Review
The Chime Seekers grip me that keeps my attention all the time. I’m so excited for the adventure especially knowing that this has a faerie in it!
Yanni felt sad after his sister's birth. He felt like his parents doesn't pay attention to him like they used to be. With moving to a new town, he even feels devastated about it. Right on the night of Halloween, when his parents went out for anniversary dinner. They left him to babysit his sister along with his cousin and he make a wish that he should not in the first place.
An evil faerie pay a visit to his house and took away his sister. For that, along with his cousin, they both are on a mission to rescue his sister which means he needs to enter the other side of the world. He has to battle the tricks that have been thrown at him in other to save his sister also explore the fae world.
It is nail-biting along the way following the adventure/battle to rescue Yanni's sister. I was enchanted by the story, got tricked by the evil fae, and heartwarming at the end. Love the friendship development in this book. It's really a fantastic story! Enjoy it so much!
