'Brilliantly compelling and original. I read this book in one sitting.'
Robert Twigger, Winner of the Somerset Maugham Award (Angry White Pyjamas)

'a stunning psychological thriller. Mostert has delivered another knock-out treat.'
The Daily Mail (London)

'Will grab your interest right from the start. A distinctive, fast-paced mystery that balances the occult with the latest technology. Excellent character building, a sense of history and an inventive plot make this paranormal tale stand out from the pack.'
Monsters and Critics

'refreshingly different, suspenseful love story.... This unusual, deftly written tale combines martial and healing arts with speculation about the life-force known as chi, marrying modern science with mysticism, and steering clear of romantic clichés'
The Times (London)

'Even more compelling than the players in this eerie tale is the talented author Natasha Mostert. An ambitious and gifted storyteller, her vivid imagination and compelling research dominate the pages of "Keeper of Light and Dust," a powerful and entertaining read that will intrigue you.'
www.karlamass.com - The Week's Most Talked About Books (17-23 April 2009)

'Her fantastic new novel (is)...spellbinding.'
Peterborough Evening Times

'original and daring...defies easy comparison...a hybrid of Eric Lustbader's groundbreaking The Ninja and Ann Rice's The Vampire Lestat. Such a vision may be ambitious but it serves Mostert well and she proves well up to the task, crafting a tale as sizzling as it is sultry.'
The Providence Journal (Jon Land)

'chilling, haunting, and so smartly written that the pages fly by'
Female First

'Intellectual Meets Paranormal. Mostert has a knack of blending science and the paranormal in interesting, "it-could- happen" ways, and does it again in "Keeper of Light and Dust." ...The story, the science behind it, and its mysticism will leave readers thinking (and discussing) long after the story is over.'
Graffiti Magazine

'This is not a book that lets the reader go easily after the last page is finished. Highly recommended.'
SFRevu

'Another fantastic read from an amazing talent. '
