Summary: Fabulously Funny Fantasy!
Review: "Summon the Keeper" by Tanya Huff is a wonderfully funny and witty read that is sure to keep all its readers utterly enthralled. Huff has created a fascinating fantasy world that sets the stage for this delightful tale of supernatural excitement and otherworldly romance. Claire Hansen is a Keeper, which basically means that her life is devoted to travelling from place to place sealing leaks in the fabric of the universe where evil is trying to escape. As the book begins, Claire receives a summons, which leads her to the Elysian Fields Guest House, a run-down old B&B run by an unpleasant little man. Claire and her very opinionated, far from young talking cat, Austin, rent a room for the night, and the next morning Claire is shocked to discover that she is the new owner of the B&B. But it's not just any old B&B that Claire has inherited. The Elysian Fields Guest House comes complete with a hole to Hell in the furnace room and a very, very evil and very, very dusty Keeper who's been sleeping in Room 6 for decades. In addition to these supernatural extras Claire also has to deal with her new employee, the gorgeous yet innocent caretaker/cook/handyman/Newfie, Dean McIssac. With her hormones already in overdrive, Claire soon finds out she also has to contend with Jacques Labaet, a lusty French-Canadian ghost who wants to be the man in Claire's life. While trying to figure out how to close the hole to Hell, Claire finds herself renovating the B&B, dealing with her infrequent but always exciting guests (I liked the retired Olympians best), and figuring out what on earth she should do about her undeniable attraction to two men, one who is far too young and the other who is far too dead. Of course Austin, when not telling someone to "feed the cat", always has some commentary to make about Claire's life and the situations she gets into. Indeed, Austin has some of the best lines in the book, which more often than not had me laughing out loud. But the precarious balance keeping all Hell from breaking loose (quite literally) is put in jeopardy when Claire's younger sister Diana, a fellow Keeper with far more power than sense, arrives at the B&B to help out. Disasters seem to follow Diana wherever she goes, and the very thought of Diana in the same house as Hell strikes fear into Claire's heart. But Diana is there to stay until the problem is resolved, and she manages to start a chain reaction that makes for some fantastic reading and an explosive conclusion! "Summon the Keeper" is, quite simply, a great book. Each and every character was vivid and intriguing, and I found myself completely caught up in the adventures of Claire, Austin, Dean and Jacques. You do not want to miss out on this hugely entertaining read, so buy "Summon the Keeper" today. I promise you will not regret it!

Summary: Fantastic Canadian humor you can sink your teeth into!
Review: Tanya Huff is a genius. After reading her series on Bannon and Vree, I really didn't expect much from the Keeper Chronicles. Was I wrong!! To describe this novel in one word, "Bravo!" Huff creates amazing, vibrant characters, who mix generously with comedy and a compelling universe. I'll never look at a cat the same way again! Who else could battle Hell in a basement?!?!? Read this book. You'll thank me. P.S. Don't forget to read the "Second Summoning," the second book in the series. Though different, it is equally FABULOUS!

Summary: Uh people, cats iz cats....
Review: Ok, I'm very scared. After 30+ reviews, I'm very worried that a majority of Tanya Huff readers believe their cats to be people too. Summary of this book: Love traingle with dominant female character set in a psuedo-fanatasy setting. This book may be more arresting for the N.A. contingent in Canada who like to make fun of Newfies (tres fun indeed!), but more plot depth and/or characters I could relate with may have been better. Basically this book mimics Ontario province in most ways non-Canadians see it....

Summary: Hilarious!
Review: This book made me laugh out loud! I absolutly loved it, my copy is so worn out. My whole family has read and loved this book. Especially the "Werewolves? There wolves. There Castle." line. Young Frankenstein is my family's favorite movie, I about died laughing. I've read the second in the series as well and it's great. I'd recomend this book to anyone, especially those who can appriciate a few bad, yet hilarious, puns. =)

Summary: My 1st Huff Book and I Want More!
Review: I love the idea of a 'keeper' living among us ordinary mortals and keeping evil at bay. The talking cat is icing on the cake. The story kept me interested from beginning to end. I plan to buy more Huff books this very week.

Summary: Lighthearted fun
Review: There is no way you can read this book without having a good time. The characters including the cat, are all precious and will keep you giggling throughout. Be sure to also get the sequel. You want to read them back to back.

Summary: Totally Fun
Review: It's always nice to find a read that is fun and keeps your attention. This book fits both descriptions really well. Sometimes the description seems a little bare, but it doesn't detract from the overall feel of the book. All in all, well worth the time it took to read.

Summary: Is it good? ohh yeah... it's good....
Review: This is a great book and I hope that Tanya Huff keeps writting them forever! It's the first and only book that I thought was perfect cover to cover. This book is so good that it was actually stolen from me and I went out and bought a replacement the next day. I am always giving away books but, this one is staying on my bedside table. Or in my purse... I was laughing from cover to cover when I wasn't groaning at the sick humor and horrible impression of karmic justice in this book. I don't often have time to read books during the school year but, this one I have read three times in just one semester. Please, buy your own copy because you can't have mine!

Summary: Romance Novel????
Review: I wasn't sure if this should have been listed in the Genre: Romance. It was a good read, but it certainly seemed to me to be a glorified romance novel. I don't think I will bother buying any further novels of Huff's.

Summary: A Pleasure
Review: After reading Huff's 'Blood' series I picked up this book and begain reading it. A witch, who has an attitude, a magical talking cat, and a world unknown to us mere mortals. Did I mention that HELL was in the bascement of the hotel she's running? (heh heh) A real pleasure to read, if you liked her other books, you'll love this one
