The Gateway

review 1: Thank you to The Book Addict's Guide for the ARC tour of this book. Aiden is a Gateway, a person whom the dead need to direct them to the other side. One of these souls enters through him, but the feeling is different. Soon, Aiden is a key player in preventing all that is evil entering and destroying the world. I really liked the character of Aiden, a teen who takes this gift he has without question, and is kind of an outcast. No superhero here, just an ordinary insecure guy. There is a lot of religious good vs. evil here too, and the church tends to play a huge role. The story kept me up reading, and I was anxious to continue when I got up the next morning. Very edge of the seat creepiness. To me a "good book" these days is one that I would share with my daughter... more, who has the same reading interests. Definitely a keeper! I look forward to what happens next!
review 2: (I received a free copy of this book, from Curiosity Quills Press Publishers, in exchange for a review).(This review may contain spoilers).I found this book to be quite an intriguing read. It's always interesting to see a book where the main character is male after all and I found it really easy to like Aiden. Although I would have liked to see a bit more of his history, I felt the book was written well enough to make Aiden and his friends likable characters.The idea of Aiden being a Gateway was quite an interesting one and I found it easy to feel sympathy for the Bleeders. I did think that Aiden made some mistakes, though - I felt he should have confided in his friends more and earlier.I didn't really like Koren. I couldn't really see what Aiden saw in her. I found his relationship with Julie a lot more interesting. I also liked the hints of Trevor's feelings for Evan. I would like to see more of them... and if anything could form between them.I did like the friendship between Aiden, Trevor and Evan. I always like loyalty in friends and I felt that came across really well in their interactions, despite how Aiden acted at times.The book was really easy to read and kept my attention throughout. I liked a lot of the supporting characters, though there were a few things I figured out fairly quickly.It would be good to read a sequel to this book and find out what will happen to the characters later on. I liked this book and would be interested to read other books by this author in the future. less
