Genre:
Fantasy, Young Adult
Blurb:
Two
worlds. One queen determined to rule both. And one teen girl who stands in her
way.
Zanzibar
MacKenzie knows she’s a freak. She has EHS – electrical hypersensitivity –
which leaves her trying to live a Stone Age life in the twenty-first century:
no internet, no phone, no point really.
On
her seventeenth birthday she discovers the truth: she can’t stand electricity
because she’s half-fae, and her mixed-blood makes her the only person on Earth
able to control the gates that link the fae and human worlds.
With
the help of Thanriel, an angel charged with keeping the worlds in balance, and
Cal, an exiled fae, Zan – the girl who can’t flip a light switch – must now
learn to control the elemental powers she never knew she had in order to defeat
a queen bent on destruction.

Review:
Zanzibar “Zan” MacKenzie comes home one day to find her
father asleep and she is unable to wake him. Then she discovers that her mother
is missing in action. She is left all alone not knowing what to do with nowhere
to turn. She has been home schooled and without any contact with the outside
world except for her two best friends Em and Jamie.
After calling for an ambulance there is a knock at the
door. Upon opening the door she sees a stranger standing there. She has never
seen this guy before in her life well unless you wanted to count earlier today
when she was at the beach with Em and Jamie and she saw him in the distance
watching her.
She learns that this stranger is Thanriel, a talvarrine
from the planet Talvar and he has wings. Through Thanriel she learns that her
mother is a fae from the planet Fane. So that would make her half fae half
human. Oh and she is also the last gatekeeper and that she has to close the
gates.
Zan is like whoa, whoa slow down, you except me to
believe all of this? A stranger shows up at her down with all of this weird
stuff about other planets and that fairies are real. No way man. But the more
he talks the more she starts to actually believe him. He is telling her that
the queen from the planet Fane wants to start a war and kill everyone and everything
on Earth and then claim it for her own.
Zan must close the gates between Fane and Earth to stop
the queen. Zan has a very big decision to make. To close the gates or not to
close the gates. What will she do? If she doesn’t close the gates all life on
Earth is gone. But there are
consequences if she closes the gates and there are consequences if she doesn’t
close the gates. Which one can she live with?
The Last Gatekeeper is not the first book by Katy Haye
that I have read and it won’t be the last. Katy knows how to write a book that
will pull you in and won’t let go until you have turned that last page leaving
you wanting more. I have enjoyed following along with Zan, Thanriel, Cal and
all the other characters on their journeys and hope to follow them on more of
their journeys in the future. I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book The
Dreamseer to find out more about life on Zane and what Zan and everyone else is
up to. If you have not read The Last Gatekeeper then I would like to suggest
that you do. The Last Gatekeeper is out of this world.

partiality for dark chocolate brazils and a fascination with the science of
storytelling.
