Each body has a story to tell, a life seen in pictures only Librarians can read. The dead are called Histories, and the vast realm in which they rest is the Archive. Mackenzie Bishop's grandfather first brought her here four years ago, when she was twelve years old, frightened but determined to prove herself. Now her grandfather is dead, and Mac has grown into what he once was: a ruthless Keeper, tasked with stopping often violent Histories from waking up and getting out. Because of her job, she lies to the people she loves, and she knows fear for what it is: a useful tool for staying alive.
I read both of these books in high school and loved them! I couldn't put them down! I think the whole concept of the archive is really intriguing and interesting to me. Also I love the way the author is able to capture Mac's grief and really make you feel it. I also really enjoy the flashbacks that the author gives you to give more insight into what the protagonist is feeling, and tidbits about her life before becoming a keeper. I was on the edge of my seat through both books. 12/10 would recommend!
