I enjoyed the first book so I was thrilled to get an advance copy of the sequel.
In this book Chance expands on the unique imagery and world of the Keeper universe. The characters are further developed so they feel more real. I loved the strong female friendship between Laney and Maggie - The world needs more strong female friendships like this. It's refreshing to read about women who get along rather than go after each other.
I think I might have enjoyed this book even more than the first. The end was simply perfect. It was the ending this duology deserved.
I can't wait to see what Mrs. Chance writes next!

I didn’t realize this was the second book when I requested a copy, so I didn’t finish the book.
But what I read was really well written and the characters seem to be intriguing and well thought out.

I received an ARC of Seeker not too long ago. I loved the first book, Keeper, a lot. Seeker has been my favorite read this month. I could not put the book down. I felt the need to see how Lainey’s story turned out. The pacing is well balanced. I never got bored. The characters came to life with the multiple POV this book offers. Each character had their own, unique voice. I must admit, I got too attached to these characters. I laughed. I cried. I even cringed from time to time. I cannot decide what I loved most about Seeker - the characters/their growth, the descriptions, or Maggie’s comic book references. I enjoyed the roller coaster adventure this book took me on. Loved every twist and turn. Hands down would recommend this book!

If you love Paranormal books, then this is a great read for you. This is the second book in the series and it is a must to read Keeper first.

This book delves more into Lainey's abilities and her quest to unlock the Grimoire and with the help of her best friend Maggie and her Praetorian Calling Ty, they set out to right the wrongs of The Master and seek their revenge once and for all.

Terrific book, well written and takes up right after the end of Keeper. I think I have found a new great author.

Thanks to NetGalley and North Star Editions for the opportunity to read and review this book.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. I also had the pleasure of beta reading a draft of Seeker, but it was already a 5/5 in my eyes. With this final version completely refined, it blew me away again and remains the 5/5 I only give to books that are truly amazing and impacted me.

You guys, this book had me shook! Kim's writing style, the tension, the character development. I AM HERE FOR ALL OF THE FEELS. The prose was beautiful yet easy to read, the character arcs, consistency, dialogue, and setting descriptions were all on point, and of course, Kim is a master (no pun intended) at chapter cliffhangers. This is a story you don't want to miss.

I did not read this book. The file did not open after many attempts to download it and open it. It crashed both Adobe and Bluefire at every step.

I read the first, Keeper so I am giving this book my rating for that.

I absolutely loved this book!
Just like with Keeper, the characters were definitely the strongest aspect of this story. They feel so real and fleshed-out, and their relationships feel incredibly genuine. I love books with strong friendships, and Lainey and Maggie's friendship was one of the best I've ever read. They're loving and supportive of each other, and it's a very equal friendship. With some stories the "best friend character" is just a side character and doesn't get much development, or it's a one-sided friendship, but Lainey and Maggie were both fully-developed characters who gave equally in their friendship. Maggie wasn't just a character development tool for Lainey, she was her own person with her own goals and flaws and personality. It was so refreshing to read!
As far as the plot goes, I really enjoyed that as well. One of my favourite things was that the characters' actions actually had consequences! This is something that's sooo often overlooked, especially in YA, but there was an explanation and a consequence to everything the characters did. Sometimes it was a good thing, sometimes it was a bad thing, but it really made the whole story feel more realistic and believable.
Although I did love Keeper as well, it was very clear to see Kim Chance grow and improve as a writer in this sequel. That's something I love to see in a sequel, not only the growth of the characters and advancing the plot, but as a writer I love seeing the author change and grow along with their story. Even though Keeper was a great book and very well-written, this book was definitely stronger, specifically in pacing. I think the ending was also stronger in this book than in Keeper, and I feel very satisfied by the conclusion.
With how much I loved her first two novels, I can't wait to follow Kim Chance throughout the rest of her career!

I don’t even know where to get started with this review! But I am just going to jump right into it and see where it goes. Since this book is not released yet (September 10th, 2019!) this will be a spoiler free review!

Ever since Keeper was released last year I fell in love with the story of Lainey, Maggie and Ty. When I heard that a sequel was in the works, I KNEW I had to read it ASAP! The wait was long, but it was 110% worth it!

Character Development- This is a huge thing for me when it comes down to if a book is going to be a 5-star book or a 1-star book. Kim DELIVERED when it comes to character development! With this being a sequel, I thought that I knew most, if not all, I needed to know about these characters, but the information and development just kept coming! The new characters there were introduced were just as thought out as the characters from Keeper.

