Alongside our world is another dimension, the Arcana, whose people live and work with ours in order to keep our dimension working properly. Rachel Wilde is one of those Arcanans who works as a demon collector. Rachel catches malfunctioning daemons and brings them back for repair. Rachel's latest caseload involves a bunch of unusual assignments: first, a riot daemon who no longer wants to affect humans negatively and is assigned to live with Rachel since it is unable to be repaired at this time; second, a human man who is trying to break down the inter-dimensional barrier to bring back the daemon Apep and lastly, the woman who is the last gatekeeper for Apep, keeping the daemon locked in the wasteland. Rachel's assignments turn sour as the two human marks cross paths, but she may finish her assignment with the help of some new friends.
Gatekeeper is a fun daemonic adventure through alternative dimensions and a diversity of daemons. The prologue sucked me in as a mysterious murderer brutally kills off what he believes is the last of the gatekeeper line. Rachel's character is strong, edgy and impulsive. I was very interested in the other dimensions and Rachel's dimension of Arcana. Arcana seems similar to ours, but with a better social structure. I would love to explore more of Arcana and how the people there came to be in charge of the daemons in the different dimensions. I also really enjoyed the human Oracle, Bach. I know that he probably has a great backstory, but it hasn't been explored yet. The riot daemon is a wonderful addition and I hope it doesn't get sent away just yet. I have a lot of questions about Apep and why a human would kill to have the daemon back on Earth. The ending was suspenseful and kept my interest up right until the end. There is definitely a lot more to explore in the series and I want to know what happens next!
