Publisher Description
A sweeping six-book urban fantasy series that will have you devouring the pages like a bloodlust-fevered vampire drinking from the vein.
A past erased from my memory . . .
A protector I never wanted . . .
An enemy (or two) determined to strike me down . . .
One day I’m raiding tombs to buy my freedom from the man who has controlled me for years.
The next, I’m caught and thrown into an Egyptian prison, only to be rescued by a vampire.
Yes, a vampire.
Tobias is as stunning as he is grumpy, and it turns out that he has a proposition for me. One I can’t turn down because it could spell freedom.
So a few days later, I relocate to New Haven, to Yale, and meet a secret society of magical dark artifact hunters.
They tell me that I have magic too.
But that’s not the craziest thing.
My last heist unleashed great evil on the world. Thankfully, the secret society seems happy to help me right my wrongs and discover my power. Maybe even help me to remember my forgotten past too.
Well, most everyone, anyway. Tobias is the notable exception.
Too bad for him, he’s also assigned as my partner. My protector—a designation that he clearly despises.
But when danger comes calling, Tobias and I need to learn to work together and find the object I stole. If we don’t, it could very well mean my death.
Seeker of Secrets is an urban fantasy with a romance between a sassy witch and a grump vampire, multiple POVs, and sky-high stakes. If you like the found family aspect of Vampire Diaries, the slow burn and intense romance of the Fever series, and the action of Supernatural, you’ll love the Coven of Shadows and Secrets Series.
Customer Reviews
Great First Book in a Series!!
I quite enjoyed this book! I liked the author's world building with the different creatures, plus the different kinds of witches. Bonus points on how she fits the secret society onto Yale's campus! It had nice flow from the magical society hidden away to the members to moonlight as students to maintain cover.
There is a small romantic element and it came off a little forced to me, with Tobias suddenly unable to control himself around Meredith, but I'm hoping it will smooth out in the next ones. Their first interaction was pretty hilarious with a nice meet-cute in jail.
Meredith is a fun character. She's had a hard life, but she still keeps going and rolls with the punches. Her familiar was a nice touch by the author. I liked her getting to know everyone around her and how she could start to rely on them and get to be herself.
I loved the details of the secondary characters! They could almost use books of their own... The author gave each of them enough personality, that they were not forgettable and each had their own impact in the story.
I thought the narrator did an excellent job giving Meredith's character life and personality. She did narrate a little slow for me, so I increased the speed. I liked the effort she put into all the different characters' voices and accents, that can't have been easy. Some were a little rocky for how I like accents, but overall it doesn't detract from the narration.

Entertaining
Audiobook: The story is a supernatural spin on an adventurous treasure hunt tale served with a side of mystery, a secret society, and paranormal romance. Plenty of action to keep my interest in listening. The characters are interesting and entertaining. The narrator did a nice job with providing unique voices for each character and appropriate tone infections for each scene. I received a free copy of the audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