Multi POV- I will admit that when I first heard that Seeker was going to be a multi POV story, I was a little worried. Sometimes when I read, I go too fast and don’t read chapter headings or the part where it tells you whose POV the chapter is written in and sometimes get confused as to whose POV I am reading in. This was not the case with Seeker. Going back to my first point, the character development was so well thought out that even if I did skip reading whose POV I was in, I could easily tell just by how the character spoke or the way they thought.

Plot twists- I like to say that I am someone who can usually pick out little plot twist along the way by picking up on little hints throughout the story. The plot twist in Seeker were so well planned that I didn’t see them coming. I do want to keep this review spoiler free, so I won’t be going into detail about the plot twist.

The writing in general- I know that talking about the writing in general is a weird point to use as far as a review goes but I think it is something that needs to be brought up. I LOVED Keeper. It was on the top, if not number 1, on my list of favorite books of 2018 but Seeker blew it out of the water. The detail that is put into Seeker made me feel like I was watching a movie as I read the book. Everything flowed together nicely made for a really entertaining read.

Overall, I don’t think you will be shocked to know that I give this book a 5-star rating! I enjoyed this book so much that I would go as far as to say that it has official knocked “Perks of Being a Wallflower” to the number 2 spot on my all-time favorite books and claimed the number 1 spot. So, if you have not read Keeper yet DO IT RIGHT NOW! You have until September 10th, 2019 to prepare yourself for Seeker. And trust me, you’ll want to be ready!!!!

I had not read the first book before I read this one, which is the second in the series. I did receive this book in exchange for feedback.

This book is told in multiple points of views with each chapter as a new character. It is very much a fantasy story and very enjoyable if this is your kind of book.

While I do feel it would have been helpful to read the first one, there were only a few times that I felt like I didn't really get the frame of reference.

As part of the series on the whole, I really enjoyed the story of a witch trying to control her powers and defeat the evil villain.

First of all, I want to say how proud I am of Kim. I know how much she gave this book, and it's paid off; hard moments and all. I've had the privilege of beta reading Seeker and getting an E-Arc from Netgalley, and I have some serious feelings about this book. There's drama, humour, Marvel references, love, and the ties of friendship that literally make me cry. I'm not kidding when I say that Lainey and Maggie are friendship goals.

NOW, onto the review stuff. I'm going to keep-er this spoiler free (hahaha). Seeker picks up so seamlessly from Keeper. Right away you're thrown into the thick of the consequences of Keeper (no spoilers! You gotta go read it). Kim somehow manages to balance out and maintain the tension from here while still wriggling in some tender moments between various relationships. Essentially, it's an emotional roller-coaster. My favourite part of these books though are how human the characters are. They're all in the midst of the worst situation of their lives but they still have their arguments, their moments of teenage angst, and parental conflict. They aren't written like adults, like a lot of YA authors seem to do, and I love it. I'm glad to see teens being teens.

While I'm sad to see the conclusion of Lainey, Maggie, and Ty's story, I'm completely satisfied with the way Kim handled it. I think she's left the door open enough in case she wants to see them again. This is also straight up a request: Kim, write a prequel about my gal Josephine!! I need this in my life!

I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to read the ARC, and I'm extremely excited for release day later in the year!

I thought this book nicely wrapped up the story for me. There were plenty of twists and turns, plus the introduction of a few (well-fleshed out) new characters. I particularly liked Oliver and his plot with Maggie. I think I fell a little more in love with Maggie in this book (if that is even possible!)

Lainey and Ty, as always, had me riding a crazy rollercoaster of emotions, and I struggled to put the book down. I have loved them from the comic book store in Keeper, and my heart was broken at the end of book one. I loved how we got Ty's full back-story, and I felt it really filled out the story and who he was as a person.

The ending was spectacular. I literally got goose bumps during the ending scene with Lainey and Maggie. Just amazing.

A fantastic read, and a book I'm definitely buying to put alongside Keeper on my bookshelf :)

When I began reading this book I didnt realize this was a sequel to the Keeper, but even without the full context. I absolutely loved the entire story. This was well written and the transition between perspectives was written with so much suspense and had me glued to the page to see what could happen. This book began with chaos and heartbreak, and turned into the epitome of the phrase "the path out of hell is through misery". I highly recommend this book of you have a love for supernatural suspense as it had enough twists and turns to glue you to the pages for hours.

The story is told from three perspectives, Maggie, Lainey, and Ty, each one struggling with finding who they are. Maggie desperate to fit in and find purpose in a team of supernatural. Ty, a known traitor trying to find his place, bit who is the betrayal really to. Lainey, with a huge growth in power, now she has to discover how to work her powers, and if she can learn to trust herself and her heart again, can she forgive herself?

My favorite part of this story, outside magic, is the relationship between Maggie and Lainey. They care so much about each other that the are too stubborn to let each other go. And with Maggie's love of all things hero/heroin, she was bound to kick butt in her own way.

