Seeker of Secrets - McLeo, Ashley

. .

Résumé :
A sweeping six-book urban fantasy series that will have you devouring the pages like a bloodlust-fevered vampire drinking from the vein. An unearthed magical stone that will change the world. A supernatural secret society prepared to defend it. And adversaries who want to burn civilization to the ground. In a job gone wrong, thief Meredith Stone, discovers the Pearl of Hell, thereby unleashing a dark magical awakening. When Tobias, a vampire member of a dark-artifact hunting secret society, finds Meredith, the Pearl is long gone. However, all is not lost. Meredith is more than what she seems: a witch of lore. A seeker. And a pain in Tobias's fangs. A PITF he is charged to protect. The duo is tasked with recovering the Pearl of Hell. The problem? Well, other than the fact that the Pearl of Hell, a legendary lapis caelesti famed for spurring madness and chaos, seems to have vanished into thin air? Tobias is experiencing bloodlust for the first time in over a century. Bloodlust for her. This series is a complete, progressively spicier urban fantasy series with multiple POVs, three featured M/F romances, deadly enemies, 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. ...

Sommaire:
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. ...
