Calvin is a curious fifteen-year old teen and who wouldn’t be as he walks inside a massive old house that is just begging to unleash its mysteries. When his twin sister and he decided to visit his ancestral home before starting the school year, they didn’t anticipate uncovering the secrets their family had hidden from them. His grandfather, a psychic, the one and only Percy Humboldt was a foreseer of things to come and had a great following before his death. His housekeeper, Mrs. Seabrook, who manages the Humboldt Manor, has a great knowledge of the things of the past, for which she slowly passes onto the two teens as they investigate the Manor. It’s his study that intrigues Calvin and for which Calvin finds the most valuable information which will transform both of their lives forever. His twin Cleo putts around in the garden for garden bulbs where she unmistakably discovers the key. This key which was to remain hidden has now fallen into the hands of the twins and now the intensity of this book is skyrocketing. This key is like a time bomb, people want it and others think it is cursed; I’m torn between what are sinister ways and just curiosity. I cheered for both sides, I wanted to open the locked door with the key and I wanted to be on the other side of the door and figure out why it was locked. I wanted to see what was there and experience it yet as I read the words that grandfather left for them in his letters, I was chilled and I feared for them but I wanted it all the same. Once you have the power that grandfather talked about, you can’t turn it off and like their grandfather the twins wanted to know, they wanted to see if it was real. As grandfather begs them to destroy the key, he tells them about his life, his family and the VisumOris organization. So many sides and different stories, just who do you believe? It’s only a key and a door, right?
I received this book in exchange for an honest opinion.
