What you don't know about yourself really can be dangerous! This was a really good read about a guy in his senior year of high school who has big plans for his life. His life is very predictable until the first day of school rolls around and he claps eyes the new girl, Lisa, at school. He is instantly attracted to her, but finds that her attraction to him might be for different reasons.Brendon has a secret heritage that his mother knows about, but won't tell him. He has vague memories of his childhood before his dad's death and the death itself, he cannot remember at all. Lisa is fascinated by the burn scar on his chest. This causes him to think that she is not interested in him and it takes a little time for them to get the motives and misunderstandings straightened out. All the while, Brendon no sooner tries to fall asleep each night then he is visited by the nightmare of a half man- half rat creature, Lisa, and some other man he has never met. To make things get even more unusual, he is visited by the spirit of his grandfather and then the man from his dream along with one other person all driving him to fulfill his purpose.
Lisa's father, an anthropologist, who was following the trail laid out by an old ship's log and ends up getting himself possessed by a demon. It is her belief that someone who has a talisman with the same symbolism that Brendon bares on his chest can perform an exorcism on her father.
Much of the story develops against the backdrop of a normal small town high school group of friends during their school year. There is the usual teen angst accompanying Brendon and Lisa's budding romance with the added fun of two very involved mothers who both doubt the intentions of their child's date (refreshing since stories revolving around teens usually have absentee or clueless parents).
The grand finale was spectacular and tense. I will offer up no spoilers.
The characters were good. I liked Brendon and Lisa (though I got annoyed when she often jumped to the worst conclusions about Brendon). Brendon's friend, Carson, was probably my favorite character of the high school group. He was just so laid back and happy go lucky that he even got Lisa's mom, Monica to chill with them. Both teens have lovely well drawn families and they provide some good scenes when their in the picture. I loved it when Brendon's little brother slapped him once to wake him up from a nightmare and then again to wake him up from a hot dream about Lisa.
The plot was well done unfolding at a good pace to keep up interest and sometimes suspense. There is a demon in the book, but the focus is not really on the demon until its time to do something about it and that's okay. The romance was the sweet angsty sort where its a tug of war each time they're left alone to see if they can keep it from getting beyond first base- not that either mom would let it.
For those who need to know some additional deets, there is language though infrequent, underage drinking, but no sex.
I found this a nice read that I had no desire to put down and I definitely want to read book two because it ended abruptly (not cliffhanger abrupt) right after all the culmination of the demon battle.

Shadow Keeper M K Yarbrough 9781461142072 Books Reviews
This book is for Y/A and I am older, but stilled liked the story. It is a mixture of teenage dating,first love,family secrets, and a demon. I also would have liked alittle more background on the Shaman/Medicine man Native American aspect of the book. Brendon is a typical high schooler, getting good grades and playing sports so he can go to college on a scholarship. He lives at home with his grandma, mother and sister and brother. Thier dad died a few years back. Hanging out with his friends before school one day, he see's a new girl get out of a hummer. He and his friends introduce themselves to her, she says her name is Lisa Stratton. Brendon is drawn to her, but she is shy at first. After school Brendon is horseing around with his friends and his shirt slips and shows part of a scar he has on his chest, which he recieved during a fire when he was two. Lisa catches a glimpse of it but wants to see the rest, she tries to get him to show her but he says no. This starts events happening, like Brendon's nightmares of a half man/half scaly rat like creature that tries to kill him. Can Brendon figure out why these things are happening to him and what it all means????? I liked this book and will look to buy the next one in the series. I was given a free copy of this book in order to review it.....By Loves to Read
really boring...more of a pre teen book...most of it was about supposed sexual tenson between teenagers..just a stupid book. I will not be reading the other books in this series
Loved the book! It's fun reading from the teenage boy perspective. I can't wait for the next book! I'm wondering what will happen when Brendon goes to college! Also I really loved Carson, he's adorable.
I liked everything except that he let them boss him around to much to seem true. But the plot was interesting!
Riveting!!! Loved it!
This was a great book. I fell in love with the main characters of Lisa and Brendon. The story was very strong and entertaining from the first page to the very last. A great love story with good action.
When I got this book I was unaware that it was for teens, but I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed it and now I will have to read the others just to see how it goes. This was an awesome read and kudos to the author. Thanks for the ride.
