Publisher's Summary
Fifteen-year-old Lola just said goodbye to life as a loner. One minute she’s living with her mom in Baltimore and hanging out with her best friend Jane and the next she’s receiving the keys to a southern mansion, boatloads of money, and an ancient family secret.
She has no idea how she’s going to cope with a long-lost dad, an eccentric aunt, and a drop-dead gorgeous boy that keeps popping up everywhere she turns. Not to mention the magical book and the skeleton key that just appeared out of nowhere....
The perfect gift for fans of Julie Kagawa’s Iron Fey Series or Lauren Kate’s Fallen Series.

Locke&key+The Thin Veil series but different
Although the concept of keys and magic doors is not a new concept this is a little different but a lot of fun. Good characters are written and given voices distinct and relatable. It's a fantastic start of the series and I can't wait to see what is next

An enjoyable, unique read, 5 stars
The Ancestors' Key (The Evers Series Book 1), is my first read from author Marie-Hélène Lebeault. I can't give any if you like this author you'll love this book comparisons but, you'll love this book and the only bad thing about it was that it ended, as all books do the good news is it's the first book of a series. I've read 218 books so far this year and this book is among the best of them. An entertaining, must-read! I look forward to reading more from this author, in fact The Academy: Book Two in the Evers Series is next on my TBR list. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

Fine YA Fantasy
I enjoyed this story, but the fantasy element was depicted too late in the tale; and therefore, it lost some of its impact. The story revolved around a fifteen-year-old girl who became an orphan, only to find out several family secrets. The tale was charming. The characters were sympathetic, although I did think that the protagonist recovered from her mother's death rather quickly. I liked the southern ambiance. I liked the magic. Valerie Rose Lohman's narration was fine. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review.

Fun New Fantasy
Parents: PG-PG13 this is acceptable for middle school and up
Language: PG
Violence: PG - normal to genre, nothing overly graphic
Sexual content: PG13 - kissing, some raging hormones, pool related imagery and longing for more physical intimacy but it stays clean
This book starts a bit slow and has an interesting twist of Southern charm and old fashioned traditions mixed in current time. It starts with Lola (15yr) finding herself orphaned when her mother dies. Lola has one year of high school left and is sent to live with her aunt in a giant Victorian mansion. As she get's settled into her new home that she will one day inherit she learns of her newly found wealth and some strange family secrets surrounding a key.
So while I did enjoy this book and I am really looking forward to seeing where the story goes, there's just a lot of stage setting in this book. The first half is a bit slow as you learn the scenes and characters. I did find some of it a bit too much of a lucky girl who won the lottery in her new life, outside of losing her parents it just felt too easy- there wasn't really a conflict until toward the end of this book. The last quarter of the book did get really interesting which is a definite pull to read the next one.
The narrator fit the main character well and did a good job with the differentiations.

Recommend
The book had twist and turns, and the narrator did such a good job with portraying the characters. There are so many secrets that Lola is finding out. This book shows mystery from the past that keeps going to the present.

FANTASTIC START TO A PROMISING SERIES
FANTASTIC START TO A PROMISING SERIES.
Well written, well narrated, with relatable characters and a beautiful adventurous storyline. There were even a few tears and emotions of wonder, joy, amazement and happiness. l am keen to continue the series and can recommend this wonderful clean story.

Loved it
This was an interesting and emjoyable listen/read. The narrator was pleasant to listen to and did a great job bringing the characters to life. The storyline was interesting and not one that I had heard before. I loved the kinda rags to riches part for the MC and how she dealt with it as a teen. The "Door" in the attic being similar to Narnia or maybe a wormhole was something I haven't seen in any other book and I absolutely can't wait to see where that goes. This was so interesting and I just can't wait to get the next book.I would highly recommend to young and old asI think all ages would enjoy this book. I received this as a promotional credit and this is my honest review.
