychotic killer who also hears a voice inside his head, pushing him toward murder. But once the Keeper learns the tragic reason he feels so connected to Michael, is it too late to save him?

Michael, whom the book is about, has a guardian of angel of sorts. Although we don’t learn until the end who he is and how he’s connected to his charge.
The storytelling is unique in how this ethereal being “pops inside heads” to tell the reader what each character is thinking or contemplating. It mostly works for this first person POV to become omnipresent but it also deterred from the story because we knew almost everything and everyone, including fears and motivations - or could guess it.
The Keeper is in a class of its own. I’ve not encountered another book quite like this.
The back story about how our villain became immersed in his madness was interesting, but it isn’t quite believable.
I liked how the first victim truly acted like a victim who slowly came to terms with a possibility of a rescue, but didn’t become heroic overnight. The secondary characters, overall, were written with care.
Michael, however, remained an enigma. I never really got to know nor care about him.
The climax seemed to drag longer than I wanted and we completely skipped over the rescue and any lingering questions or repercussions from actions.
B J Harrison made this non earthly being intriguing and captivating. I love several other narrators, but believe he was a solid choice to bring this book and its characters to life.
It’s nearly a 4 star, but not quite. But definitely out of reach for a lower 3 star rating.
