Synopsis:

Lainey’s normal, bookworm life no longer exists. With her family murdered by the Master, she joins forces with a group of Supernatural rebels. But as she struggles to cope with her new role as Keeper and the uncontrollable power it gives her, Lainey realizes that magic does indeed leave a mark—but it’s not always physical.

Ty isn’t one of the good guys. He’s done terrible things, and he won’t stop until he gets what he wants. Even if it hurts. Even if it means betraying the girl he loves…again.

For Maggie, all her comic book dreams have come true, and her new life as a Shifter is just beginning. But with war closing in, is it truly a dream or a death sentence?

In the ultimate battle for power, Lainey, Ty, and Maggie must face-off against the Master, and work together to discover the greatest weapon of all.

Seek and you will find.
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.
