Back of Book:

Poppy Mosswood like most 17 year olds wants to lead a normal life. But the Mosswood family is anything but normal. Keepers protect the land from humans who would exploit it. For in the forest dwell wondrous creatures and dangerous beings. Beings that would love nothing more but to overthrow all of mankind. Ruthless billionaire Preston Buckthorn moves to town planning to marry Poppy to his son Brad. Brad wastes no time trying to win her heart but his love is warped by the taint that runs in his blood.
As Poppy is taken in by Brad's charms the appearance of a handsome stranger from the forest awakens her heart even though it is forbidden by both their worlds. From his long dark green hair to his piercing eyes, Ashtel is beautiful and powerful. He feels the danger that has emerged to threaten both of their worlds.

Torn between pledging herself as a Keeper, Brad and Ashtel, Poppy is unaware of the true identity of Preston Buckthorn and that his sinister plan includes much more then just owning Mosswood forest.

Review:

I love the way the author created the world of Mosswood forest. The people and creatures that dwell inside are imaginative yet believable. She did an excellent job of weaving it together with our modern world.

The main character struggles with finding a balance between her family's wishes and her own. 

This is something I could relate to and I am sure others will too!

This book does need some fine tuning and corrections. 

But overall I enjoyed it immensely and can not wait for the sequel!
