What possessed me to read this book?Well, a couple years back i saw a couple of episodes of a series called Foyle's War.The screenwriter was (is) Horowitz.I was so impressed with it, that i took advantage of a Huge promotion to buy this book!*Facepalm*I now understand why it, and the following books are for sale at such low prices....Imagine a mesh of all the fantasy and horror clichés you've ever read or heard about...yes? That's what Raven's Gate is.Characters with no depth. A story lessI'M IN LOVE!!!This book finally broke my one-star-reads spell! Matthew "Matt" Freeman is not a normal kid. And he knows it.He knew his parents were going to die even before it happened. He just doesn't know how...Before proceeding with the review, I would like to thank Laura Pent for sending the book to me and luring me into reading it! Seriously. This was the best thing that ever happened to me! Okay, that was too dramatic. But you get the point.The book starts with Kelvin, Matt's friend
I could almost...almost go 5 stars on this one.Matt has had a hard life. He had loving parents and lived in a nice house, was a happy child and loved.Then his parents were killed in an auto accident (Don't I remember something about another magical kid losing his parents and getting told it was an auto accident??? Oh well, probably nothing...just my memory playing tricks I guess). Anyway there was no one left to take Matt in, except his mother's sister who is unloving...and really doesn't want
Easy to read. Not for children.
Raven's Gate (The Gatekeepers, #1), Anthony Horowitz Matt Freeman, always knew: He is different with others. He started with dreams. Then he came to the murders. After arresting Matt Freeman, the police sent him to a farm in Yorkshire to be run by an elderly woman. Not long, that felt "Matt", his supervisor is not a common habit. The rest of the villagers were not normal. Then, "Matt", from the existence of the predecessors, became aware, and knew, for reasons different from others. But nobody
Fourteen-year-old Matt Freeman is an orphan in a lot of trouble. After he's caught stealing he is funneled into the LEAF system, a new program that England has put in place to deal with youthful offenders. Through LEAF, Matt is "fostered" with the evil Mrs. Deverill, a satanic witch bent on torturing Matt. Everyone Matt gets close to has a bad habit of ending up dead and no one can seem to tell him about something called Raven's Gate - a mysterious place that is somehow tied to Matt's own
4.25 stars I really enjoyed this book. It was fast-paced, thrilling and creepy in all the right ways! I'll be continuing on with the series and I'm most hoping to see some character growth from our protagonist because this was the first book and there was a lot of build up, I feel like I didn't really get to know Matt as a character; most of his thoughts and dialogue were related to things happening around him which is why we didn't get to see him as himself. I actually laughed out loud quite a
