Keeper of Light and Dust by Natasha Mostert

Keeper of Light and Dust by Natasha Mostert is the story of love, passion, martial arts, a Keeper and a Thief who is searching for immortality.

My book review rating: 5 stars – an enjoyable read and an insight into the world of ancient mysticism.

Take a look at this book cover and tell me it’s not just asking to be picked up and read? I love books with covers that call to me, especially when they turn out to be a really good read! The Keeper of Light and Dust is a novel based around martial arts – not something I’ve ever been interested in before, but Mostert does an excellent job of making the characters believable and pulling you head first into what is an amazing story.

Mia Lockhart is a martial artist and a tattooist by day – but by night she is a protector, a Keeper, whose role it is to keep fighters safe as they head into the ring. When her charges begin to die in mysterious circumstances days after their fights Mia begins to realise that something is not quite right. Before long she comes face to face with a modern-day vampire, a Thief who is not looking for blood but immortality – and when her childhood friend Nick is next up in the ring Mia does what she has to in order to keep him safe.

This is a fast paced thriller with an intricate plot full of twists and turns that will keep you guessing right up until the last page. I can highly recommend it and will definitely be seeking out a copy of Mostert’s previous novel Season of the Witch.
