When you’ve travelled between worlds, there’s nowhere left to go but home.
Rory has never been so cold in her life. But the biting wind only reminds her of another pain that grows more intense with each passing day.

Danger and intrigue at every turn, no distance is too far when you’re returning for true love.

But when Rory slips through another portal, taking his visions with her, he finds himself back at square one. To find her now he’ll need the help of an old friend and a little otherworldly magic. This time he intends to bring The Wanderer home for good.
I am usually a judge-the-book-by-its-cover kinda girl. But in Seen's case, I got intrigued with the blurb and decided to read it.
To keep my review short and simple and to the point, I'm listing off the good parts of the book and some that I didn't like much. First off, Seen has a very different genre from the books I usually read. What's great about this is that it's not your typical book with the usual cliche and that leaves for much excitement and unpredictable events. Secondly, I just love how original the characters' names are. I know some readers may not care much for this sort of thing, but to me, it just felt like it added more to the unique factor of the book. Third, I liked the characters a lot. They have such strong personalities and they were given much character by the author.
I honestly liked the story all in all, which to tell you the truth kinda surprised me since I was quite reluctant to read the book in the beginning.
What I didn't like about the book however is that some parts felt boring and just bland. Good thing though that the story picked up its pace as it progressed. I have no idea why but reading the blurb reminded me of Percy Jackson series - reading the book however feel a lot different.
Lastly, I would recommend the book to readers 12 years and up. It was exciting, fun and light. Left with a huge cliffhanger, one would definitely look out for the next book to come!
