Publisher Description
The most dangerous being in Wonderland wants Alice, but he won't tell her why
It's not because she's daughter of the police chief - Rumpelstiltskin has his own dark magic he uses to his advantage, especially when the desperate want to make deals with him.
It's not because she has her own magic - in fact, Alice is the only human in a world of magic, which means she doesn't have a magical bone in her body.
And it's not because she's special - in fact, she has no idea who she is other than the fact that she was adopted by Paul Winter when she was a baby.
She has nothing to offer the Imp - and yet, he makes her an offer: help him uncover the truth behind her best friend's murder and he'll help her unlock who she really is.
Alice has no idea how she is supposed to help him and he's not saying anything either. But she can't refuse him, even if she wants to. The truth is too important to her - even if it means forcing herself to trust someone as mischievous and as selfish as Rumpelstiltskin himself.
With the grittiness and mystery of Veronica Mars and the magic and romance of Once Upon A Time, The Seeker's Shadow is a captivating urban fantasy mystery readers are sure to be enchanted by!
Customer Reviews
Interesting storyline
Absolutely fantastic! All your favorite characters growing up mixed with new and exciting adult themed storylines. Having Alice as a non-princess and non-magical, basic boring human who happens to be a detective in a world full of magic is a wonderful twist that is completely unique.
Some parts are written a little choppy and excessively repetitive, however overall it was an easy read and kept my interest. I am looking forward to finishing the series
The Seeker’ Shadow
I enjoyed this book very much. The characters were well developed. The only problem was the editing. Wrong pronouns were used, extra words making you have to stop and reread. This took me away from the flow of the plot at times.
Great story
Loved the mix of mystery, fairy tales, and a famous book together to deliver an amazing story. Alice is a great character and the rest were just as fun. I read it in one sitting and am now hooked.
