Now that Alice Winters has moved out of her father's place, she decides to do something she never thought she would after her best friend's murder: make friends. When her co-worker invites her out for a drink, Alice agrees. What she doesn't expect is for Crim to completely disappear.

Now, Alice is doing a juggling act. Not only is she trying to figure out what happened to her friend, the ever elusive Rumpelstiltskin got her into the highly secured prison to see Beast - who may or may not have committed Anna's murder a year ago. Bank records show he received large payments around the time of the murder, but he refuses to say anything about it.

While Alice meets Shane - the guy Crim has been casually seeing - she can tell he knows more than what's going on, so she decides to follow him into the Blood Forest where nightmares come to life. The deeper Alice goes into the mystery surrounding Crim's disappearance, the more she realizes that a major confrontation is bound to occur, especially when she discovers the real reason why Crim was taken. It only gets worse when evidence reveals it has to do with the banishment of the Mad Mage himself.

With the grittiness and mystery of Riverdale and the magic and romance of Once Upon A Time, The Seeker’s Darkness is the thrilling third book in a captivating urban fantasy mystery readers are enchanted by!

Ratings and reviews

For me, this series is starting to feel like a funhouse mirror season of Castle. Each book has its own case to solve, but there’s still this big mystery tying everything together that we’re desperate to learn more about. When Alice’s co-worker and friend goes missing but no one seems interested in looking for her, Alice does the only thing she can: takes on the job herself. In the process, Alice learns more about the people she’s closest to, the nature of magic, and even herself. I almost feel like I have more questions now about the ‘big picture’ than I did before I started this book. We get some answers, but now they’ve just made me hunger for the rest of the story. I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book through Booksprout.

Quite a few spelling errors but that does not detract anything from the story which is even better than the 1st and 2nd. Loved it. Found it amazing 🥰

I have been enjoying the series so far. There seems to be more questions than answers. Must read.
