Couldn't load pickup availability
A debut novel full of magic, adventure, and romance, The Book of Doors opens up a thrilling world of contemporary fantasy for readers of The Midnight Library, The Invisible Life of Addie Larue, The Night Circus, and any modern story that mixes the wonder of the unknown with just a tinge of darkness.
Cassie Andrews works in a New York City bookshop, shelving books, making coffee for customers, and living an unassuming, ordinary life. Until the day one of her favorite customers--a lonely yet charming old man--dies right in front of her. Cassie is devastated. She always loved his stories, and now she has nothing to remember him by. Nothing but the last book he was reading.
But this is no ordinary book...
It is the Book of Doors.
Inscribed with enigmatic words and mysterious drawings, it promises Cassie that any door is every door. You just need to know how to open them.
Then she's approached by a gaunt stranger in a rumpled black suit with a Scottish brogue who calls himself Drummond Fox. He's a librarian who keeps watch over a unique set of rare volumes. The tome now in Cassie's possession is not the only book with great power, but it is the one most coveted by those who collect them.
Now Cassie is being hunted by those few who know of the Special Books. With only her roommate Izzy to confide in, she has to decide if she will help the mysterious and haunted Drummond protect the Book of Doors--and the other books in his secret library's care--from those who will do evil. Because only Drummond knows where the unique library is and only Cassie's book can get them there.
But there are those willing to kill to obtain those secrets. And a dark force--in the form of a shadowy, sadistic woman--is at the very top of that list.

The imagination, the details, all of the connections! Loved it all!! Well written and clearly well thought out, I loved the little twists and the closure for every character
iβm generally allergic to books that feature romance in the review because iβm old and grumpy and had my fill of that genre when i was young. fortunately for me, that aspect was unobtrusive and sort of understated in the book of doors.i absolutely adored this book. great characters with a cool plot with a wonderful ending. i couldnβt put it down and read it in two days. read it and immediately ordered his second book.highly recommend for those that enjoyed the magical realism found in books like the ten thousand doors of january and the invisible life of addie larue.i really hope gareth brown turns out to be a prolific writer because i am definitely a fan.
There have been few times Iβve been as captivated by a book as by The Book of Doors.Itβs an original premise, well thought out, formulated and written.
I so enjoyed this book. Fun, exciting, stressful, lots of wonder. I will make sure I read this again at some point in the future. I don't think I have ever planned a second reading
I bought this book on the cover alone. I wanted no indication of what it was about. I have found that if you do that with no preconceived idea of the books content, you tend to be very surprised. I loved the book from the very beginning. I loved the joys, the tragedies, the twists and changes. This is what a story should be. Take a chance and open the door, you will be glad you did.
