With the third installment of the The Seeker Del, Roarke and the gang are on a mission to find Draka, Del’s friend and Phantom Dragon. As they do their best to figure out where Draka is, bits and pieces of Del’s memories of her childhood begin to surface and what her role in the grand scheme of things starts to become a little clearer.
As excited as I was to dive into Magic Revealed and finding out more about Del and what the whole Guardian and The Demise thing was about (as well as spend some quality time with Roarke) I found it difficult to get into the first part of the story. I can’t pinpoint what it was because the writing was as good as always and things story wise were moving along at a good clip, but I just wasn’t hooked. But I persevered and by about the halfway that changed as answers to Del’s past and what her role as Guardian and The Demise as well as why the demons seem to adore her, started to come to the forefront. Did we end up with more questions because of it? Of course, but now we are on a bit more solid ground (a bit) than before as we find out that Del is the lynch pin to what could be the end of the world as we know it.
Despite my struggle in the beginning, this was a fun read. Ms. Hall’s love and enjoyment of writing this series and these characters jumps out of the page at you from how she describes the places she sends her characters to, the tight spots she puts the gang in and the down time where we get to just hang out with everyone. I enjoyed how we got a good mix of Del solo, Del & Roarke and Del and her sisters and Aiden. The mix kept things interesting and I’m enjoying the pace at which Del & Roarke’s relationship is growing and can’t wait to see what happens next!

At a glance, life is perfect for Del Bellator. She’s getting the hang of her magic, the shop she runs with her friends is thriving, and she has a hot almost-boyfriend in the form of were-demon Roarke Fallon. But nothing is ever as it seems.
Del’s mysterious friend Draka is missing, and she’s in more danger than Del could ever realize. When Del receives a clue about Draka’s location, she sets off to save her. But a simple rescue mission turns into a game of cat and mouse that Del doesn’t know how to win. Her enemies are in the shadows, pulling the strings, and it’s all she can do not to fall into their grasp. It will take all of Del’s magic—and all the help she can get from her friends and Roarke—to save not just her Draka’s life, but her own. And the secrets she reveals along the way just might break her.
Magic Undying features a kick butt heroine, a powerful hero, and otherworldly adventure.
