The Seeking

By Marlena Frank
The Seeking by Marlena Frank digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Each Seeking, the magic that protects the town of Carra must be renewed, which means the children of the Exalted Family must go into hiding. Whether through disguise or bribe, through trusted friends or perfect hiding places, every child of the Priest family must avoid capture for the full day of The Seeking.

 

When things go wrong with the renewal, it's up to seventeen-year-old Dahlia, the middle child of the Priest family, and her girlfriend, Bisa, to escape Carra and find the magical beings responsible for the protection. They must learn who would require such a cruel game every year and if the protection of the Gray People is really worth such a price.

 

What they will discover is far worse.

““The Seeking” has become one of my all time favorite horror books! I feel like some horror authors focus more on making the story gruesome and forget about everything else, but Marlena Frank not only had a really creepy story plot, but also had amazing world and character building. From the minute I started reading this book I could not put it down, the writing just pulled me in. It really easy for me to connect with the main character, at some points I felt like I was there fighting the grey people with Dahlia. This was not only a spooky horror story, but also a beautifully written book with a lot of diversity. I honestly can’t wait to read more from this author. I received this as a free ARC copy, but all opinions are my own.”
“I am never let down by Marlena Frank’s books!!! This was such an amazing horror/dystopian/SciFi book!!! I loved Marlena’s fantasy series, but her horror/dystopian is just as amazing!! Her descriptions are written so vividly that you can picture them as if you were there. To the point that I had a dream about it last night when I was 3/4 of the way through!! She also writes awesome characters, whether they’re good/bad/both, fae, human, alien, etc...you can’t help but feel invested in the characters. I am always anticipating her next book!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS!!!!!”
