The Scent Keeper By Erica Bauermeister
This is a short Review with NO SPOILERS from me. I want you to read the book. Thank you for the chance to be on the Blog tour for this Book.
This is a book that I normally would not read mainly the genre of the book. It did peak my interest and it was worth the read. The book is all about smells. The sense of smells. When reading this it hit a nerve that there are certain smells I wish I could smell forever to have the lasting memory.
This book kept me guessing what would happen next and take me into its world along with the main character Emmeline. It really is a magical story that will pull at your heart stings and I think you will really enjoy it. Think about if you can bottle scents that are in your life & the people you love would you want to keep them forever?

About the Book:
Erica Bauermeister, the national bestselling author of The School of Essential Ingredients, presents a moving and evocative coming-of-age novel about childhood stories, families lost and found, and how a fragrance conjures memories capable of shaping the course of our lives.
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.
