Book Spotlight // The Scent Keeper – GIVEAWAY

 

I’m so excited to share The Scent Keeper from Erica Bauermeister and St. Martin’s Press! I’ve only just started it and I’m completely captivated, immersed, and enchanted!

Emmeline lives an enchanted childhood on a remote island with her father, who teaches her about the natural world through her senses. What he won’t explain are the mysterious scents stored in the drawers that line the walls of their cabin, or the origin of the machine that creates them. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ As Emmeline grows, however, so too does her curiosity, until one day the unforeseen happens, and Emmeline is vaulted out into the real world–a place of love, betrayal, ambition, and revenge. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ To understand her past, Emmeline must unlock the clues to her identity, a quest that challenges the limits of her heart and imagination.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Lyrical and immersive, The Scent Keeper explores the provocative beauty of scent, the way it can reveal hidden truths, lead us to the person we seek, and even help us find our way back home.⁣

I mean…come on! How great does that sound? The moment I saw that Jamie Ford recommended it, I knew I’d love it! And it’s totally magical so far.
