Gatekeepers series.
After being sent forward in time and scattered across the globe, the five Gatekeepers must reunite in Antarctica to prevent the Old Ones from destroying the world. Perspective-switching third-person narration and clumsy exposition turn what should be a fast-paced adventure into a predictable, overly long book, but fans of the series will enjoy this fifth installment in the Five's adventures.

Gatekeepers series.
A British teen of Chinese descent, Scarlett is the fifth Gatekeeper destined to save the world from the Old Ones. Traveling to Hong Kong, she finds a city full of shape-changers and corpses. In a race against time, the other Gatekeepers try to save her. Despite some unfortunate stereotypes, this gory, well-paced adventure will keep series fans engaged.

Gatekeepers series.
Telepathic Jamie is one of five gatekeepers destined to save the world from the evil Old Ones. When his twin brother is captured, Jamie goes back in time ten thousand years to fight the Old Ones there. The plot will have series fans turning pages. The book's parallels between indescribable evil and the current state of American politics are not subtle.
