My name is Lizzie Sanders, and I am far from normal. You see, I know ghosts and demons exist. How? Because I am the daughter of Sadie Sanders–mediator to the dead extraordinaire. However, that isn’t what makes me different. No, discovering I am a Shadow Seeker is what truly signifies my own fate in the supernatural world.

In one breath, my entire life was flipped upside down. At the heart of small-town America, Nicholasville, KY, houses southern charm and deep-rooted secrets. It is here that I am forced to move after my parents inherited my great-aunt’s farm.

This was supposed to be a change for us– a place where no one knew our past, but of course, this town is haunted with its own mysteries yet to be revealed. The true enigma is the secrets plaguing Crow Haven —and the family it protects.

Just when I thought I could handle the insane world I lived in, everything changed.

He happened.  Ace Creed.

He might be drool-worthy, but he is insufferable with his moody attitude and demanding ways. Thankfully, I have his sister, Maylee, on my side to help me deal with Ace.

As it turns out, though, Ace’s attitude is the least of my troubles.

Now, demons are attacking innocent people in town and coming straight for me. With the help of Ace and Crow Haven, I must uncover a way to rid our town of the demons and save myself.

Only, I have no idea what is more terrifying: the demons who are after me  — or the guy stealing my heart.

Title:  Shadow Seeker
Series:  Crow Haven #1
Author:  Michelle Areaux

My Rating:  4 stars

Shadow Seeker begins the Crow Haven series with an intense Young Adult Paranormal Romance that easily kept my attention from beginning to end.  Although I think I’m going to leave this series temporarily and go to Wild Cries, which is the series this one is connected to.  I’m the reader who really enjoys going from the very start through to the current book in any series, so if there are connecting series… I’m always going to go to the very beginning if possible.  But, having said that, it is my preference; you don’t have to, and can easily enjoy Lizzie’s story without having to go back.  Just know that her parents also had their story told if you want more background.

Lizzie has always known that her family is a bit… well, strange.  After all, her mom speaks to the dead, so there’s that.  Lizzie has dreams, terrifying dreams.  And while she may not have her mother’s abilities, she is growing into her own powers, whether she’s ready or not.  When her mother inherited a home in a small town in Kentucky, Lizzie’s life is about to undergo some changes far more dangerous than simply switching schools.

I enjoyed Shadow Seeker.  It’s well-written, vivid in detail, and intriguing, with touches of danger and the acknowledgment of new magical powers.  I will definitely be following the rest of the series.  Anything you’d really need to know before picking this one up can be found in the Cover Description; to say much more would be giving away spoilers.  If that sounds like your kind of Paranormal Romance, then you’d enjoy Lizzie’s story.

I read this title through my Kindle Unlimited subscription.