With a chilling twist this story has the ability to have you looking at both sides of the coin, dark and light magic, and are the choices and mistakes you make ultimately unforgivable?

I enjoyed Seeker by Kim Chance. Pros: Kim has delivered a well-paced, fun & entertaining read. Kim worked hard to ground us in setting (which was a criticism I had of Keeper). Maggie shines brightest in terms of characterization. Comments/Cons: I enjoyed the Master's sense of (albeit twisted) humor in the final chapters of Keeper and was hoping to see more of that in this book. Since this was a sequel, Kim had to sort of "catch us up" in chapter one. Kim did this from the POV of the love interest, Ty, (a good choice)...but his voice in chapter one sounded much different than the rest of the book.
Bottom Line: Well-written, fun. I'm definitely going to buy this book and encourage you all to do the same. 3.5 stars (my scale: 5=Shakespeare, 1=FSOG).

(3.5) The plot twists and turns made the occasional cliche moment easily ignored. To be honest with you, I didn't enjoy the multiple perspectives, but I think it's really difficult for any author to make each character's storyline as exciting as the last.

I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

The book is given in the point of views of three characters, Lainey, Maggie, and Ty. All of them were well written and they each had a different voice. I really enjoyed getting to see through all of their different perspectives.

The plot has a lot of twists and turns that will keep you on your toes the entire time. There were a lot of times that I had no idea who to trust. Readers who like psychological thrillers and fantasy will enjoy this book.

The writing was really detailed and vivid. The setting was also really well developed and the characters all had distinct personalities and depth.

There were some plot points that may seem cliche to some readers but I thought that the author did a really good job at subverting the tropes and keeping the reader wondering throughout the book. And although it is quite a dark read, there were some moments of humor between the characters that really made me laugh out loud. Overall, it's a great read and I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoyed the first installment.

Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

It reads as follows:

Hi everyone 👋! My awesome 🎆 news is that I've luckily been granted an ARC 📖 of Seeker, written by the lovely YA author, Kim Chance. I finished it last night and I'm excited to share my review with you! 🙌

The sequel to @kimwritesbooks 's 1️⃣st 📑, Keeper (reviewed in an earlier post), Seeker releases on the 1️⃣0️⃣th of September and can already be pre-ordered on Amazon!

If you've read Keeper, you'll know a bit about the main characters, Lainey, Maggie & Ty (oh my!). In Keeper **Spoiler Alert** Lainey discovers she is a descendant of witches 🔮 and has magical powers she doesn't yet know how to control🎮. The last in her family line, she is now the keeper of the family Grimorie, which she needs to protect 🔒from an evil 👿 warlock. I recommend reading the book to find out about all the other things that happen, and so you know what is going on when Seeker comes out.

In Seeker, Lainey & Maggie band with a group of witches 🔮 and other fantasy creatures 🐺 to prepare for battle ⚔️with The Master. Lainey can't stop thinking 💭about Ty (and he keeps thinking 🤔about her) but can Lainey ever forgive his betrayal, and is Ty actually an evil bad 👎guy? Maggie finds herself making eyes 👀at the world's crankiest guy, who has some special abilities of his own, and also finds herself precariously close to death 💀 - she might not survive ☠️!

I ❤️ how this book is written from the perspectives of 3️⃣ different characters. This lets us inside their heads 🙇 and allows us to follow them all when the plot sends them in different directions↖️⬇️↗️. The work the author poured into this 2️⃣nd novel shows. I especially enjoyed getting to know Maggie better.

This fantastic YA story sticks to the innocent side of romance while still offering an exciting story for young readers to fall in love with.

Seeker is a fantastic book that has twists and turns. I could not put it down. Now I need to read the first one. I loved it.

I want to thank Netgalley for providing me with this book in exchange for my honest review.

This book was so amazingly good.
Everything in this book is seamless!
The writing was so amazingly detailed and vivid I loved it.
The characters were also awesome I truly enjoyed this cast of characters a lot!
I loved the way this book took me out of my head so much that I genuinely lost all track of time.
Overall I had to give it 5 stars.

Thank you all so much for your support of Seeker! I hope you enjoy the conclusion of Lainey, Ty, & Maggie's story!

Honestly, if you're a fan of Keeper, this one is defiinitely a sequel that fans will enjoy! Had some really great characters development and the characters were better overall. Had TONS of twists, bumps, and turns throughout, so it'll really keep you on your toes. There were times where scenes felt really slow, but it would quickly recover and go back to its normal pacing. Overall, it's a really great read and I'd recommend checking it out, especially if you enjoyed the first book.
