Loved both of Kim Chance's books in this series. The characters are super relatable and her writing is flawless. Hoping she comes out with a new one soon!

Fantastic read! It’s got all the elements of a great YA paranormal story – magic, adventure, a bit of romance, and a lot of heart. Whether you're already a fan of Kim Chance or just love a good supernatural tale, this book is definitely worth your time. I’m giving it a solid four stars and can’t wait to see what she writes next!

Had to buy a copy because I've had issues downloading this since it was approved. I really enjoyed it. It was a wonderful conclusion to a well crafted urban fantasy.

A great sci-fi novel, Seeker is about Lainey joining forces with a group of supernatural rebels after her family is murdered by the Master.

She is seen struggling with her new role as Keeper and the power it gives her while dealing with Maggie and Ty who is willing to do anything to get what he wants even if it means hurting the girl he loves.

The story unfolds in a way that it is easy to follow and a fun read perfect for this age group.

This is the sequel to Kim's debut novel Keeper and it did not disappoint. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this duology it was a great ending and I loved where the plot went and the characters.

I was lucky enough to receive an early copy of Seeker by Kim Chance. I loved Keeper so I was excited to get my hands on a copy of the sequel. In my opinion, this story was even better than the first. Kim knocked it out of the park with this one. We are back with old favorites as well as a whole cast of new friends (and enemies). We get to follow the perspectives of our three main characters Lainey, Maggie and Ty. I loved that we got to be in the heads of Maggie and Ty in this book. Maggie is one of my most favorite characters and she is the worlds best friend. I need a friend like Maggie in my life. We see her balance friendship with her own struggles about who she is and who she wants to be. Additionally, we get to work through some complex emotions between Ty and Lainey (both together and individually). All of this is set against the backdrop of a ticking clock leading to an epic battle of good versus evil. This book has laughs and heartbreak, action and emotion and most of all a thrilling conclusion. If you loved Keeper, I hope you are like me and love Seeker even more.

This was such a great final book to this duology. It was so satisfying, and kept me hooked until the very end! The writing was fantastic, and I know Keeper and Seeker will be books I reread frequently for years to come, just so that I can experience this story again and again. I can’t wait to devour anything else this author writes!

I recieved this arc through NetGalley for an honest review of my thoughts and mine alone. This novel was very enjoyable, this character growth was impeccable. I really felt myself being amiable towards the characters and could feel myself empathizing with all the emotions they were going through. This novel was very enjoyable.

I got a chance to read this book later than I intended, but I loved it nonetheless! Seeker is a contemporary fantasy that felt very grounded in reality, and it gave me nostalgia for some of the books I have read in the past. Wonderful prose and characters. Would recommend!!

Seeker was the perfect conclusion to this duology! And in fact, it was my favorite book of the two. Chance writes amazing friendships and this book was *chef's kiss* in that. Her dialogue is always full of banter and quick wit. The story was fast paced and exciting. And that ENDING! Kim Chance is one to follow!

While I really enjoyed the first book, I was not able to get into this one. There was something that changed in the writing from the first book to the second and at some point I just no longer cared about what was happening to the characters. I did not finish this title.

This was an interesting read. The character development fell a little flat in some places for me but I feel strongly it’s important to have more YA/NA books with friendship emphasis over relationship. And this book did that.

The first book in this series was so much better. Not sure what happened with the second book. It just was all over the place with too many POVs and was super predictable.

Seeker is a satisfying sequel to Keeper. The characters are compelling, and the story has a quick pace that will delight teen readers. Chance does a solid job balancing dual POVs

This book was such a quick read for me. I couldn't put it down! The writing style was perfect for me. The flow was easy to get into the groove. There was the perfect amount tension and the character development was amazing. And magic, who doesn't love magic in a world. I would recommend this to any fantasy lover. I would recommend reading the first book first, but this isn't necessary.

'Seeker' is the second and final book in the Keeper Duology, a young adult paranormal fantasy. I absolutely loved the first book in the series and I couldn't wait to see how things would play out and end in this one. I wasn't disappointed. This is one of those series that you need to read the first book before attempting to read the second one. If you don't you'll be really lost and confused and won't be able to get into the story or the characters to the level you need to in order to really enjoy this series. So definitely read the first book, Keeper, before this one! The plot had a quick pace that kept things moving quickly - but not too fast. I loved learning more about the history of everything and everyone from the history of it all to the current issues and war. The story was fantastic - basically everything I love in a good book. Friendship, family, coming together and learning how to work together and protect each other, love, hate, trust, and being comfortable about who you are were just some of the topics the author touched on underneath the main plot. I love that she layered these aspects in naturally, they were really woven into the story and seemed natural, so the reader's actually getting more than they bargained for when reading.

I continued to love the characters, especially Lainey, Maggie, and even Ty. We get to know them even better throughout the story, which I really enjoyed. Each of them have their own strengths and weaknesses which not only makes them much more realistic for the reader, but allows them to help each other when needed. They seemed to complement one another in major aspects of their problems or character flaws, which is partly why I grew to love each one in their own way. The big thing for me was the writing style. I absolutely love that the author wrote the book in the first person point of view, from not just one but three perspectives. We get an inside look at everything going on from Lainey, Maggie, and Ty. I adore this writing style because of how deeply the reader gets to bond with the character. We see everything about them - hopes and fears, doubts and dreams, memories, thoughts, and an unique look at the world around them - and what's happening at the moment - from three different perspectives. I think that the author writing the book in this style was one of the biggest positives for me and it absolutely made me love it all the more. I don't do spoilers in my reviews, so I can't go into the plot much without accidentally revealing something. I will say that it's action-packed, quick paced, and a ton of stuff happens to keep you on your toes. I'm sad that this is the end of the series, but I'm hoping and wishing for more books - maybe a spinoff? I don't want to leave these characters or their world behind just yet. I highly recommend this book and series to fans of YA fiction, fantasy, and paranormal fiction.

I read this book quite some time ago, and I have completely forgotten to write my review and I so very sorry.

In one word, YAS. Keeper was an amazing book, and I had high expectations for Seeker - expectations that wer surpassed. Not only is the MC relatable, but I am in love with the fact that she is a bookworm (well was, but you can never take that title away)

I honestly found all of the characters to be well thought out, and it's safe to say; I wanna be their friend.
I know Ty is portrayed as a bad guy, but by Gods.... I have a new book boyfriend <3

I found the plot to be well thought out, and truly enjoyable. I would definitely suggest it to YA readers who are fans of The Shadow Falls series.

Once I hit the last 35% of the book, it really flew! I loved the battle scenes and how everything wrapped up. And thank heaven for character redemption!

I received a copy of this book for a fair and honest review. This second book in this duology put my emotions through the paces. There were alot of twists and turns and betrayal. It was the finish that I wanted after reading the Keeper. I could not even say that I wanted from this because I got it all summed up. I love the characters and the way the world was put together. The author wove a wonderful tale. Would love to read more by this storyteller.
